The year 2013 is only hours away, yet no respite in sight for the many Nigerians daily tormented by the terror called Boko Haram. Will the new year be different?
Nigeria's information minister, Labaran Maku, is quoted as saying that the government hopes to stamp out the insurgence in the new year.
"What is clear is that in the year 2013, tremendous success was made and most of the insurgents that infiltrated into other states from the North East when the pressure went there were picked up. Some were picked up as far away as Lagos and Ogun and a number of them are in detention and trial is going on gradually," he said.
No doubt, the government has made little success. A lot remains to be done. Thousands of Nigerians are now refugees in Cameroun. For many of them the fear of Boko Haram seems the beginning of wisdom.
