I forcefully hold the belief that those killing our fellow human beings are altered species of humans. Their desperate and determined motivation to spill blood is a clear statement confirming the sorry state of deprivity they found themselves.
Those who kill at will, killers' sense of reasoning has glaringly slept with their hearts badly condensed like wasted cement. They have been brainwashed and indoctrinated through sustained diabolic, cheap and manipulative orientation and, so, cannot think straight.
Who will rescue these ones, our prayers and the determination to halt their proliferation can be achieved through strategic and practical engagement. In a democracy, dialogue means a lot but can fail, especially, in rooting out crass and perennial acts of criminality.
It is important to note that there is no force no matter how strong, can stand the superior and legitimate force of the state. Therefore, it is an ominous sign of failed statism when non-state actors appear emboldened and stronger than the state.
Oh mother Nigeria, you are called upon to arise and restore your dignity. Let's end the killings in north central, north west, north East, south east, south south, everywhere in the country.
Our security odds are reversible. Achieving this reversal is not a brainer, rocket science but deliberate political will from our state actors and state institutions - Law enforcement agencies, our law courts and anti-corruption commissions, etc!
As we herald the handing over and taking over of reign of power both at state and national levels in Nigeria. May we witness the dawn of a purposeful government whose only ambition is to make our country productive and better. A new Nigeria is possible even in our time!
