Radical Islamic jihad is a tumor. A cancerous tumor to any and all in the society. It predated modern civilization. In Nigeria however, vivid historical chronology has been accessible from early 1800 through 1945 and up to this veey era. The inaction of the colonial administration in the massacre of Biafrans in 1945 and 1953 respectively, set a dangerous tone but it was Obasanjo’s abdication of constitutional duty through the granting of Sharia to 12 Northern States of Nigeria, that buoyed radical Islamists and punctured a stunting secularity. (Again, I believe he did so by seeking the advice of neocolonial advisors, without consultation with Southern States). This blunder set off a chain reaction. Boko Haram s restricted and measured demand for blood escalated as Umaru Yar’dua, diedd. This was in part because many street urchins were under the influence of radical Islamists. Their indoctrination did not take long. The escalation had been anticipated as promised the infidels
ANALYSIS: Why Ndume was jailed for being Maina’s surety but Abaribe wasn’t as Nnamdi Kanu’s surety

John Okiyi Kalu: Flooding of A-line in Ariaria International Market and matters arising
Published
Following every heavy rain fall, videos of flooded A-line in Ariaria International Market, Aba, are circulated online by sundry persons apparently to demarket the well acknowledged efforts of the Ikpeazu led Abia State Government to fix critical infrastructure in the State in a sustainable manner.
While some of those involved in the video sharing game may have been recruited by the opponents of the administration for political reasons, it is important to lay before the public the true story of the efforts made by the government to permanently fix the challenge.
