North-eastern Nigeria has been the base of the terrorist group known as Boko Haram since the group declared war on anybody or anything that has anything to do with western education. What started out as attacks targeted at law enforcement agents has now further degenerated into some senseless and inexplicable massacre of innocent civilians and, most recently, school children! The leaders of tomorrow. The hope of a people! Northern Nigeria is surely treading a very pathetic path of self destruction all in the bid to "make the country ungovernable" for the President who is a Southerner.
The long term effect of this very unfortunate development is that in no distant future the Northern part of Nigeria will be further relegated to the dust bin of history without any hope of its people ever making any meaningful progress. They will not have the capacity to make any positive impact on the rest of the country and the world at large as by then they would have been done with slaughtering their hopes, dreams and aspirations on the altar of religious rascalism and senselessness.
Only a fool will expect to eat his cake and still have it.
