- Description
- From insecurity to political dysfunction, Nigeria is facing interconnected crises that shape daily life. This editorial explores the human and systemic costs of widespread kidnapping, the business model behind ransoms, and the role of public institutions in perpetuating dysfunction.
We examine how citizens navigate persistent insecurity, the social pressures on men and women in modern households, and the responsibilities of influential voices in shaping culture and behaviour. The discussion also highlights challenges within electoral institutions, particularly INEC, and the vital role of integrity in ensuring credible elections.
Through vivid examples and hard-hitting analysis, we ask: Can individuals stand against systemic compromise? How does weak governance affect democracy, public trust, and economic resilience? And what must change for Nigeria to transform survival into prosperity?
