But its genesis only gave the enemy enough self-confidence and validation to continue the mission.<\/p>\n<p>There is power that stems from worldwide recognition and the leader of the pack \u2013 <strong>Abubakar Shekau<\/strong> has been enjoying his time in the spotlight, while taking advantage of Nigeria&#8217;s longstanding cavalier attitude when it comes to the welfare of citizens. This is a leader who thrives off of being able to decide who lives and who perishes and the best part is that he doesn\u2019t have the threat of intervention.<\/p>\n<p>Nigerians have adjusted and accepted the inevitable. This is a new phase and no leader \u2013 past or present will be able to refute the evidence that is currently stacking up. A masochistic society that pledges to abide by no rules and allows the unfathomable to rule supreme \u2013 it is hard to internalize the shock value of those who are not privy to the playbook that has situated Nigeria for all of it\u2019s existence.<\/p>\n<p>The embattled nation doesn\u2019t need to be fawned over or treated like a kettle that is boiling without supervision. The contents will spill over as always and those who get burned will be evacuated dishonorably and those who escaped unscathed will most likely suffer the same fate.<\/p>\n<p>Media attention and literary fodder unfolded to analyze the case will only heighten the appeal for militants who have already garnered enough attention to last a lifetime. The donors who have given<strong> Boko Haram<\/strong> the license to vengefully eradicate the helpless masses are motivated by the idea of being associated with a group that has the potential to command the facets that dictate the blueprint of our existence.<\/p>\n<p>Those who lament the lack of coverage of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-africa-30826582\">Baga attacks <\/a>are still clinging to the ideal that shining the spotlight will bring forth a shift in behavior.<\/p>\n<p>In this instance \u2013 giving boys who indulge in the pride that comes with vanquishing a whole population only enhances their credibility by dictating future conquests.<\/p>\n<p>The less attention is levied on these ceaseless militants \u2013 the better, as the consequential relapse will be a challenge to estimate.<\/p>\n<p>The outrage that stems from a lack of recognition is the antidote needed to counteract the effects of mayhem at the hands of armed bullies who have already littered the map with their documented exploits.<\/p>\n<p>This is Nigeria\u2019s problem and needs to remain that way \u2013 even if those in power cower in defeat. It is the only option and even though it is costing lives \u2013 so many more are in queue but the reality of a nationwide catastrophe will be minimized with limited coverage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<!-- google_ad_section_end -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest attacks carried out by Nigerian Islamists &#8211; Boko Haram was a horrifying illustration of what happens when renegades [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[209,1],"tags":[2060,1752],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.3 -
