[Kingsley Moghalu OON @MoghaluKingsley]

The breakdown of internal security and the reign of terror in Nigeria is evidence of: (a) the absence of nationhood, where primordial vested interests combine with corrupt incentives to achieve power, dominance, and primitive wealth accumulation - loyalty to religion and tribe trumps loyalty to the Nigerian state; b) the absence of governance, which has been made subordinate to politics - the first condition for good governance is a secure environment; (c) a failing state - state capacity requires security of life and property as its first condition, i.e. full control by state authorities over the territorial state - no ungoverned spaces.

All of this feeds into a major root cause of the terrorism besetting Nigeria - a global network of terror that spans far beyond Nigeria and is driving in a “clash of civilizations” and a struggle for dominance between jihadist ideology and secular governance models. Only strong, internally cohesive nations can withstand this onslaught. Mere countries will have a hard time.

If we do not address the question of whether Nigeria is in fact a nation rather than a country, and if not, how to achieve nationhood including with a constitutional redesign, we won’t solve the security challenge. Root causes, not shadow-chasing.

In my interview on Monday (two days ago) with @ARISEtv anchor @charlesaniagolu I argue strongly that the path to overcoming the onslaught of terrorism in Nigeria in the one almost no one talks about - the absence of real nationhood, how this undermines national security, and what to do about it. No waffle. No shuffle. Watch.

Brilliant interview as always from my favourite Nigerian intellectual, brings clear eyed and deep analysis with focus on the real causes of things and the kind of thinking that will lead us to real solutions 👏👏👏

Not only did they land a Bombardier Challenger 601 on a road, but they also took off from the same road without notifying ATC. What was so urgent that they had to take such risks?? Who or what did they pick up, and how much were they paid? Nigeria is a mad place!

When Russia hosted the World Cup in 2018, it had to suspend normal visa rules for the tournament. Foreigners with tickets could enter visa-free, using a scheme called ‘Fan ID.’

Russia also had to do weird stuff to keep FIFA’s sponsors happy. For example, small shops near Fan Zones and stadiums could only sell Budweiser beer on match days.

So yes, FIFA absolutely does dictate conditions to host governments when it suits FIFA. Infantino pretending otherwise is nonsense.

Nigeria continues to face fundamental security challenges because we continue to postpone the real solutions: a focus on governance over politics- and an understanding that good governance is the best politics - anchored on a serious redesign of Nigeria. Call it restructuring. Call it whatever you will. But until power is devolved far more to Nigeria’s regions (better, because this creates economies of scale) or states, with control over natural resources and anything between 30-40% of resources therefrom contributed to the central government for federal functions, we are simply deferring our deliverance. “Unity” without security and real development is an illusion. State police is urgent, but it’s only part of what needs to be done for Nigeria to work for its people rather than just for politicians. This is the real agenda after the 2027 elections. Unfortunately, it’s still an elite conversation and the people are not educated enough to stand up for #restructuring.

Supporting bad governance because it benefits you today is a dangerous gamble.

Many think they can dine with the devil using a long spoon. Sooner or later, the spoon disappears, and they realise they were never exempt from the consequences.

A broken system eventually serves everyone the same meal.
