MEND VS BOKO HARAM: THE KILLING GAME..

   The title might seem more like a controversial tag on the concerned movement that has become a regular household names in every corner of Nigeria; Boko Haram and MEND. Boko Haram as a word usually gives me a typographic error on my Microsoft Word pad but I guess the program is now used to the consistent use of those inimical two words.

   Over the past three years or more, these groups have caused irrecoverable damage to the populace than any natural or political disaster known to man. The government whose primary responsibility is to protect the lives and properties of the citizen has become an umpire in the 'kidnapping, killing and bombing game' that these cancerous movement has introduced. rather than curbing this upsurge, the government has chosen to place a prize on who kills more of the citizen between both.

  The militant of the Niger delta won the game a couple of years ago by killing about six expatriates and uncountable citizens and the reward was amnesty and a mouth-watering package of budgetary allocation that exceeds the health sector in the same country. The killer gets an unfair share than the victims.

   As we have witnessed today, the Boko Haram sect seem to be ahead of the competitive 'killing game' as this group record massive death toll to their credit (condemnation) than ever. In a compensatory respond from the FG, the prize for the winner this time seem way too attractive that the runner-up wants a re-match. The threatening bombing date released by the MEND has however attracted the victims cum fan of their efficacy. why give us a bombing date? will Boko Haram ever do that. Its seem more like the Yoruba proverb that says Ogun a so tele kii paro to gbon (the fore-told war wont kill the wise handicapped).
   My concern is that the government is beginning to find it interesting. Maybe is a modality they have fashion out to annihilate a cross section of the population so as to have few people to cater for (like they ever did). Why should a government find pleasure in 'breaking news'? What price tag do we actually placed on human lives? who dictate on who deserves to die?

We have witnessed the recent bombing in Boston yesterday and have got rain of feedback from government and stakeholder who have promise not to hold anything back in their quest to bring the perpetrators to book. It was just yesterday. How can a two anti-people movement group be competing right under the nose of the government at the expense of the lives of the citizen and the government be playing 'siddon look'. I can bet your guess is as good as mine. Lets see if we can survive as a nation without people
