Betrayal and Corruption: Why Nigeria Remains in Crisis

Nigeria remains trapped by the legacy of military rule and high-level betrayal. Generals who escaped justice overseas continue to influence politics at home.

Politics has become a business. Parties lack ideology and politicians jump ship for personal gain. The national cake is their only prize. Foreign terrorists, destabilized by external powers, use Nigeria as a battleground. Both extremist groups and foreign crusaders exploit religious tensions. Meanwhile, global conflicts distract us from tackling these deep-rooted problems.
