Those are the ones on the daily independent this morning Good morning to you once more mr. Kola Wally Thanks for having me my sister. Oh, it's been, you know a very interesting reach through this paper Seeing all the insecurity trends from Ninjas take the abduction of 200 students to the attack on the Niger immigration service office The killing of Ahmad Gulak lots and lots of stories here. Where do we begin? Honest, let's became I will want to say that You put yourself in the position of a fallen up visiting Nigeria at this time or today Another the opportunity to go through our newspapers What impression would you have with all the headlines with all the stories that we have in the papers This morning. It is that of gloom Despotency and a nation that is in very very deep crisis in fact a nation that is at the precipice of Distigration and That becomes highly very awesome All the stories there is only any one that one would not like to comment on Well, since we have time limitation, I would just summarize some of these things. I start with the Fire incident at Latif was be a part market. That's it's a tragedy or very very great proportion That's not all it shouldn't have happened Generally, we should have a dedicated fire service station in that market When a market as big as I get on It is your national asset your GDP and your resources that has gone up in flames and if you look at The exchange rate today are most of the commodities that you find in that market are imported You could imagine the multiplier effect and the losses that those traders Would have been killed All these things are things that can be that we could have envisaged and taking precautions against And then look at the Niger state take a kidnapping of 200 students How do you move 200 students from one point to the other? You will need several vehicles to be able to move them the governor of Niger state has also been raising Alarm that it would have to add that they swap and then the bookworm have relocated to Niger state And that they might begin from just at the actions in those places the American army have also raised an alarm that the bookworm are moving south south and southward and southward and It is not impossible that very soon a lot of violence will begin to take place in those places Since we got all these alarms from these two defense sources, what efforts have we made to nip them in the board? I have said it as without number. There's no justification Why any child should go to school and get kidnapped? By now we should have been able to develop a kind of security program to protect our students when they are in schools As bad as it is in Afghanistan the Parent Association the teachers and the government were able to evolve a blueprint With which to secure students when they are in school so that the Taliban who say that guess will not go to school We're prevented from first taking us from going to school. So miss that call Is that still talking about protecting students in schools? I mean we saw one of the papers that workers in universities are now saying they want to have access to licensed guns So they can protect themselves. What are your comments on that? No, that was in the situation. It was in the situation as a today Go and do your research there is a any of those so-called hoodlums or Twilight people or cold boys who don't have shotguns With them or who don't have very dangerous objects or knives and all that And most of these so-called university teachers and students who are also saying they want them most of them already have By the time you now license all our everybody to carry come the situation will degenerate further If I what you might be inviting is the kind of situation that we have in America And with somebody won't crazy person will just pick his come go to a public place and start marrying people down Because we really don't have the wherewithal to monitor those who are likely to consult with chief The CCTV cameras are not there on the street to monitor people movement and have been criminal We also don't have data as regards those who have the potential to commit a mass killing so and a nation should Take a decision as regard the direction which they want to develop. I don't think we should grow I mean line with the way and manner and with the American people do things in which everybody Cali can with the fact that everybody's license to Cali can America as that society become safe Is this a better than any of these sweetest country all like a country like Britain? In fact, it is likely to lead to anarchy. It shouldn't be encouraged At all all right with regards to the ponies and the killings in the southeast and then the killing of gulag my Take as always been better They are put at the Nigerian government. They are put at the Nigerian army. I've adopted in containing The challenges in the southeast We're not even The kind of result that they thought it would use for example, we never see them reacting this kind of very proactive or active manner in the handling of the book warram in so Jensen and You are seeing what they've done going to villages and twin bomb on people killing people Suspected I pop members who are on their beds and what have you what we require to do in the southeast is a dialogue Let's go to the round table. Let's know what the grievances of the people are and let us address it Others have also advocated the problem will require to do a referendum And then whatever comes out the referendum should be what this nation should adopt Appeal to mr. President to Raining this chaos and anarchy does not will not work If he had the the wherewithal if he had the capacity to do it all these 10 years that we have been in this crisis He probably would have a use some of those strategies So to to curtail the insurgency and the banditry and the kill that we have in the different parts of the country You will also recollect that I have also argued that if you change the service chiefs More than a hundred times. You're never likely to have respite With regards to security challenges all over the country He's a far deeper the rota far deeper the chaos is far deeper that you need to think out of We miss people who are the vision and you can think out of their cups or Bring in some things that's out there into the table to be able to Miss I call out a I want I want you to speak a little bit more on the Killing of Ahmed Gulak the police, you know claimed to have Found the killers and they were killed over the weekend I mean a shootout with the Nigerian police force There's also insinuations that they are members of the ESN or IPOB. How do you react to that? Well several times the Nigerian police have made claims The Nigerian army have also made claim that the kill check how they arrested this person One time or the other if you have also been participating in some of the press conferences and Display of suspect that