Abstract

This paper examines the rising wave of insecurity in Nigeria, despite certain measures already put in place by Federal government of Nigeria down to the individuals in a community. This rising wave of insecurity seems to have taken different dangerous dimensions in different parts of the country (Nigeria). To the extent that Nigeria though seen as giant of Africa is seen to be porous in securing life and property. Whether we believe it or not, the corporate existence of this country as one geographical entity amalgamated mistakenly or naturally or forcefully in 1914 by white men is being threatened for separation because banditry, kidnapping and killings of different kinds. The thread or rope holding the existence and corporate togetherness of Nigeria’s statehood is fast cutting and the land is getting bloody, which is seen from level of deaths occurring on daily basis. In the light of the above situation of insecurity being experienced in Nigeria, through different kinds of violence, its solution requires a multitask or multi-stakeholder approach in fighting or arresting the situation. This is why this paper is projecting the principles of Igwebuike as a solution toward controlling and if possible putting to hold the problem of insecurity in Nigeria. Igwebuike as a solution to insecurity in Nigeria rests on harmonization or solidarity and complementarity of African togetherness. With togetherness which is the strength of Igwebuike as a principle, the current situation may be solved.
