Insanity in the Corridors of power 1

Today, I shall start my soliloquy by borrowing the words of the renowned Brainiac Albert Einstein who defined Insanity as " doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"; because saying outright that our government might be insane would appear insulting albeit factual.  The presidency and Committee on Security matters have approved an extension of the State of Emergency Rule in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states for the 3rd time in a row! This is the first time a particular region of this country would be in a perpetual state of emergency for so long! The simple logic is that if a particular method isn't effective, change to something else.  Persistence and loyalty to a school of thought isn't the way forward when lives are being wasted everyday.  No. Trying whatever will work should be the approach of our government. From the look of things, it appears that while the citizens of these states are restricted in their land, the intruders, the insurgents have an unrestrained access to loot, plunder and devour the inhabitants of the land. My questions are these: 1. Are there no other methods apart from declaring a state of emergency? 2. If after so long, the state of emergency hasn't restricted or curtailed the operations of Boko Haram, what miracle will happen now? 3. What happened to all the foreign support we were promised by the First world countries? If the presidency wants an extension of this rule, then I assume there must be a change in the strategy and plans of our armed forces. I assume that there is a sure and better way they have devised that cannot be implemented without a State of Emergency.  If not, then I might be forced to agree with those who think that a routine psychiatric evaluation is a mandatory exercise for all our National leaders, afterall, only a mad man will do the same thing the same way and expect a different result. No be me talk am, Na Einstein say so.
