When few years ago, President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan in an address, referred to ‘Terrorism’ as a “global phenomenon, which has come to stay”, the media went agog if not frenzy with the report and pundits including this writer, vilified him for such uncouth statement least expected from a leader who even though he is required to be truthful to the led, also has to fill their cups of hope at all time, lest they lose hope in the nation that it is their duty to protect and nurture at all times. But years on, it appears those who had thought otherwise, have come to see the phenomena through the same lens the president had seen it earlier on as activities of terror in the last couple years have lent credence to what could pass as the clairvoyance of Mr. President no thanks to the heightened crusade of terror and bloodletting that has spilled into almost every continent from Europe to America, from America to Asia and Africa appears to be her youngest issue. It is instructive to add that those of us, who vilified Mr. President for such remarks, were not oblivious of the truism of the report, our grouse way back was the bluntness of the president and the unwritten complacency laced in it. That terrorism has become a global affair therefore needs no emphasis, hence, why it informs the troubles of this article.
