Since the resumption of democracy in 1999, we have had two elected Presidents from the South and two elected Presidents from the North. Even the state of insecurity we are in today is our collective guilt as a people. In all honesty, there is a national character to the insecurity in Nigeria and finger pointing should not make much impression. Any foreigner travelling to Nigeria today is, first and foremost, warned about the danger posed by those who kidnap for ransom. Let us stop reporting Nigeria to America and Europe and strive for ourselves to redirect the course of history and make the world to be envious of Nigeria and its citizens.
