A State That Has Failed Its People: Nigeria’s Security Collapse and a Nation on the Streets

Nigeria is bleeding not from war alone, but from the slow, suffocating death of a government that has abandoned its most sacred duty: protecting its people. For years, the nation has been hammered by a relentless wave of kidnappings, banditry, terrorism, and school abductions. Today, the outrage has boiled over. Teachers, students, parents, and ordinary citizens have taken to the streets in Lagos, Abuja, Ibadan, Abeokuta, Oyo, Ogun, Delta, Kwara, and Cross River states, chanting one demand that cannot be ignored: Bring Back Our Students.

Protesters say kidnappings have become an “economy for the elite.” They make money from ransom. They profit from terror.
