Wailings of a master planner
NIGERIA is facing severe economic challenges that have made life brutish for virtually everybody. Nigerians labour daily to overcome these economic challenges. Beyond the obvious economic challenges, there are agitations in the South-East led by MASSOB, challenges of herdsmen in different parts of the country, the scourge of the ‘technically degraded’ Boko Haram in the North-East and the resurgence of violence in the Niger Delta over calls for rapid development, resource control, resource ownership and restructuring of the Nigerian Federation. These turbulent issues and the lack of corresponding problem-solving mechanism from government quarters have created terrifying waves in Nigeria.
