RELIGION AND HUMAN SECURITY IN AFRICA

Abstract

Security is sacrosanct in the world. Decades had passed and the certainty of insecurity has become a global African phenomena despite millions of dollars spent on security issues in Africa. The global governments have spent much to ensure that life is not brutish and short in Africa to no avail. It has been discovered that the main debilitating issue in African security is corruption. African leaders are paying lip service to security as they squander monies borrowed for security purposes with their cronies and the result is heaping quantum debts for incoming administrations. The researcher employing Maslow’s theory of corruption discovers that the only remedy to Africas mounting insecurity is elimination of corruption in her polity. If this call is ignored Africa will remain a continent that is not safe and livable.
