Thank you so much.
Yes, it's one word: accountability. I think Canada has the resources to hold Nigeria and the Nigerian government accountable. Canada has the power and influence to ask Nigerians tough questions, and the Nigerian government should answer those questions. I don't think the world has held Nigeria accountable enough, especially the leaders.
If you give them weapons and you give them resources, what if it ends up in the hands of the herdsmen? There is news and rumours and stories about these herdsmen having better equipment than the Nigerian army. How are they getting these materials? How are they getting these guns, helicopters and all these weapons?
The best way is that Canada needs to find a way to make the Nigerian government and Nigerian officials accountable. Ask them tough questions. They should give straight answers on what is going on and how Canada can help to solve the insecurity problems in Nigeria.
I'll add that I'm a Canadian and I'm a Nigerian. We don't want a situation where Canada goes into Nigeria to help them just to show that they're coming to help the Christians. That's not how we want Canada to represent itself. We want Canada to go and say that it wants to help with the insecurity problem in Nigeria, which is a lot. There are so many different things happening, like kidnapping and ransoms, where people end up dying because their families cannot afford to pay. It has nothing to do with religion.
My key word would be that Canada needs to find a way to hold Nigeria accountable for what's going on.
