As Nigeria marks another year of existence, the nation’s wounds remain unhealed, and the questions unanswered. Mogaji Wole Arisekola’s poignant piece raises critical issues that demand bold answers, not political spin or diversionary gimmicks. This article delves into the heart of Nigeria’s problems, exploring the complexities of a nation in crisis.
THE CHIBOK GIRLS: Brought Back Or Buried In Silence?
The #BringBackOurGirls movement, once a global rallying cry, has faded into obscurity. What happened to the Chibok girls? Were they rescued, or has the movement been shelved? The silence is deafening, and the lack of answers is a betrayal of the girls and their families.
THE DASUKI ENIGMA
Sambo Dasuki, the former National Security Adviser, was granted bail, but has he faced justice? Or is “bail” in Nigeria a euphemism for permanent immunity? The nation demands answers, not silence.
BOKO HARAM: Who Bankrolled The TERROR?
Over seventeen years have passed since Boko Haram’s insurgency began. Who are the sponsors of this terror group? Where are the names? Where is justice? The lack of accountability is a stark reminder of Nigeria’s failed promises.
WHERE ARE THE BOMBERS?
What happened to Sadiq Ogwuche, the alleged mastermind of the Nyanya bombing? Or Kabiru Sokoto, linked to the Christmas Day church massacre in Suleja? The nation demands answers, not amnesia.
REPENTANT TERRORISTS: TIME BOMBS IN WAITING?
How are Boko Haram fighters being reintegrated without exposing their funders? Who monitors these so-called repentant terrorists to ensure they don’t return to the battlefield? Nigerians are watching.
MAGU: The Ghost Of EFCC Past
What became of Ibrahim Magu, the embattled former EFCC boss? Was he a villain, a victim, or a casualty of political warfare? The silence surrounding his fate is deafening.
NNPC Audit: Still “In Progress”?
We were promised a forensic audit of NNPC within six months of Buhari’s ascension. Eight years later, where is the report? Buried beneath corruption or shredded in Aso Rock?
Yahoo Boys Vs. The Real Looters
As ordinary Nigerian youths are driven to desperation, the true looters – rogue politicians and civil servants – continue to rob the nation blind. It’s a tragic comedy: armed robbers chasing pickpockets.
EKO DISCO: A Symptom Of A Rotten System
The privatization of NEPA and the sale to Eko Disco is a scandal yet to explode. Lekki Phase 1 residents, myself included, are subjected to extortionate bills for darkness. I will not stop until this fraud is exposed—from the presidency to the last PHCN file clerk. The panel that supervised the sale must be dragged into the light. No sacred cows. We demand an independent probe.
Bayo Ojulari: A Questionable Appointment
Congratulations to Bayo Ojulari, newly appointed GCEO of NNPC PLC. However, his attempt to distance himself from his Yoruba heritage is both laughable and pathetic. Yorubas don’t need you, and your disavowal of Omoluabi values speaks more about your character than your origins. Ask your kinsman, Bukola Saraki—he’s still lost between his adopted and ancestral roots.

Final Word
History will judge us—not by the lies we swallowed, but by the truth we dared to speak. We owe it to ourselves, and to generations unborn. Nigeria must not forget.
In conclusion, Nigeria’s wounds are deep, and the questions are many. But it’s not too late to demand answers and seek justice. The nation must confront its problems head-on, rather than hiding behind silence and diversionary gimmicks. Only then can Nigeria begin to heal and delegations of unborn.
