Nigeria doesn’t need prayers. It needs accountability

The streets hum with the restless rhythm of survival. In Lagos, the danfo buses still weave through traffic like yellow bees, their conductors shouting destinations over the blare of horns. In Kano, traders haggle under the weight of a sun that feels hotter each year. In the creeks of the Niger Delta, oil still seeps into the water, staining the hands of fishermen who once pulled silver from the depths.
But beneath the noise and colour, there is a quiet wound.
It is in the mother who clutches her child tighter when gunfire cracks in the distance.
It is in the graduate who scrolls endlessly through job boards, his degree gathering dust.
It is in the farmer who watches his crops wither, not from lack of will, but from the absence of support.
The nation’s heart green and white, beats on, but the stitches holding it together strain with every unkept promise, every stolen naira, every silence from those meant to speak.
Some say the problem is leadership. Others say it is the people themselves. But the truth is simpler, and harder: we have all become too used to the bleeding.
Yet, there is another truth. Wounds can heal. Stitches can hold. A heart can be mended but only if the hands that reach for it are steady, honest, and many.
Nigeria is not beyond repair. But repair will not come from prayers alone. It will come from conscience the kind that refuses to look away, the kind that demands better, the kind that acts. ............Because this land is ours. And it is ours to mend


Do you agree?

Did you know? And these instability are caused by who? Your guess is as good as ours!!!!
