A court recently ordered the remand of an activist charged for allegedly insulting Seyi Tinubu and IGP Egbetokun in a Facebook video, sparking debates around freedom of speech and the limits of online expression. In response, a comment read, “Nigeria is dead completely.”
While this sentiment echoes frustration felt by many, such statements oversimplify complex issues and offer no path forward. Declaring Nigeria “dead” dismisses the efforts of individuals striving for progress in challenging circumstances. Instead of resigning to despair, it’s essential to engage constructively, advocate for justice, and push for accountability.
