Popular Nigerian social media activist, VeryDarkMan, has openly criticized General Abdulmalik Bulama Biu over the federal government’s handling of Boko Haram insurgency, calling for a tougher stance against the terror group.
The remarks come in response to Bulama’s recent public call for the repentance, rehabilitation, and reintegration of Boko Haram members into Nigerian communities.
General Bulama, a high-ranking military officer, has advocated for strategies that encourage terrorists to surrender their arms voluntarily, emphasizing rehabilitation as a means to restore peace in affected regions.
His approach, however, has generated significant controversy among Nigerians, with critics arguing that it is too lenient and may embolden insurgents.
VeryDarkMan, known for his outspoken commentary on security and governance issues, addressed the general directly in a social media post, asserting that his position requires firmness rather than compassion.
He wrote: “Dear General Abdulmalik Bulama Biu, you are a general, not a pastor. I can see why these terrorists keep increasing because men like you, who have the power and tools to go after them, are sympathizing with them. You should resign because you are a weak general, unable to use your office. This is a shame.”
The activist’s statement quickly went viral, generating widespread debate across social media platforms. Many Nigerians expressed support for VeryDarkMan, echoing sentiments that military leaders must adopt a more proactive and uncompromising approach to curbing insurgency.
Some commenters argued that leniency or negotiation without accountability risks sending the wrong message to terrorists, potentially increasing attacks and insecurity across the country.
This public outcry highlights the frustration of citizens over persistent insecurity, particularly in regions frequently targeted by Boko Haram attacks.
The criticism underscores a broader national conversation about leadership accountability and the effectiveness of current military strategies.
Analysts have noted that while rehabilitation programs can play a role in deradicalization, they must be carefully balanced with enforcement measures to ensure public safety.
The clash between VeryDarkMan’s hardline stance and Bulama’s advocacy for rehabilitation reflects the tension in Nigeria’s security discourse. Citizens increasingly demand results-oriented leadership capable of protecting lives while addressing the root causes of insurgency.
The debate also raises questions about the role of military officials in combining operational strategy with humanitarian interventions.
As Nigeria continues to grapple with insecurity, voices like VeryDarkMan’s serve as a reminder of public impatience with perceived inaction.
The viral video and ensuing discussions further emphasize the urgent need for effective, decisive, and transparent strategies to protect communities, prevent further attacks, and restore confidence in the country’s security institutions.
VeryDarkMan’s call to action reflects the broader expectations of Nigerians for accountability, strength, and proactive measures in addressing one of the nation’s most pressing challenges.
While General Bulama’s approach prioritizes rehabilitation, the public debate is likely to continue as citizens weigh the balance between forgiveness and firm enforcement in the fight against terrorism.
