Dr. Anosike: Nigeria’s Situation Has Gotten So Bad It May Be Beyond Repair

Lagos — Economist and public affairs commentator, Dr. Peter Anosike, has expressed deep concern over the worsening state of Nigeria’s economy and governance, saying the country’s condition has become so dire that it may now be beyond repair.

Speaking during a panel discussion on VOP TV, Dr. Anosike lamented the rising cost of living, collapsing public institutions, insecurity, and widespread poverty, which he said have eroded citizens’ faith in both leadership and the system.

“Nigeria’s situation has deteriorated so badly that it may be beyond repair,” he said with visible frustration.

He explained that decades of mismanagement, corruption, and misplaced priorities have left the nation in a state of deep crisis — one that can no longer be fixed by quick policy changes or political promises.

“We are not just dealing with economic problems; we are facing moral, institutional, and leadership decay. The damage is systemic,” he added.

According to Anosike, while reform efforts have been announced by successive governments, poor implementation and political selfishness have continued to cripple meaningful progress.

He urged the federal government to acknowledge the depth of the crisis and begin a national reconstruction process, involving all sectors of society, if Nigeria is to avoid total collapse.

“It’s time to stop pretending everything is fine. We need a complete reset — in governance, in leadership ethics, and in national values,” he emphasized.

Analysts say Dr. Anosike’s remarks echo the growing frustration among Nigerians who believe that decades of unfulfilled promises and poor governance have left the country struggling to meet even basic social and economic needs.
