Northern Nigeria will never know peace until the time Nigeria accepts to talk about the history of violence and bloodshed that has characterized this Nigerian project pre- and post-independence leading to the Civil War and beyond.

Nigerians can be forgiven for failure to understand the necessity of excising those states in 1990. But now, how many millions of lives, how much destruction of property, infrastructure and places of worship will it take to convince skeptics that excision is the only way to stop it.
