A viral video showing travelers facing gunshots while moving from Lagos toward Kwara sparked fear and concern online. Citizens questioned the presence of Nigerian armed forces and the response of the security agencies.
One comment read: “Where are the Nigerian armed forces? We can all agree Nigeria is a failed country.”
The comment falls under national criticism, reflecting frustration with the Federal Government of Nigeria regarding insecurity. However, stating that the country is “failed” because of one crisis moment dismisses the reality that Nigeria still functions in many areas—education, business, communities, and people still pushing for solutions.
A country struggling with terror isn’t automatically a failed one. It is a country under pressure, needing reform and accountability from the right authorities—not a signed agreement of collapse. Criticism should fuel solutions, not erase identity. Nigeria isn’t failed, it’s being tested.
