Nigerians are increasingly avoiding travel for social events due to a surge in kidnappings. Activities that were once routine, such as attending weddings, funerals, and village meetings, have now become dangerous choices. The prevailing fear of abduction has forced many citizens to prioritize their safety over social obligations. This trend reflects a growing insecurity crisis affecting daily movement within the country. Many individuals now believe that no celebration is worth theing risk to their lives. Consequently, social gatherings are seeing a decline in attendance as people refuse to travel. The situation highlights the deep psychological impact of systemic violence on Nigerian society.
