Nigeria's bastard

The present state of insecurity in Nigeria calls for urgency from all and sundry: everybody has a role to play and since a tree can not make a forest, all hands must be on deck to checkmate this bastard we call our son.
Amnesty has been granted to Niger-delta militants; there have been a re-distribution of law enforcement agents to areas of reported high rates of crime; these are good moves but we can do more than that.
Most of these criminals claim that unemployment is their drive, government should also do something about that after all an idle mind is a devil’s workshop and according to Charles Darwin (1859) there’ll always be a struggle for survival.
Yet, you and I have a major role to play here; probably the most effective. Arrest the criminal and crime will cease; look into a mirror and you will see him. It’s a thing of the mind, if you stop your crime and I stop mine, peace will return to Nigeria.