the Nigerian police you are led to You will be very careful Accepting or in believing in what the police for example will say they will go into the Amur and some of the Weapons they have seen in the past. They were in them and then bring in some suspects in front of the camera And say this are the people that they have arrested and Nora if it is true that you have their plan They all you saw those two kill the meds will act the strategy will not be To just going out there and then an illiterate or kill the sickle It will be as much as possible to get them apprehended so that you can investigate the root cause why Is it that they are taking the decision or who send them to kill Ahmed Gholak? So the strategy of the Nigerian army and the police for me will not You quite will not allow to get to the root of some of these challenges. We need to be more proactive. You need to think out of the Extraordinary thinking at a period like this. I seriously suspect that We still haven't had a laugh with regards to the killing of Ahmed Gholak in the south East And they also look at the papers Every day now on a daily basis The young people over Nigeria being apprehended been arrested for track to them for drug trafficking and the Among us a month of drug that the traffic now and not just In grams it is in kilograms. Yes. This is a reflection or this is a manifestation That the young people also becoming more and more desperate to either become rich or to get out of the poverty that they have found themselves If you also relate that with what was puppy is been saying in prison That they took to the path of crime because of poverty and that it was a team politicians that benefited from him And that he is surprised at those politicians who would not really visit to buy to open up with him and only at Being given special treatment. I've never come to his assistant What I'm trying out of this is that look some of these challenges is born out of your stentations living That we have found our politicians and leave and your Meritor's allies and allowances that they have been given to them. So these are money that you go into creating jobs So as to keep the children that they will be able to find some jobs for them to be able to leave Also, look at the songs that our musicians Do these days you hear them sing openly Can shut the logo all that is important is for me to get rich I don't care whether it is blood money or whether it is your we have money or whether it is a ritual money Or whether it comes through some other Mr. Callowaly Yes, indeed this issue of drug trafficking is a serious one. We need to win. It's a fight and another serious issue we've seen in the papers today is a Statement from the Lagos state government saying 119 passengers from high-risk countries have refused isolation Really when we won't compare this to other parts of the world We know that when they go to places at the UK, they will force to be in isolation Or they will be fine to be confined to the hotel rooms or in isolation centers across those countries But why do you think when it comes to you know when those people come to Nigeria they disobey our Laws flout our rules and you know, just do whatever they like Well, ordinarily all over the world when you look the average man does not like to respect or to be lost He has to be compared to do it. You need a high level of understanding a level of civility They are level of civic commitment to have respect for law and order So when people have the opportunity to get away from the long arms of the law They will ordinarily may do it. What are the skills? What has happened with these visitors? Well with this case who came into Nigeria who have escape should be blame on the security If we have adequate security at the airport or in the seaport or the Motor parts are not as soon as these people land in the country and not The thing you do is to learn them put them on queue put a tag on them and then the security people will pilot them So wherever they have to do their Quarantine my cousin who visited Nigeria from pretty a few weeks ago or not Immediately not a little airport or not You will not believe it that two policemen followed him right from the airport to his house to know where he's staying Immediately they were able to ascertain where he's staying and then they asked him to show them We all intend to do is quarantine They were coming to his house periodically almost every three days to make sure that he comply with the quarantine order that the British Law of a government has put in place do we have that kind of a facility here as soon as you land in the airport the seaport and order all that the security people are Consonway is that they will stop money from you and they will get gift from you How you would give them even the the necklace you are wearing all the reasons you are wearing all the sneakers the beautiful Snickers that you have put it is what you have brought into the country for them that they were asking for So these are the reasons why some of these lapses happen the security people should be a couple people and punish adequately for it completely agree Mr. Tunecola will a let's also quickly speak about the The bandits demanding 180 million for George that was kidnapped and others You know earlier. I was speaking about you know what we must do in if we are serious about ending this You know kidnappings that happen so often now in Nigeria Do you see that there might be any answers to these questions anytime soon? No, I don't think so Hey When you find judge is being kidnapped in the courtroom and you have a PSS official being kidnapped You have policemen being kidnapped you have soldiers been kidnapped and even killed and all that What it means is that anarchy are set in the country and if you are going to contain anarchy you need the extraordinary A measure for example the courtroom is supposed to be a secure place and I want to have not a legals APC person but I want to place the legal state people most of the cause are to go to in legal state today another There are a well armed security man who don't disturb anybody but to sit or Take position in very very auspicious places to contain whatever Breakdown of law another Anybody might want to back up on when you go to some of these other states of the You don't find that kind of an arrangement in place And it is not that the police alone that should the practice in some of this is not impossible that If you give judge of legal day that requested for that kind of security cover for all the cops in legal Most of the kidnapping that we also seen the northern parts of the country What measures have we seen the governor put in place to make sure that this thing does not continue to repeat? All right. Thank you very much. We had a time. Thanks for starting up our Monday for with us We wish you a great week ahead. We always enjoy your thoughts on these issues.
