The restlessness we are facing in Nigeria today have it root in corruption, injustice, moral decadence and deteriorating value system.

The most popular topic in the federal Republic of Nigeria today is insecurity and banditry, which have claimed thousands of lives introspecting from the actions of violent groups wrecking havoc from the North to the South for over a decade now.

When the ideology rooted crises began from the northern part of Nigeria some years ago, the elites from that of the country and political leaders turned it into politics, empowered it as a means to uproot the government of former President Goodluck Jonathan who they see as misfit and kafir (been an ijaw Christian from the South), who must be removed either by force or by crook or through the ballot.

The Hydra snake originated as a movement against western education (Boko haram) spreading into deeper part of the North where Sharia was already established as islamic education, code of conduct in settling dispute and unofficial state religion.

Majority of the politicians and traditional rulers were sympathizing with the cause of the boko haram, as majority see them as activists wielding gun fighting for the interest of the North and also promoting islamic principles. Some with conquest mindset see the boko haram movement as a foot soldiers of the North to be used in conquering the other parts of the country in the nearest future, instead of them to condemn the actions of the group against the Nigerian state, they speak in defending the violent extremism of this group and demanded that the government of Nigeria grant them amnesty.

The patronage this group was getting from the northern elites gave birth to other factions of similar ideology but of different command structure pursuing the same cause. With out-of-school children littering across the part of the country as almajiri without formal education, a perfect hub for recruitment of children soldiers, suicide bombers and next generation of kachalla springing across other geopolitical zones today and spreading terror.

The Enthronement of Buhari as the president of Nigeria gave invitation and nod to Fulani fighters, mercenaries, rebel groups in the Sahel and Central Africa region to troop to Nigeria to conquer and possess, while the Miyetti Allah cattle breeders association act as spokesperson defending the violent actions of french speaking mercenaries disguising as herders waging war on farmers, farming communities and villages from State to state with major occupation of Southern Kaduna, Benue, Plateau, Zamfara, Nassarawa between 2015-2023.

The sponsors of these groups in the Nigeria government and military turned the massacre of innocent villagers into farmers-herders clashes, a narrative they used to hide the atrocities of killer Fulani herders who attacked and destroyed farms unprovoked.

Boko haram violent action was restricted to Bornu state, Yobe state and Adamawa state, but the killer herders became the mobile terror promoter spreading bloodshed from the North to the middlebelt and into the South.

After general outcry and testimonies from survivors that the people who attacked them constantly, rape their women, destroyed their farms, burned their properties and killed their children are Fulani people, the elites in government turned the cries around and hide the atrocities using "ethnic profiling" that crime should not be limited to one tribe, that "not all Fulani commit crimes".

The terrorist action of the Fulani continues in the Benue and part of the middlebelt, the Ministry of information and military service chiefs of Buhari government conspired to suppress the media from revealing this massacre, ethnic cleansing and land grabbing mission of the Fulani group, so they transformed the Fulani killing herders/terrorist name to one appealing which hides the tribe orchestrating the killing and kidnapping of innocent people "BANDITS".

Whenever an attack came up on innocent villagers and communities, instead of the media to give accurate information about the group who perpetuated the crime, it will be reported as " Bandit attacked " giving a cover and immunity to the terror group to continue with the gospel of bloodshed.

The operation safe heaven of the Nigeria army that started during the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari was an indirect empowerment programme designed to release arrested Boko haram and Fulani bandits through rehabilitation and reintegration back into the society, instead of trial and punishment, they get housing and nourishment, while some generals and soldiers paid the heavy price with their lives on the battlefield in the hand of Boko haram and other terrorist groups.

Until corruption is purge from our system, our value system reorganized, justice is enthroned, morality and religious decency replaced extremism, restructuring is adopted nationwide, merit based system replaced paddy-paddy system of public and private engagement, until then, ogbomosho school children kidnapped will not be the last.
