VeegilantsSCARY SCARS: HOW TO HEAL FROM TRAUMA
We often focus on politics, health, and civic because we consider them more pressing. The most neglected part of the tree sprouts out the most significant fruit (either good or a threat to others). Have we ever stopped to wonder what truly the root cause of increased crime rates is, thuggery activities, internet fraud, murder, kidnapping, etc.? If you check deeper, they are tied to a terrible upbringing which in turn scars the youngsters who grow up to become a youth with so much baggage. These people are easily preyed on becoming toxins in society.

VeegilantsHas The Population In Nigeria Contributed To The Present Poverty Level?Nigeria’s unchecked population growth over decades has contributed to the crisis of unemployment and poverty. The geometric growth of uneducated and unskilled youth in an already stressed and unproductive economic environment has negative implications for both economy and security. This is already evident in some parts of the country. The population crisis has gone on for too long because of a lack of political will to address it, flowing from sensitivities around culture, religion and politics.
Those were the exact words of Mr Kingsley Moghalu who is a former deputy CBN governor while giving a speech on th...

VeegilantsTribalism: Are We Truly One Nigeria?
Tribalism: Are We Truly One Nigeria?" prompts us to critically examine the extent to which tribal affiliations shape our collective identity as Nigerians.
Tribalism, deeply rooted in Nigeria's historical and cultural fabric, manifests in various spheres of society, from politics and governance to social interactions and economic opportunities. It often creates divisions along ethnic lines, undermining the notion of a unified Nigerian identity.
From hindering effective governance to impeding national cohesion, tribalism presents formidable obstacles that must be addressed for Nigeria to realize its full potential.
Ultimately, our discussion seeks to...

VeegilantsOptimism: A Nigerian's DelusionDespite the prevalence of optimism, Nigeria faces numerous challenges, including political instability, corruption, economic inequality, and security concerns. These issues can often seem insurmountable and may lead some to question the validity of optimism in the face of harsh realities.
While optimism can be a powerful force for motivation and resilience, it's essential to strike a balance between hope and realism. Blind optimism that ignores or denies the challenges facing Nigeria can be detrimental, leading to complacency or a lack of meaningful action. Encouraging a nuanced approach that acknowledges both the potential for positive change and the...

VeegilantsSURVIVING ECONOMIC SHEGE PRO MAX
Of particular note is the substantial regression of the Nigerian economy from recession to depression. In correlation with the devaluation of the naira, people's salaries and income have stayed constant or have even declined, but the prices of groceries, fuel, healthcare, housing rent, utilities, and other necessities have increased.
In the absence of any compelling program to reduce the misery and poverty in the nation, the administration is pleading with the people to put up with the hardship. Human endurance has a limit, something the authorities didn't realize.

VeegilantsTakes on Feminism
The term "feminism" has gotten so overused that most people have no idea what it truly means. A person can wake up and declare themselves to be a feminist. Some perceive it as an anti-male struggle and an anti-alpha-male struggle. As a result, feminism has become little more than a movement of misandrists. And if we go on to explain that feminism is not misandry. AND SO, WHAT IS FEMINISM?

VeegilantsTackling Education Bugs - Outdated Curriculum in the School System
Education is the level ground for raising future leaders and empowering young people with unequalled knowledge to compete at the global level confidently. However, the Nigerian education system still has some bugs that need to be tackled and one of those bugs is the out-of-date curriculum used in schools to teach the supposed leaders of tomorrow who can't boldly apply what they have been taught or are disadvantaged when compared to other international students in other parts of the world.

VeegilantsYouth Entrepreneurship
Nigeria is well populated, with the majority of its population being youths. With a country having mainly young people, national growth and a soaring economy should be the visible order of the day. However, it remains an unreachable dream because the youths who should build the nation - are placed in default settings, like clones controlled by a mastermind to become perpetrators of atrocious acts in the society, which has contributed to the degraded state of the nation. When caught in the act, they justify this as a means to survive . Is youth entrepreneurship the way forward?

VeegilantsCIVIC NATIONALISM VERSUS ETHNIC NATIONALISM: A PROBLEM OF IDENTITY IN NIGERIA
Chief Obafemi Awolowo wrote in Path to Nigerian Freedom, published in 1947, that Nigeria “is a mere geographical expression.”
In a popular line in her book 'Half of a Yellow Sun', Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie said "I am Nigerian because a white man created Nigeria and gave me that identity. I am black because the white man constructed black to be as different as possible from his white. But I was Igbo before the white man came."
Not to be misconstrued, it is perfectly acceptable for someone to be proud of their ethnicity; yet, this rais...
