Gbetu TV (News They Are Not Talking About)
After watching the BBC Documentary on Banditry, I again confirmed a number of things. Let me share 3 of them.
“The government is not sincere”
“The government don’t value Fulani people”
“This thing that happened to us is planned”
“We want to show government they are wrong”
“Why did this not happen to Hausa? Why always Fulani?”
“The economy is bad, what do you expect?”
One even said “government is benefiting from the insecurity”
The bandits are speaking like the average Nigerian.
I have told you before that I heard a conversation between people who wanted to forge receipts to claim money from government. With my contenance in the meeting, the Oga noticed I was not with them so he went “if you don’t do this now the government will still jail you and say you are corrupt”. Think of this imbecility mistaken for logic for a second.
I am not just saying this, they said so. One even said that he is sorry is what he can say to his victims but his intention was to embarrass the government. And I am not even paraphrasing.
When asked what he did with 60 million Naira ransom, he said he used it to get more weapons. Why? He is not interested in cars or houses. He is interested in making the government look bad. He is practically telling you his game and you are playing along, motivating him to do more. One of them said their own protest against bad governance can only be done with a gun. How we don’t get this is alarming.
I mean here is a President who is Fulani. His personality, administration and life’s legacy is being ridiculed and destroyed purposely by groups of bandit that happen to be from his tribe for the most part. And people still find a way to say he supports them.
My take is no matter how you consider your President weak and incompetent, if a group of people say openly that they are targeting Nigerians to fight him, you stand by your country and by your leader to defeat these folks even if you don’t like the leader.
One of the bandits was asked boldly “what kind of a person goes into a school and kidnap innocent girls because he has problem with someone else?” and he replied “…I can only say to them that we are sorry. But we feel no guilt. All we want is to inflict disgrace on the government”
And guess what, you are their tool in this mission.
So what should we do? Keep mute? No.
And if you think these don’t work ask yourself why soldiers all over the world sing morale boosting songs to encourage themselves.
There is a lot we can do productively to ensure these terrorists don’t use us to further their cause. Doing the opposite just to make a political point will not lead us anywhere.
