Two days ago, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, apparently speaking about ISIS without exactly mentioning it by name, said, “If neglected, I am certain that, after a month, they will reach Europe, and after another month, America.” Continuing, the Saudi king said, “These terrorists do not know the name of humanity and you have witnessed them severing heads and giving them to children to walk with in the street.” The king made this statement at a reception for foreign ambassadors on Friday. On that same day, the United Kingdom raised its terror threat level from “substantial” to “severe”. Most of Europe is already doing same and President Obama has found himself in the awkward position of having to bomb ISIS positions in Syria in a military operation that directly props up Bashar Assad of Syria. While all this is happening, our own President Jonathan does not even appear to be making an attempt to interpret what is going on. He is mainly interested in using our military, police and SSS to crack down on opposition politicians and opposition states instead of looking at the bigger and more worrisome picture. You do not need to be intelligent to know that whenever ISIS, which the international community now simply calls the Islamic state, wants a foothold in Africa, it would not need to think twice before choosing Nigeria, as all it would need to do is establish a link with Boko Haram, that is, if it had not done so already. And even if it has not done so yet, Boko Haram is already sending it a message by its declaration recently that it had established an Islamic caliphate in Gwoza. .....Sam Ndah Isaiah
