What do we know About the Next Revolutions in Africa?
Written by Idriss Zackaria, Central African Correspondent, Vigilance – The Security MagazineBY IDRISS ZACKARIA
In this journey, I’ll take you through some key phases of Africa’s revolutions that are about to shake up and reshape the continent very soon. Few predicted the defeat of the Gambia’s Yahya Jammeh; the decision of the Supreme Court in Kenya and the victory of the opposition in Nigeria. Therefore, the next great African moment could be just around the corner, as is the cases in any continent with a complicated political landscapes and power sharing systems, crises do occur. But, such crises have so far evolved through social and constitutional means, which is unprecedented in Africa’s recent history. For better and worse, the emerging African geopolitical landscape is drawing to a close an era of revolutions. The central challenge of our time is posed not by civil war or terrorism as it used to be, but rather by the intensifying turbulence caused by the phenomenon of national consciousness and global political awakening. Such awakening is politically radicalizing and socially massive - a process of socio-political renewal is underway across the continent, as long as some regimes that tightly control the political landscape will hold elections that they have no intention of losing.
Nigeria 2019 Elections: Threat, Political Risk Assessment
Written by DON OKEREKE, SECURITY CONSULTANT/ANALYSTBY DON OKEREKE, SECURITY ANALYST AND CONSULTANT
S/election seasons in Nigeria are synonymous with war situations, a do-or-die affair. Barely six months to Nigeria’s defining 2019 general elections, governance and business activities are almost at a standstill. Machiavellian intrigues, seismic political stunts, inter-party defections, impeachment plots are now the new normal in Nigeria. The political wheeling and dealing playing out in Nigeria is having a butterfly-effect on the already fragile economy, volatile political climate, security, geo-political risk, instability. For the second year in a row, the Fragile States Index, FSI, released by the Washington DC-based think-tank, Fund for Peace, FFP, ranked Nigeria as the 13th least stable country in the world. Similarly, Nigeria ranks 148 out of 168 on the 2018 Global Peace Index (GPI), by the Institute for Economics and Peace.

Dapchi Girls, Herdsmen, Nepotism Will Jeopardize Buhari’s Reelection Prospect (Pt. 1)
Written by DON OKEREKE, SECURITY ANALYSTBY DON OKEREKE, SECURITY ANALYST AND CONSULTANT
Disclaimer:
Now that it is a new normal for Daura Secret Service (DSS) to stifle dissenting opinion, may I emphatically state that my appraisal of the Buhari administration and projection of his reelection prospect is not a function of vested interest. I don’t do ‘political party’ let alone parish-pump politics. I am simply a disillusioned, politically-conscious, informed, straight-from-the-shoulder, passionate and active-citizen who desperately yearns for a safe society and a responsive, responsible, purposeful leadership. If you oppose with analysis, rather than resort to name-calling or intimidation, please do a rejoinder with superior argument. This is how it works in ‘’saner’’ climes.
Analysis: The Dapchi Schoolgirls Abduction Debacle
Written by DON OKEREKE, SECURITY ANALYSTBY DON OKEREKE, SECURITY ANALYST/CONSULTANT
Reminiscent of the abduction of 276 Chibok Girls four years ago, Boko Haram Terrorists (BHT) on Monday, 19 February 2018, invaded Government Girls Science and Technical College, (GGSTC), (formerly Government Girls Secondary School, GGSS), Dapchi, Bursari Local Government Area of Yobe State, Northeast Nigeria. Dapchi, a dusty, agrarian community sits approximately 100km from Damaturu, the Yobe state capital. Locals affirmed that the insurgents were dressed in military fatigues and turbans, that they moved into the town at about 6pm with about eight Hilux Vans and some Tata trucks bearing Arabic inscriptions. They were unchallenged, firing automatic weapons sporadically and shouting ‘’Allahu Akbar’’, meaning God is the greatest. The kamikaze gunmen were tenably strangers given that they did not know the location of the girls’ school - GGSTC even though it is just by the road leading to Gashua town. Not knowing their way around, the Kanuri speaking gunmen eventually forced some residents to show them the location of the school. They shook hands with some natives and asked them to proceed with their prayers, that they are not there for them. After abducting scores of girls, they headed east, towards Gumsa village. Open source intelligence suggests that half of the abducted Dapchi schoolgirls may have been ferried across the border into neighboring Niger Republic.

Imperativeness Of Fixing Nigeria’s Moribund Health SystemWritten by DON OKEREKE, SECURITY ANALYST/CONSULTANTBY DON OKEREKE, SECURITY ANALYST AND CONSULTANT At the risk of making sweeping statements, many Nigerians will agree that the healthcare system in Nigeria is moribund, not fit for purpose and tantamount to events in the Animal Farm narrative. Scores of Nigerians die incessantly from preventable, treatable diseases while political leaders and affluent Nigerians embark on ‘’medical tourism’’ to treat mundane health challenges that can be treated in Nigeria. It is safe to conclude that these well-off Nigerians have no iota of confidence in Nigeria’s healthcare system and medical professionals. The quest for greener pastures and improved wellbeing is the reason scores of Nigerian are traded as slaves in Libya. It accounts for why 26 Nigerian girls perished in the Mediterranean Sea en route Europe recently. It is profoundly hypocritical hearing privileged Nigerians in corridors of power press Nigerians in abroad to return to home whereas they journey abroad for quality medical treatment.
