The abduction of the Chibok girls in 2014 triggered a global movement. One school abduction was enough to unite Nigerians, attract international attention, and place enormous pressure on the government through the #BringBackOurGirls campaign.
Yet, what has happened since then should trouble every Nigerian.
Under President Buhari's eight years in office, Nigeria witnessed about ten school abductions. Under President Tinubu's administration, in just three years, we have already recorded over ten school abductions.
Despite these repeated tragedies, there has been neither sustained national outrage nor significant international attention comparable to what followed Chibok.
This raises an important question: have we become so accustomed to insecurity that what once shocked our national conscience is now treated as normal?
At a time when millions of Nigerians are grappling with insecurity, poverty, and hardship, it is deeply troubling that those in power appear more focused on political calculations and preparations for the next election than on addressing the urgent challenges confronting our people.
It is, therefore, no surprise that some observers have labelled us a "Now Disgraced Nation". While we do not agree with any attempt to define our great country by its present difficulties, we must acknowledge that persistent insecurity, economic hardship, and leadership failure have damaged our reputation and standing among nations.
The answer is not denial, propaganda, or political distraction. The answer is leadership that is competent, compassionate, accountable, and genuinely committed to the welfare and security of the Nigerian people.
The Nigerian youth must not become indifferent. We must all refuse to normalise failure.
Young Nigerians - Take back your country!

Watch this video guys!!!
People are calling out Soludo for sending his men to come and destroy the road constructed by Tony Nwonye.
I want every Onye Anambra to take this matter up!
This is the type of madness cannot be allowed to continue!
Besides the fact that GUO has a track record of safety, they stood by us when we marched to Awkwuzu SARS in 2020 & sent free buses to pick up stranded & confused protestors after we were shot at.
Posterity will always be kind to them and their brand will forever blossom.
Love them, hate them, the Arsenal is emotional. They make you feel something. They make you care.
Whether you’re rooting for them or against them, you can’t ignore them. And that’s my football club.
Goodnight. ❤️
🚨Rice “Mikel is gutted but he spoke about how much he loves us. I think we have come so far as a club. When I came to this club it was a QF exit then a Semi Final exit and now a final exit. One more step and we go again.
One thing about us, this wont define us.
We will be back”
You can disagree with government policies, that is perfectly fine, that is democracy. People are frustrated, things are hard, and no one should pretend otherwise. But we also need to be honest with ourselves. Nigeria did not get to this point overnight. Many of the problems we complain about today have been building up for years, poor decisions, delayed reforms, weak systems, overdependence on oil, and a habit of avoiding hard choices.
The truth is, there is never a “good time” to fix deep problems. Tough decisions will always come with discomfort. We can debate whether the approach is right or wrong, and government should absolutely be held accountable, but expecting decades of problems to disappear in a short time is not realistic. Nobody enjoys hardship, but sometimes the real question is whether the country is finally trying to deal with the root of the problem instead of just managing symptoms. Time will tell, but we owe ourselves honest conversations, not just anger.
Sesko will score more Premier League goals than Gyokeres, Ekitike, Joao Pedro and Delap.
Save this tweet and come back to call me a fool in May, 2026 if it doesn’t happen.
