This Joint Task Force should engage the criminal elements who are kidnapping people not villagers protesting peacefully the neglect of their community by government. |

I wonder when our government will respect the right of her citizens to protest injustice meted out to them by foreign multinationals. Our soldiers who could not confront their Camerounian counterparts in Bakassi, are now testing the fire-power of their riffles on unarmed youths fighting a just cause. The community leaders in these areas also contribute to this unrest, because most times, they misappropriate the community developement funds entrusted to them by these agents of neo-colonialism, striving towards the impoverishment of their host communities with the help of our law enforcement agents. Government should remember that the force to reclaim rights and address injustice is far more moral than the force to supress same. One needs to visit these host communities to see the level of neglect prevalent there. Some don't even know what electricity is, while their backyard oil companies neighbours are living like Egyptian Pharoahs. They totally evade their social responsibilities. When will Nigerian leaders ever think right? God help us! |
