Unfortunately, the madness rages on,despite the colossal losses suffered by the Boko Haram insurgency,as expected,they have proved a die hard plague and menace of Nigeria's North Eastern region.
Personally, I think the insurgency is no longer a big deal and it's possible to wipe them out TOTALLY.
The blunt truth is that the insurgency has been given a respite,they have been given enough time to rest,recover,regroup and recruit new members. It's still a misery to me how our security operatives couldn't see what I could see and sense as 'bloody civilian'.
Ordinarily, when an insurgency is crushed and chased out of its location the next logical thing to do is to follow up with 'reorientation'. This is obviously needed considering the fact that insurgencies such as Boko Haram feeds heavily on local people's sympathy. They simply mix into the general public and conduct a big time brainwash program in their bid to recruit members and connect strongly with the people who ignorantly continue to shield them against the security agencies.
I'm seriously appealing to those in authority to look into this matter and see how a reorientation exercise,special anti insurgency programs can be aired rigorously on the local and mass media to which the locals of the North East are tuned to...the insurgents are still able to strike coz,they still get to recruit new members and enjoy local people's sympathy.
Please don't just read this SHARE if you are concerned and care about the loss of lives we suffer daily!

Nigeria's Insecurity: Boko Haram
Wednesday, March 8, 2017
Open Letter to the Kwara state Government
We all know that the primary duty of any government to her people is the insurance of the security of their lives and properties.To cut the long story short,it's the duty of the government to ensure the well being of the general populace that's domicile within her territory.It's in return,that the citizens too have to pay certain dues,charges and taxes as the case may be.
On bringing this definition to play in Kwara state has proved to be a daunting task,because,personally,I can categorically tell you that I haven't enjoyed anything tangible from the state government despite the fact that I pay my monthly tax through my employers.
Nothing seem to be working in today's Kwara,water from the Water Corporation is now history,nothing is done about the lack of jobs,security is now being handled by communities as well as the installation of power infrastructures.So ask then,why should I pay the new charges which is well over N8 000 as tenement rate?
You haven't been able to show anything for the taxes I pay as of today,why should I trust that I would see any now???
Don't get me wrong,I'm willing and ready to pay this and many more so long I get to see what you do with my money.Of the over N17 billion you raised in 2016,I'm yet to see any tangible thing you've done with it.
I therefore,wish to inform you that I shan't be paying a dime more than I already until I begin to see the dividends of government through meaningful project developments and provision of top quality product and services from the state government.
We continue to wait and please,remember that we travel to other states and know what's obtainable in other parts of the country.It's our hope and lofty desire that the state government would wake up to her duties and not just think about generating revenues.I rest my case for now!
Yours faithfully,
Naija Patriot
