It would be recalled that, Boko Haram fundamentalists have been terrorising the North Eastern part of Nigeria, turning the place to unsafe region with over 2 million people displaced.
Their activities have received and still receiving condemnation within Nigeria and all over the world. They maim, kill and bomb schools, residential areas, government organisations, among others.
The most popular of their act against humanity is the kidnap of the Chibok girls and massacre of Boni Yadi students cannot but be mentioned.
The present onslaught against them by Buhari-led administration is commendable as the sect is not finding it funny any longer, though many grounds are yet to be covered.
In Niger Delta, they find pleasure in sabotaging the nation by bombing pipelines and oil facilities. They also kidnap internationals, thereby denting the image of the country in the international community.
Though they always claim that crude oil is their birthright and should be having the final say as to how it is refined and proceeds realised from same.
When comparing the duo, Boko Haram can be said to be killing and maiming innocent people while Niger Delta militants finds pleasure in killing the country’s economy.
In view of this, I throw my weight behind Buhari, he should treat them like he is treating the islamic fundamentalists.
But I feel ashamed as I read some comments ascribed to some of the leaders in the region that should be talking senses into these myopic militants condemning the President for saying he will deal ruthlessly with them.
If truly we have interest in the development of our country, we should all embrace every act that we make it a better place. Nigeria must get back to its pride of place in the committee of Nations.
Deliberate act of sabotaging the nation’s should be condemned by all.
