The #EndBadGovernance protest, which began on August 1, was initially intended to address the economic hardships and governance issues facing Nigeria. However, it unfortunately resulted in significant disruptions to daily life, substantial economic losses, tragic deaths, and heightened concerns about Nigeria’s unity and stability.

For a nation that prides itself on its indivisibility and the non-negotiability of its unity, certain aspects of the protests raised significant concerns. They exposed the country's vulnerability to internal divisions and ethnic tensions, despite its proclaimed commitment to national cohesion.

In Lagos for instance, calls for the expulsion of Igbos resurfaced amid the protests. 

Meanwhile, in Nigeria’s northern region, the sight of Russian flags at protests raised further alarm.

Additionally, with the #IgboMustGo protest planned for August 20-30, authorities face the challenge of preventing further escalation.

It is crucial to ask, what decisive actions must be taken and what permanent solutions should be deployed to address these emerging threats and ensure national unity and stability?
