It is clear that Nigeria which is not just directly affected by this and other issues but is supposed to be leading this forum has lost contact with the world politics and thus the Benin Republic and Ghana as the new Nigeria "gods". Nigerians on the other hand now wonder like sheep among wolves in the international community. The hatred for Nigerians even within Africans intensifies correspondingly as all grounds for defence seem to have been lost.
What a shame!
How long will we suffer this humiliation just because of fear and ethnic sentiments?
When are we going to arise and take our possession by force?
When are we going to recognize the fact that the federal state of Nigeria will never ever be or function again and work towards the way forward?
When will Nigerians stand and say "enough is enough" like others do?
Is it not yet time?
