The Niger Delta is becoming more volatile and the Dullard President isn't concerned. I'm so sorry for his government. Unlike Boko Haram, the Niger Delta militants are capable of bringing the country to its knee. Buhari should stop chasing shadows in the name of fighting corruption and focus on how to resolve the Niger Delta restiveness. He should also begin the process of diversification of the economy so that we won't rely solely on oil in 5-10 years time.
