Caution has been thrown to the winds and Those-in-Charge in Nigeria today have gone into an external borrowing spree.
Presently, the country's external debt is about N39.56 trillion and at the end of the present administration, it shall be more.
In 50 Bc, Pubilius Syrus opined that debt is the slavery of the free. Syrus further asserted that a debtor is not only in perpetual bondage to his creditors until he returns his debts, but the debtor also breathes the air of insecurity characterized by harassment.

The activities of the present administration revolve around the above-mentioned, even as the administration continues to cope with the creditors' domination of its affairs.
Several months to the 2023 general elections, the government is yet to achieve a more diversified economy away from the oil sector, public debts are on the increase, the worrisome deterioration of education and health services, the absence of potable water, and erratic supply of electricity, food insecurity is on the rise and worsening transportation system are all the major discussions among Nigerians.

Of note, is the several billions of Naira, the Federal and State governments(Local Government an appendage) have plowed into infrastructural development with below minimal impact on real development.
Without a doubt, the glaring and embarrassing absence of transparency in governance and the unguarded waste of public funds by officials who enjoy blanket immunity now threaten the gains of development beyond the majority of Nigeria's population in the coming years.

Several instances abound wherein the committees on public accounts and other committees discover irregularities in the budget preparation and implementation of a sizable number of Ministries, Departments and Agencies(MDA)in the course of carrying out their oversight functions.

The committees usually send out notice of invitations to the Ministers and other heads of the MDAs, sadly, such invitations were ignored without consequences.

Indeed, all those in this dispensation are witnesses to the promotion of impunity and double standards, even as the suggestion is that Those-in-Charge are now preoccupied with preparations for life after governance.

The suffocating security situation across Nigeria and the priorities of certain heads of law enforcement agencies including focusing on the mode of dressing of their personnel has not brought reprieve in any way.

Security lapses in several states have been recorded with a wave of the hands, even though lives were lost. The fact that concrete efforts are yet to be made to address the worrisome situation, puts the blame at the doorstep of the Powers of today.

Criminals now perpetrate various forms of crime-heinous and grievous- without the expected consequences. The followers are also an integral part of the hydra like problems.

Unfortunately, personalities who ought be role models to all and sundry have continuously and repeatedly identified with the non-state actors responsible for the insecurity all over the country. However, the people are already making the above mentioned a major reference point.

Nigerians across the six geo-political zones are now patiently waiting for the general elections in 2023 to vote out all those who have been labelled the Powers of today at all levels of government and are behind the sorrows, evil, pains, anguish and lamentations in the land.

The failure of a government involves all who are in the government. It is a collective failure. In addition, aspirations to political offices ought to revolve around integrity, performance and accountability rather than blind loyalty and sycophancy.

It is very sad to come to terms with the fact that the 30, 000 Naira national minimum wage is nothing compared with the suffering occasioned by the Government facilitated economic hardships Nigerians are passing through.

Indeed, a number of states take their workers for granted by ensuring prompt payment of salaries even though the national minimum wage is not yet in existence in the affected states.

The Kano state Government is tinkering with the idea of reverting the workers' salaries to 18,000 Naira. This is a bad omen for Nigerians just as the Government at all levels are in their sunset period, putting finishing touches to governance.

In Nigeria, the Government at all levels are now rounding up their activities in preparation for the end of this dispensation. Based on this premise, the Founder, Spiritual Head and Grand Imam of Shafaudeen-in-Isalm Worldwide, Prof. Sabitu Olagoke opines that the people’s representatives have not been above board in their performances. Excerpts : 

Governance is better articulated through the system of justice and equity concept, where all forms of discrimination and marginalization would be absent for it to be productive for enhanced prosperity.

Nigeria needs to provide a leadership that is credible and visionary.

Nigeria cannot be said to have those who represent them in government , who have been transparent and selfless to the extent of reducing hunger, diseases and poverty that is prevalent everywhere.

The representatives have done little or nothing to address the worrisome absence of basic amenities, food insecurity, shortage of houses for the people among several other inadequacies.

