Senate’s stolen Mace, Evidence of Insecurity in Nigeria

mace


The Nigerian Police has recovered the Senate’s stolen Mace at a flyover before the Abuja City Gate, where according to ASP Aremu Adeniran, Deputy Force Public Relations Officer Force Headquarters a patriotic passer-by saw it and alerted the Police.
Yesterday thus stormed the Senate wing of the national Assembly and stole the Mace. This however did not stop the Session as a supplementary or backup Mace was brought out as plenary continued. Senator Ovie Omo Agege (APC Delta State) was arrested and released by the Nigeria Police over the Mace theft. He denies any involvement in the incident.
This incident has raised and revealed many questions about insecurity in the country. How the Hoodlums bypass all security checks to gain assess to Senate chambers. Lets imagine for a second these guys (thugs) dare devils assassins, more than a dozen lawmakers would have been dead. If asses to National Assembly is that easy, imagine how expose an ordinary Nigerian is. No surprise Fulani herdsmen can move into any community and slaughter humans with all amount recklessness and barbarism.
No wonder my lecturer S.P.I Agi will always say "Am a one Man Country, because i generate my own electricity, i generate my own water, i provide security for myself and healthcare services". Go around and you will prove him right. 99% of the population uses generator as means of electricity because since 1960 we have not been able to generate up to 10,000 megawatts to provide stable electricity for all Nigerians, what a shame! many Nigerians depends on personal boreholes for water, many still carry jericans kilometers away from their houses just to get water. In rural areas many drink from unhygienic wells or streams. Government hospitals are dead zones. Many communities have formed vigilante groups to protect themselves because the security institutions are a failure and cannot be relied upon. Government Schools are mere certificate awarding institutions. The Chibok Girls Kidnap, the Dpchi girls kidnap, Herdsmen barbaric activities, bank robberies in the middle the cities (broad day light) and most recently the stealing of the Senate Mace by unarmed thugs are all evidence of insecurity in the Nation and failure to provide basic amenities to the citizenry by the ruling elites even with the enormous resources and money channeled to various ministries. 
We has as citizens of Nigeria must come together bearing in mine every injustice, corruption and what we can achieve as a people for ourselves and generation unborn. It is our right and responsibility to protect our resources both natural and human. The politicians have shown time and time again they can't do it. Or Maybe we can't do it by ourselves, Maybe We Need a Man Like Putin.
