In the recent past, some people had realized that for the largest British territorial creation in sub-Saharan Africa called Nigeria, to continue to hold together as one nation, no matter how fragile, it would be necessary to treat all of its component parts with justice and fairness.
Unlike what obtained at the end of the Nigeria-Biafra war when the victorious side ensured that the vanquished were further strangulated through the N20 payment to every Biafran pre-war bank depositor, and selling off the national assets at a time the former Biafrans were financially incapacitated, when the journey to the present political dispensation started in 1999, some people thought it wise to tilt the political pendulum in favour of a particular section of the country who felt badly treated in the course of the political transition to civil rule.

The released school children
When we consider the kidnap of hundreds of students at Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, Katsina State, penultimate week, we begin to see that many things did not add up well. There were many loose ends, which have made us begin to think twice about the whole issue.
First, President Muhammadu Buhari arrived his home state, Katsina, on a holiday. The same day he arrived, bandits stormed the Kankara school in the same Katsina State and took away hundreds of boys. They travelled hundreds of kilometers on foot with the boys, and nobody noticed the movement, even with high security beef up in Katsina State following the President s presence there.
Former President Goodluck Jonathan
In 2015, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan was seen as evil personified. He was clueless, naive, incompetent, weak, inept, and he headed the most corrupt government in the history of Nigeria. Jonathan was also said to have lacked vision, focus, political will, and hence was incapable of tackling the multifarious problems facing Nigeria.
It was because of this general belief that Goodluck Jonathan was a failure that made both the conservative and the so-called progressive elements in Nigeria to come together in a grand coalition to ensure that the man was booted out of office.
During that time, Nigeria was faced with two main problems - insecurity, particularly Boko Haram in the North East, which had displaced many people in the area; and corruption, which had eaten deep into the fabrics of Nigerian society.

Strange things happen nowadays in Nigeria. Can you imagine that a group of people will carry ten or more vehicles, drive them inside a school compound, collect and pack hundreds of students into these vehicles and drive them away unnoticed?
The exercise which may take up to three or more hours to accomplish, will escape the prying eyes of both government and security agencies in this age of Global System of Mobile Communication (GSM), when the world is a global village.
It happened in Chibok, Borno State, in 2014; in Dapchi, Yobe State, in 2016; and now in Kankara, Katsina State. They took everybody by surprise, unaware, and the people would be beating about the bush.
