The recurring sociopolitical and economic crises as well as insecurity challenges bedeviling the nation have been variously attributed to marginalization of certain regions in the scheme of things in the nation’s corporate existence.
The clamour and agitations have gotten to a boiling point with the rise in demand for self-determination through secession and or separatism.

Another demand which is also on the front burner is clamour for constitutional review which is crucial to restructuring.

The author, Chinua Achebe, in his 1983 book, âThe Trouble with Nigeriaâ, depicts a nation where leadership is the most critical challenge in addressing the issues of underdevelopment, nepotism, institutional corruption, inept and mediocre personality cult, and injustice that have bedeviled the nation. Nearly four decades after that publication, our national life is still plagued by these maladies, consequentially engendering an avoidable security malaise that is leading us to Somalia.
Without a central government for so many years, Somalia became a metaphor for a failed state. Although currently showing a flicker of hope, it is a nation in disarray and deep anarchy, where non-state actors like Al-Shabbab and warlords have held sway in their various âcoloniesâ.
