The reasons why insecurity still persists in Nigeria

[DYOR+BTC]

There is nothing but one thing responsible for the uncontrollable insecurity in Nigeria which i won't stop mentioning at all time and it is corrupt leaders, the leaders in Nigeria eat, swim and finds pleasure in corrupt practices if not the insecurity in Nigeria today would have been controlled the same way other countries have done there’s.
In Nigeria today bandits operates legally up to the extent they post and even do giveaway on social media yet the Nigerian government can't do anything about it but if an innocent citizens criticise the current administration,  immediately the person will be tracked down to show they have all it takes to find out even where the bandits are but can't do it because of bad leadership.

This is why solution has not or insecurity has not be solved totally.

I think the reason why terrorism wouldn't end especially in the north is because both the federal government and the Northern states governors are complicit in terrorism. The northern state governors are pretending as if they don't have hands in what is going on in the North, if your begin asking questions about how these terrorists are getting their weapons, you will agree with me that they are been sponsored by the governments.  The kind of weapons these terrorists used for operations are military grade and some of our military officers have not used such weapons before. so the questions is, how did they lay hands on this weapons? Another interesting facts why terrorists is conquering the north is because they have senior brothers in government because out of the current 19 governors in the north, 10 are core fulanis by tribe. I think this fulanis governors are backing bandits to conquer the north. The only solutions for Nigerians is to defend themselves and stop waiting for the government.

This is the sad truth, everyone from the federal government and state government in the north are fending ignorance of the insecurity in the north and they are all involved and also know those behind several attacks that has been carried out so far in the country but because they are part of it they have decided to be mute and not make moves to end the insecurity, now tell me who provides the heavy ammunitions used by this Bandits if not the politicians, there are people that benefits from insecurity in the country and they won't want it to stop that's why it persist.

For how long are we going to result to self defense when the government that was supposed to protect the lives and property of the citizens are busy doing nothing to end terrorism in the country, Nigeria government has failed us woefully and we are not safe anymore, where do we go from here?, may God help us as a people.

There are foreign sponsors today security challenges in Nigeria and until the government stop killing of this terrorist and go after their sponsors, things may not be finally solved because there is definitely an international backup to this war they are facing, it is more obvious that the government have begin to see some element of Truth showing for a involvement in this insurgency and that is why those sponsors must first be apprehended and all their network be broken before everything leading to their supplies could be defeated and there won't be more terrorist invading the country once there is no supplier and sponsors.

We shared the thoughts of those that were affected from the very beginning of banditry in the country but there was nothing we could do at that time to stop it or for it not to worsen to the point it has gotten now, because they have sponsors in and out of Nigeria and they are well equipped with sophisticated weapons, standing up against banditry at that time, we would had walked into our early graves as we lack what it takes to match their strength. Don't blame the situation of the country on the citizens, blame the government because they have what it takes to put an end to banditry.

Excluding the existence of Nigeria leadership bodies in support of there actions, eradicating insecurity in Nigeria would have been the easiest thing for Nigerian soldiers know matter the kind of sophisticated weaponspresent with them. In Nigeria today bandits are the most respected people,  not because of any other reason but just because they are receiving support from the top leaders of Nigeria and all this are done because of what this corrupt leaders stand to gain in the country especially the resources all are meant to be benefiting but because of greed they choose to sacrifice the lifes of innocent citizens to become more powerful and wealthy.

Which is so sad, because bandits are not meant to be respected, honored or even among innocent people since they don’t value human life. But the government has made them part of us and even go as far as calling them our brothers, negotiating with them, giving them more egos and right to operate freely among us without them being prosecuted.
If the government can start addressing the root cause of insecurity, enforcing the law on this bandits, ensuring security by protecting communities, valuing the life’s of the citizens and also strengthening the justice system, I believe the level of insecurity will reduce.

The insecurities in Nigeria is really getting out of hand, at first it was just something that didn't happen as often as what we're seeing now, you wake up to one story or the other and people are now living in fear. I wouldn't say that Nigerians are not really speaking up concerning this insecurity, most youth and some public figures are really speaking up and using their platform to do everything they can to make sure that everything is fine, but most times it seems that there efforts isn't showing at all Reason being that the government is not even helping at all.

Personally for me I think the government are the problem here, and I believe that once they decide to look deeply into this insecurities happening in different States without being selfish, all they think about is how to gain more power and the elections coming forth, I believe that this bandit's have higher powers that are sponsoring them, most times I see things on social media, whether it is true or not of how they're being sponsored by some politicians and some top people.

There's nothing the youths or anybody can do, this issue is something that the government can handle but their selfishness won't allow them to do so, people are really sympathetic and feeling for those affected, and I believe if they have all that it takes to make sure this bad guys are being wiped out, they will..

The foreign sponsors do not operate in isolation, they have agents who they work with inside as their insiders. This is what is destroying out country today and we no longer have a hold of our internal security any longer. Homeland security is something many countries do not joke with as it is what empowers the connectivity between the foreign sponsors and the local enablers of these insecurity and crimes as they widen such security gap with the information they feed the foreign sponsors and the monetary gains they have sustaining such crimes.
