HOW BOKO HARAM CONQUERED NIGERIA.
Boko
Haram carries out a terror attack, it has just occured, details are still very sketchy...BUT the ‘great Nigerian journalists’ swing into action immediately.
Sahara
Reporters: “BOKO HARAM STRIKES AGAIN, HUNDREDS BUTCHERED.”
Vanguard
Newspapers: “Scores feared killed in another Boko Haram attack.”
Punch
Newspapers: “Nigerian soldiers flee as Boko Haram raids town.”
The
Nation: “Anarchy in the land as Boko Haram kills 200.”
These
are the scary headlines that most Nigerian journalists will feed to their already
troubled fellow citizens’ minutes after the occurrence, without carrying out any investigations. Can you blame them? They are simply sharing information and
telling Nigerians the true situation of things, same message opposition figures
have been trying to tell the whole nation.
Next
day after the Boko Haram attacks, the Nigerian security agencies (the only
organization(s) authorized to give details on such attacks) comes forth and
briefs the nation on the latest encounter with terrorists. The security
spokesman or woman tells the world that the insurgents actually struck, killing
18 civilians, 2 soldiers and losing over 50 of their evil members.
Unfortunately,
it’s too late, Nigerians will not believe; the international media has already
culled reports from the Vanguards, Punchs’ and Sahara Reporters insisting that
the terrorists killed and maimed hundreds while the Nigerian army ran away with
their tails between their legs. Pictures of mutilated corpses, burnt out
buildings and other gory visuals are published, all in bid to convince
Nigerians of how hopeless their armed forces really are.
Meanwhile,
the terrorist leader and his lieutenants retire back to their forest den armed with
transistor radios and satellite phones monitoring the impact and spread of
their recent terror attack on ‘infidel’ Nigeria. They are satisfied, even as
their new recruits are busy burying fallen comrades in nearby bushes.
The
terrorists conclude that it is only a matter of time before they subdue their
enemies psychologically and march towards Abuja, all thanks to their ‘subconscious’
public relations officers scattered all over the country.
The
terrorist leader rejoices at the fact that Nigerians now only believe the
jihadists’ own version of events, and not what their elected ‘clueless’ leader
tells them. He thinks to himself, "Finally, ‘Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna
Lidda'awati Wal-Jihad’ has won the propaganda war; our leaders and suicide
bombers did not die in vain."
