Background
On 1st January this year, Nigeria, like many African countries, was one hundred years old. Yet, in spite of its century of existence as a nation, and after half a century of political independence, the country is still facing unprecedented challenges. Security, broadly defined, has suddenly shot up to the top of our national agenda: militancy in the Niger-Delta, Boko Haram in parts of the North, ethnic violence in the Middle Belt. At the continental level, there are the crisis in the South Sudan, civil unrest in Egypt, the insurgencies in Mali, Libya and the Central African Republic. Corruption, nepotism, injustice and various forms of maladministration are threatening the very fabric of African States. Addressing these challenges require a paradigm shift that promotes proactive and constructive engagement, both with the causes and consequences of the persistent climate of fear that is crippling our nations and debasing our citizens.
