While we congratulate the new guy, let us remind him that we have several challenges in the country...bandits and boko in the North, and secessionist violence in the East and the ongoing herdsmen crisis.

These crisis will demand his full and total attention

As he takes office, Shekau is dead, but the monsters around him are still alive. New issues arise in the South East, and banditry is threatening the peace of this country

I wish him well, and hope he does a good job. Better than his predecessors. To quote/parphrase Robert Mugabe, when he was meeting with the chief of his intelligence on day one of his time in power...don't expect Nigerians to applaud your failures.

P.S Our polticians too should also sit up. Most of the time, the work that should be done by them is being done by the Army

PS2: I Hope that the special forces unit gets more funding and training and strenghtening.

In my opinion, Nigeria does not need a new Chief of Staff more than it needs a new President.

General Farouk Yahaya, even though I am not surprised or pleased with your appointment, I hope you prove me wrong, and you’re dedicated to the task, and also aim to pen down your name in the right side of the history books—because believe it or not, someday, in a discussion somewhere, your name would be mentioned.

That is why they’re calling for a Constitutional reform. The elected representatives of the states that you call “Governors,” you’d be surprised at how tied their hands are, when it is time to address security matters.

We have learnt not to bother ourselves anymore about some nonentities.
As some of us have said, it is peace all around Nigeria that we want, even if only one village will be producing the People to bring peace to this nation. So be it.
