Nigeria Is In A State Of Anarchy - Chioma Philipa

The term “Govt of anarchy,” used in response to a journalist being declared wanted, reflects deep frustration with perceived government failures and oppression. While it captures anger, such labels can escalate tensions, polarize the public, and erode trust in institutions.

Calling the government anarchic discourages productive dialogue, alienates moderates, and reduces complex issues to oversimplified narratives. This extreme rhetoric can foster hopelessness rather than driving meaningful change.

Constructive criticism, focused on specific problems and solutions, is more effective in pushing for accountability and reform without closing off dialogue or progress.
