This aphorism best describes the actions and inactions of the Nigeria’s electoral umpire, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, under the watch of Professor Attahiru Jega, whereby some ten months to the 2015 general elections, both the ruling and major opposition political parties have embarked on campaigns, in disguise, though.

In the past, clashes involving Fulani herdsmen and aborigines in the former’s graze-lands had always been isolated cases, requiring mere police intervention and government appeal for truce. But that is no longer the case, as incursions by the Fulani herdsmen are now usually carried out with the fierceness of insurgency. How come these herdsmen are now using sophisticated weapons to fight their causes? What are their grievances, and who are the likely backers of these annoyed citizens?
