What is unique about the Nigerian specific circumstantial is the revolving nature, quintessentially Nigerian. Prior to Madam Okonji's kidnapping, question going round the circles had been centered on the wisdom to punish the suffering citizens instead of making it hard to allow those who caused all of the nations mayhem live peacefully among those whose lives they have ruined. At a time when Ngozi have chosen the road of wisdom to fight from inside to alleviate the suffering of her countrymen/women , we have another quagmire to wonder the wisdom of these kidnapers to reign in on her mother . Every citizen seem to have lost hope on Jonathan and his men capacity to deliver on numerous promises while the national expenditure keep escalating beyond reason. Look at Obama's brilliant fight to set his nation on track in the next four years, it's an exemplary audacity to accomplish the peoples will in practical form worth emulation .