The failure of governance at all levels in Nigeria has manifested in the declining capacity of political leaders and representatives of the people to recognize the systemic risks such as inherent and embedded in the following anti -societal acts and practices viz electoral malpractices, terrorism, armed robbery, kidnappings for ransom and ritual, ritual killings and police brutality.

It is unfortunate to note that Nigeria lacks a system of government in which leadership is based on capability that is competence, good work attitude, timely response to the yearnings of the people, meritocracy and the promotion of excellence.

-Landlords and Tenants Associations, Crime and Criminality

Rather than the above mentioned, governance in Nigeria has been overwhelmed by individuals who attain power through nepotism rather than competence as evident in the following anti-social practices : Influencing voters with food rather than vision, the consolidation of power through intimidation or the imposition of candidates who are unknown to the people.

Pension rights set the ethical standards of due process that would guarantee a good future for the retiree after leaving service.

A case study of Nigeria refers : if an employee retires at the age of 50 years or more, he or she can have immediate access to the Retirement Savings Account(RSA). 

Similarly, if an employee retires before the age of 50 years due to mental or physical incapacitation, he or she can have easy access to the retirement savings account.

It is important to note and state that an employee who retires under the age of 50 years in accordance with the terms and conditions of employment will not access the RSA until after six months of retirement, if he or she does not secure another employment.

Cases of embezzlement by personnel in charge of pension scheme management has attracted international embarrassment to nations where such corrupt practices have been reported to occur. Such action, has on record, led to the untimely death of many retirees that fell victims within the period of dashed hopes.

From the religious perspective , it is inhuman to cheat on people that have, over the years worked for their livelihood. This is more worrisome when there is an unwarranted delay in the payment of their gratuities as well as their pensions, such actions if left unaddressed may lead to people still in service to become kleptomaniacs for the fear of the future.

The Agricultural Development Corporation(ADC) has warned Kenyans to ignore entreaties by fraudsters to sell the corporation's land nationwide at give-away prices.
The ADC issued this warning through its Director, Richard Ngomo, who lamented that several Kenyans have been swindled by the fraudsters.
“ADC land is not for sale. ADC has not given land, especially in the Coast region. Anybody purporting to be selling ADC land is doing so at his own risk. Any developer wanting to buy land knows the channels of getting land from private entities, but for public land, as far as ADC is concerned, is not available for disposal at this point in time,” he stated.

The survival of democracy depends to a great extent, on the just and efficient working of the courts of law.

The people look up to these courts for reprieve against those who interfere with their rights.

Through the declaration and application of law, the courts make public in provisions are not subject to the will of an arbitrary, Government, but rather to a known and accepted set of rules .

In the present dispensation, the activities of the courts, when it comes to the dispensation of justice in civil and criminal matters, have not met the expectations of the people.

The quality of an unspecified number of Magistrates and Justices, who perhaps leave most of the work to their clerks is a discredit to the system.

The attitude, competence and integrity of judicial workers is also not a credit to the system.

Sadly, the combination of the rule ‘’no wrong without remedy’’, with the Rule of Law, does not protect the citizen from unlawful imprisonment or other injury at the hands of Government officials and agents. This has resulted in countless number of illegal detentions.

Not surprisingly, the enemies of democracy, by creating insecurity, has led this administration, one step after the other, to curtail liberty on the pretext of preserving peace.

-Law Enforcement: The Reactionary Approach

In a democracy, the transparent recruitment and training of law enforcement agents and the appointment of judges and magistrates substantially determines the functionality of the rule of law.

All levels of Government, irrespective of political party affiliation are obsessed with power and since they are composed of human beings, they are inclined to resent criticism, and see in ti a danger to the peace, where none exists.

A Government with intentions to persecute, will naturally begin with the more unpopular personalities, and the arbitrary treatment of them will serve as a precedent for other sections in time to come.

The people also appealed to the President to reduce the high cost of rents for apartments in the country.

‘’President Barrow should wave goodbye to politics by the end of 2026 and live as a private citizen in the country if he wants to earn respect and love from Gambia, Africa and the world at large. Barrow should put up severe measures that would address this case because landlords use agents to do whatever they like with rents and this is affecting the Gambian people.“President Barrow should critically look into the high cost of basic food commodities as they are no longer affordable by ordinary Gambians, ” Gambians stated.

