Health is an important factor of life. The importance of good health cannot be overemphasized because it is paramount to everyone.
lnfact, that is why much effort and detailed emphasis are usually placed on its overall maintenance. This writer was one of the numerous guest at a health meeting where after introduction, we were all engaged in physical exercise which exposed many failings among everyone as we sweater like golden fish. After all, the health message that informed and inspired this write-up .
Like a building that had been exposed to several atmospheric elememts, the next step is to renovate the dilapidated building. No wonder people with health issues always go insearch of medical practitioners to check, diagnose and provide correct medicatiom for the ailment. Interestingly, the same situation can apply to a nation like Nigeria whose ailment had persisted since its creation and many think it could as a result of complications during its birth at independence. When the child Nigeria was born, the parents overlooked some necessary details that would help in its growth as a complete human being or country. As the baby called Nigeria continue to develope with years just like a malnorished baby deficient of every necessary ingridience would eventually suffer from kwshiokwor, so is a mis-governed country deprived of basic infrastructures and devoid of other democratic developmental gains.
Just as the sick baby is being attacked by anti body elements, so is the country Nigeria severally attacked economically, socially, educationally and insecurity with corruption of its leaders have further worsened the situation .
The parasites of insecurity like Boko Haram, Bandits, lPOB, Niger Delta militants, regional agitators have further exacerbate the situation. While the government is acquiring sophisticated aircrafts for the military and Qirforce, to fight terrorists, so is the Police rejigging their strategies with a view to once again be on top of the internal insecurity around the country as they embark on a three days security retreat in Owerri, the capital of lmo state.
Truly, the country at the age of sixty four still has many ailments to cure. Some are self inflicted while others are generational what in medical terms is DNA. Historians believe that our foreign masters may have injected us with some manipulative doctrine which makes us prefer everything foreign, educationally, socially, medically and lately we have coined a word for it for convenience sake.
It is “ Japaism”. Unfortunately, the National orientation commission is like a sleeping watchdog that has totally forgotten its national mandate. With the recent promise of President Bola Tinubu after the supreme court ruling, promising to take governance more seriously since there is no more political distractions .
It is therefore assumed that all hands would be on desk to contribute their individual quota to ensure the good health of the country. It is an undisputable known fact that insecurity brings to a halt governance and social activities in any country. Same with internal medicine ill-health in man.
It completely disrupts every functions of the human organs. It is therefore necessary for the federal government to resolve unequivocally on how to stop the spate of insecurity that is still going on in some parts of the country.
The government should stop the proliferation of illegal firearms around the country and announce a week or more as amnesty period for everyone in pocession of illegal firearms to either surrender them to any security agency office without any penalty or a special telephone number be announced on electronic and social media.
Such handover process should be televised to send message of trust to those still in doubt but are still in possession of illegal firearms.
As we step into Ember months, both the government at all levels should ensure that the yelutide season is devoid of any insecurity activities. One cannot start begging the issue that maybe the government may not be buoyant enough to provide the necessary needs of the police which is constitutionally mandated to protect the lives and property of every Nigerian.
However, should the government decline to provide needed equipments for the police, then the recent purchase of N160bn SUVs: Reps take delivery, would be used as evidence. Analysing the security implication of these SUVs to the already shaky security around the country. In a country where over ten million able unemployed youths roam around the highways.
A country where kidnapping is going on on a daily basis. A country where 90 percent of the roads are bad and not motorable, is it in these listed situations that a legislator would want to expose himself chauffeur driven of course with more police escorts, principally because his car is outstanding on the roads. What this means is that more police escorts that ought to protect the ordinary Nigerian would now be drafted to protect the legislators.
