NATIONAL SECURITY: WHY POLITICIANS FAIL
According to Harold Lasswell politics is the power to determine who gets what, when and how much, meaning that power is about the allocation and distribution of resources.
The values behind the distribution of resources determine if a country is developed or poor. In Nigeria the commanding values of disunity and deceit overburden the state. These are values that deny the person peace of mind, leading to a rat race as the state belongs to nobody.
The politics of the moment can only exacerbate the chaos of poverty and violence as it is not politics to serve the common good.
