Is Nigeria Cursed, or Are We the Curse? — Obi Laments Over Insecurity

Peter Obi, the Labour Party’s 2023 presidential candidate, has decried the country’s worsening insecurity in a heartfelt post. Listing abductions and attacks over the past ten days—including kidnappings of Defence officials, students, worshippers, and farmers—Obi argues Nigeria’s “chaos” is due to collective leadership failures that have allowed lawlessness and violence to thrive. Obi claims no one, not even those tasked with security, is safe and warns that leaders have chosen “comfort over courage, politics over people, and power over purpose.” He insists the tragedies facing Nigerians—school abductions, attacks on worshippers, and erosion of democratic institutions—are not inevitable, but the result of failed governance. Calling for urgent reform, Obi says Nigeria must rise above indifference and excuses, and leaders must protect every community, child, and citizen. “You deserve safety, you deserve peace,” he concludes, urging Nigerians to demand a competent, compassionate […]

Catholic Archbishop Martins to Tinubu: Act Fast, Nigeria Descending Into Chaos

The Catholic Archbishop of Lagos, Alfred Adewale Martins, has publicly urged President Tinubu to respond decisively to the surge in terrorist attacks and insecurity across Nigeria, warning the country is descending into chaos.

Soyinka Faults Trump’s Threat: “Madness to Help with Guns a-Blazing”

Nobel laureate Wole Soyinka has condemned President Donald Trump’s threat of a US military invasion of Nigeria over alleged “Christian genocide,” describing the proposed intervention as “madness.” Soyinka, after meeting Benue’s Governor Hyacinth Alia, stated to journalists that offering “help” with “guns a-blazing” and poor understanding of complex crises is reckless and disrespectful to victims and those seeking genuine solutions. Trump had previously threatened to halt US aid and send troops to Nigeria to “wipe out the Islamic terrorists” if attacks on Christians continued. Soyinka argued that such an approach disregards the origins and complexities of insecurity in Nigeria, insisting on the need for thoughtful, respectful engagement and for local authorities to fulfill their duties to citizens. Soyinka urged international partners to respect Nigeria’s sovereignty and urged government leaders to keep working on solutions rooted in careful analysis, rather than […]
