Nigerian, who are you?

Every Nigerian must read this lovely and thought provoking piece written by Prof. Pius Adesanmi.

I am hoping that this question will be asked by 180 million tongues so that we may arrive at a collective version of the same interrogation: just who the hell are we as Nigerians?

Also, this will be a rather long read, meant only for the deep. If you are the intellectually shallow type who easily dismisses dogon turenchi and grumbles that reflection is too long, heed my advice and stop reading this essay now. It is not meant for you. Go and spend your time on entertainment blogs and celebrity gossip magazines.

MUSING: Killing of Innocent citizens by Fulani herdsmen

Quote of the Day: "In every caricature there is an element of truth". 

The deafening silence from the Presidency in what has become the daily maiming, killing and destruction of properties by the marauding Fulani herdsmen in Nigeria only brings to mind the betrayal of the pigs who lead the revolt in George Orwell's satire "Animal farm", whose slogan becomes: "All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. I don't want to believe our leaders are trying to tell Nigerians that the lives of some Nigerians matters than the rest.

This madness started long ago, but the brazen attacks on innocent citizen increased 1000% since President Muhammadu Buhari, who himself is a Fulani assumed power after a landslide victory in the 2015 general elections.
