An expository study of ( בַּטוּחָה ) security in psalm 127: a panacea to the menace of insecurity in Nigeria

Abstract

The paper examined an expository study of security in psalm 127: A panacea for the menace of insecurity in Nigeria. The paper majorly considered the position of God’s security in psalm 127:1-2 as a way out of the problem of insecurity in Nigeria. Although, many scholarly works have been documented on the topic that suggested, political, socio- economic solutions and revolutionary as a Panacea to the menace of insecurity in Nigeria. With the use of expository analysis of data collections, the findings revealed that the problem of insecurity has gotten to the climax point in Nigeria in which many innocent citizens have been killed, homeless, taken as hostage, kidnapped for ransom, trafficking and enslaved under the threat of the terrorism (Fulani herdsmen and Boko Haram). Despite the effort of our leaders and that of the security agencies in Nigeria, yet the problem of insecurity is gaining upper hand everyday without restriction. Thus, since all efforts to curb insecurity in Nigeria seem a vain, this paper therefore concluded and suggested that there should be empowerment for the security agencies in Nigeria. Every citizen should involve themselves in the act of security and shun any act of terrorism.
