The Hypocrisy Of The US Security Alert
By Abdullahi O. Haruna (Haruspice)
All of you amplifying the alleged US embassy’s security alert, what exactly do you want to achieve? We should join them to evacuate as well? Is there any threat that is more than what we have faced in the hands of boko haram since 2011? We are so hypocritical that the only time we love ourselves is when it has to do with terror scare, that is when everyone begins to broadcast messages thus heightening fear and anxiety.
Deadly crimes happen every day in the US, they don’t give warnings or evacuate but every time they give alerts of imminent security scares in Abuja, what happens to intelligence sharing if indeed they mean well? Embassies keep giving terror alerts thus weakening our confidence in our security forces, this is not fair diplomatically.

No nation is isolated from terror scare, infact, school shooting in the US has become a weekly festival, and so are the daily knife stabbing in the UK. In South Africa, people are robbed in traffic yet life didn’t end.
A news reporter filtered in yesterday that the US soldiers in collaboration with the Nigerian army allegedly busted a terror camp in trademore estate Lugbe in Abuja, a development that has been discovered to be fake.
I’m kind of confused about the reason for these periodic security scare warnings by some embassies in Nigeria and how citizens help to amplify these terror sounds. Time we look critically at these diplomatic excesses, they undermine peace and national security. Nigeria can never share security scare alerts with its citizens in the US, they would rather allow their host nation to handle that, other nations should not be running parallel governments in Nigeria.
Frankly musing
