Keep Sobowale responsible for misunderstood insecurity

Dr. deleg Sobowale has been of every reader for decades now. Its Sunday columns fill our weekends.

Sobowale writes in his style: persuasive, lucid and witty. He sculpted his niche with his style to stretch and drag himself, his readers in any direction he wants, well intended or not.

Sometimes it can be reckless and controversial. For some, this is what attracts them in its weekly offers.

It is freely delighted in questions that does not fully understand. This was the case in his last column. He ventured on unknown ground and lost control. Sobowale started mixing things from her first sentence. Borno said, perhaps he intended to say Nigeria, was under the PDP between 2011 and 2015. This described it as a ridiculously very hasty to chastise the governor Babagana Zulum unjustly on the rebirth of housing.

We want to refer to Sobowale that not only the majority of the Nigerian audience, but also the entire globe, represented by the United Nations, greeted the governor on projects and non -Kinetic approach programs to resolve the enormous humanitarian crises caused by the terrorists of Boko Haram/Iswap.

It is inconceivable as Sobowale has not been able to obtain the details of the ongoing reintegration program. First of all, it is not a state government program. It was started by the Federal Government. The state government is only a partner because most of the rehabilitation centers are located in the state of Borno.

In fact, until recently, the program was managed in the state of tires. As such, the Governor Zulum has never said that he opened the program himself, not to mention the reinstatement of the fighters surrender. We do not know where he obtained his facts, but the official position that the governor has mentioned several times is the receipt of over 300,000 members of the group. Of this number, a lot were prisoners or aware that they fled and turned to the authorities when they saw an opportunity.

Sobowale should know that no governor can unilaterally receive terrorists, manage a de-radicalization program and reintegrate them. That act is itself terrorism. In this case, these fighters arrested the Nigerian military based on the Safe Corridor operation.

Osc was launched in 2016 by the Federal Government. It was also one of the recommendations of the Boko Haram Dialogue Committee of 2013 established by President Goodluck Jonathan. It was a platform for repentant terrorists or for those who wanted to give up weapons.

They examine preliminary investigations in military structures before they are finally delivered to the state government, on behalf of the FG. Once again, they cross another profiling lap before their de-radicalization and rehabilitation programs are prescribed.

Many of these people were associated only with terrorist groups. Therefore, they require different programs and approaches. There is a case of young people and women recruited forcefully; Who, even when he has been armed and deployed to fight, did it more under coercion of ideology. Others have been recruited such as chefs, boys commissions and humble workers. They also share ideology or believe.

Some of them were seized by their communities and raised in forced marriages. From these forced marriages, many have given birth. These boys and girls are now aged between five and 14 years, growing up to join the ranks of their fathers, if not saved. These unsuspecting children must be saved for their good and the country. They are victims.

The profiling process separates between fighters and non -fighters. Most of the latter do not require de-radicalization, they are only traumatized.

They need psychological therapy and support. Somewhere in his piece, Sobowale alluded that the governor made the reintegration unilaterally; And even worse, without any knowledge or research on safety. Unfortunately, he failed his test. In addition to mixing basic facts, he was unable to carry out any research or investigation on the subject on whom he wrote. If he had done it, he would have come across the Borno model, the manual elaborate used for the de-radicalization, rehabilitation and reintegration program.

It is disturbing that Sobowale, despite decades of exposure, think that the government is simply a business of a man. Suppose that, as a professor of engineering, Governor Zulum is not qualified to make political decisions on security is truly superficial. Being logic, why should it be allowed to create one healthy, since he is not a doctor?

The total ignorance of Sobowale of the true nature of things extends beyond Boko Haram. He does not even have an elementary understanding of the demography he was talking about. For him, it was ridiculous that the governor asked for prayers and a fasting fast.

He said, given the level of hunger in the country, the call was an attempt to cause huge deaths in the state. In this case, it is a wonder that Sobowale has not yet launched a campaign or a protest against the fasting of the 30 -day Ramadan and 40 days of Lent every year.

Through faith, people listened to the governor’s call. Some of these demographic shades are obviously beyond the understanding of Sobowale. And it is a pity that this undermines his judgment on the basic things.

Therefore, the Vanguard column last Sunday should have analyzed “keeping Sobowale responsible” for having worsened the misunderstanding of its readers on the real state of insecurity in Borno, which is equivalent to being misleading for the complexities of their dear country, instead of retaining the zulum “for the renovation” for the renovation of the insurgent in Borno, which is in contrast with its demanding management Management of the terror classings of the terror management of the terror management of the terror classement of the Terrams TerraMere.
