Northern Nigeria has been considered the mainstay of Nigeria food production for its significantly high level of food reserved and fertile ground for crop cultivation. The genesis of the conflict of militant groups known as Boko Haram against the Nigeria government could be traced back to the execution of Yusuf Mohammed in 2009 who was the leader of the group of Nigerian security forces. The conflict destroyed so many business empires as well as economic activities in the region. The thrust of this paper therefore is that, much as killing, bombing, by Boko Haram militants, and general threat to lives and properties in the region constitutes grave security implication for our country’s economy, yet the current state of emergency and amnesty for repentant Boko Haram could not yield the desired result. The paper argues that, Nigeria does not need to adopt brute force to solve conflicts, but to dialogue with these militants in Northern Nigeria to embrace entrepreneurship as strategy for peace and security.

Standard values were significantly different with the three Gd sources. With the second there was also a systematic increase of 2% per 60,000 cps in the 44 KeV channel as the source decayed, whereas no such shift was found with the other two sources. This resulted in a significant in vivo intrasource (P less than 0.05) and intersource (P less than 0.01) variation and a six-month reproducibility ranging from 3.7 to 8.1%. After correction for these systematic errors the clinically important 2-year reproducibility in 26 premenopausal women was 3.4 +/- 1.3% for spinal BMC and 3.7 +/- 1.7% for spinal BMD. In comparison, the forearm single photon scanner had a long-term precision of 1.0 +/- 0.3%. With the presented techniques spinal measurements may therefore require 11.6 times (3.4(2):1.0(2] as many participants as the forearm measurements to detect the same changes in bone mass.

Education is an instrument par excellent that breaks barrier of communication in any nation with different languages like the case of Nigeria; it is the life of a nation who believe in oneness, and also the foundation of moral regeneration and revival of its people. It has been observed that no nation rises above the level of its education since it is the only medium by which individual has to develop themselves. For effective participation in politics especially the grass root, education has to be given its rightful place as proper funding from federal, state and local governments should be made a priority to make the sector produce the desired results which will stimulate political participation. In Nigeria for instance, much is not being derived from the education due to neglect on the part of government, corruption, policy discontinuity, infrastructure decay and lack of man power. To make the grass root participate in politics fully, education should be a priority and corruption be seen as death trap. Useful suggestions and recommendations are made.
