The Danger After AFCON 2023
==========

The article discusses the potential danger and social unrest in Nigeria following the conclusion of the AFCON 2023 football tournament. The author, Dakuku Peterside, highlights the economic hardship, hunger, and anger prevalent in the country, which can lead to upheaval. Nigerian workers represented by the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and the Trade Union Congress (TUC) have given the government two weeks to implement policies to reduce the impact of economic policies on citizens. The article emphasizes that the emotional attachment of citizens to football can provide temporary relief from economic hardships, but if the government does not address the economic challenges, the anger and hopelessness may lead to popular revolt. The author calls for honesty, inclusiveness, innovative thinking, and sustained efforts from the government and private sector to address economic hardship and poverty. The article concludes by warning that if nothing is done to improve the quality of life for Nigerians, demands for improvement may escalate and potentially lead to social unrest.
