What the nation can less afford to do is get into stage manged conflict between the West and Russia in any guise.I have difficulty pointing accusing fingers over individuals or group who opt to protect his or herself in fragile and unsafe dangerous environment as Nigeria. Recent history of lack of protection for life and and safety of foreign workers around the nation calls for restraint in enforcement of our gun and small arms laws . There's constant threat to life of foreigners hired to work in various projects in the country and the government have been found to have no answer against these dangerous conditions, to encourage the nations economic activity , foreign workers who prove able to protect themselves must be encouraged to do so. This means some tactical review about our gun laws to manage Jonathan's' broken government .
