Insecurity in Nigeria does not choose religion. Christians, Muslims, and even traditional worshippers have all been victims of terrorism, banditry, and violence. So why single out Christians only, when the problem affects everyone? This is a national tragedy, not a religious competition. #NigeriaSecurity #Insecurity #StopTheKillings #OneNigeria
