In this journey, I’ll take you through some key phases of Africa’s revolutions that are about to shake up and reshape the continent very soon. Few predicted the defeat of the Gambia’s Yahya Jammeh; the decision of the Supreme Court in Kenya and the victory of the opposition in Nigeria. Therefore, the next great African moment could be just around the corner, as is the cases in any continent with a complicated political landscapes and power sharing systems, crises do occur. But, such crises have so far evolved through social and constitutional means, which is unprecedented in Africa’s recent history. For better and worse, the emerging African geopolitical landscape is drawing to a close an era of revolutions. The central challenge of our time is posed not by civil war or terrorism as it used to be, but rather by the intensifying turbulence caused by the phenomenon of national consciousness and global political awakening. Such awakening is politically radicalizing and socially massive - a process of socio-political renewal is underway across the continent, as long as some regimes that tightly control the political landscape will hold elections that they have no intention of losing.

S/election seasons in Nigeria are synonymous with war situations, a do-or-die affair. Barely six months to Nigeria’s defining 2019 general elections, governance and business activities are almost at a standstill. Machiavellian intrigues, seismic political stunts, inter-party defections, impeachment plots are now the new normal in Nigeria. The political wheeling and dealing playing out in Nigeria is having a butterfly-effect on the already fragile economy, volatile political climate, security, geo-political risk, instability. For the second year in a row, the Fragile States Index, FSI, released by the Washington DC-based think-tank, Fund for Peace, FFP, ranked Nigeria as the 13th least stable country in the world. Similarly, Nigeria ranks 148 out of 168 on the 2018 Global Peace Index (GPI), by the Institute for Economics and Peace.
