Another Missing aircraft!

Wonders, they say, will never end! Anyone that has paid some form of attention to the Nigerian polity will agree that this statement is a fact; a lifelong fact. But what about "Mysteries will never end"? This too is beginning to become an accepted fact around the world.
Take the missing Malaysian Aircraft MH370 for instance. It's disappearance is a mystery that the experts are still trying to solve. ( I hope they do and then it will stop being a mystery).



A mystery is an unexplainable event, an occurrence that logic can't give meaning to.
The definition of mystery however is relative. What is a mystery today might become unravelled tomorrow thanks to an expansion in insight and depth in knowledge.
Some things we term mystery in Nigeria are definitely not so mysterious in Britain or some other developed country thanks to the availability of technological prowess.



So while I agree that the MH370's disappearance is a mystery, I dare to say that the missing NAF aircraft is far from being a mystery!
It's like claiming that the whereabouts of our Chibok sisters is a mystery.
Nope! It isnt.


What is a mystery is the reason they are still not home after so long ( 150 days if I am not mistaken!)
Another mystery is how, despite the plummeting state of our dear country, some Nigerians still go about cheering the present government claiming "the people behind you are more than those against you"!
Their statisticians have to be mysteriously disoriented in time, place and person!

The fact that some Nigerians clamour for Mr President's 2nd term is a baffling story for another day.
I might have to employ the services of Inspector Gadget to help unravel these Nigerian mysteries.


The missing NAF aircraft didn't mysteriously disappear and I hope that the Media geeks of the FG won't come up with fancy words and claim ignorance of this fact.
This disappearance has BH written all over it and I hope that the DHQ sees it too.
BH has repeatedly looted armouries of our defence institutes and I believe that this might be one of their efforts at improving their offensive attacks.



Alot of things are mysterious on this divide of the world, but our security dilemma is not one of them.
It's funny how 2015 elections seem to be of more importance to us than this threat to our very existence as a nation.
Let it not be mysterious when our children begin to query our intelligence and sincerity when they read about Singapore and it's transformation and wonder what we did to salvage the glory that this great nation once basked in!



God bless Nigeria.
