‘’For all practical purposes Nigeria is a security wreck. It is just waiting for the least spark’’
By Jimanze Ego-Alowes
TUE, FEB 04 2020-theG&BJournal– When a section of the Americans policy community, wrote a trend piece that Nigeria will collapse on 2015 or so, many said they were wrong. Their claims of American prognosis being wrong was based on the passage of time. After all, 2015 had come and Nigeria was still standing.
However, that is to miss the whole idea of trending a scenario. The point is that trend mapping only gives a rough and ready answer. Trend spotting is not a mathematical science. In other words, dates have meaning in future tracking only to the extent they are seen as guideposts not measured out distances, in time or space.
The point, is that as things stand now the American prognosis of the Nigerian future has come upon us. For all practical purposes Nigeria is a security wreck. It is just waiting for the least spark and it may be Armageddon this time.
What is to be done? Decentralize Nigeria, security, police, polity etc. as urgently as yesterday. That is the only way to have Nigeria well and running. All else is in humor. Ahiazuwa.
