The best geologist, they say, "is the one who has seen the most rocks". One begins to wonder the future of geological mapping in the state of rising insecurity in Nigeria. The pleasure and associated leisure of field studies/work is becoming life threatening largely because of the neglect of securing life and properties. Who will rise to the call and save our profession. On one hand, its as though, its the farmers that are most hit, on the other, look closely, geosciences is largely hit by this ugly development.... pls what are your thoughts
