Who is incharge of Bama: A microcosm of our dilemma - Gumi

Bama women, children ‘dying’ of hunger as Boko Haram tightens grip on town

Who is incharge of Bama? Nobody can reliably say. It's 'charge and run' for Boko Haram and the Nigerian army but this means Bokoo Haram has gained considerable confidence and may have finally dislodged Sambisa forest.

This is happening when our politicians are busy with empty maneuvers to win elections. This is happening when unscrupulous individuals and fake organizational leaders are endorsing failure after failure. While others have overnight turned into praise singers.

Northern politicians are the most pitiable. The latest I heard they are scrambling for the VP position in their wildest dream. A VP is a spare tyre and what they don't comprehend is that in Nigeria it's a taboo for a deputy to be a heir to the throne. It's just one step as it appears but a giant one for that matter. Someone at the bottom of the ladder may reach it easily while you remain swinging aspiring for a soft landing.