4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

The function of a government goes beyond ensuring law and order, the arrangements to permit change must be functional. Change must revolve around consent and permission from the people.

In several climes, the toleration of criticisms by governments attracted peaceful change and those who had visible potentials to partake in government are brought on board. But sadly, the fact that legislative chambers at the Federal and a number of states did not meet the minimum constitutionally stipulated sitting requirements in the outgone year is a great setback.

Indeed, there is no ideal government for all places and there is no ideal for all times.

The security situation across Nigeria, the attitude of security and law enforcement personnel, and government go beyond scratching the surface.

When Government does not change promptly with the situation, the people become a major part of the challenges confronting the government.

The experience of France at the end of the 18th century and Russia in the 20th century is instructive on the necessity for change.

Note

The docile nature of government officials, for pecuniary reasons, can be seen in the activities of an individual who sighted poultry at No. 2 Kehinde Aderibigbe Street, Olorunsogo, Molete, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria(red gate).

Sighting poultry in a residential area constitutes a great danger to residents while the several numbers of doubtful characters who visit the poultry on a daily basis pose security threats for residents who still contend with crime and criminality.

From the religious point of view, the right to personal liberty of any individual is naturally restricted, when sinful acts are committed, criminal or civil, in a way that the long hands of the law catches up with such an individual. As a result such a person’s movement is restricted.

There is a need for all to conscious of the fact that the right to personal liberty guarantees the quality or state of being free. This makes us to realize the fact that the ability to do as one pleases must not be abused, since it guarantees a benefit of freedom from physical restraint, freedom from arbitrary or despotic control and the positive benefits of various socio-political or economic rights and privileges.

The right to personal liberty is freely enjoyed by children and the youth in their Id and ego stages of life, whereby parents are totally responsible for their care and protection. This is why good parenting is required to ensure that the children enjoy the right to personal liberty under their parents.

In the general society, the power or scope to act as one pleases extends to the state of being free withing the society, from oppressive restrictions imposed by the authorities on an individual’s way of life.

This equally bothers on the two perspectives of behavior and political inclination.

This makes it imperative for every citizen to be law abiding by ensuring that one’s liberty is never used in form of abuse or in an act which may be harmful to a person, society or the nation at large.

Indeed, personal liberty must be cherished by channeling it towards the positive aspects life to make one independent, self-sufficient, innovative and creative, straightforward person to be trusted.

Personal liberty leads to the empowerment of the citizen, who contributes positively to a nation’s development.

The right to personal liberty, therefore, ensures that every citizen irrespective of status is entitled to personal liberty and must not be deprived of such liberty, except in a procedure permitted by law.

Law and order is an instrument that determines happenings in an environment to prevent insecurity and other unsavory situations. There is a saying that goes thus, '' Where there is no law, there is no sin.''
This implies that the aberrations of life such as waywardness and frivolities are avoidable.
Law and order encourage the people to do the right thing for the good of all. In any environment wherein law and order are effective, the safety of lives and properties are guaranteed.
For the leadership network in government to ensure law and order, the right policies must be in place in addition to the assurance that justice and equity are enabled.
When justice and equity are lacking in governance would experience a myriad of challenges.
The election and appointment of people of integrity who are competent to manage the affairs of any institution or government are imperative.
The breakdown of law and order could bring in its wake, the mismanagement of resources and poor governance.

Law and order ensure that there is the promotion of accountability in the Ministries, Departments, and Agencies of government. This, in turn, facilitates public confidence, support, and trust for the government.
The dictates of the constitution must be obeyed by both the government and the people, for the law and order to thrive.
The Civil and Public service laws regulate the affairs of the Civil and Public servants. The  Scripture regulates and controls the affairs of religious adherents.
Professional ethics must be followed to the letter to be corporate in professional practices.
In the final analysis, the constitution of any nation, therefore, must be effectively utilized without abuse to promote justice and equity for ensuring a safe and secured society that must be sustained through peace and accelerated development.
