Nigeria: almost a failed state not quite

    Nigeria is in a state of crisis. I fail to see how "most" Nigerians want democracy, if anything they want peace. Nigeria is plagued with violence from both sides of extremists.  The article that I found is about a bomb attack on a bus that killed 70 people. The commotions happened as commuters were about to enter the bus officials say. According to the article, this attack was planned by islamist militants that are determined to expand their area of operation. This islamist militant group, Boko Harem, has had other successful attacks around the country this year. The president of Nigeria went to the scene and vowed that the country will overcome insurgency. I don't know if this vow by the president of Nigeria will come true. In my opinion there is too much violence and its to deep rooted to ever get rid of or lower it.
