Abstract

Democracy is perceived as a process for strengthening of peace, boosting of foreign relations and attraction of citizens of other countries. This appears to be void in Nigeriaâ€™s Fourth Republic. From 1999, Nigeria has been experiencing increasing challenges from insecurity within the six geopolitical zones. These include incessant killings, ethnic clashes, religious unrest, kidnappings and terrorist attacks. Insecurity in a given nation can affect that nationâ€™s relations with other countries. This study therefore, examined national government and internal security in Nigeria between 1999 and 2012.The study employed a mixed method that combined the historical and survey of ex-post facto type of research designs. Six states: Bauchi, Bayelsa, Delta, Kaduna, Ondo, and Plateau were purposively selected as crises ridden zones in Nigeria from 1999 to 2012, while 1,493 Nigerians participated in the study. Results showed that to a large extent the national government of Nigeria has a major contribution to the internal insecurity experience in the nation between 1999 and 2012. Also, the citizensâ€™ reaction to the behaviour of the national government in Nigeria to domestic security is favourable. The study concluded that in spite of this problem, no nation severed diplomatic relationship with Nigeria but her national image declined. It is recommended that Nigeria must effectively combat insecurity so as to improve the image of the country both internally and externally.
