This expression of our security operatives and people at the helms reflects an acknowledgement of helplessness, low morale, hope, putting faith on luck for security and not efforts.

Helplessness from those saddled with the responsibility of national security may sound funny but it is tragic for brave soldiers and their superiors to give up hope openly without pretence or false confidence that is part of military tactics.

The war left for soldiers to fight seems misplaced and devoid of merit to inspire the confidence for winning. It is real that high drug misuse and its mental health effects is aggravating national crises as seen in cases of suicides, domestic violence, insecurity, road accidents.
