GOVERNMENT EKPEMUPOLO TOMPOLO, a former militant. If a present one, I have no idea. Standing beside Governors and Presidents. Overseeing contracts. Maybe, just maybe, if everyone bears arms, they would stand beside Governors and Presidents.
Go to school they say.
Give me guns I think.
Boko Haram standing beside Governors and Presidents.
Fulani Heardsmen Standing.
Yahoo boys without guns aren't standing yet, if they add guns,they too will stand and if they stand well, that's all she wrote.
Militancy, Bandits, Boko Haram, Yahoo and all other vices are not just a reflection of the government's failures but the degradation of our collective moral standards as a people.
People make decisions, not governments.
Granting amnesty to a particular set of individuals while simultaneously enriching them and abandoning the whole region to continue suffering the same neglect before the militant uprising is nothing but an evil precedent upon which subsequent agitations have thrived.
Are we still expecting any good from Nigeria with these precedents?
I speak for intelligent folks only, not the others so, whatever you think is your cappuccino!
I'm pointing at a pattern: when a society repeatedly rewards violence, impunity, and extralegal power, it quietly teaches the next generation that legitimacy comes from force, not from merit, education, or civic responsibility. That’s a structural problem, but also a moral one.
Sociologists often describe this as incentive distortion:
1. If peaceful citizens see that violence leads to contracts, proximity to power, or political leverage,
2. While education, discipline, and lawful conduct lead to neglect or stagnation,
3. The society quietly shifts from a rule‑based order to a force‑based order.
In such an environment, the question isn’t “Why are there bandits ?”
The question becomes “Why wouldn’t there be?”
Be scared!
Be a puppet!
Be afraid!
For Kariyai, right is right and wrong is wrong.
