| Nigeria's unity is held at GUNPOINT - The Guardian |
One of the leading newspapers in Nigeria has posited that the unity of Nigeria is held at gunpoint. This damning verdict was expressed in an editorial recently published by the Guardian editorial board. A FACT of Nigeria’s democratic experience in the last 16 years is that every new political administration springs forth a new uprising from disenchanted interest groups. Such seems to be the case of the Muhammadu Buhari administration and the recent series of protests by youths of South eastern extraction seeking secession from Nigeria and demanding the unconditional release of Nnamdi Kalu, the detained director of the pirate Radio Biafra.
