Insecurity in Nigeria has posed a national questions in which up till this moment no formidable answer has been provided. If Britain had failed to proffer solution to insecurity challenges in the country before independence and Nigeria rulers failed to do this after almost 53 years of independence (1960-2013), something is definitely wrong with the approach so far. Does it not occur to the president that we should get back to the drawing board? Safeguarding the sovereign, independence and territorial integrity of the state was the central pillar of Nigeria national security policy. Other guiding principles were Africa unity and independence, non-intervention in internal affairs of other states, and regional economic development and security cooperation. Subordinate goals included military self-sufficiency and regional leadership. In pursuing these goals, Nigeria was diplomatic and flexible, but it employed coercive method or measured force when necessary. Nigeria , was

Presently, two-thirds of violent attacks against housewives are committed by husbands and one of the most dangerous places for women is her own home. Approximately 1,500 women are killed each year by husbands or boyfriends. To some experts, there is no good profile for men who batter their women.

The primary duty of a government is to save us from ourselves, failure to do this is anarchy, but the pure indulgence of the PHCN is what we are grappling with today--- pure incompetence , the arrogant extortion of the masses for services not rendered, the endorsement of pure corruption at the close of every family meeting of the federal republic of Nigeria, it is always loud laughter, and red chamber slapping, simply because we have gone in there to deceive out selves.

The Imperative for a Political Platform of Nigeria’s Working People (1)   From (1). It has also turned out that both the ethno-nationalist, geopolitical and confessional divides in Nigeria had become veritable instrument in the hand of global imperialism and especially in respect of USA’s alleged “war on terror” By 2009, US secretary of state, Hillary Clinton, was already insisting that Boko-Haram had links with Al-Qaeda thus providing a template for mainstreaming: Boko Haram into US ‘s war on terror and providing excuses for US’s intelligent and military organization to openly take control of Nigeria’s police and related security outfits barking orders at them and issuing self-serving security alerts to Nigeria people. Although it is common knowledge that USA has been taking to the Taliban since 2005 or so and seeking diplomatic and political solutions to the crisis in Afghanistan, US and EU officials periodically ask their Nigerian clones not to dialogue with Boko Haram. So

For about three decades now, Nigeria had been in a deepening crisis for neo-colonialism on one hand and parasitism of the indigenous ruling class on the other. The neo-colonial aspect of it had entailed the continued dominance of foreign interest led by western capitalist forces and their international financial institution (the IMF and the World Bank) control from the metropolises of the trades” (USA, Europe and Japan). The triad had, of course, pound new centers arising from the so called globalization, now known as the BRICS (Brazil, Russian, Indian, China and South Africa) our indigenous ruling class in the said crisis is composed of various ethnics and conventional factions united by their primary pre- occupation with primitive accumulation.

Forward To A Permanent Revolution In Osun In the two years of Aregbesola administration, much has been achieved in respect of restoration of order, high moral values and responsible governance. The positive impact of probity and democratic accounting is being felt by the electorates who were hitherto victims of the corrupt and greedy administrators,. The revolutionary mission of the government is enunciated in the six-point programs of banishing poverty, hunger, and unemployement, restoring quality life, promoting functional education and communal peace. The prudent management of public resources is exemplified in the three fold increase in internal generated revenue from about N200m to N600m in two years.

The Role Of Change Agents From the forgoing summary (1) (2) , it is clear that the Nigerian political environment has always been hostile to radical, revolutionary change. The situation has been compounded by the three decade of fascist military rules which as liquidated the ranks of forces of change in favor of the oppressed and exploited majority. The core issue is the economic system which is capitalist, neocolonial and hopelessly dependent on foreign interest. The economic survives primarily on the export of crude oil without any value added. It is a pipeline economic in which the oil and gas are mined and transported via pipelines to export terminals to support industrial prosperity of foreign nations.

Who Is Afraid Of Change? In social science thought the concept of change is employed to designate a significant alteration in social structures, rules of conduct, values, cultural products, and symbols. In the intellectual context, change also refers to development and transformation of human society from a lower to a higher or more advanced level. The use of the term connotes progress, growth, qualitative leap and even revolution. In Nigeria’s political experience, almost all electoral parties subscribe to or proclaim the goals of change. Quite often, many politicians interpret change to mean no more that the replacement of one set of administrators or office holders by another. In this discussion, we hope to examine the idea of change that relates to significant alteration in social structure, rules of conduct, and values.

The restoration of elected democratic rule in Nigeria since 1999 has thrown up a fresh debate about the nature of change in the country’s political process. Understandably, the termination of military dictatorship generated high expectation on the part of the masses of the people who were the main victims of the tyranny under the military. However, the process of the transition to elected democratic rule influenced the quality and direction of change that followed. First, the momentum of the anti-military uprising was determined by the June 12, 1993, presidential polls. That election involved two political parties founded and funded by the dictatorial military regime of General Ibrahim Babangida. They were the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and National Republican Convention (NRC). The SDP candidate, Chief M.K.O. Abiola was heading for victory when the military junta cancelled or annulled the results.

Before the current democratic dispensation was made possible by God in 1999.   There was   no doubt that the country have been considered dead and in fact already abandoned by many nations of the world , but since then, how much life do we really have? Even now, so many aspects of our life are yet to be fully restored, Nigeria is sick with Bribery and Corruption, Insecurity, Kidnapping and Unemployment, our educational sector is collapsing and the social infrastructure are in a state of disrepair. May God continue to be merciful on us, heal our land and restore our nation to full life. But in order to really restore our land to a befitting one these are some of the thing we as a nation must take cognizant of;

Many have attributed the rise in the spate of insecurity in the country where pump action gun is perhaps now cheaper than bread, to the massive social economic slide of the as a result of the embrace of neo-liberal policies, ushered in by the Washington consensus of the mid 80s, which severally attacked living condition s of the people almost rendering them prostrate. As a result of this thousands of our youth were unable to find jobs. This is compounded by the closure of many firms and the relocation of many others to Ghana, Angola and Cote d’Ivoire where the business climate is more clement.
