The absence of an effective transport system in several states of Nigeria has left Nigerians to the mercy of dubious transporters. These transporters who are guided by the action and inaction of certain states Governments, have become law onto themselves.

Commuters across the federation go through great difficulties and harrowing experiences before reaching their various destinations daily.

This is as a result of not only the prohibitive transport fares but also the infiltration of the transport system by criminals.

In some states of the federation, tricycle operators and commercial motorcycle riders popularly known as okada riders, have for some time now, being having a field day exploiting helpless commuters for their benefit and that of the Government.

-Legalizing Crime and Criminality

The insinuation is that the affected states covertly sanction the activities of the criminals who have infiltrated the transport system.

However, it is worrisome to note that some state Governments have obstinately rejected the popular agitation that okada riders ought to be banned from plying major roads across the country.

This is due to the unabating various forms of criminality that have become their stock-in-trade. Sadly, a number of state Governments rely on the revenue generated from this source.

-Landlords and Tenants Associations, Crime and Criminality

Surprisingly, the tricycle operators and okada riders have overwhelmed the transport system to the extent that the Government's docility has become glaring.

Indeed, there is an urgent need for regulation of transport fares.

-Law Enforcement: The Reactionary Approach

The affected state Governments ought to provide an alternative means of transportation that shall be adequate for the large population, so as not to force the citizenry to label Those-in-Charge inhuman and insensitive Interestingly dissatisfaction and disaffection currently pervades the lenght and breadth of the country.

Note-

In each incident, the suspect enters the bank and presents a demand note to the teller before fleeing the scene on foot. The suspect is described as a White male, 40 to 50 years of age, approximately 5’7” to 5’8” in height with a medium build. In each incident, he was seen wearing a black hat and face covering, a t-shirt, and jeans. He is nicknamed “The Spell It Out Bandit” due to his comprehensive list of demands.

Human capacity development is key to the development of any country in the world.

To achieve development, the appropriate manpower that will impact positively on society is imperative. What is the standard of education?

There are yet to be positive changes in primary, secondary and tertiary education.

This is because maximum efficiency and productivity in the system are elusive.

The hunger and poverty in the land have impaired skill acquisition at all levels of education to the extent that it has negatively affected the decision of the leaders at the center and states of the federation.

The wrong decision by the leadership at a particular point in time resulted in the kidnap incident at Chibok, Borno state.

The effects of the kidnap is alive till this moment. Such leadership has been tested and discovered to be faulty. Indeed.

The last seven years are enough to ensure that wrong decisions are not made again, to avoid a repeat of the gory and harrowing experiences of Nigerians.

Note-

Be wary of criminally minded individuals in journalism who conspire with law enforcement and security agencies to attack professional journalists.

Controversies surrounding certificates of some Nigerians with political ambitions has up to this moment not attracted the attention of Those-in-Authority for obvious reasons.

However, Nigerians expect those involved to convincingly extricate themselves from the web already knitted around them. Sadly, the media, perhaps, for pecuniary reasons, is complicit in the covert efforts not to get to the root of the controversies.

Indeed, a lot is wrong with the system which can be seen in the sorry state of all sectors of the economy.

The failure to acquire qualitative education results in incompetence, mediocrity and ignorance, just as it has become glaring among the youth that education is no longer the means to ends.

-Legalizing Crime and Criminality

Furthermore, it is worrisome to note that even though background checks were conducted on most political office holders, the results of such checks have not been mad to have impact on various political offices in the land.

The outcome is the failure to meet the expectations of the people. Various reasons including religious, tribal and political considerations have impeded the activation of a process that shall ensure that only the most eligible and competent occupy positions in governance.

The hunger in the land coupled with the prohibitive prices of foodstuffs are both reflections of the comatose state of the agricultural sector at all levels of government. In addition, the price of kerosene and transport fares have gone beyond the reach of impoverished Nigerians.

There is no justification for Those-in-Authority and those who have been there in the recent past to aspire to political offices.

The only major agent of socialization is a government that can effectively mitigate and eradicate insecurity in the land.

The is because of the importance of credible elections which we must allow come 2023 in Nigeria. If insecurity is to end and pave the way for a stable polity, then all arms and tiers of government must be on deck to achieve a favorable end.

Luckily for Nigeria democracy has been adopted as the country's politcal philosophy and it stands on the two legs of justice and equity concept, giving a large room for the promotion of an inclusive society.

Credible people will, therefore, facilitate peace and sustainable development that would promote a safe and secured environment. If we cannot achieve a hundred per cent success rate in governance, then a 70 per cent pass mark will be able to address the fundamental needs of the people that would keep them busy and make them friendly to one another because under this condition nobody would lack except those that may crave for luxury.

The justice system is expected to take care of this area in terms of promoting sanity and preventing indiscipline, moral rot and all forms of waywardness and corruption.

The Holy Bible in Genesis 3 : 19 emphasizes the need for shelter, clothing and food for every person in a decent society.

''19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.''

In the same manner, the Holy Quran 11 : 6 emphasizes the natural design of God, the almighty Allah on this same antidote to insecurity that will serve as therapy to human restive nature.''There is no moving creature on earth but its sustenance dependenth on Allah : He knowteh its resting place and its temporary deposit : all in a clear Record.''

The Government has all the wherewithal in terms of power influence and wealth as that natural resources of the sovereignty for the common welfare of the people under them. This is why the government is a key factor in checkmating insecurity and promoting peace and sustainable development through the common wealth of the land for the people's wellness and general welfare. Let's make this possible in Nigeria come 2023 before, during and after the general elections.

