The Genesis Of The Crisis Of Terrorism In Nigeria by Orikinla(m): 8:33am On Apr 21, 2011
Corruption causes the leakages of power, undermines security and weakens leadership at all levels of  human administration.
As corruption increases insecurity will become worse.                                                                                     

The Maitasine riots were the worst political and religious uprisings in Nigeria between 1980 and 1983, during the corrupt administration of President Alhaji Shehu Shagari, an Hausa Muslim from northern Nigeria.
Shagari was a weak leader and could not stop the Maitasine riots and over 4, 000  people were killed.
The corrupt civilian government was overthrown in a military coup. And when the military ruled Nigeria there was relative peace in the country until the June 12 Crisis.  So, whether the President is  from the South or North does not matter to these terrorists who would attack their targets for political, religious or tribal agitations from the Niger Delta to Maiduguri. So, put this in your perspectives of the critical analysis  of the current crisis of post election riots in the northern states in Nigeria. Pass on the message to President Goodluck Jonathan and the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP).
