What is happening in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2021\/08\/18\/recent-events-in-afghanistan-quick-lessons-for-nigeria\/\">Afghanistan<\/a> presently is a good pointer. It shows that a movement driven by ideology is very difficult to overcome. The US, having spent 20 years, trillions of dollars, thousands of lives lost, it took the Taliban only a few weeks to come,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is what people should appreciate about fighting terrorism. The good news is that insurgents today are surrendering in droves and we are going after them. The truth of the matter is that the Nigerian government is winning the war against insurgents.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked to back the claim with facts, he said: \u201cThe evidence of that is the number of insurgents that are now surrendering and they are surrendering not only their weapons, they are coming also with their relations and their families.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked why schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram have not been released despite the success he said the government has achieved, the minister said: \u201cThis thing takes time. Don\u2019t forget that in 2015, Boko Haram controlled a swathe of land the size of Belgium. Don\u2019t forget that in 2015, the entire north-east was a no-go area, where schools were closed, markets were closed, hospitals were closed but today we have pinned them to a very small area.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Reacting to concerns that insecurity in the country has gone beyond control, the minister said in spite of the challenges, the Nigerian military is \u201cwinning this war\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA failed state is a state where you have general paralysis everywhere,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI live in Nigeria, I work in Nigeria and I travel all around Nigeria and I can tell you Nigeria is not a failed state. I can tell you, yes we have challenges with banditry, we have challenges with separatist groups, it does not make this country, Nigeria, a failed state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf what is happening in the last few weeks is anything to go by, we are winning this war.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minister of information and culture, Lai Mohammed has stated that Nigeria can not be called a failed state and that insecurity is only prevalent &#8220;in one corner of the country&#8221;.
