Opinion: Nigeria: Tearing At the Seams, By Jibrin Ibrahim
While Nigeria is tearing at the seams, security agents this week focused their attention on arresting members of the Omoyele Sowore-led Revolution Now Movement, who trooped out to protest the current hardships in the country. Sowore has a voice but he has no arms and he is not inducing violence in the country. His members who came out to protest were simply articulating the concerns of Nigerians on excessive poverty, corruption and injustice.
The climate of fear in Nigeria today is palpable. We are afraid of being kidnapped in our houses and we are terrified of being on the roads. The core of our fear today is that we know not who is a friend or a foe. We are afraid of the insurgents, of the security forces, of the Civilian JTF and the vigilante groups that we ourselves set up. We live in fear because the state has failed to provide for our security and welfare.
