by the northern elite, for fear of being
attacked by the Boko Haram extremists,
should not jolt anybody. The Boko Haram
burning fire from the mountain top was noticed
long time ago by many Nigerians both at home
and abroad during the early stage of this present
government and was echoed to all who cared to
listen in the northern region, especially for those
at the helm of affairs there to do something to
douse the ravaging fire to no avail. Now, the elite
are feeling the heat of the Boko Haram burning
fire and are avoiding public mosques of worship
for fear of being attacked. The question now is,
for how long are they going to hide? The
solution is that they must not run away from
their subjects! All hope is not lost to see that
things return to normalcy in the north. The
Northern leaders must as a matter of urgency,
engage in massive enlightenment programme to
the Boko Haram insurgents that their burning
fire is consuming the entire north and Nigeria as
a whole. Secondly, they should ask them what
they really want, because they were targeting
churches before. The insurgents do not live in
the sky; the northern elite know them. This is
the appropriate time for them to enter into
dialogue with the sect. Running away from the
sect will not solve their present predicament!
Will this cat and mouse game continue between
the elite and Boko Haram over there? Only time
will tell.
