In recent years, there have been the unprecedented flows of unauthorized weapons into Nigeria and this arguably has given rise to grave security concerns in the country. Through a systematic review of literature involving journal articles, textbooks , newspapers and white paper reports on the proliferation of unauthorized weapons in Nigeria, this study examines the failure of state institutions in regulating the proliferation of weapons in Nigeria and its imacts on state-building in Nigeria. Analyses of the study are rooted in assumptions of the failed state theory. Major findings revealed that the proliferation of unauthorized weapons in Nigeria critically exacerbate the humanitarian crisis bedeviling Nigeria and the country's efforst to state-building. The study concludes that the proliferation of unauthorized weapons accounts for the unabated destruction of lives and property in Nigeria, thereby obfuscating the consolidation of democratic processes and institutions in the country. The study recommends that Nigerian borders should be effectively manned by relevant security agencies, and patriotism should be appropriately rewarded, celebrated and encouraged in the country.

It relied on the lifestyle and exposure theory to deepen its analogy of crime victimisation and utilized a model to illustrate the cause-effects relationship between crime victimisation and youth development where parental structure, peer group, uncensored media production, environment and poor economy were portrayed as the causes of crime victimisation; while organised crime, sexual assault and sexually transmitted diseases, extremism and terrorism were depicted as effects of crime victimisation. Major findings of the paer revealed that crime victimisation undermines youth development in Wukari Local Government Area, Taraba State, Nigeria. The paper identified possible solutions to crime victimisation to include: social welfare policy revaluation, repositioning of law enforcement agencies, introduction of community correctional services, rehabilitation, reformation and the application of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) approach to violent conflict and crime victimization management and control.

The objective of the paper is to strengthen capacity towards ensuring good governance in Nigeria. The style theory formed the basis for scholarly analysis and this was backed with a conceptual framework that revealed a tripod model showing the input-output relationship between culture and leadership. The challenge as observed by this paper is that societies that rely heavily on external cultures as pivot for development tend to develop in a slow pace when compared to societies that look inward and brandish its inherent cultures. This paper observed that Culture and leadership are synonymous to societal productivity and effective governance. It further brought to bear that culture is relatively unique and distinct, that it shapes leadership and leadership invariably has a great impact on culture. To this effect, the paper recommends that stakeholders in the scheme of good governance such as the Civil Society Organizations (CSO) should synergize towards assisting the Government to structure and implement policies that would promote the culture of leadership as derived from the inherent qualities of the state or society it represents instead of projecting leadership from the relative position of an external culture.

Primarily, the study examined the critical role of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) in the Somalia crisis. The AMISON has helped the Somalia National Security Forces (SNSF) push the Al-Qaeda-affiliated terror group, Al-Shabaab, out the Somalia capital, Mogadishu, and played a critical role in the formation of a legitimate government and the training of over 4000 Somalia Police Officers (SPL) in different categories of police work. The paper also looked at the AMISOM background, what gave rise to its formations and their mandate. The paper made use of the sociological theory of war as its theoretical framework. Of interest in this theory is Mead's dismissal of the notion that war is the inevitable consequence of our "basic, competitive, aggressive, warring human nature"; war, for Mead is rather situated within the nature of state. The paper concluded by noting that regional peace and security in Africa should be given top priority by African leaders as this drives development and innovation. The paper recommended that a political solution should be given to the crisis where all the warring parties come to the negotiation table; prompt and adequate payment of troops should be adhered to; and, finally, democracy in Africa should be consolidated for a responsible leadership with conscience.
