A Political System of Administration simply means the field of work in which an individual or a group of individuals manages one or more systems with the goal of ensuring that the systems are running efficiently and effectively.
In order to attain this, a very sound and technical knowledge is one of the key element required.
The Political System of Administration in Nigeria is not only faced with the problems of Bribery, Corruption and Embezzlement alone but it is mostly affected by lack of Managerial Skills and of course lack of Willingness.
Nigeria requires a governance structure that will improve voter education and leadership competency, as opposed to the current system, which relies on empty promises, bribery, voter intimidation, and violence to secure votes.
The issue of governance is at the heart of Nigeria's Political systemic failure. The true Culture of Democracy are being submerged because of greed and unwillingness to demonstrate the Spirit of intellectualism and problem-solving capabilities.
The fact remains that there are no hidden factors leading to development of First World Countries (Developed Countries) except for of course the lack of Managerial Skills and Expertise on Political System Of Administration bedeviling the Nigerian State.
According to Jason Brennan, he believes that specific expertise is required to tackle socio-economic issues, so political power should be apportioned based on expert knowledge. Brennan suggests that, Nigeria lacks a system of governance in which leadership is based on capability. By implication, the argument that the failure of governance in Nigeria is the result of incompetent leadership; seems possible.
One of the most reliable Solution to the backdrop of Nigeria's Political System Of Administration is that a Criteria for acquiring Political Positions should be based on the level of Educational attainment in the field of Politics and Administration for any Candidate as a prerequisite for a Politician to occupy a certain Position.
And also the eligibility to vote should be accorded to individuals who satisfy certain educational criteria.
The Constitution must ensure that only citizens who can formulate policies and make informed decisions in the public’s best interest can run for public office.
The benefits of adopting such methods are that many Citizens would desire to be educated in preparation for Leadership. Political leaders will be held more accountable if the people is better informed. Civic education, Political Science, Public Administration e.t.c, on the other hand, are the type of education that is required to dramatically alter Nigeria's government landscape.
As Rotimi Fawole notes, the bar should be higher for those aspiring to executive or legislative office “to improve the ideas that are put forward and the intellectual rigor applied to the discussions that underpin our statehood.”
Nigeria is facing governance issues as a result of two decades of a failed democratic endeavor, as this article acknowledges. Governing these difficulties necessitates for Knowledgeable leaders and an equally well-informed electorate. The implementation of a Viable Political System of governance within the Nigerian context must be incremental, bearing in mind that Nigeria’s democracy is still evolving.

Insecurity and terrorism has been a major challenge to the Nigerian government since independence in 1960. The activities of the Indigenous People's of Biafra (IPOB) can be attested to be the main starting point leading to the major challenges of insecurities in Nigeria. This challenges emanated due to several defaults concerning the political Leadership of Nigeria such as Corruption, Nepotism, problems of ethnic pandemonium, religious crisis, regional crisis and so on.
Security being an essential prerequisite for true and lasting economic growth of a country, without it can lead to disruption of economic activities, decimation of consumer confidence, decrease in foreign direct investment (FDI), increase in brain drain, decline in productivity, etc.
This article will only be confined to emphasis on the issues of Corruption and Nepotism as the main Cardinals leading to the major factors that pose a threat to the challenges of insecurities in Nigeria.
HISTORY OF THE FACTORS THAT LED TO THE INSECURITY CHALLENGES IN NIGERIA SINCE INDEPENDENCE.
Nigeria has faced a number of insecurity concerns since gaining independence in 1960, caused by several factors constituting Corruption, Mismanagement of Public funds, Embezzlement, problems of ethnic pandemonium, religious crisis, regional crisis, nepotism and political instabilities among others. Nigeria also experienced an upsurge of military rule shortly after independence as a result of so many factors including, politicization of the army, lack of free and fair elections, regional and tribal based political party, regional differences, Corruption, etc.
However, even with the coming of the military, the problems of insecurity persist. This is because the military has likewise failed miserably in tackling the major issues behind the country's insecurity challenges, preferring instead to exploit power for personal and selfish benefit.
The major issues connected with the insecurity challenges of Nigeria are very much numerous but this article will be confined to talk about Corruption and Nepotism as the basic elements constituting the state of insecurity of Nigeria.
Taking the definition of Corruption simply as the inability to do the right thing, at the right time and within the right position and also Nepotism as the giving of an unfair advantages to your own family if you are in a position of power, especially by giving them jobs, the government has always been prioritizing these elements of both Corruption and Nepotism thereby leading to unfair treatments of some fractions of the society that can easily lead to conflict grown out of grudges and dissatisfactions; a case study of the Indigenous People's of Biafra (IPOB) who out of having the feeling of being marginalized begins to agitate for a secession. Although the IPOB movement threaded the wrong path in the cause of fighting for their position in the heart of the society by waging war against the government and without any doubts requires the government's urgent response to tackle them as insurgents who are trying to debilitate, destabilize and harm the peace and security of the country but the issues connected to the cause of all the violence shouldn't be completely neglected. These elements of politics of Corruption and Nepotism as continued to play a major role to the even recent challenges of insecurities especially in the Northern parts of Nigeria.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO THE INSECURITY CHALLENGES BEDEVILING THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF NIGERIA.
Without deflecting, the government must ensure to take serious actions to tackle the problems of insecurities in Nigeria ranging from strengthening the security agencies, improvement of possession of sophisticated arms and ammunition and consequently recruitment of the State Policing to ensure a grassroot eradication of insecurity in the country. The State Policing must be taken as a core foreign policy objective to facilitate a drastic measure in tackling the issue of insecurities as bedeviling the political economic development of the country presently as an avenue of the government to correct one of it's default in the fight against the problems of insecurities in the country.
Conclusively, without failing to point out the overarching problems of Corruption and Nepotism in the Political administration of Nigeria, the government of Nigeria must shun every act of Corruption or Nepotism especially in the areas of dealing with the problems of insecurities in the country.

