While I do not sympathize with the Fulanis, let's not ignore their accomplices

 

A man was reported to have been kidnapped on the way to catch a flight

to the US. It could be coincidental but kidnapping is big business.

It is all well and good to blame the herdsmen. I have heard of how well organized the herdsmen are in terms of self defense.

But like Shehu Sani pointed out in a Television Interview and kidnappers too have had to say it, they are not alone. They have powerful backers. 

They may be in Government or in business, at the corridors of power. Like they say, they are not spirits.

If we set our hearts to it, we may well find out who they are and what their motives are.

Miyetti Allah as presently constituted have what it takes in terms of personnel. That alone precludes talk of outsiders being involved but until an investigation is carried out we shall never get to the bottom of the problem.

For the right money, youths join Boko Haram, I believe that with the right amount, youths too will willingly betray their people to kidnappers.

It all boils down to warped values and unemployment and underemployment. Our politicians should save us. About this I am sure, the moment the kidnapping gets close to the politicians, they will act.

But come to think of it, is it that their security is that tight that they do not get kidnapped? Could they be in the loop? At least they are not all Fulanis.

What is really going on?
