Nigeria is facing significant challenges, including rising insecurity, economic hardship, unemployment, weak infrastructure, declining public trust, and institutional weaknesses. These issues are attributed to decades of poor policy choices, weak governance, corruption, and inconsistent policy implementation. According to Nairametrics, these structural warning signs require urgent attention as many of the challenges are self-inflicted.

Inspector General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has assured Nigerians that attacks on schools will soon come to an end. He emphasized that corruption and a lack of patriotism are significant threats to national security, according to former DSS chief Amachree Linus Aleke, who spoke in Abuja and Laleye Dipo in Minna.

A call has been made to General Yakubu Gowon, a former Head of State, to organize a special national prayer for Nigeria in response to ongoing insecurity issues in the country, according to Yinka Kolawole in Osogbo.

Senator Oshiomhole has proposed a concept he refers to as a ‘balance of madness’ in Nigeria’s foreign policy to address ongoing xenophobic attacks against Nigerians in South Africa. This proposal aims to counter the persistent violence and discrimination faced by Nigerians abroad, particularly in South Africa.

Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has criticized President Tinubu's administration for attributing the issues of insecurity and economic hardship to Nigerians. He argues that it is unjust to place the blame on the citizens for these challenges.

According to Daily Trust, Nigeria is facing a critical juncture regarding the establishment of state police, as the Tinubu administration intensifies its efforts to decentralize policing across the federation. Advocates argue for the benefits of state police, but concerns about the implications of such a move are also being raised, suggesting that the nation may not yet be ready for this change.
