BROKEN BOUND They are not fulani herdmen, they areTERRORIST. Treat them as such.


Introduction
Nigeria is undergoing a systematic death a gender tending towards complete restriction of the state. we become ever confuse over what to face as what is before us and against us is much more stronger it seems than us. More worrisome is the fact that all these are perpetuated by Nigerians against Nigerians. This problem stems from what I view as our poor attitudes at managing blessings in Nigeria. is it the Biafaran movement that brought the Civil war, Book Haram Issue that have so much destroyed the state of the nation, the Niger Delter militancy that destroyed our resources and international relations or the most recent suspected Fulani herdsmen gullira night attacks that have rendered our state a death zone that is not a pointer to the above claim? Again this monsterious bodies do this harm and are protected by the bounds the had long broken before their operations even reached the news desk. While the Biafaran Movement enjoys protection fro the tag "Biafaran" which makes every 'Biafaran' (if anything exists as such) feel it is his/her interest that is sort for, the Book Haram enjoys "Islamic", the Militancy "Niger Deltan" and the recent attacks enjoys the protection of the tag "Fulani".
In my opinion, it is this tags that so made the problem seem near impossible to resolve. The earlier we accept this the better for us. I borrow a leave from my themes on morality where the case is similar to this, where fornication and adultry are simply made less evil by their new name, " Catching fun, sugar Mummy, Extramarital affairs, e.t.c" I recall in boarding schools you hear such names "Shifting, Borrowing, Shoping e.t.c". These words that are used to replace the word stealing or theft and this replacements makes theft amongst students appear a common thing to do as you would hear a students say with no shame or regret 'I shifted his book'.
The strength of the implication of a word will never be thesam when such a word is replace to another. We appear to miss understand the distinction between nearest in meaning and the same meaning. No two elinglish words can have the same meaning (I stand to be corrected). But if that be true, it is only worthwhile that our Government, policy makers and security operatives readress this issue.
What Nigeria is suffering form is not what we are addressing, when we are suppose to address terrorist attacks we are wasting our time addressing sectional, regional, religious and 'bla! bla!! bla!!' issues. we have lost the definition of what we should address and I only wonder, if there is a problem in the definition of a problem,,how can that problem be solved aproprately. supposing I have the power to decide which air I breath and I miss defind oxygen as caborndiaoxide, would I not breath in the wrong air? This is the case with Nigeria and this is what provoked this though in me hence this little piece for the sake of the suffering nation.

Victims in Waiting:
Day in day out Nigerian's lives victims in potency, we are either waiting for the doom soon to fall on us or a doom soon to fall on what we hold dear. Directly or indirectly we are victims in waiting. But enevitable is not the problem for now, the problem is the evitable out indifference is making inevitable. long in the days we saw a gun only on the screen but it never dawn on us to see it as a thing we can hear as existing near us, then we would hear the sound of a gun in the air during arm forces celebrations, Independence day and a host of other celebrations of like manner but we never thought of the sound of a gun as something more than a celebration, then we began to hear the news of war in countries far off, and we would always see it as a foreign man's problem. When the unwanted guest landed in the green white green land, it was to reveal a great folly. When we heared of Maiduguri, it was their problem, when it shifted to plateau State, it was the Plateau natives disunity that have cought up with them and Kaduna state indigine in collaboration with other states of the federation will sit in folded hands. In plateau it was the Birom problem and the Ngas ... would be sleeping in snoring until their turn is dawn.
And when it shifted to the Ganawuri axis, it was still a plateau state problem, even when it moved to Zanang in Kauura Local Government of Kaduna State, Moro'a chiefdom of the same state would still see it as a Takad Chiefdom wahala that would not cross over. And so we slumber as death move close and close, we slept comfortably victims in waiting while the evil one was is having a nicely-easy show in a land so acclaimed peaceful, united and strong when in fact she is but a fragmebted weak troubled state. We left our proverbs and wise saying lay in waste else the hausa proverb "in kagan gemun Dan'uwan ka na jin wuta, yi maza ka neme ruwa ka shafa was naka" would have been a stronger tool of changing our definition into 'ready fighters in advance'.
