As a Nigerian, this is quite frankly an amazing report you've put together. You explained all the rage and anger we feel, and even highlighted the hypocrisy of the ruling party. On the fuel subsidy: there is reason to believe the government simply redirected the funds and are using it to line their pockets, but because government financing is so opaque, we dont have proof of this. I am not pro political violence, but in the face of hunger, oppression, greed, and wanton poverty, coupled with repression from the police, what choice do we have?

That's everywhere in Africa. Our nations were not formed organically, with time this will go away like it did in Europe, but that means everyone over the age of 50 must die out.

Honestly, instead on playing on each other strengths people would rather be jealous and wicked to each other.
