It's no longer news that insecurity is at a peak in Africa's most populous nation, Nigeria. To name a few elements, kidnapping, banditry, abduction, armed robbery, unarmed robbery, scams, unlawful killings, genocides, threats to life and property are rampant in the land.
You'd only wonder: how did we get here?
From Boko Haram, to Killer Herdsmen to kidnappers and mass abductors, most of these elements all have a field day each time they operate. What's going on?
Many nations have warned their citizens to avoid traveling to Nigeria like the plague.
QUESTIONS:
1. How did we get here?
In other words, what do you think led us deep into this insecurity shithole? Bad governance? Poverty and illiteracy (as weapons of war and dominance?) External factors? Share your opinions.
2. What's the cure?
Yes, what do you think can be done to curb these? Stronger border? More disciplined militias? Better and more sincere leaders? Loyalty from Nigerians? Education and orientation? Poverty alleviation? Restructuring? Separation of Nigeria with strong borders and travel policy to 3 nations? Just name your opinions.
Let's go!

Solid topic. things.
Some members of this community take time to post solid stuffs. Kudos.
Back to topic: I think all these points raised are correct answers already. Bad government, poverty etc are causes. We lack strong borders too especially in the north.
Solution involves better government, poverty reduction and stronger and well equipped security apparatus- military, police etc.
Great topic.
