Abstract

The post-colonial African society is inarguably disposed to internal conflicts, most of which have resulted to full-brown civil wars. The major causes of some of these conflicts have been traced to the events that happened during colonial rule, such as implantation and promotion of ethnic and religious consciousness among the people by the European colonialists. Most perturbing is the fact that colonial legacies in the continent continue to dominate post-independence relationship, and weakened cohesion and unity among the diverse nationalities in African society. Solutions to these delusions propagated, first, by the European colonial masters, and now by Africans against Africans, have defied meaningful solutions as conflict persists in most countries in Africa. It is on these conditions that this study interrogates the similarities in the causes of conflicts and wars in post-colonial Africa, and how these conflicts affect development. Qualitative inquiry was adopted as the study’s research design. The study relied extensively on secondary sources of data such as textbooks, journal articles, dailies, periodicals, internet materials, among others. Failed-State theory was adopted as its theoretical framework.  The Study suggests among others that Africa post-colonial states should assiduously delink from their self-notions of colonial legacies and embrace the reality of their internal polities. Africa should also shun self-imposed ethnic consciousness and other internal factors causing conflicts and wars. Fairness and equity in distribution of commonwealth should be prioritised in order to prevent issue of sectional marginalisation that is consistently one of the major factors promoting conflict in African States.

Abstract

As Nigeria reels under the security challenges causes by the insurgency of the Boko Haram Islamic sect, and Islamic State West African Province, ISWAP in the North East region, as well as banditry, armed robbery, kidnappings for ransom, ritual killings, separatist movement of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB and the menace of the Fulani Herdsmen, the unprecedented killer COVID-19 pandemic and its concomitant global crisis changed the pattern of the security challenges and greatly undermined human security in the country. It is within this premise that this study made concerted effort to review the changing pattern of the Nigeria’s public safety and national security challenges in the COVID-19 pandemic era which in turn undermined human security. To achieve its objectives, this study adopted the historical research design which is qualitative and explorative in nature. Thus, secondary sources of data were reliably used in gathering of materials for the study and for gleaning extant literatures in the study area. Because of its contribution to the development of a civil society which is largely in practice in recent times, the Natural State theory was adopted as its theoretical framework. The study finds out among others that in the face of the outbreak of Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, its accompaniment global crisis and the existing national security challenges in Nigeria are on the increase rather than in the decrease and all of which in turn threatened human security that was already in comatose state. Study concludes that the nexus between the security challenges in the pre-COVID-19 and COVID-19 pandemic eras is that both have tolled on human and material capital in Nigeria. The study therefore offers useful policy options to these national issues.
