I am beginning to wonder what the future holds for Nigeria as a nation. Any dreams of returning to Nigeria to live is more and more difficult to envisage, but I must also state that west of Nigeria is stable there were no killings in these parts of Nigeria, but as we know these kind of revolutions start they gain a life of their own and continue like a wild fire burning through a bone dried bush.
