Brief Explanation of HUMAN SECURITY
EXPLODING FROM THE GRANDILOQUENCE OF MY ACADEMIC RESERVOIR, WHERE I BECAME LACHRYMOSE IN MY EXPLICANDUM, EXPLICATION AND ELUCIDATION OF THE DEBILITATING, OSCILLATING AND MALODOROUS SITUATION IN IGBO-OLOMU AREA OF ISAWO, IKORIDU, LAGOS.

Human security is the combination of threats associated with war, genocide, and the displacement of populations. At a minimum, human security means freedom from violence and the fear of violence.

ACCORDING TO THE 1999 CONSTITUTION SECTION14 (2B )ACCORDINGLY, DECLARED THAT* THE SECURITY AND WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE SHALL BE THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF GOVERNMENT BUT IT SEEMS THE REVERSE IS BECOMING THE CASE HERE IN NIGERIA WHERE IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE IN STATE OF NATURE ADVOCATED BY AN ERUDITE, ARTICULATE AND CEREBRAL THINKER *THOMAS HOBBES* THEN I ASK MYSELF, WHAT DO WE MEAN BY SECURITY? What does it mean to be secured?

ETYMOLOGICALLY, THE WORD SECURITY WAS COIN OUT FROM LATIN *SECURUS* MEANING SAFE, SECURE, FREE FROM CARE, UNWORRIED, UNCONCERNED. SECURITY IS THE DEGREE OF RESISTANCE TO, OR PROTECTION FROM HARM. IT APPLIES TO ANY VULNERABLE AND VALUABLE ASSET, SUCH AS PERSON, DWELLING, COMMUNITY,ITEM, NATION, OR ORGANIZTION.

ALAS! ALAS! ALAS! I AM SPEECHLESS AND GOBSMACKED ON THE LINGERING LEVEL OF INSECURITY, DISORDERLINESS AND ROWDYNESS THAT WET INTO THE IGBO-OLOMU-AREA OF ISAWO, IKORODU, LAGOS WHICH HAS KEPT THE INDIGENE OF THE AREA IN A VITUPERATIVE ULULATION. 

IT IS NO NEWS THAT THE IJAWS ARE THE ENIGMA TERRORIZING THIS AREA IN THE COURSE OF CRUDE OIL PALAVA WHICH HAS COST SOME PEOPLES LIFE IN THE AREA WHILE SOME ARE HOMELESS AND HOPELESS AS I SPEAK NOW. WHY THE HURLY-BURLY? IS IGBO-OLOMU NOT A COMMUNITY? DOES IT BELONG TO OGUN STATE ONLY OR LAGOS STATE ONLY OR IN BETYWEEN? WITHOUT WASTING MUCH OF OUR TIME. 

ACCORDING TO MAP, SOME PARTs IN IGBO-OLOMU BELONGS TO OGUN STATE LIKE OKE MUTI AND CO. BUT WHY THE SLOW RESPONSE ON THE INIMICAL, EXIGENT AND REBARBATIVE ONGOING SITUATION IN IGBO OLOMU AREA OF ISAWO, IKORODU?

THE LAGOS/OGUN STATE GOVERNMENT AS A MATTER OF FACT NEED TO SHOW MORE THAN A LETHAGIC, MORE THAN A PASSIVE INTEREST IN SALVAGING THE INDIGENES OF IGBO-OLOMU AREA OF ISAWO BEFORE THE DEADLY SECT OF IJAWS BARBECUE THEM FOR LAST SUPPER. IT IS VERY CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT THE ROLE OF GOVERNANCE CANNOT BE UNDERMINED IN THE STUDY OF SECURITY CHALLENGES IN NIGERIA. 

THIS MEANS THAT THE WAY AND MANNER POWER IS EXERCISED BY THE GOVERNMENT IN MANAGING A COUNTRY’S SOCIAL ECONOMIC RESOURCES CAN AFFECT THE SECURITY OF THE STATE IN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER. WHAT ARE THE REMOTE AND IMMEDIATE CAUSES OF INSECURITY IN NIGERIAN AND HOW CAN THE SITUATION BE RESOLVED? BAD LEADERSHIP, CORRUPTION, ILLITERACY AND MANY MORE ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR THE STATE OF THE COUNTRY. 

THE LEADERSHIP OF THE COUNTRY HAS CONTRIBUTED SO MUCH TO THE INSECURITY NIGERIA IS FACING TODAY. IT IS RIDICULOUS TO KNOW THAT OUR GOVERNMENT NEGOTIATES WITH TERRORISTS USING MOBILE PHONES BUT UP TILL TODAY, OUR SECURITY AGENCIES HAVE NOT USED SIMPLE TRACKING DEVICES TO LOCATE THEM. THE WORLD OF TECHNOLOGY HAS DEVELOPED OVER TIME BUT WE HAVE REFUSED TO MOVE ALONG WITH TECHNOLOGY. 

MULTIPLE TECHNOLOGIES EXIT THAT CAN BE USED TO IMPROVE SECURITY, *JUST LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO BARKAWI IN LONDON HAS FALLEN WHEN ALAN TRUMBELL ASK HIM TO LOOK THROUGH HIS WINDOW* BUT OUR SECURITY AGENCIES MAY NOT EVEN BE AWARE OF. 

HOW CAN THEY TACKLE TERROR IN THIS AGE? THE QUESTION IS: ARE WE NOT CAPABLE OF PURCHASING THESE DEVICES? THIS IS WHERE CORRUPTION COMES INTO THE PICTURE . *PUBLIC FUNDS* AS THE NAME IMPLIES, ARE SUPPOSED TO BE USED FOR THE WELFARE OF THE PUBLIC BUT DUE TO THE FACT THAT CORRUPTION HAS EATEN DEEP INTO THE HEARTS OF MAJORITY OF OUR LEADERS TODAY, PUBLIC FUNDS HAVE NOW BEING TURNED INTO INDIVIDUAL WEALTH.

PROBABLE REMEDY/PANACEA TO NIGERIAN INSECURITY
1. THE SECURITY OF OUR RESIDENTIAND BUSINESS AREA SHOULD BE THE OBLIGATIONOF EVERY NIGERIAN BY GIVING OUT USEFUL INFORMATION TO THE SECURITY AGENTS ON NEW DEVELOPMENT

2. THERE SHOULD BE A CHANGE IN RECRUITMENT PROCESS, WHERE CORRUPTION PROHIBITED

3.THERE IS A NEED FOR THE AUTHORITIES TO GIVE MORE ATTENTION TO THE POROUS NATURE OF THE NATION’S BORDERS AND SEA BOUNDARIES WHICH HAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE PROLIFERATION OF FIREARMS\

4. FINALLY, CONSIDERING THE INCREASING RATE OF CYBER CRIMES, COMPUTER LITERACY SHOULD BE MADE COMPULSORY FOR THE NATION’S SECURITY PERSONNEL.
