ON AMOTEKUN: Western Nigeria Security Network

One of the unique features of the Leopard is that it is the least social but most beautiful animal of the African cats.Its uniqueness also in terms of strength I consider is one of the reasons the South West,Yoruba dominant speakers of Nigeria  has chosen the Leopard as a symbol of her regional security outfit to protect her children from predators.
This idea is such an interesting one considering the rate at which the whole Country is presently experiencing Insecurity. Hopefully, the idea will against all odds stand for the ultimate goals to be actualised. I think in my opinion the following should be considered for Amotekun to be really unique.

Africans tend to believe that the Christian God tarries longer to pass judgement but its not so with the African traditional religion gods like the Ogun,Sango,Oya etc. These deities  are believed to be so potent and very fast in terms of retributions and nemesis especially when an individual has compromised.

First,the operators of Amotekun should be bound by whatever means legally not to be compromising and never to allow infiltrations. The Yoruba saying that the enemy is right there in your backyard while your betrayal resides right in your house should always be in the thoughts of the board formation(members) of Amotekun.  Standards should not be compromised for no reason and whoever errs amongst members regardless of their connection to godfathers should be dealt with.If this is not done,cases after infiltrations of an adhoc security outfit(s)are usually worse off than when checks were not in place.
Secondly,technological skills could be deployed to make the workload easier for the operators. In a lagos university recently, a young lecturer with his team of students built a panic alert app within the university environment to alert security personnels of any eventualities. This idea can be embraced so that when more hands are needed to be on deck at the venue of an incidence,help comes in no distance time. Also since the Amotekun operatives are also our husbands,fathers  and relatives,their lives can also be secured with the use of an app.

Thirdly,the outfit will achieve so much if the members are bound by oath of honesty,sincerity and unity and if those chosen to serve are men of integrity. God himself is aware that anything man sets his heart at with a united front with no betrayals within,is usually a success, a good example was Nimrod and co who tried to intimidate God when they decided to build Babel..God acted faster before man's actions became absolute,in this case,it was unity with no diversity which seems to work  better.
Finally,the Amotekun operatives who will always be on the battlefield needs to be prayed for and also to be financially kitted. They will always be at the front line and edges for the safety and security of others so wisdom is needed for them to guard against the tactics of the predators.
If these and other things are considered for the success of this outfit in the Southwest then Amotekun has come to stay and Nigeria is one step ahead especially in terms of security.
