04 Dec Myriad of Insecurity
Myriad of Insecurity
by Agboola Ibrahim Toyin 
Nigeria like the remnants of wrecked Sodom and
Gomorrah where ills turn the bosom of the earth –
a place where dreams become successful like a
failure.
NIGERIA! MY NIGERIA!
Nigeria, my fatherland, my nation, our nation – who has
sewn for herself attire of problem beyond her suit.
Within creasing internal stresses, messes, strains and
pains
Our problem is not the problem but the problem of vision
and inaction of those who serve and save the
situations.
We are slaves of adversity, the bane of growth and
murderer of hope.
Our establishment of security secures our insecurity
and not humanity
blows terrible discomfort to our society and incessantly crave a decline to our entity.
When death wants to take a little dog, it prevents it
from smelling excrement.
When extinction wants a nation, it prevents it from
placing values in human lives.
We are in a land where death through great brutality
becomes a usual festivity, and its rapidity blows
terrible fans of sympathy through the consistency of
insurgency, kidnapping with skillful accuracy, and
banditry on a menacing tendency, which has made for
us instability in government and has taken our
beloved compatriots to land unknown.
2014 captivity of young students kept thousands of
mothers in endless agony and dramatically threw the
land intense disharmony.
The recent massive bloodshed of young souls over
Lekki massacre breaks things more apart, and no one is
dared called to account.
Kidnap-for-ransom – a lucrative adventure as
lingering rage of herders becomes six times deadlier
than the Boko Haram insurgency.
Oh! there was a country where things are no longer at
ease.
The education we know through schooling is a means for
prosperity, but here it is a niece of abject poverty.
This is not the Nigeria we want. Let us all feature in the
kind of picture we have nurtured for a future we want
for this Nation of great nature. God bless Nigeria.
