You can't wake Up To Good News In Nigeria - mmounammadu

A comment born from collective frustration read: “Is this place really a country? You can’t wake up to good news. I’m exhausted.” The exhaustion is real, but the statement exposes a deeper issue: hopelessness turning into identity-level rejection.

Nigeria faces painful cycles of insecurity, economic pressure, and governance failures. But when citizens begin questioning the legitimacy of institutions like the Federal Republic itself instead of directing pressure toward accountable bodies such as the Nigerian Police Force, the Presidency, or the National Assembly, fatigue becomes distraction.

Constant pessimism may look like realism, but it breeds paralysis, discourages civic participation, and normalizes despair as national culture. Nations don’t heal through resignation, they improve through persistence backed with strategy, community action, lawful reporting, and coordinated demand for reform.

The red flag is clear: when burnout replaces belief in solutions, we stop fighting systems and start surrendering to silence.
