Nigeria: A Nation of Strong Believers - By Bishop Mathew Kukah of Sokoto Diocese
"A Christian woman went to her own parish Church in Bauchi and tried to set it ablaze... a man alleged to be a Christian, dressed as a Muslim, went to burn down a Church in Bayelsa. In Plateau State, a man purported to be a Christian was arrested while trying to bomb a Church. Armed men gunned down a group of Christians meeting in a Church and now it turned out that those who have been arrested and are under interrogation are in fact not Muslims and that the story is more of an internal crisis. In Zamfara State, 19 Muslims were killed. After investigation it was discovered that those who killed them were not Christians."

Confessions of Hardliners on Fuel Subsidy Removal
President Jonathan should summon the courage to fight and punish corrupt criminals looting the system through the so-called fuel subsidy and attend to genuine advice from patriotic Nigerians rather than listening to singsongs from ethnic jingoists using his name to create divisions and disharmony in the polity. Though sectional leaders have the right to prove their love for their 'son-of-the soil' but Goodluck Jonathan is not a tribal leader but a Nigeria's President.Read: http://economicconfidential.net/new/features/892-confessions-of-hardliners-on-fuel-subsidy-removal
Oil subsidy, Government & Labour unions - The sweet-bitter pill.
The furore that has been ongoing about the removal of subsidy has shown the dogmatism, hypocrisy and inability of the key players and so-called stake-holders to articulate the key facts of the situation and proffer a solution.
