We have on several occasions
pointed out that Nigeria
is an aberration created by a colonial fiat to feed its insatiable economic
appetite. Regrettably, since political independence, Nigeria
has failed to weave a nation out of the welter of ethnicities that make up Nigeria to the extent that today Nigeria has
become emblematic of a failed state capacious only in the wastage of human
life. Today in Nigeria ,
human life has been subordinated to the life of a cow.
