A young man’s story — imprisoned for 10 years without trial after being arrested at just 12 — highlights deep flaws in our justice system. While outrage is justified, a comment like “Nigeria will never stand up again” replaces constructive criticism with hopelessness. Such defeatist statements can discourage reform and overshadow the work of those striving to make change happen. The focus should be on fixing what’s broken: ensuring speedy trials, decongesting prisons, and holding authorities accountable. Change may be slow, but writing off the country entirely only fuels despair instead of progress. Solutions, not surrender, should lead the conversation.
