“The crisis in Niger needs more attention than our internal crisis” – Ben Murray Bruce

West Africa and especially Nigeria are facing an existential crisis in Niger Republic. This crisis needs the full and undivided attention of our government. We are playing with fire if we don’t approach this issue tactfully. Now is not the time for a nationwide protest. It can ignite a series of unfortunate contagious events in Nigeria that will make the disease the NLC is trying to cure ten times worse. I am not saying the NLC is wrong. I myself am a comrade. I employ over 1000 Nigerians. What I am saying is that the timing is wrong. Very wrong.x
