Abstract

Like ancient Israel, the social-environment of Nigeria?s Niger Delta, remains threatened as there is proliferation of social crimes resulting in some scholar termed “a society in total disarray with all community relationships dislocated.” The paper adopts the Aquinas? paradigmatic theory of natural law which stresses the need to maintain law and ethical principle on which all creation (including humans) are ordered. It also utilizes the Historical-Grammatical method which emphasizes the socio-cultural and grammatical context of a text as an interpretative framework for the study of emeth and chesed. It further employs the survey method to research toward generating the needed information from the Niger Delta people regarding the subject matter. This paper concludes that the Niger Delta region is confronted with security threats resulting from man?s deviation from responsible relationships in the society. It further submits that revisiting such principles like emeth and chesed which deal with honesty, reliability, faithfulness, functional and efficient community relationship with value for lives, could indeed serve as recourse to security needs in the human-ecological zone especially the Nigeria?s Niger delta region.
