Raging Insecurity in Northern Nigeria: Food for thought

One may begin to wonder if the country named Nigeria comprises of only Northern population with the overwhelming and unfortunate marginalization you would observe from the appointments of all the top head of the most important and sensitive positions in the entire country.

However, it still baffles us that not withstanding all these appointments tilting to the North, crime and terrorism still unfortunately pitch its tent in the North.

Just take a look at the appointments below and take note of the states they all came from as against 36 states in Nigeria….
