Northern Nigeria needs honest soul-searching. BH, Banditry&Kidnappings are symptoms of a failed society. The task is to unmask the not-so-hidden dysfunctions of our institutions: education, economy, social cohesion, family, religion, name it. Almost everything is in disarray.

What ethnic hustlers failed to factor, in their attempts to stock hatred between Hausa and Fulani ethnic groups in northern Nigeria, is that the bond between the two groups is that of Islam, which transcends race, tribe, or region.
