SHARING YOUR TERRITORY

From inception, the issue of security has remained a pivotal role of everyone living within a given society. In the olden days, we have our neighbourhood watch which engages the service of the youth, the elders, the spiritual leaders of the community; the chief priest, priestess and the herbalist. Everyone was involved in the issues of security. It was never easy for a stranger to penetrate the traditional security apparatus of our people without being noticed and apprehended by the responsible organ.

The threat to our lives and properties started when the role of safeguarding our communities by ourselves, were relegated to the background by handing it over to strangers and foreigners through the obnoxious policies of the Federal Government of Nigeria. Is it not surprising that the state Governors who are the chief security officers of their states do not have power over the police in their state, as against the constitutional provision on such matters?

Two major issues that formed the lyrics of the mantra used during electioneering campaign that brought in the ruling party; APC in Nigeria are, Security and Corruption. It is now left for those who claim they are Nigerians to conduct a “SIA” (Social Impact Assessment) of these issues.  How many Fulani Herdsmen are in jail for invading, burning, raping, maiming and wiping out a good number of indigenous populations? How many Boko Haram terrorist are in jail for sacking so many villages in the North East and other Northern states and even invading a military Barrack? It is no longer news that some alleged repented Boko Haram terrorist have been inducted into Nigeria Army. Nigeria is currently playing host to the to the United Nations recognized terrorists; Fulani Herdsmen, Boko Haram, Miyetti Allah and Bandits.

The old Eastern Region also known by her ancient name; Biafra has become the victims of various onslaught in the contraption called Nigeria, as all these terror groups have infiltrated the police, the army and even cattle herders. This is the price Biafrans are paying for being forced by Britain to share their territory with terrorist.

One of the founding mothers of modern Israel Mrs Golder Mayr made a striking comment when addressing the regular issue of conflict in the middle East in the 50s between Israel and Palestine; "I will never share my territory with terrorists.” This is the same cry of the Biafrans today. And United Nations should as matter of urgency do the needful, to avert another civil war which is imminent, for Biafrans have the divine and legal right to defend themselves.

Oh Biafrans, freedom is our goal!
