Breaking news reported that ISWAP ambushed the Nigerian Army and abducted a serving Army General. The update was alarming, but one user took it to an extreme, commenting: “It’s a matter of time before bandits and terrorists unite to form a grand alliance that will turn the north into a failed region, sack all the governors, and conquer Abuja. It’s a matter of time.”
This isn’t insight — it’s fear-mongering. While insecurity is a serious national issue, predicting a full collapse of government and a united terrorist takeover only spreads panic. Exaggeration doesn’t help victims or strengthen security efforts; it amplifies hopelessness.
We need calm analysis and accountability, not apocalyptic fantasies.
Nigeria has challenges, but declaring its inevitable downfall solves nothing.
