The comment, “you’ll realise that this country can’t work, hopefully we won’t be like Libya or Zimbabwe soon,” in response to grievances about the EFCC allegedly accepting a bribe from Bobrisky, reflects a deep sense of hopelessness regarding Nigeria’s future. Comparing Nigeria to nations like Libya and Zimbabwe, which have faced severe political and economic crises, the comment suggests fears that Nigeria might follow a similar path of instability.
While corruption and governance issues in Nigeria are concerning, likening the country’s situation to those in deep crisis can be an overstatement. Such comments, though expressing frustration, often deepen pessimism and fuel anxiety without fostering constructive dialogue. Rather than assuming the worst, focusing on accountability and reform can help address the root causes of corruption and improve governance for a more hopeful future.
