The rate at which events are piling up is mind-boggling. It is not even the acceleration and intensification of these events that are shattering as much as their content.

Nigeria’s time for national renewal
On
By Rotimi Fasan
It is just January of the year 2021 and a few more days to the end of the month but Nigeria appears to be sinking under the dead weight of its many challenges that have been foundational to her existence as a sovereign nation. From political to economic and health issues, Nigeria has far more to grapple with than its leadership seems able to cope with.
All these problems appear to coalesce under one broad heading: security. Being a Nigerian is increasingly a precarious situation. Life is as insecure as ever and there does not appear to be a solution in sight. The Boko Haram and ISWAP spearheaded insurgency is still ravaging the North. Stretched beyond its utmost limit, the Nigerian military is at its wit’s end as more Nigerians reconcile to the idea of outsourcing the protection of the homeland to foreigners.
