RE: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Okey Ndibe asks: Nigeria: why are wesleeping easy when terrorists have kidnapped our children?

Nothing can be more truthful, Toyin do you live in Nigeria? If you do, please which  part of Ndibe submission was  exaggerated. Is the fact that basic infrastructures are almost totally lacking? Or the total lack of security? Please let us know. Sometimes I wonder of Nigerian Government is not an army of occupation exploiting and milking the occupied even unto death. Emma  Nwekeoma

Is this true in spite of the limitations of Nigeria- 'For the most part, the Nigerian state abjures all responsibilities to the citizenry'?

I think it is untrue and unfair.

This is more of exaggeration and uncritical condemnation than genuine criticism.

Pay off the local police chief to acquire two or three police officers – or, better still, hire your own private security. If you want good schools for your children, make/steal enough money to put them in a private school or send them abroad.
