IT IS A CRIME TO BE A NOBODY IN NIGERIA

  With over a 100 days since the abduction of the Chibok girls and with the exception of the claim by the Nigerian army months ago that it knows where the girls are being held captives, nothing appears to be happening, especially in the area of their rescue, if something is happening it won´t be out of place to say that it is poorly coordinated and obviously unproductive.

 The Boko Haram terrorist group has grown even more ferocious, and carried out even more daring and devastating operations, killing and maiming many innocent nigerians, capitalizing as it were on the impasse of our government who waited for little Malala to come into the country to convince our President elect and the present father of our nation to meet with the parents of the abducted Children as though 170 million people does not know the right thing to do until a 17 year-old girl came into our country to lecture our president.  

  In the course of our government continuous perplexity, the Boko Haram group has even advanced into using women and little girls as suicide bombers, they have allegedly organized a makeshift toll gate in some part of Maiduguri their stronghold and are obliging motorists to pay them toll fees, in a country that is continuously referred to as the FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.

  They are gradually making their notorious incursions into many other states including Lagos where a female suicide bomber was said to have tried to provoke a disaster, an action which the  government claimed had nothing to do with Boko Haram but for which the Boko Haram spokesperson has claimed responsibility.

  We are still waiting for the confirmation or denial from the Boko Haram group with respect to the purported failed assassination plan of rtd. Major General Muhammadu Buhari which has taken a more political twist lately, as the ruling party, the PDP and the main opposition, the APC have been trading unsavoury words and accusing each other rather than uniting forces to fight the common enemy, the Boko Haram

  Just some days ago, news got to the world that in Cameroon, the terrorist group Boko Haram abducted the wife of the cameroonian vice President, and this provoked an immediate reaction from the cameroonian governemnt who dold out its full artillery and went into war with the group, succeeding forthwith to free the woman and kill many of the terrorists.  The question then is this, is Cameroon richer, better equipped militarily and logistically than Nigeria? Are their army personnel better trained and more patriotic than ours?

  Imagine for once that rather than being the children of unfortunate peasant Nigerians, the children in the custody of the Boko Haram group today are the daughters of the high and the mighties in our society, from Obasanjo, through Babangida, Jonathan, David Mark and others in that echelon of power. Do you think anybody will need to raise a placard of #bringbackourgirls# before those girls are released, by any means necessary?

 The truth is not far fetched, it is a crime to be a nobody in Nigeria.
