Nigeria Is Gone - iamossy_

Another distressing terror report sparked reactions online, and once again, a comment echoed the bleak verdict: “Nigeria is gone.” It hits with shock because it carries resignation, not context, pointing toward frustration with institutions like the Federal Government of Nigeria, the Nigerian security agencies, and national leadership at large.

But flags need truth and perspective. Declaring any country “gone” because of instability ignores its living constants—citizens, systems, businesses, communities, humanitarian actors, and defenders who still persist. Nations under heavy turmoil globally, including countries like Ukraine, Syria, or even Guinea-Bissau during coups, continued to exist, rebuild, and renegotiate national order—not vanish.

Nigeria is deeply wounded, not finished. Hopeless labeling feeds emotional paralysis more than accountability. Pain should criticize leadership, not bury the nation’s identity or future. As The Red Flags always reminds—a country still fought for by its people can’t be called gone. It can only be called unfinished work
