As we enter the new year of 2026, the East Bay Times reader letters to the editor have highlighted some pressing issues that need to be addressed in Nigeria. These letters have shed light on the worsening roadways, inaccurate and expendable practices, and the missing outrage towards Nigeria’s sectarianism. It is time for us to take a closer look at these issues and work towards finding solutions for a better future.
Firstly, the state of our roadways has been a major concern for many years now. The letters from our readers have highlighted the deteriorating condition of our roads, which not only causes inconvenience but also poses a threat to the safety of commuters. Potholes, uneven surfaces, and lack of proper maintenance have become a common sight on our roads. This not only affects the daily commute of citizens but also hinders the growth of our economy. It is disheartening to see that despite numerous promises and budget allocations, the condition of our roads continues to worsen.
Moreover, the issue of inaccurate and expendable practices in our country has also been brought to light by our readers. The letters have highlighted the lack of accountability and transparency in various sectors, leading to wastage of resources and hindering progress. It is high time that we hold our leaders and institutions accountable for their actions and demand a more efficient and responsible approach towards governance. We cannot afford to continue with practices that do not benefit the country and its citizens.
Another concerning issue raised by our readers is the missing outrage towards Nigeria’s sectarianism. The country has been plagued by religious and ethnic tensions for decades, leading to violence and loss of innocent lives. However, it is disheartening to see that these incidents do not receive the same level of outrage and attention as other issues. We must remember that we are all Nigerians first and foremost, and it is our responsibility to stand united against any form of discrimination or violence. It is time for us to promote peace and harmony among all communities and work towards building a more inclusive and tolerant society.
As we reflect on these issues, it is important to remember that change starts with us. We cannot expect our leaders to address these problems if we do not hold them accountable and demand action. It is time for us to come together as a nation and work towards finding solutions for these pressing issues. We must also remember that progress and development cannot be achieved without the active participation of citizens.
In conclusion, the East Bay Times reader letters have highlighted some crucial issues that need to be addressed in Nigeria. The worsening roadways, inaccurate and expendable practices, and the missing outrage towards sectarianism are all issues that require immediate attention. As we embark on a new year, let us make a collective effort to bring about positive change in our country. Let us hold our leaders accountable, demand transparency and work towards building a more united and prosperous Nigeria. Together, we can create a better future for ourselves and the generations to come.
