Is Nigeria Ready To Grant Amnesty To MASSOB And OPC? by Omojuo: 10:25am On Mar 21, 2013 |
Today, any uprising is greeted with call for amnesty. Whether the agitation is meaningful or meaningless, politicians will call on the FG to grant them amnesty. The militants took up arms in the Niger delta, protesting against the deplorable state of their region, even when it serves as the economic base of the nation, the result was amnesty. While this was commended by all, one wonders if the call for amnesty for others that are troubling us is worth being considered. The issue that has dominated media discourse today is amnesty for the Boko Haram, a group that wants Nigeria to practice a single religion, ISLAM. They have killed scores, to realize this agenda, not forgetting properties lost in this meaningless struggle. My question is, are we ready to grant amnesty to MASSOB and OPC when they eventually take up arms against government? This is becos every agitation is followed by call for amnesty? Reactions pls. |
