Changing the game against the odds

I published Nigeria's first counter-terrorism novel titled operation game change earlier this year. The incessant wave of terrorist attacks and the prevailing opinion that the terrorists cannot be stopped fueled my desire to change this perception and by extension show those involved that the game can be changed if they change their approach. So far, the response has been good and the book is getting more attention from the public. My interview with Nigeria's number one newspaper can be read at www.punchng.com/entertainment/arts-life/the-gospel-of-a-game-changer/


Terrorism must be addressed from both the ideaological and military angles for any counterinsurgency campaign to be successful as citizens must feel secure enough to provide Intel and lend a helping hand to such campaigns. Necessary personnel, equipment and investment must be put in place to combat the menace. Countries like the U.S have followed this template to great effect. As terrorists continue to step up their operations, measures and policies must be put in place to keep up with such emerging trends. In Nigeria, terrorism is quite new and we're still coming to terms with the intrigues associated with it. I believe that with more awareness, we can overcome the situation and change the game and Operation Game Change is just a start.
