Is Nigeria cursed, or are we the curse?

The past 10 days in Nigeria have witnessed unprecedented negative news, a level of chaos, insecurity, and institutional decay that should trouble the conscience of all the leaders.

Our country is now going through troubling times, not by fate, but by our collective leadership failures that allow insecurity, lawlessness, and institutional decay to thrive.

Each day confronts us with a new tragedy and a new reminder that our beloved country is drifting amid a clear absence of competent, compassionate, responsive and responsible leadership.

We have all watched a nation blessed with people of strength and resilience drift into avoidable disorder. We should be asking ourselves: Are we cursed, or are we the curse?

The past 10 Days in Nigeria

1.11/11/25 – 6 senior directors from the Ministry of Defence were kidnapped along the Kogi axis, reminding us that even those tasked with securing our nation are no longer safe.

2.15/11/25 – A senior military officer, a Brigadier General, was brutally executed, a grave signal of the danger engulfing both civilians and security personnel.

3.16/11/25 – 64 civilians, including women and children, were abducted in Zamfara, with innocent lives also lost in the attack.

4.17/11/25 – 25 schoolgirls, young children with dreams and innocence, were abducted in Kebbi and their Vice Principal was killed, adding to the heartbreaking list of attacks on our nation's future.

5. 18/11/25 – Worshippers praying peacefully in a church in Kwara State were violently disrupted, with some killed and about 38 abducted. A place of worship, meant to be a sanctuary, became a scene of fear.

6. 18/11/25 – A disturbing crisis unfolded at the PDP Wadata Plaza headquarters. Instead of de-escalation, elements within the security agencies worsened the situation and further instigated it. Rather than focusing on protecting citizens, the government watched with amusement, encouraging the destruction of political parties and the weakening of our democracy.

7. 18/11/25 – During the All Nigeria Judges’ Conference, judges who should embody neutrality and integrity were seen standing as the APC partisan song “On Your Mandate We Shall Stand” played ahead of the President’s address. This troubling moment further eroded public trust in institutions expected to protect the rule of law.

8. 19/11/25 – Soldiers heading to rescue the Kebbi State abducted schoolgirls were ambushed, showing once again how undersupported our security forces have become.

9. 21/11/25 – Nigerians awoke to the devastating news that over 300 schoolchildren and 12 teachers were abducted from a Catholic school in Niger State.

10.22/11/25 – Bandits opened fire on farmers in Kaduna killing one of them.

11.23/11/25- Terrorists Ambush, Gun Down 5 Police Officers, Injure 2 in Sabon Sara, Darazo LGA, Bauchi State

November 23, 2025

And just as I was speaking about this, I received yet another devastating report about the abduction of 13 female farmers in Askira-Uba LGA of Borno State today by suspected Boko Haram/ISWAP Terrorists.

No serious nation survives on excuses, indifference, or absentee leadership.

What we are witnessing is not inevitable, it is the direct consequence of we the leaders not valuing human life.

Nigeria is bleeding because those elected to protect the nation have chosen comfort over courage, politics over people, and power over purpose.

We the leaders must remember that governance is not a title, it is a duty to protect every child, every community, and every citizen.

We need competence, compassion, and a government that shows up when it matters the most.

To every Nigerian shaken in these past 10 days, my heart is with you.

You deserve safety, you deserve peace.

We deserve a government that values our lives above politics.
Nigeria must rise again.

A New Nigeria is POssible.

2 million dollars questions that may not be answered soon by this present government or leadership even though they know the answer.

The two questions are actually the answers to what you are asking.
You cannot use all manners of state banditry to loot power and still expect a political rollercoaster. No naaaaw!

You use the electoral system and judicial system to steal another man's mandate and still want to have a very happy feast day? No naaaaw!

What you see ravaging the country today is a boomerang, in Gumi's own voice is a revenge mission.
I am not happy for the genocide and loss of life but it is what it is. Oda!

Someone allowed bandits in the country to be on standby should he lost the election in 2015, and a particular tribe supported him and labeled other tribes haters of the country now see what their foolishness have brought upon this nation

Urban bandits are sleeping in Aso Rock while Their foot soldiers used in process of Snatched grabbed and run with power have hijacked the forest.
Nemo Da Quod Nonhabet - nobody give what he does not have, it's beyond Emilokun.


