What haven't the recent wanton bomb blasts done in this country? Nothing. Now, everything is going bad. People are running from the north, the press now have many things to write about, the country's image is in tatters, economic activities (in the north, at least) are in a near-standstill, politicians have seen a new means of scoring cheap points, nobody goes to a drinking joint anymore (for those who enjoy drinking), people even worship in churches (or mosques) with a foot outside.
If these are considered trivial, then suggestions that the recent visit of British Prime Minister, David Cameron, to Lagos, and not Abuja, was for fear of insecurity in the capital, cannot be considered bleak.
President Jonathan's aide, Reuben Abati, denied it as expected. But I feel that's the reason.
That the nation's capital could be ignored in favour of Lagos, and the president flew all the way to meet him, because it was an already scheduled ''working visit'', cannot be denied as mere business visit.
In positive terms, that is a fantastic diplomatic move by Nigeria, because we can't defend a bomb attack on someone like Cameron.
This shows how bad things have gone. Nigeria is in a rotten state, and we need to have a change of heart, to clean it up.
