A critical re-evaluation of the history of most African States reveal the incongruence in their foundation. Without a review of the structural defects Africa may never get the right leadership. African nations require a rebirth. For Nigeria, we urgently need to answer the following questions:

1. Where is the boundary of “Nigeria”?
2. Who is a Nigerian?
3. Are we ready to build a country capable of producingpolitical and social stability in a complex multinational state with multiple sources of division?

We should therefore hold on on all activities until these National Question are answered.

Nigeria is currently facing a high level of insecurity, crony capitalism and brazen nepotism. The cavalier attitude of leadership to these challenges is making it imperative to examine the interest the existing political structure seek to promote and protect. There is therefore a growing need for a geostrategic SWOT analysis to develop strategic direction for the future of the ethnic nationalities.

It is prudent to examine what a spectrum of potentially existential matters ranging from political, economic and human security concerns portend for the survival of Nigeria. Many think inter-ethnic contestation for power with constant agitation for power shift could lead to another civil war. Others hold to the view that violent extremist activities and unchecked terrorism could lead faster to political catastrophe
