  5. Is the government of Nigeria unable or unwilling to address and root out all the non-state actors killing citizens (Christians and non-Christians) across Nigeria 🇳🇬?
Why has the Presidency remained silent despite the Minister of NOA stating that Nigeria is ready to work with the US and others to combat terrorism? How can we get the Nigerian Government to properly engage all terror groups and track progress? What is the ideal timeline to give the Nigerian Government before escalating externally for help? Why does the government appear indifferent while killings continue? Will these continued tensions eventually lead to the breakup of Nigeria? What clear solutions should we present to the Federal Government? Should the focus be on poverty, terrorism, or persecution? Can we legally challenge the Federal Government regarding failures in the North West and North East? What specific areas should we ask the Federal Government to prioritise to reduce killings by 95% within 12 months? Is the government of Nigeria unable or unwilling to address and root out all the non-state actors killing citizens (Christians and non-Christians) across Nigeria 🇳🇬?

Answer

Both capacity limits and political/operational failures matter. International reports document: (a) serious gaps in security capacity and governance in vast rural areas, (b) uneven law enforcement and prosecution (impunity), and (c) political/coordination problems that frustrate responses — which together make it hard to fully eliminate violent non-state actors. Observers therefore describe a mixture of constrained ability (resource, logistics, governance) and inconsistent political will/priority at different levels.
