Machiavellian Cycle Of Insurgency: Stakeholders’ Interests Perpetuate Violence In Nigeria

1
491

By timeswatch

The insurgency in Nigeria has been a longstanding and complex issue, with various stakeholders contributing to its perpetuation. While the Nigerian government has made efforts to combat the insurgency, the conflict remains, with devastating consequences for civilians and the country as a whole.

One of the primary reasons for the persistence of the insurgency is the existence of an insidious cycle of interests, where various stakeholders benefit from the conflict. This cycle is fueled by corruption, greed, wickedness and a lack of accountability, which has become a norm in the Nigerian system.

At the heart of this cycle are politicians and government officials, who have vested interests in the continuation of the conflict. These individuals often use the conflict as a pretext to embezzle funds meant for counter-insurgency operations or to accumulate wealth and power through corrupt means. The military and many other security agencies are also complicit in this cycle. This has not only undermined the government’s efforts to combat the insurgency but has also contributed to the proliferation of small arms and light weapons in Nigeria.
Furthermore, some businessmen and contractors are also benefiting from the insurgency. They provide services and supplies to the military and other organizations involved in counter-insurgency operations, often at inflated prices. This has created a perverse incentive structure, where some individuals and companies have vested interests in the continuation of the insurgency.

To break these cycle of interests, the Nigerian government must take a decisive draconian action to address the root causes, unmask and bring to book the human elements behind the sustainability of the insurgency. This includes increasing transparency and accountability in the management of counter-insurgency funds, cracking down on corruption and criminality, and promoting responsible journalism, for misinformation is the Broadway to deformation.
The government must also engage in dialogue with local communities and stakeholders to address the underlying grievances that have contributed to the insurgency. This includes addressing issues such as poverty, inequality, and lack of access to education and healthcare.

No two ways about it! As long as stakeholders continue to benefit from the insurgency, it will remain a potent force.

    Viele Spieler bevorzugen in diesem Zusammenhang die Freispiele als Angebot ohne Einzahlung.

    Neue Online Casinos bieten verschiedene Arten von Boni an, die Du ohne Einzahlung
    erhalten kannst. Dies funktioniert so, dass die Online Casinos Dich dazu auffordern, einen bestimmten Wert des Bonus ohne Einzahlung zu setzen, um ihn zu erhalten. Wie
    bereits erwähnt, zahlst Du im Voraus kein eigenes Geld ein,
    um Zugang zu einem Bonus im Online Casino zu erhalten. Um das kostenlose Geld zu erhalten, musst Du nach Deiner Anmeldung häufig
    noch einen Teil Deines eigenen Geldes ausgeben.
    Ein Echtgeld Bonus ist oft flexibler und für mehr Spiele einsetzbar,
    deshalb sind Echtgeld Boni meist wertvoller für langfristiges Spielvergnügen und höhere Gewinnchancen. Freispiele ohne Einzahlung
    bieten eine gute Gelegenheit, Online Slots kostenlos zu testen und kleine Gewinne zu erzielen. So können Sie neue Casino Angebote in aller Ruhe testen, bevor Sie
    sich entscheiden und Echtgeld einzahlen. Prüfen Sie vorher,
    wie viel Sie maximal mit dem Bonus gewinnen dürfen. Zum Beispiel,
    ab 20 € Gewinn mit dem Spielen aufzuhören oder zu Echtgeld zu wechseln, wenn der Bonus ausgeschöpft ist.

    Meistens erhältst du den Willkommensbonus auch erst, wenn du
    eine erste Einzahlung getätigt hast. Genau diese
    Bonusangebote möchten wir nun genauer unter die Lupe nehmen, damit du über alle verfügbaren Angebote bestens informiert bist.
    In Online Casinos ohne Einzahlung erwarten dich in der Regel
    zahlreiche Bonusangebote, die das Spielerlebnis noch spannender machen werden. Im folgenden Abschnitt wollen wir näher darauf eingehen, welche Bonusangebote in den Online Casinos Deutschlands auf dich warten. Bei
    einem normalen Casino Bonus ist es in der Regel so, dass man eine Echtgeldeinzahlung tätigen muss, bei
    der man dann einen entsprechenden Code angibt, um überhaupt für
    den Bonus zugelassen zu werden. Daher nutzen sie Bonusangebote, um Spieler an ihre
    Slots zu locken.
