Insecurity: A Bone In The Throat Of Grassroot Development In Nigeria – Ikechukwu Anyaegbudike
Top Nigerian media entrepreneur, Senior Consultant with Pantum Groups UK and social commentator, Ikechukwu Anyaegbudike has weighed in on issues in Nigeria that are constantly drawing Nigeria backward as a nation.
In a statement made available to the press on Tuesday, the young entrepreneur emphasized on some of the reasons why Nigerians are struggling to find breath in their own motherland. And as a result, Nigeria is losing alot of young talents everyday because the environment is not secure enough to thrive.
“It is quite sad that that insecurity has taken a huge toll in Nigeria and other parts of Africa. Killing, banditry, kidnapping and other satanic devices have bedeviled the peace of the nation. And the problem is, we have refused to look at those little things that make us who we are.
