It is no longer news to hear of military violence in Nigeria and it is always between the army and another arm of the force, especially the Police; it is no longer strange to see soldiers harassing civilians, especially when they are in convoy or they find a civilian wearing casual camouflage accessories even though it is legal to wear it. It is now common site to see the Nigerian...
To understand Nigeria, you must throw away notions like certainty and consensus. Instand, you have to accept you are entering a world where all truth is relative, all fats are transient and what seems to be the most visceral and bloody reality can ultimately be revealed as artifice.
