Biafra,Police,Terrorism and Crime in Nigeria

Nigerian citizens are indeed victims of terrorism on a daily basis.People are subjected to all kinds of indignity for various reasons.You are terrorised for lack of adequate means of transportation by bus drivers and their mates known as conductors.All kinds of foul language spew from their mouth as if they were born with profanities.That is terrorism by other means.Fuel scarcity is a recurring decimal.When you think the problem has been tackled and laid to rest,it rears its ugly heads up without warning.Lives are lost as people store flammable petrol in their houses.More people die in the attempt to sabotage petroleum pipelines.Trucks laden with the product are involved in series of freak accidents that claim many lives.The Nigerian Senate is already in the process of passing a bill that will muzzle free speech which they term the social media bill.Majority of Nigerians feel they are being terrorised by their law makers not minding the fact that the same lawmakers came to power on the back of the social media.Every where you look in Nigeria,you are being terrorised.Domestic violence is another form of terrorism which is rampant in Nigeria.The other day a woman was bathed with acid by her husband for alleged infidelity.It is a thing of surprise however that agitators for Biafra have not resorted to violence in the propagation of their agenda.The Police must also be commended for not loosing their cool over the agitation.Our people must not resort to violence in other to make their voice to be heard.The Police on its part must continue to re strategize in her rules of engagement to avoid hitherto peaceful groups from donning the toga of violence.The case of Boko Haram is a very good example.What do we say about driving in our major cities?Driving in Nigeria is another form of terrorism.Drivers hardly obey traffic rules and thereby terrorise others.Sometimes you see motorists alight from their vehicles to engage in raw physical combat all because of reckless driving and resultant collisions.Sirens blare to drive lesser mortals from the highway.The sirens don't come from emergency units like ambulances or fire trucks but by those in government or some vagabonds who came by sudden wealth the source of which are usually questionable.So on a daily basis in Nigeria Security people have a lot to contend with.Atimes too, they also ignite conflict.There have been cases where soldiers invaded police barracks or stations shooting indiscriminately.Lawlessness at its peak.One wonders when we shall begin to get things right in Nigeria.Your guess is as good as mine.