Joshua 1 :1-8

1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister, saying,

2 Moses my servant is dead; now therefore arise, go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel.

3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses.

4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast.

5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

7 Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest.

8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

The failure to put the right people in the right positions has been the major challenge.
In this clime, followership demands patronage, handouts and favors. These have impeded the search for credible leadership.
Although certain political actors and national leaders have made invaluable contributions and given worthwhile counsel, their efforts have overtime been ignored.

The number of ownership centers in Nigeria in particular and all over the world in general, gives one much to worry about; when it comes to the low degree of spirituality and the high consequences of value and moral degeneration. This is promoting insecurity, a low degree of wellness and a very poor human development index.
Most people who claim to be religious have drifted towards anti-scriptural tendencies.
In reference to the Holy Bible 1 Corithians 3 : 16-17, every human is portrayed as an empty shell bereft of divine grace.
Don't mind their outward appearance, which most of the time turns out to be mere games of deceit and hypocrisy.
''16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?

17 If any man defile the temple of God, he shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.''
In the same view, the content of the Holy Quran 17 : 21 is another litmus test that validates the above assertion.
''See how We have bestowed more on some than others(social rank), but verily the hereafter(spiritual ranking requirement) is more in rank and gradation and more in excellence.''
It is high time we realize as living beings the message of the Holy Quran 49 : 13 that states, ''Verily the most honored of he is who is the most righteous(spiritually upright person.
To regain our honor, therefore, let our attendance of worship centers routinely or otherwise meet up with the personality traits test of the counseling psychologist by following the Smart concept in all our edalings to be able to cope with the spiritual and social demands for a prosperous, safe and secured orderly world which shall be deviod of corruption and other devinat behavior.
It is imperative for adherents to seek the counsel of those who uphold their of those who uphold thier faith transparently. This is exemplified in the Holy Bible 2 Timothy 3 : 16-17, ''16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.''
Similarly, it is entrenched in the Holy Quran 33 : 35 : for every human through whatever he believes in, society demands a person's participation through ;
1) Just worship and request acceptance in an environment of love.
2) Your state of scripture compliance.
3)in Allah without adulteration.
4) Commitment and devotion to the work of God.
5)Be the vanguard of truth against all odds.
6)Have the streak of patience in tolerance.
7)Develop humility for peace.
8)Imbibe the spirit of charity for philanthropy.
9)Be selfless for others to live well.
10)Chastity is crucial to fidelity.
A shortfall of any of the above mentioned will lead to the missing goal of divine forgiveness and prayer acceptance for perfect God/man relation.
To be counted worthy, exemplary, reliable and dependable in society, religious people must be scripture-compliant. This can be better found, maintained and sustained through routine checks based on personality traits tests as an evaluative tool for worship centers.

Former Oyo state Governor, Senator Rashidi Ladoja has called on Nigerians to pray fervently and ceaselessly for the emergence of competent leaders who shall possess the ability to deliver at all levels of Government.

Sen. Ladoja made this call recently in an interaction with journlaists, some hours after his elevation to the postion of Otun Olubadan of Ibadanland by the Olubadan, Oba Olalekan Blaogun, at hsi Ondo street, Bodiaj, Ibadan, Nigeria home.

''Nigerians should continue to pray for peace and unity. They should also pray for the emergence of competent leaders that shall be able to deliver. We need to be paryerful. Let us continue to pray to God,'' the fomrer Governor stated.

There is a neeed for an aggresive cleansing damage contorl to avoid possible human degenration.
The Holy Bible in Amos 4:1-2  hignlights the affection of God towards the oppressors and ego centered  personalities. The words of God is just like rain that does not discriminate.

"Hear this word, ye kine of Bashan, that are in the mountains of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.

2 The Lord GOD hath sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.

3 And ye shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which is before her; and ye shall cast them into the palace, saith the LORD.

4, Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal, multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years:''

There is a great challenge in achieving credible leadership. In addition the lack of care for surborinates and the people leaders ought to  effectively serve, most especiall7y when the wealth of the society or nation is already  entrusted in to their hands.

Vehemently, therefore, God the Almighty warns against such an attitude and state of ingratitude.

The Holy Quran 3: 75 refers to, "Among the people of the book (religious people and custodians of the law) are some who, if entrusted with a horde of gold, will readily pay it back; others, who, if entrusted with a single silver coin will not repay it unless thou constantly stoddest demanding  because, they tell a lie against Allah and well they know it.''

The best is expected from accredited religious leaders, but unfortunately, we are yet to have true religious leaders who fear God by following due process in doing things, but most of us plunge ourselves into avarice.

If the system is not to collapse due to human definace to the dictates of God, we must all show concern about the plight of the people by acting according to our various religious faiths to put in place credibility for the system to run correctly.

The concept of philanthropy will not only unbruden the yoke of the oppressed but help us realize credible

leadership and good governance.

This is the emphasis of God in the Holy Quran (9:34) on the leaders we must neither be nor emulate. "O ye who believe, there are indeed many among the priests and anchorites, who in falsehood devour the wealth of many and hinder them in the way of Allah." And there are those who hoard gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah; announce to them a most grievous cahstisement. "

For a nation to be truly independent, leaders must not be corrupt for them to be able to offer effective damage control.
