Are you going to mention Islamists terror or is the West still too spineless to confront the real problem here.

Northern Nigeria is the epic centre of commotion, pandemonium, that space of land is ungovernable. in actual fact is mere zoo, the leadership in that part of the country are there to cash in while people there are struggling for survival with basic amenities, no road,no water, no electricity, no security. Since Nigeria attained independence the leadership of the country (president) have been mostly from Northern part but because they are dictators and there for personal gains rather than serving the people, they’ve succeeded in turning that space to poverty island. What a shame ! they are all good in using religion to delude their people

[@eewilson9835]

Its a rich island of people, sounds like you don't have a Nigerian Prince Boyfriend online to remind you how hard everyone is working at business and economics opportunities with strong morals and values that make it hard to find a suitable bride, they are all taken, and he is on his way here as soon as I can share my bank acct info for a quick couple of transfers, its not a big deal because we are in love.

[@rotimikayode1072]

With the way Western media carries news on Nigeria, you would think you would be kidnapped if you enter Nigeria today which is not so. These are isolated crimes. Nigeria is so big you cannot use a crime committed in some isolated places to paint the entire ciuntry.

I’m just speculating but maybe it’s because they don’t have the same footprint as a 400k army does so they don’t pop up in a satellite scan. To identify small targets it’s best to use drones, in my country we use them to spot wildfire starters.

Yet in Nigeria, soldiers will desert those north east and north west states where the Fulanis are killing, maiming and kidnapping and flood the south Eastern part of Nigeria where they commit all sorts of atrocities while the world looks away. Igbos are endangered in Nigeria and no one seems to be concerned. The Biafra song in the lips of every Igbo man is because of long neglect and deprivation of people of Igbo by the Nigeria state. Igbos want independence and freedom from the hawks and jackals that have underdeveloped the country through tribalism and ethnicity.
