Omo! You fit just dey ginger for corner as dem dey yarn wetin dey happen for Naija now. E be like say every time we turn around, wahala dey show face for our security matter. Na wetin Prof Chidi Odinkalu don talk, him don open our eye say our foreign policy nah major wahala wey dey affect our security.
During one interview wey happen for The Toyin Falola Sessions, Odinkalu yan say na because of foreign policy wahala and the way wey our regional alliances don scatter, na im make Nigerian security matter dey go down the drain. Abeg, wetin we go expect? For instance, wetin we do after Niger Republic take do military coup? No be wahala? He talk say na dat military coup bring serious gbege for we side.
See ehn, ECOWAS na the main deal wey we hold to protect ourselves from all the wahala wey dey come from Sahel area. Odinkalu no gree joke about am; him talk say President Bola Tinubu, no suppose dey talk wetin no dey make sense, like say he go send military come invade Niger. Na wetin?! We no get strong army wey fit do dat kind thing o! Na so Nigeria call be like olodo wey no sabi wetin e dey do.
He still yan say Niger don vex, waka come out from ECOWAS, and e carry Mali and Burkina Faso follow join am. All dis people na our neighbours we suppose dey rely on to contain the wahala wey dey come from Sahel. Now, look wetin don happen to the north-west; e don scatter, and we no see any plan to fix am. Na so we dey watch our country dey collapse!
Odinkalu no dey shy to call out the elite for their insensitivity because dem dey party while people dey die for Kwara State. Him talk say, how you go dey celebrate while people dey mourn? If 300 people don die, wetin una suppose dey do? Na shame! Hands no dey for those wey dey run this country, because dem dey live for their own world.

Markets don dey shut down, schools dey close down. She dey observe say every morning we dey wake up to tragedy. Wetin we go do? We try to discuss who do wetin but lives don dey lost.
As e be now, 2026 don land but wetin we go see? Na only tragedy, killings and abduction we dey experience. Nothing don change. For dis kind matter, we dey need serious plan, not just this kind wahala wey dey happen.
Dr Osmund Agbo, na correct specialist wey dey handle health matter, talk say the way security dey spoil fit affect how our healthcare dey suffer. Wetin we go do if people dey die from wetin no even suppose kill dem? Na the way we take run our governance fit land us for dis kind gbege. We dey sit down for keg wey fit burst any time.
Finally, the Special Adviser to the President on Economic Affairs, Dr Tope Fasua, dey talk say dem focus on reforms, but e no go fit change the wahala for security matter. Even if dem bring economic progress, if we dey face security wahala, wetin go happen?
