Same news every day, they can't just live in peace

Nigeria is safer and more secure than ever - Lai Muhammed..

In a region where alcohol is banned.

Where payers are made 5 times.

Where mosques are built in every 100m distance.

Where households even have mosques

Where women lose dressing is frowned at

Where women cannot share same seat with men in buses

Where married women are not allowed a visit.

Where leaders do everything to pretend religious.

In that region.

There is high level of illiteracy

There is high level of drug intake

There is high level of killing

There is high number of terrorist groups

There is high level of insurgency

There is high level of looting

There is high level of poverty

There is high level of begging

There is high level of child marriage and rape

There is high level of kidnapping

There is high level of arson

There is high level of destruction.

Is the cause religion? May be or may be not. Because we hardly see such among Yoruba adherents.

What am sure is that there is high level of HYPOCRISY

Hypocrisy have killed northerners. They prefer chasing shadows and hence will continue to suffer until they genuinely repent.

He is not, he is downplaying it

Bandits, Boko Haram Fulani herdsmen why are all these from the north

Waking up to this?? This thing is already out of hand...and why are the north not condemning this..
Very sad indeed

... After the killings and the kidnappings, that's when the government will say everybody should calm down, that the security agencies are on top of the situation...... Should they be on top of the situation before killings or after.....

Northern Nigeria is cursed
