The Chairman of the House Committee on Diaspora Affairs, Mrs Abike Dabiri-Erewa, on Wednesday said that whatever strategy the Federal government was using to curb the Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria was not working hence the need to seek help of experts both within and outside Nigeria
Dabri-Erewa who represents the Ikorodu Constituency of Lagos state, in the House of Representatives said that she was worried that there was no compassion in governance in Nigeria anymore, portrayed by President Jonathan's partying in Kano, a day after the bomb blast that claimed the lives of Innocent Nigerians.
Speaking at a " Girls in ICT Day" workshop at the Sheraton Hotels Lagos, the Lawmaker described President Goodluck Jonathan's visit to kano to sing and dance a day after the Nyanya bombing and on a day 234 girls were abducted in Borno as insensitive ,callous.prepostorous and very very annoying
She called on President Jonathan to apologize not only to the families and victims of the Nyanya bombings but also to the families of the abducted girls and to all Nigerian woman.
Dabiri-Erewa also called on all mothers to be united and mobilise in demanding and pleading for the release of the abducted girls.
She noted that the need for Nigeria to seek outside help had become necessary following continued attacks on Nigeria by the Boko Haram sect.
" There are Nigerian experts on security in diaspora that could be contacted/consulted by government to assist.
"The recent bombing in Nyanya, an outskirt of the Federal Capital territory and the abduction of over 200 girls from a secondary school in Borno has shown that efforts by the nation's security do not seem to be working effectively.
"The fight on terrorism is yet to curb the insurgency situation in Nigeria and such huge security challenge cannot be allowed to continue.
"Nigeria needs assistance even from security experts accross the globe that must not necessarily be Nigerians" she stated.
The Lawmaker decried the abduction of innocent little girls by the Boko Haram sect and appealed to them to set them free.
According to her, as long as Nigeria can no longer guarantee the safety of its young ones, there is need for wider consultations.
"The little ones are the hope and future of this nation. We cannot sit and watch them being destroyed daily," she further stated.
*What is your opinion? I suggested that Nigeria seeks outside help in one post but some comments schooled me on the dangers of that.
Exactly what I have been saying a long time ago, this is bigger than us, Nigeria should seek help from foreign country

ReplyDeleteIf you go for lifesaving surgery there is a risk involved with it. Nigeria needs lifesaving surgery right now, and yes there is a risk involved, but should the country sit and let this cancer grow until it destroys the entire nation, or should it do everything to wipe it out and make sure it never resurface again?
ReplyDeleteWhen I urged Naija to seek help...nobody published!

ReplyDeleteWhat kind of outside help? If not for corruption we had the best intelligence services in Nigeria under Abacha and IBB. Is it oyibo that will infiltrate BH? All this talk of outside help is bull. What we need is will power...political and otherwise. I remember those days when we had DMI and SSS infiltrate groups and feed info back to the government.
ReplyDeleteCase in point, if not for the Doctor living near Osama Bin Ladin, that was the spy, do you think America would have got the bastard?
Good intelligence work will defeat these fools called BH

ReplyDeleteYes it is good to ask for help. Abike Dabiri, can you please tell us how much you take home annually ??..Please be honest while at it. I like you but you are among those causing Nigeria's problem.
