After colonization, Nigeria was destined for greatness. But due to some unscrupulous citizens who initiated strategies to wrestle the peace of the country for their selfish interest, Nigeria now becomes the shadow of herself. Insecurity now becomes a part of their daily lives.
There is an adage that says we shouldn't make a dress before a child is born, but so many became victim for judging that Nigeria can take it rightful place as the giant of Africa. Instead they are edging closer to becoming the giant of insecurity.
We've had series of incidents that has affected the lives and properties in the country. So many lives have gone in the past few years due to meaningless clashes. Nigeria have recorded the highest number of kidnapping cases and we are still expecting more.
In no particular order, Nigeria have had so many insecurity challenges ranging from kidnapping, banditry, militant operation and sometimes religious tussle. For example in Plateau state which is the Northern part of Nigeria, there have been cases of religious fights between Christians and Muslim faithfuls, and rumour has it that their fights is said to be emanating from bragging rights for territory dominance, and we are still waiting to see how true this is. This tussle have cost so many lives and enmity among inhabitants of the area.
The issue of police misusing their power has also been one of the security challenges facing the country which led to the EndSars protest, and this made the people to be living in fear that police who were supposed to be protecting lives and properties are now destroying it. The fulani herdsmen clash with farmers was seen as another dimension of insecurity in the country, reason being that it affected the rural dwellers.
The Indigenous People of Biafra(IPOB) who have been fighting for independent in the south and the Boko haram in the North which reasons for their fights is yet to be revealed have also been reasons for insecurity in the country, and Nigeria have lost lives due to selfish interest.
Despite efforts from the government, non governmental organizations and external body to put an end to security challenges in the country, it's quite unfortunate that the country and the people living in it have refused to change.
Couple of investors have abandoned the country and their investment because of security challenges. Foreigners who would have loved to explore some of the tourist center in the country have had a change of mind considering their safety which the country won't be able to give to them.
Nigeria is passing through a lot and may God help her
May god bless you and protect you and the people of Nigeria.
This perioid shall pass and Nigeria shall become the beacon of hope for other African countries, this i belive strongly!
