THE RECENT ABORTED CRISIS WITH NTEJE


"When you do things the right way, you have nothing to lose because you have nothing to fear."

"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear."

According to Arjen Boin, a transboundary crisis can be defined as one that:


effortlessly exceeds geographical, policy, cultural, public–private and legal boundaries that normally enable public managers to classify, contain and manage a crisis. It escalates rapidly and mutates constantly, creating confusion about causes and possible consequences. It ends up on many administrative tables, but it is not obvious which of those tables is or should be “in the lead.” These features make a fast and adequate response difficult, to say the least.


From the perspective of applied history, the trajectory of transboundary crisis management in times of communal crisis is a highly rich and fascinating one. We have seen how specific conditions had a significant impact on how the Nigerian states handled a crisis. Interestingly, the size of the Community was and is of key importance; Communities, with leaders who are seasoned in summitry and negotiations (and preferably know and trust each other) operate far more effectively than large scale organizations. In other words, the More organise set up and Committee set up by both Community seemed more effective than the one set up by the state government today in managing inter communal clashes.


Also conducive to transboundary cooperation is the ability to limit and overcome the level of politization and polarization that always follows a pandemic in its wake. Here, leadership is of utmost importance and would demand more time and space to investigate from a historical perspective. It seems that Community with igwe leadership—a novel phenomenon in historical pandemic crisis situations—has had a beneficial effect both on cooperation and on mitigating the fall out of politicization in 1999 we wouldn't have had a full blown communal clashes with our neighbors if we had one like we have today. 


The Committee set up to look into this particular issue Nteje are doing well and are expected to come out with a well detailed solution to the prevailing situation. 


Finally

The young man that nearly caused a whole Community fight was arrested by town vigilante men and happened to be a miscreants and a misfit tell me what would have been the result if we had engaged our two Communities into skirmishes because of a social misfit of such nature. In the future we should always allow our leaders to lead the way as their gentle nature does not pottray us as weakling.
