First, we consider Nigeria's debt burden, which has ballooned to a staggering ₦121 trillion, raising concerns about the country's ability to service its loans and invest in vital areas. 

Next, we look at a potential source of conflict in West Africa. Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger have left ECOWAS and formed the AES. Alliance of Sahelian States. 

Finally, is climate change dealing with Nigeria? Heavy rains have caused flooding across several states, displacing residents and disrupting businesses. The government warns that even more areas could be impacted, raising fears of a wider crisis.
