If this is true . .then they are really getting desperate to inflict painful casualties to perceived southerners, they seem to have upped the ante to attacking churches to further polarize the whole country  . . .Why is the government still sending kids to this troubled zone . . And the kids are even going there with their parents consenting to it

Bishopking:

"kids" are going because without the "almighty" NYSC certificate, they may never be employable in Nigeria.Not only that, they may miss out in any other opportunities. And do not forget that the kids sent up there are the ones without parents in corridor of power or influence.
The government can care less if they are all bombed into pieces. They are unknown Nigerians.
A nation that deliberately send citizens to dangers' path.  

can't the state governments whose lads are being sent there play the politics also for the safety of their indigenes    . .  . . Just wondering, and what you said is actually the truth
