Recent reports of bomb blasts in various part of the country have now taken a dangerous dimension with the bombers now apparently now targeting football viewing centres for their unholy and ungodly acts. The coming of these viewing centres has created employment opportunities for many Nigerians who are unable to secure a government job.
The new strategy by these bomber to target the viewing centres is very unfortunate, inhuman and most retrogressive. These viewing centres have afforded many Nigerians to interact amongst themselves irrespective of their various differences to share ideas on the events going on at the centres.
The FIFA World Cup would start today in Brazil and these viewing centres would attract many Nigerians to watch such matches. Our fear is the security of our viewing centres during the global event where many Nigerians forget their differences to support our national team in Brazil.
The government must be proactive by ensuring the patrol of such viewing centres by our security personnel to avoid any attack.
Also the populace must be security conscious by being vigilant and report any suspicious objects and movements that would lead to neutralising any bomb blast that would occur anywhere, not only in the viewing centres which now attract the bombers.
