The latest unrest in the north of the world's most populous black nation [Nigeria] perpetrated by the fundamentalist 'Boko Haram' represents yet another incident that has alerted the world to that which has been painfully obvious for quite some time..
.. That Nigeria suffers from a lack of leadership capable of fostering a sense of unity in its disparate population.
..A sense of unity born out of love, justice, equity and a supreme belief in the State's commitment to protecting the 'mere insignificant' Nigerian on the streets from harm.
Like the politically instigated religious riots and militancy activities before it, the skirmishes with law enforcement officers brought about by the acts of violence perpetrated by the 'Boko Haram' represent a canker worm that is slowly eating away at the very fabric of Nigeria's stability and hence, its promise..
