We must organise horizontally, build parallel networks of community security, fiercely interrogate every public official, and ensure that every single act of governance failure carries a severe, unbearable social and political cost for the perpetrator. For decades, Nigerians have worn resilience like a badge of honour. The world praises us for our unique capacity to absorb pain, to navigate systemic indignity, and to survive where others would break. But let…
