1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Fulani
herdsmen attack and farmers clashes has brought a lot of problems to
our society including Nigeria. These include death, tears, destruction
and so on. The way it is it seems our government has not acted
significantly to put this security challenges to an end. Ese Otite of
Nigerian National News asked “is the government waiting for all her
citizens to fizzle out, before they can take a decisive step to curb the
activities of this extremist group? What are the security agencies
doing? Or do we say maybe those in power have not been affected either
because they and their families move about with convoys filled with
security personnel?â€
Nigeria is going down a path never seen in her
history. It’s a pretty dangerous path, one that the whole world is
watching. People are afraid of their safety. At a time, we taught our
problem was corruption and power failure, but now security has taken
over. With what is happening the President should come out strong and
call the shots, he has to face the security challenges. It is very clear
that not enough is being done to address their security menaces of the
Fulani herdsmen. All they now do is to promote their own religion
instead of protecting Nigeria. This government should as a matter of
national urgency overhaul our security system. Nigeria occupies an
enviable position in the world with abundant natural and human
resources. The government should look deeper in order to find a lasting
solution to this carnage. Moreover, the truth must be told, we lack the
sophisticated weapons to suppress the crisis in the custody of the
extremists/criminals. Also, there is inadequate manpower; the number of
the extremists/criminals is insignificant.
