May 29th: Where Next Nigeria? Asks Tim Akano - ITREALMS

Commentary@ITREALMS ... making leadership SENSE with digital news!

Now, Nigeria is without form and void. Darkness covers the face of the deep and the unquiet Spirit is hovering over the land. Africa’s most populous country is at a fresh dangerous crossroads. At the beginning when darkness covered the earth, God said: ‘’Let there be Light,’’ and there was light. Now, Nigeria needs a leader who will command light to outshine the country's darkness and exorcise the unquiet spirit. Once a country returns to factory-reset mode or Hobbes's state of nature: Optimism, Peace and Hope disappear, none of our important human needs is reliably realizable in such a milieu.

Indeed, the perfect storm is already gathering, killer herdsmen have since cut short their vacation, they visited an IDP camp in Benue state and massacred over 128 internally displaced people mostly pregnant women and children recently, before zooming off to Sokoto, they had a stopover in Kaduna where reckless kidnapping and killings took place. The DSS came out publicly to declare that the State of the Union is fragile as some VIPs are scheming for something strange to the constitution, threatening that the price of holding the May 29th change of baton event amounts to the death of democracy!
