To be honest, we don't know where this is going. We all want a peaceful outcome. The next elections are in 2023 so there is no near resolution by the ballot.

To be honest, we don't know where this is going. We all want a peaceful outcome.
The next elections are in 2023 so there is no near resolution by the ballot.
There is over 50% unemployment, mega inflation, currency devaluation etc and yet a consistent clampdown on anything deemed progressive by the government.
The truth is, if anything happens to the peace of Nigeria and if only 5%, of its occupants get displaced (10million people) the world will feel it's impact in a very negative way.
Unfortunately, thanks to COVID, Brexit et al, no one is paying attention so the government assumes it has it has a freehand.
Unfortunately for them, our population is very young, quite adept at adapting, innovative etc. So I do not see us backing down. Despite the worst of policies, there has been unprecedented growth in our tech startup scene (YC can testify)
So for now, we watch.
