West African Youth Under Pressure: Jobs, Security, And Voice

Across West Africa, many young people feel they did everything right but still cannot see a clear future. They go to school, learn skills, and hustle every day, yet they face joblessness, insecurity, and leaders who seem distant from their struggles. This experience is common in Nigeria, Ghana, and Togo, even though their political and economic situations are different. Data and recent events show that youth frustration is not just emotional, but grounded in real hardship and broken promises. Nigeria: hustling through crisis In Nigeria, many young people wake up every day thinking about how to survive, not just how to succeed. They combine formal education with informal work, like riding motorbikes, doing deliveries, or selling online, while facing a weak currency, high fuel prices, and constant security threats. Afrobarometer findings for 2024–2025 show that young Nigerians aged 18 to […]

Insecurity: US to review aid, humanitarian assistance to Nigeria

The United States government is set to review its financial aid and humanitarian assistance to Nigeria amid growing concerns over insecurity and violence in the country. The move follows new proposals in the US Congress that seek to tie parts of American support to clear security and human rights benchmarks. Lawmakers on the US House Appropriations Committee have advanced a State Department funding bill that would place stricter conditions on assistance to Nigeria. Under the proposed framework, up to 50 per cent of certain funds could be withheld until the US Secretary of State certifies that Nigeria is taking “effective steps” to curb violence and protect civilians. The bill also pushes for stronger accountability measures, including investigations and prosecutions of armed groups and security personnel implicated in abuses. It directs Nigerian authorities to prioritise support for victims, especially internally displaced […]

Army arrests 10 terror suspects, rescues kidnap victims in North Central

The operations were carried out under various internal security deployments aimed at tackling banditry, kidnapping and other violent crimes in the region. According to a statement by the Army, the suspects were picked up in separate raids on criminal hideouts following credible intelligence. Troops also engaged armed gangs in firefights that forced the criminals to flee and abandon some of their captives. In one of the operations, soldiers rescued at least three kidnap victims who had been held in a forest location. The victims were taken into military care for medical checks before being reunited with their families. The Army said the renewed push is part of a broader offensive to dismantle terrorist and kidnapping networks in North […]

Baba Ahmed says Tinubu is disconnected from Nigerians’ hardship

Hakeem Baba Ahmed, former Special Adviser on political matters to Vice President Kashim Shettima, says President Bola Tinubu is disconnected from the hardship many Nigerians are facing.​ Speaking on The Morning Show, he faulted Tinubu’s recent remarks suggesting that those who do not see progress under his administration are biased or unable to recognise development. The president had joked that critics who cannot see hope in his policies may need “jigi bola” eyeglasses.​ Baba Ahmed said such comments raise serious questions about how aware the government is of current economic and security realities. He argued that no leader living in Nigeria and seeing the level of poverty and lack of accountability should expect citizens to applaud their performance.​ The national chairman of the Peoples Redemption Party insisted that the administration’s reforms have not translated into better living conditions. According to […]
