Tensions have been rising in Nigeria in recent months and just last week, the Nigerian government suspended Twitter, shutting down a key medium Nigerians use to vent their frustration and pain.

In other words, things are getting worse in Nigeria and they may continue to worsen in the next two years, and the United States may have to support activists and independent media at home and abroad with funds and other resources to prevent Nigeria from imploding, democracy from dying, and reject the type of autocratic rule being copied from China and Russia.
