Home of Peace and Tourism. That is the nickname of Plateau State in North Central Nigeria. A state that used to pride itself with providing exotic vibes to residents and visitors, has been grossly violated by terrorists time and time again. Peace in Plateau has become an old wives tale. The government whose primary responsibility to its citizens is to protect them, is rehabilitating criminals and releasing them into the society to commit more crimes. Kidnapping is at an all time high. Arson is at an all time high. Genocide is at an all time high. Even children and women are not spared. The street is filled with the blood of its own people while the elected officials are standing on a political mandate to reclaim office in 2027. I’ve not seen this level of tone deafness in my entire life. The country is burning but the leaders are partying. In some countries, the country would be burning and politicians would be fleeing the country as citizens shut down and burn the country. When is enough going to be enough. Our death toll is reading war time numbers when we are in ‘peace’ time. Cost of living is already taking the lives of the living. Standard of living is at an all time low. HDI is embarrassing low. We are living like rats in 2026, running helter skelter for food and water while hoping not to be shot in the process. Speaking in Nairobi in 2006, Barack Obama told the students of the University of Nairobi that, “if the people cannot trust the government to do the job for which it exists - to protect them and to promote their common welfare - all else is lost, and that is why the fight against corruption is one of the biggest fights of our time.” Nigerians, all else is lost. We are the horror story people in Cairo and Lusaka wake up to read about in the dailies. We need to wake up. Pleateau is bleeding and it is only a matter of time, the entire country is drained of blood.
