If we want to attract foreign direct investment in massive quantities, we need to address our security challenges by adopting the following 10 measures

Ayo Akinfe

[1] Start manufacturing all our armaments locally

[2] Strengthen our borders and then police them effectively

[3] Establish a world class special forces commando unit similar to say the British SAS or the US Navy Seals. These guys should be able to wipe any terrorist threat within a week

[4] Build more factories, leisure and sports facilities so our youth stop congregating in mosques and churches where they get indoctrinated

[5] Bring police remuneration up to par with that of the armed forces

[6] Launch a public works programme every five years to put our unemployed youths back to work

[7] Get our clergymen working on investment projects so they have less time and energy to mislead our youth. Every member of Boko Haram was initially influenced by some deranged imam

[8] Create a special anti-terrorist unit within the Nigeria Police Force

[9] Decentralise our military structure so that local army battalions have their own airborne divisions with their own aircraft and pilots

[10] Never allow the illiteracy rate to rise above 10% in any state
