It has become painfully obvious that the Nigerian government can no longer guarantee the safety of its citizens, least of all its students. We know it. Boko Haram knows it. Until there is a real and concerted effort to fight the group, there is no hope of its power ever waning. In a country where citizens are used to providing for themselves what the government should provide (electricity and water, for example), there is little hope that children can be kept safe in schools. The only way to do so might be to keep them from schools that are prone to attack. That way, Boko Haram wins. Again. - Chika Unigwe It has become painfully obvious that we cannot govern ourselves. We are in denial about this. Until the confrontation that must happen, let us revel in hand wringing and pretty prose. That is all we can do at this point. That is all we ever do anyway. Abacha died of (un)natural causes, dont mind the chest thumping of the prodemocracy movement. Nonsense.
