Times and seasons have past. In these present times, It looks like each day in Nigeria comes with its own series of complexities, distractions, and troubles. Sometimes, I look back with an immeasurable level of nostalgic feelings to how life used to be in the 80s and 90s. I don't really call people born in those eras millennials, I call them the last set of people who witnessed a peaceful and socially balanced Nigeria.

Even though those eras were mostly characterized by military administrations, we still had a decent level of sanity in the society.

SECURITY: In the 80s and 90s, you could literally travel from Warri to Kaduna, without knowing anyone, and still find a decent place to sleep. A young man could easily travel from Akure to Owerri, without knowing anyone, and still find someone who would assist with accommodation.

Today, Nigerians cannot travel from one part of the country to another without praying and fasting. In these times, travelling by night is like a suicide mission. Something we used to do previously. We used to move from Warri to Bauchi on night buses from 1993 to 1997. In 1999, Brazilian ex-football star, Ronadinho Gaucho and his teammates toured northern Nigeria. Can that happen today?

SOCIAL LIFE AND EDUCATION: Before the advent of kidnapping, organ harvesting, internet fraud, etc, young people had a better social life. Today, people are extra careful with one another. We have heard and seen too many cases of dismembered bodies of young women in gutters, drainages, septic tanks, and on roadsides.

The things we place value on today is sometimes shocking. From the early 90s to the early part of 2000s, it was a milestone to aspire and gain admission to study in the university. Today, it is a milestone to purchase a 50,000,000 Naira Benz at the age of 17, with no known source of income.

The most lethal problems of Nigeria are multifaceted. They cut across religion, ethnicity, value system, culture, and both the old and the young in the society. And like I stated initially, as the days roll by, the demons eating into the fabric of the society multiply.

If we could have a generation of old people who are not sympathetic towards the young and the unborn generations, and a set of young people who neither understand their collective roles in the society nor concerned about real changes in the system, I wonder what the future generations would turn out to be.

Thats what you get when insecurity meets poor economy

Your last paragraph shows the warped way you see things. You talked about things getting better, right? I laugh. Things get better when people in authority do things differently that will improve situations. But here, we have same people doing things even worse than the way they have been done, and you are still adding 'things getting better' in your statements? You must be sleeping.

On the crime aspect, you need to read this book

This Present Darkness: A history of Nigerian organised crime.

Also, the funny thing is that back in the 1980's , Nigerians were remembering the 1960's and before with fondness as the really good old days...

Originalsly:
"Islamic jihad" is the shout of one who does not think for himself but serves as an echo ... repeating what he heard...does not understand and therefore cannot defend what he's saying.

Let me ask ..... would you expect an Islamic jihadist to be killing Muslims or Christians? Do you know that less than 6 of victims are Christians? ...more than 90% are Muslims? How do you explain this? This should make us ask ourselves who really are these terrorists?...and what do they really want? Because of this....I believe this is not about religion..... it is about terrorizing people in certain areas to get them off the land. I guessed the insecurity is sponsored by foreigners who likely want to exploit the natural resources of the land. I saw a post that makes a whole lot of sense. Bill Gates and his people are behind it.What....Who??
They are after the farm lands...... targeting farming communities ...the North .... drive away the farmers...destroy their crops ...create a food shortage.... then when the farms are abandoned due to the insecurity...they step in to "help" by providing GMO seeds to restart the crops. Who controls the seeds controls the food....controls the people. He has the technology to introduce disrupters to our body systems through the modified crops. Depopulation is very much alive. The insecurity in the agri belt... a stage in the agenda

Don't be mischievous. Islamic jihadists territorists and their killings are our greatest problem now, of course their victims is anyone, but that is the bad omen plaguing Nigeria now. Islamic jihadism is a curse to Nigeria.

Kindly by sense,its not expensive

Kindly seek comprehensive phyco-dogma laboratory medical checkup, its available in Aro, Abeokuta, Ogun State, backyard of the political village man responsible for it, and ready to pay the bills.

Alaigbo:
That is because peter obi is criminal n failure n not an option.

Keep using different accounts to respond. Shows how low you can descend to.

That is how you identify them. They cannot engage in meaningful arguments without name calling and small cheap partisan talks.

