The value for human life in Nigeria is ebbing at an alarming rate. It has been argued in some quarters that the life of a cow in most instances in the country is more important than human life.

Killing of innocent citizens in the country has become ritual that the news of souls being mowed in this senseless war do not come to many as surprise because it has become a tradition.
