The Asaba declaration is in order, writes Sonnie Ekwowusi We live in perilous times. Like the proverbial rudderless vessel, Nigeria is dangerously drifting into the precipice with the ship’s captain and crew members completely ignorant and helpless. Anybody still finding it difficult to come to terms with this analogy in relation to Nigeria is living in a fool’s paradise. Nigeria is at war: she is at war with herself, with her different ethnic nationalities, stakeholders and interest groups which make up the country. The bullets may not be flying and crisscrossing here and there quite alright but the bandits, Islamic terrorists, Fulani herdsmen murderers, anonymous gun-men, arsonists, burglars have a far-reaching inroad into the heart of the Nigerian state and is about capturing her in order to destroy her, reminiscent of Karl Maier’s This House Has Fallen or Robert D. Kaplan’s The Coming Anarchy.
