Orange Union: A Peoples’ Alternative to Prevent War and Chaos in Nigeria
The Irohinoodua Editorial ---- October 06, 2023

Will Nigeria slide into anarchy? Well, from bird’s view, everything seems not too bad in Nigeria. Africa’s largest democracy conducted Federal Elections early this year. Though before the elections came state induced hardship. The naira was suddenly swapped, with the Central Bank of Nigeria, (CBN) asking Nigerians to deposit all they had but the apex bank in turn refused to return public funds in its kitty, throwing millions of Nigerians off the economic scale with some 2 million Small and Medium Scale Enterprises flushed out of the financial chain in a desperate bid by the ruling oligarchy to sustain itself in power or impose a protégé within the same ruling All Progressives Congress, (APC).
Like every election in the post-colonial state, the 2023 contest was marked by deep primordial divisions, ethnic taunts and the chief of all: corruption. The fact that the three most prominent Presidential candidates came from the three major ethnic groups further sharpened the historical divisions in Africa’s most populous country.
Nevertheless, a President, Bola Ahmed Tinubu emerged, sworn in by the country’s Chief Justice, Olukayode Ariwoola. With the swiftness of a hawk, the economy slid into coma few days after Tinubu resumed.
