Over 90 per cent of people in Southwest Nigeria are no longer interested in the “concoction called Nigeria," the Senior Elders Forum of the Yoruba Council of Elders, has revealed. The Council noted that only a few Yoruba people eating mere “crumbs that fell from their masters’ table," are pleased with the current arrangement, adding that a large number of Southwesterners favour the renegotiation of the amalgamation of Nigeria which has since expired.

The orgy of violence witnessed last week in Nigeria and its attendant deaths were such that increased tension across the land.
At the last count, no fewer than 98 people, including security agents, lost their lives at the hands of Boko Haram, kidnappers, bandits, arsonists and herdsmen in the last seven days. Concerned by the situation, Col Samuel Agbede, retd, in this interview, says government must stop being partisan on security matter s, saying a summit of statesmen should be convened urgently to deliberate on way forward. The retired army officer also examines the role of the military, saying the issue is now beyond what kinetic action alone can address.
