More than meets the eye

More than meets the eye

Under the current security situation of Islamic insurgency led by the youths of the Muslim North any such innocent unique mass movement especially by the Northern young men should have been reported to authorities in all their transit states and cities before commencement of such movement. Given the current insurgency, the state governments from where these people originated should have known that their indigenes were making this mass movement. These people if they were intelligent, none-insurgent they should have reported their movement if not for any other reason, at least for their own safety from mass mob and lynching in the hands of their potential hosts who are disillusioned by the mass murdering of people by the Muslim youths insurgency. 500 well trained insurgency is more than a battalion of irregular soldiers capable of overrunning a city of in a split second.

I am also of the view that South East policy makers must see the wisdom in maintaining within the confines of the law a regulated vigilante and militia force for minor internal security challenges within SE and for initial response to unwarranted provocations from without. I believe that a measure of force is required to maintain mutual fear and respect.

Though ironical, but peace is guaranteed by the readiness, the ability to prosecute war. In short terms Peace is the product of either war or mutual fear and or respect. Historically and contemporary, those that love peace but hate war never had peace because in a practical sense peace and war are mutually inclusive with war being superior of the two. Why, because perceived predisposition to peace neither guarantees the absence of war, nor peace, but perceived war-likeness preponderancely guarantees peace.

The history of mankind, of empires, of emperor, of, kingdoms, kings, colonialism, even of religion, is more or less the history of wars and conflicts between, people, kingdoms and or religion.

So war and not peace defines humanity better. Those who or whose ancestry had the means, the ability and the will to wedge wars not only defines the world politics but also divided the earth's bounties of land, island, waters, mountains, nations borders and sovereignty.

Cesar and his Roman empire, Hannibal and his empire, alexander the great and his empire, Peter De Great and Russia Empire, gungesta con and mongolia empire, the barbarians, the British empire, the Japanese empire, the China empire, the othman empire the beveria empire, america empire, and all poweful nations and or people in human history were powerful not because of their love and desire for peace but rather because through wars and the will to make wars they decide and define human history, human morality, power, politics, property ownership, and territory boundaries of the nation states. Like in the past, today' s powerful nations or world powers are so described, feared and respected because they possess the means, ability and will to wedge wars so as to impose their Will and define and shape world politics, morality and social order. Simply put those with means, ability and will to make wars have and will continue to control, governments,
resource, buying and selling, define and shape political, social or moral order either international or nation state so levels or both.

So it is no surprise that the Nigeria north upon which Nigeria military institutions and department, Nigeria's means to make war is varsely located determines, political, and economic order of the country. The falacy that the north is poor only but figment of imagination of those who make and believe this atrocious and false statement perhaps just to make themselves feel good. It is not by peace but by war that Othorman Dan Fodio, the found of Sokoto caliphate captured and conquered large expanse of land in the today's north and south west of nigeria
