Absolutely fascinating. Lesson to be learnt from the past. It helps us to understand the present. Given half the chance the Nigerian Military could wipe out Boko Haram in a blink of an eye because the fear of the wrath of the Nigerian military is beginning of wisdom. They are ruthless o! Human rights no dey their vocabulary. It is obvious Jonathan as commander in chief has not empowered them to do their job. And the complicity of the religious and political is implicit in what is going on. But the most bizarre and fascinating aspect is what has been done with Maitatsines remains. An incredible part of the archive indeed! The comments are interesting as it shows that Nigerians are such lovers of History and that we are suffering from the gaps but thanks to the internet many individuals are doing the work. This is plenty material for any visual artist interested in the archival or in time.
