Again, the 18th day of March 2013 has
witnessed with eyes out on stalks the gruesome killing of over seventy
promising souls living out their daily struggles in Sabon Gari bus park, in
Kano by the dreaded fundamentalist sect, boko haram. As usual, the police
denies that not less than twenty two well-targeted southern commuters were
killed and the government while condemning such barbaric act reiterates its
position over the insecurity in the state. You see, it baffles me as often as it comes to my mind to ponder over the daunting developmental situation our country has seen since independence. In fact, one easily wonders why sovereignty was sought in the first place. Was our so-called federalism structured to subjugate the people under the lethal will of de facto politicians, or was it an avenue to harmonize the interest and welfare of the people under one government whose leadership is dictated by the same people.
