!!!!!!!! ANALYZE THIS. WHAT IS THE DEFINATION OF A FAILED STATE ?. A STATE WHERE THER IS NO RULE OF LAW, NO ENFORCABLE SECURITY, AND EVERYBODY IS A LAW UNTO THEMSELVES. DOES THIS DESCRIBE NIGERIA TO YOU EVEN BEFORE 2015 ?. LETS TALK ABOUT KIDNAPPING. MY HOME TOWN BENIN CITY HAS NOW BEEN TURNED INTO A DEN OF THIEVES AND ARMED ROBBERS. THE GOVENMENT THERE SEEMS TO HAVE NO CLUE ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON, OR THEY ARE JUST COMPLACENT, AS IF THIS IS THE NEW NORMAL. LAST MONTH A PROMINENT LAWYER OZEKHOME WAS KIDNAPPED. TWO WEEKS AGO, A FRIEND OF MINE, JUSTICE OKUNGBOWO WAS KIDNAPPED. HE WAS RELEASED A WEEK AGO AFTER HIS LEFT LITTLE FINGER WAS CUT OFF AND A BIG CUTLASS GASH TO HIS HEAD. LAST SUNDAY THE MOTHER OF ONE OF MY CHILDHOOD FRIENDS CEASAR IYAYI-EFIONAYI AND HIS STEP MOTHER WERE KIDNAPPED IN GRA BENIN NOT FAR FROM MY HOUSE, THAY ARE STILL BEEN HELD. YESTERDAY THE WIDOW OF THE FORMER NUMBER 2 MAN IN NIGERIA AUGUSTUS AKHIOMU WAS KIDNAPPED ALSO IN BENIN, ALTHOUGH I HEARD SHE WAS RESCUSED SOMEWHERE IN DELTA STATE. TWO DAYS AGO, THE GOVERNOR OF EDO STATE SIGNED INTO LAW THE AMENDED ANTI-KIDNAPPING BILL WHICH NOW MAKES KIDNAPPING A DEATH PENALTY OFFENCE. THE FEAR OF BENIN CITY IS NOW THE BEGINNING OF WISDOM. THIS ALSO PLAYS OUT IN MOST AREAS OF NIGERIA. WHAT IS THE ANSWER TO THIS SCOURGE. OPC IN LAGOS, MOSSOB IN THE EAST, BOKO HARAM IN THE NORTH SEEM TO DISCOURAGE THIS PRACTICE. DOES EDO STATE NEED A CIVIL DEFENSE FORCE LIKE THIS, SINCE THE NIGERIAN POLICE AND THE CONSTITUTED GOVERNMENTS CAN NO LONGER DEFEND US ?. I HAVE NOT BEEN IN BENIN CITY IN 6 YEARS, AND WITH STORIES LIKE THIS, I DONT THINK I WILL BE GOING THERE SOON. !!!!!!!
