The news of the capture and summary execution of Brigadier General M. Uba by ISWAP really broke my mind. Back to where we stopped.
If terr0rists can move freely like this, what is "sovereign" about Nigeria? Some people were shouting "Nigeria is a sovereign nation. We don't need America! We don't need anyone!"
But let us tell ourselves the truth. What kind of sovereignty allows t£rror!sts to capture and k!ll a whole General like a common recruit?
Because if terr0rists can cross our borders at will, enter our villages at will, ambush military convoys at will, take entire towns at will, and now capture a Brigadier General..Then what exactly are we protecting with this so-called
"sovereignty"? Is it sovereignty when terr0rists are the ones controlling forests, highways, and communities? Is it sovereignty when commanders are k1lled and everywhere stays silent? We opposed the USA when they wanted to help Nigeria destroy terr0rists. We shouted "Don't interfere!" "Don't touch our sovereignty!"But what is left to protect when terr0rists already operate like a government inside a government? A country that cannot secure its land is not sovereign. It is vulnerable.
A country where terr0rists can humiliate the military is not sovereign. It is under siege. A country that refuses international help while soldiers d!e is not sovereign. It is stubborn to its own destruction.
If a General can fall like this, then all of us are näk£d. This is not the time for pride. take entire towns at will, and now capture a Brigadier General...

This is not the time for pride.
This is not the time for ego.
This is the time to ask
What is sovereignty worth if it cannot save a single
Nigerian life?
