Does conflict exhaustion matter? for 240 Nigerians we are tired from decades of lies from previous government, current government opposition parties, independent candidates
Yes — exhaustion is often a turning point.

When neither side believes they can win outright, and the population of Nigerians are tired of suffering, killed every day the political cost of compromise drops.
But exhaustion alone never produces peace. It must combine with:

Political leadership willing to take risks that is if they are serious

Security guarantees

Public legitimacy

International mediation

Without these, exhaustion just leads to a frozen conflict, not a settlement.
