The chicken has come home to roast. We can vouch that the end to Boko Haram insurgency is close at hand.
In this country pot holes are not covered until a top politician dies in an auto crash in or around them.
In this country nobody cares how luxury operators kill our brothers in numbers, but once there is a plane crash licenses will be revoked and probe panels set up.
Kidnapping was thought to be the problems of the expatriates and 'other' people till the mother of Finance minister was kidnapped. Soldiers were drafted in and she was rescued promptly, whether ransom was paid or not is not relevant here.
Oluwole market was bubbling until a son of a notable Naval officer was duped and the citadel of forgery and counterfeit was reduced to a rubble.
In this country, a thief is never apprehended until a police inspector is a victim in a robbery shoot out.
Where I am going with this is very clear and let me be fast before i drift off coast.
The recent attack on the revered Emir of Kano, Ado Bayero which many have attributed to the dreaded Boko Haram, though unfortunate is a welcome development. Boko Haram will end soon.
Just like i wrote after the bomb explosion in Ikeja cantonment some years back, we are now feeling the Afghan bomb at our back yard.
The innocent limbs of our christian, muslim and pagan friends are crying for the heads of the great.
When we fail to stop a tiny bubbling water, it has now led to its total extinguishing of the fire.
The rich who has been avoiding the churches, the markets and the mosques can not avoid to travel on the same road we all go.
The enemy you avoided at home will meet you on the road.
The attack on the Emir has brought to fore the total insecurity in the country which is now defying the long chain of police escorts that is usually the prerogative of the rich.
This is just the beginning, who knows who the next target will be - maybe Jonathan.
I pray our case will not be worse than Somali, Mali or Afghanistan.
