In one fallstreak cloud video posted by WeatherStem on Dec. 30, the cirrus cloud is visible above the altcocumulus cloud. NASA Earth Observatory senior science writer Adam Voiland wrote about fallstreak clouds when a series of them were seen off the southwest coast of Florida in January 2024.

When citizens conclude that outcomes are predetermined or easily distorted, voter registration becomes an empty ritual. This withdrawal is evident not only in voter registration figures but also in declining voter turnout and rising political apathy, especially among young people. The implications of persistently low voter registration are grave. Ultimately, voter registration statistics are not just numbers; they are a mirror reflecting the state of the nation. Rebuilding that trust is the real task before Nigeria, and until it is done, low voter registration will remain a symptom of a much larger national crisis.
