Onye Nkuri, a Nigerian based Political and International Affair analyst has said western intervention in Libya is moving Nigeria towards becoming a failed state.

The Social Commentator said this in a series of tweets noting that the West is more likely to accelerate state failure in the Sahel/West Africa, than prevent it.

According to him, Local governance in Northern Nigeria collapsed about 20 – 30 years ago.

He also said for Nigeria, the only people who can prevent the country from falling are the political elite but that they lack the competence & conviction to prevent the country from failing.

His tweets read, “There’s state failure all over the Sahel, and its moving southwards – towards Nigeria,” he said

“It was accelerated by the Western intervention in Libya. So let’s understand that the West is more likely to accelerate state failure in the Sahel/West Africa, than prevent it.”

“Some African states will fail this century – within the next few decades. And most of them will be in the Sahel.”

“The only people who can prevent Nigeria from failing are the Nigerian political elite – but they lack [like (sic)] the competence & conviction to prevent state failure.”