TAKE THESE FIVE REASONS SERIOUS AND IMPLEMENT
Tenaciously and you would be so shocked on how fast your life would change.
Let’s move………….
1.Laziness/Comfort Zone/Procrastination:
This is the first reason a lot of people are poor. This reason is not a new thing actually It is
a straightforward reason. WHY?
A lot of people today do take this reason as been minor but if you actually understand this
well enough you would definitely stand out among the crowd.
2.Short Term Intensity;
One of the reason the poor people would remain poor is short term Intensity instead of
long-term consistency. HOW DO I MEAN?
A lot of people today are poor and would remain poor because of this. Short term intensity
gives you instant or even no gratification but long-term consistency gives you continuous
gratification.
A lot of people today only channel their energy to making money when they are broke and
once,they make few million, they channel their energy to other things less productive that
would constantly take away money from their bank accounts and would return them to back to being broke.
3.The Scam Mentality:
One common mentality all poor people have that would allow them to remain poor is the
SCAM MENTALITY.
Of course, I am not disputing the fact that there are a lot of scammers everywhere but in
the real sense not everything is a scam. Poor people’s life is usually filled up with obstacles
instead of opportunities. Their life is full of can’tinstead of can.Of course, you need to
shine your eyes whenever you want to do any transactions but mind you not all things are
SCAM.
4.Result-Oriented:
One factor that keeps the poor people poor is the act of been result-oriented. How do I
mean?
A lot of people when they hear that a particular person is Rich, instead of asking for the
process of making the money, they focus on the results and don’t end up getting any
tangible results.
To leave the poverty zone, one thing you should note is:follow the process and it would
cumulate to give the results.
5. Poor Mindset;
Poor Mindset is the reason poor people would remain poor. This might sound trivial but
your mindset is the key to unlocking wealth and no one but you can change and work on
it.
The major thing that separates the rich from the poor is the mindset.
Poor people have poor mindset while rich people have rich mindset.
Work on your mind because no amount of information given to you would work If you
have a very poor mindset.
Even though you are not rich, have the mentality the rich have and you would definitely
become rich with time.

Flood in general is a natural disaster but of course can be artificially triggered through the opening of dams and as such it leads to a lot of damages which include destruction of properties, destruction of farms and displacement of people.
Over the years, the government always warned people of flood areas to relocate and abandon their territory but what has been done to ensure that they get access to new homes and safe places to finally lay their heads is a question yet to be answered. It's a thing to ask people to leave their houses because of a threat but another thing is providing where they can be safe to call a home.
I think our attention should not only be focused on telling them about the dangers of being in the areas of flood but to provide a substantial places of more comfortability for them. "An avoided problem is much better than seeking for a solution."
