Great one:
This is a timely warning. I noted below the force in your powerful analysis.
If the President speaks, in view of the force below, are the frustrated masses going to listen?
The easiest thing for the President to say is that the police and the army will work harder. This won't work if the crisis is induced by the failure of development.

I think Nigerians are keen in listening to the President because the insecurity in the country has not only widened but has also taken a clear class dimension. The explosion of armed robbery, mass kidnapping and petty crimes all over the country is a statement from the masses that they are fed up with a country in which national resources are being fought for openly and shared by different factions of the elite and no one is doing anything for the masses. The spike in insecurity is therefore a statement that if the elite are engaged in self-help, the masses too would follow them and play the game. It is in this context that the circulation of small arms and light weapons has escalated as the youth in particular decide to adopt the slogan of one of the political parties of the Second Republic – "You Chop, I Chop"
