Those who know know this is a fund drive. The implications are heavy. When you think of the fact that it takes 5 states to fund Amotekun.. then you will imagine how many billions will be diverted away from investment in recreation and civil construction in SE. 300 yrs before Jesus , a Chinese war philosopher warned about the danger of halting an army on its way home. In 4 states of SE a distinction had been drawn between civil agitation and armed conflict. Mainly because of overall security implications. Even the arrow head of agitation , IPOB keyed in. In it’s new year address., it asked billionaires to help the less privileged in SE.This is a significant departure from the past. The herdsmen were banned from state capitals like Owerri . Traditional vigilantes were taking over the community security through networking of information. Monarchs became weary of business relationships with herdsmen . ESN was on its way home. Four categories of Nigerians are indirectly behind the obvious rearmament of ESN. The recent one being a 70 years old maritime militant from Ijaw land.. killer herdsmen operating in SW.. Political herdsmen from SW.. who can only bond with SE at the cost of fraternal conflict and an assumed common enemy.Lastly Anambra state governor and members of the state assembly.The last group watched as a minor structural remodelling of a market became a freedom call for MNK.Abia had provided a solution.. build new business places.. preferably malls/plazas.. move people in with long term finance. Demolish the old structures and do this in phases. Ego ruled in Anambra. To the point of self deceit.. from spending tons of cash on popular media outlets to creating AI figures. Last weekend witnessed interstate AI wars with no hard evidence of gun powder.
Now the scarce dollars headed towards SE will branch to be spent on guns.BA
