The former defence minister General Theophilus Danjuma seems to believe that Nigeria is a failed state.
" At the 50th birthday celebration of the Publisher of the Leadership
newspaper, Mr. Sam Nda-Isaiah yesterday, sounds of despondence,
hopelessness and failed expectations rang loud as the former Defence
Minister, General Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma, declared openly that the
nation had become another Somalia.
He said: "The Somalianization of Nigeria nation is taking place right
now. And for those of us from the North, I say it here that the North is
on fire. Let us tell ourselves the truth and stop deceiving ourselves,
the Chief Security Officer of every state is the governor, but I ask all
of us here, where are the governors of the northern states that the
region keeps burning and nothing seems to be done. The North has failed
just like the entire nation."
"Borno State as an instance has failed completely. Jigawa State has
failed also and worst of all, Kano of all places is about to fail. So,
where exactly are we going? We hear and see multi-million naira fences
erected around Government Houses, but what about the citizens? Where is
their security"? he asked.
This is so true, wat about the poor masses, who will protect us? i
remember telling someone yesterday that the people (Professors incusive
who lost their lives are real people,), not just some nobody, these were
children and parents trying to better their lot, let pray for our
country.
