Most Nigerians seem to be at the extreme points of the two dominant religious influences: Christianity and Islam. The number of terribly poor Nigerians has risen sharply, overtaking other hitherto most vulnerable countries like India and Pakistan. According to a recent survey by the UNICEF, the largest clusters of poorest Nigerians can be found in the states of Nigeria’s North-East and North-West. The result of the survey confirmed my earlier conviction that millions of President Buhari’s supporters do not have any reason for showing their support. There is also an opportunity to forestall further degeneration of security challenges for people living in Nigeria.
