No matter how much well off the people are and how high the standard of living is, as long as there are elements within the political and religious class that sees politics and religion as a do-or-die matter, there can't be rest.

It is a shame it has come to a sad point that I switch off when I read this sort riots – it is totally meaningless!

But, we cannot ignore the fact that politics in Nigeria is beyond dirty. It is treated like a zero sum game with no care for the consequence as long as power is achieved. That attitude continues to grow, rather than diminish and spells nothing but trouble for Nigeria's future if it plans to stick with democracy. Furthermore, that attitude could spell trouble for other African countries especially in light of the Kenyan election violence this year. Remember that report that showed Kenya's elite looked at the 2007 Nigerian Presidential elections and apparently used it as a guide resulting in death and destruction.

Vision, is lacking. A true understanding that the actions today will likely complicate things tomorrow.

God help and bless Nigeria.

Anyway, Oz, how body?
