Why is there no national outrage? By Ikechukwu Amaechi
What will ever provoke a national outrage? Why is it that nothing shocks Nigerians anymore even when those in power throw the kitchen sink at them? At what point will Nigerians say enough to insults from their so-called leaders? Why is it that our patience has become so elastic that no matter how outrageous the […]
