Preamble:
Notwithstanding
a battered image, negative publicity occasioned
by unremitting Boko Haram terrorism and insurgency, sporadic Fulani herdsmen
attacks, proliferation of kidnap for ransom and extortion, pervasive corruption
and advanced fee fraud or ‘’419’’ narratives by few unscrupulous Nigerians, far
from it that Nigeria is a bastion of instability, insecurity, crime and fraud. It’s said that in every twelve, there’s a Judas; it is not
usual that there will be bad and desperate folks in a country of 170 million
people, where many suffer in the midst of abundance. The goings-on,
hitches inherent in Nigeria are largely man-made and characteristic of a disparate
body politic trying to negotiate itself into nationhood. The gospel truth and good
news is that Nigeria is imbued with great potentials and many Nigerians are sanguine,
morally antiseptic, benevolent, and very hospitable.
