Should we negotiate, beg, appease, conceal  give orders, play politics or pray? A bully does not  listen to ‘abeg’. Once they have the  capacity to bully, they will continue to bully. They only pipe low if the victim has  the capacity to respond decisively or even pre-emptively. As long as these non-state actors have the ability to easily inflict death and pain without  consequences, our pleas, negotiations and other such puerile strategies will not work. We need to  so ‘fire’ them  that they will be the ones begging for mercy. That is when they will be willing to talk; that is when negotiation will yield fruits. As  one of my friends, DrNO opined, what we need is the will to implement, the integrity bto act and the courage to fire those who fail to act! I am not a TRUMPeteer  but I agree with his philosophy of peace with strength. Early July, Bello Turji reportedly sued for peace after the death of his righthand man and cousin. Yellow Danbokolo. If and when we hit them real bad, they will beg for peace! Read, savour and SHARE