If this country must work there has to be justice for everyone.

Evil politicians, political sycophants and religious bigots, fanatics and zombies are the problem of Nigeria.

Well it's what happens when you support a leadership that keeps your economy dependent on resources as we have done for decades since independence

At the end , no jobs , no way to make a decent living, result is anarchic rule.

We are not cursed. I don't know about Peter Obi though because his behavior lately is looking so

Only God can help us answer that.

Watch the minions being paid stipend to be senseless would leave the message and cuss the messenger.

They said that a great number of Nigerians don't ask questions and that they have quite short memories. Those two attributes alone could resemble any people look accursed even if not actually so

The same question he asked in Anambra before he changed the face of governance there

The truth is "we" are the ones cursed.... Just move Nigerians to Norway,Japan, Germany or any other sane country and move the citizens of that country to Nigeria and you'll be amazed at the rate Nigerians would bastardize that already well built country and system and how the mostly sane Citizens would transform this geographical location called Nigeria in the blink of an eye.

Some region may be cursed.

And they know themselves

Honestly, Obi is asking the right question — but let’s not pretend this sudden “10-day awakening” happened in a vacuum.
Nigeria didn’t suddenly become chaotic last week; the system has been rotten for YEARS under every administration, including the ones Obi himself campaigned for in the past.

Yes, leadership has failed… but let’s be real:
the same political class rotating power every election can’t suddenly separate themselves from the decay they helped build.

So maybe the real question isn’t whether Nigeria is cursed —
it’s whether all our leaders, past and present, are just rewriting the same script and expecting applause.

If we’re being brutally honest, the curse didn’t fall on Nigeria.
The curse is the political culture — and everyone who has benefited from it, not just the people currently in power.

Chief lamenter of the year.

is negative news not what you crave for

You lament without offering solution.

You said the FG should not have arrested an international terrorist.

What is wrong with you self

Every leader we have had in this country has been a product of the system. Until we fix the system, we will keep recycling these same leaders.

Mr. Peter Obi. Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, Arakunrin Akeredolu. Orisirisi.

Watch how 🤔 some people will twist this legitimate question because it came from Peter Obi.

Nigeria is not cursed but those supporting this cruel government are the one cursed

Nigeria: Beautiful Country, terrible people.

Nigeria is not cursed.

Nigeria gave an opportunity to a certain Peter Obi to make a difference as governor of Anambra. On all metrics of leadership, he failed.

He chronicles kidnapping and death, but pointedly insisted that someone who inflicted terrorism on Ndigbo should never have been arrested.

Peter Obi is also a merchant of falsehood. He once lied that Nigeria was implementing three budgets in 2025. He just lied again that judges sang "On your mandate" song. If Peter Obi cannot prove where judges sang that song, then he curses himself.

To answer his question "Is Nigeria cursed or we are the curse", the answer is "Nigeria is not cursed, but certain individuals who lie for a living are cursed to lie more".

My man said Dog and Baboon would bleed. Said things that lead to the loss of lives of numerous NYSC persons and them bring am in to bring change to Nigeria

The leaders, minions and bots are cursed. The land is still okay. Chop mango, drop seed and come back 5years to meet a mango tree

Nigeria is being held captive by witches and wizards in the political space since independence says the Lord.

Solution: Every soul in that country must repent from their wicked ways.

If few genuine men of God can gather themselves together and speak fire by intercessory prayers and fasting, that nation Nigeria will witness light and total turn around in this generation and beyond.

Nigerians are the problems, not Nigeria. Our people are very corrupt! We don't have honest people. Everyone is out for what they can pocket dishonestly. Above all, you see that werey called Lord Luggard...he no go rest well 😡

once u are a leader in nigeria the thing embraces u

dederocs:
Evil politicians, political sycophants and religious bigots, fanatics and zombies are the problem of Nigeria.

Look around you and see if the citizens (majority) are any different.

Nooooo....The terrorists are our brothers. Let's keep fooling ourselves. The chickens are finally coming home to roost.
