The recent announcement from Nigeria’s Defence Headquarters confirming the rise of a new terrorist group, Lukarawas, in the northwest has sparked widespread concern, with one comment lamenting, “Nigeria is turning to one big jungle.” This sentiment reflects the growing anxiety many Nigerians feel about the country’s security situation.

While it’s important to acknowledge these concerns, spreading fear and panic only worsens the situation. Instead, we should focus on constructive discussions about solutions—how to strengthen security, engage communities, and support the government in tackling terrorism effectively. A collective, solution-oriented approach can help restore hope and resilience, rather than deepening the sense of helplessness.