Democracy came: freedom of speech destroyed us, no fear in posting things that erode values on social media , no one fears anyone. A home that has no one to be feared becomes shattered Values declined badly, respects gone, love lost, humanity disappeared, societal values nosedived, lives became worthless, youths reasoning eroded, citizens only direct their anger's towards just a section leaving others- focused solely of the federal while the stage governors who are stakeholders in the creation and abhorring of the problems are neglected,

Love for money increases, patriotism died
Finally ,' selfishness and lack of deep reasoning has given us less effective leadership and less virile followership.
We are just starting except the youths change there's no future.

I remember those days taking excursions as students as UNI-Students all the way to Kano in a NIGHT BUS with no problems.

Glad I witnessed it.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Blame OBJ! Father of Nigerian WOWOCRACY!😀

Bereavement of reasoning on clear matter has been researchically attributed to political psychosis, not necessarily by religion bigot.
So, the inflatable, compounded and multifaceted hardship in Nigerian's lives at present is jihadism's fault, curse or cause?

Many people here are countering the OP.

So if i may ask, "Which year or era was nigeria even better sef?"

Religion and tribalism divided us and corruption killed us

Anything APC touches becomes ashes. Since APC came on board, Nigeria has been bleeding terribly. Somebody would argue that terrorism started during Jonathan's government, so who imported terrorists because he wanted to take over by force and make the country ungovernable for Jonathan? Was it not an APC candidate?

Alaigbo:
Exactly as there was no killing under Ebele Jonathan

All the killings under OBJ, BUhari, Gej are not up to the number of deaths under BAT in just 3 years and all that matter to him is 2027

TO DO WHAT EXACTLY?

Rapmoney:
Why are you so timid? Anyone who talks about Nigeria's issues is automatically a Peter Obi supporter to you. I rather argue with a child in Pry 3 from a village school than argue with you. Bye.

You're so pained that i mentioned the Pit Obi, even a Pry 3 kid would notice. Run along mr timi.

Tales by moonlight for the gullible youngsters. There has never really been a time where the general masses enjoyed a good time in Nigeria. Individuals have experienced their own good moments based on their connections in society

That Nigeria is gone forever

I appreciate people comment greatly, some of us have said and mentioned vital point that need to be look into greatly which need not to. be contested.
But my own addition is this, government need to study Abrahams Maslow hierarchy of needs, any society that can not meet the physiological needs of her population which are basic needs can not escape from what we are experienced so far, government need to tackle food crisis, accommodation, health care, once all this are done corruption will reduce drastically, reason people going extra mile us to satisfy physiological needs.

Rapmoney:
The thread is not for people born in 2005. You must not comment in every post you see. When you see posts that are above your mental comprehension, just move on.

Excellent !

There was a country 🇳🇬 😭

Things are just regressing on a fast lane in Nigeria.

Inflation and high costs of living are sky rocketing daily.

I fear in the nearest future that this country may break up into fragments unless strong divine intervention.

Let's keep praying 🙏 for 🇳🇬 .

It all started from Goodluck

Apc happened to nigeria.
A Party of terrorists.

This is a very good question.

Sad but true, despite the fact that the government is not living up to expectation. The citizenry na real wahala. I don't want to believe that there is no hope for Nigeria.

Didijiji:
I just read somewhere that RCCG members were to peacefully protest this Sunday but got a stern instruction to cancel it

Omor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stern instruction from whom?

Oga APC happened to Nigeria, a gang of criminals took over the country.

Same church protested during gej's pdp govt.

yes and now the suffering is 10 times worse, they have gone silent

Continue lying to your soul. Under Ebele 20-100 Nigerians were slaughtered daily. This is not to excise the failure of Tinubu about security but if the argument on whose fault all the insecurity we are facing is on, it must definitely be on Obj Yatdua n Ebele n not Tinubu.

Those are the ones that watch boko haram transformed into the killing machine it is today. Obasanjo start with allowing sharia that indoctrinated boko haram fighters n here we are today.

With the way youths are handling things I see no hope. We are not doing things differently from the way the people we want the best from, are doing it.

Our values have eroded. Dora Akunyili started the change sensitization but she could finish it.

Leaders are chosen among us. The strongest of us becomes the leader. That means if we are thieves the stronger thief becomes the leader.

I had to go check your profile and noticed it is one kamoru or salaudeen somewhere that typed this rubbish

And I didn’t lie! They are the only ones saying Tinubu is the best thing after shawarma 🤣🥱
