CIVIL RULE IS PREFERABLE TO MILITARY RULE

Good morning. the Chairman. President of the Political Science Association, Head of Department, Political Sci-ence, Students, invited Guests, Ladies and Gentlemen. I am delighted to be in your midst this day to support the motion which states: 'Civil Rule is Preferable to Military Rule.

Civil rule refers to governance according to a body of laws and rules popularly known as constitution which guides the conduct of government in a country. There is no doubt that civil rule or democracy is the most acceptable form of government throughout the whole world today. In fact, civil rule is the antithesis of military rule which is the governance of a country through the barrel of the gun.

Democracy or civil rule has its own peculiarities and attractions. Civil rule as aptly defined by Abraham Lincoln is the government of the people by the people and for the people In a democracy. power resides in the people through which they have the right to exercise their voting rights. The common people have the right to choose their representatives in the legislative and executive arms of government. These political rights can never be violated in a genuine democracy. The citizens have control over the excesses of their rulers and they can curb their excesses by voting any abominable government out of office or by impeaching it.

On the contrary, military rule violates the rights of the citizens. It legitimizes the use of force and the citizens are ruled under the military, by the whims and caprices of the soldiers who subject the civil society to the rigidity of the laws of the barracks. The soldiers are not answerable to the citizens, unlike civil leaders who are accountable to the citizens from whom they get their powers.

In addition to this. civil rule promotes the formulation and implementation of good policies and programmes that are people oriented. Civil leaders think only of the benefit that the people they govern can derive from a programme before they implement it. The military does not consider it as most of its programmes are formulated and implemented in accordance with the whim of the military administrator.

In this way, civil rule ensures the employment of good hands in governance. Civil leaders are usually tested hands who have proved themselves one way or the other in their chosen fields of human endeavour and professions. They bring their expertise and diverse professional experiences to bear on governance. Therefore, they always embark on enduring and long-lasting programmes and projects. The soldiers are shortsighted. This makes their projects to be mere fanciful and white-elephant ones that are transient in values and qualities.

Democracy, if allowed to thrive is the most stable form of government. It guarantees all the fundamental human rights, press freedom inclusive. as it is written in the constitution of the country. These rights are grossly violated under the military who continually roll out decrees and edicts with the aim of silencing the people.

The vogue today, Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, as far as governance is concerned is democracy. A nation wh is still under a military dictatorship is always regarded as a pariah nation. The people, the world over, want to have who a say in how they are ruled. It is civil rule that can give them this opportunity. Military rule only denies them this opportunity. This reason and other ones earlier mentioned make civil rule preferable to military. Thank you

THE NEED TO INCULCATE GOOD MORAL VALUE IN THE YOUTH

Morality is ethics or principles that makes one stand out among multitude and it is a means of assessing an individual's worth in any Society. Moral value therefore in our youth is what cannot be overemphasized in the youths. Youths of any country today are the leaders of tomorrow, as a result, there is the need to inculcate good moral in them i as the world has been bedeviled with a lot of immorality. Immorality is most common in our youths and if this menace is not curbed, it will further create anarchy in our environments and to its inhabitants. The need therefore to inculcate good moral value in our youths is a responsibility of not only the parents but the community as a whole.

Morality is what people look out for in every youth and every morally upright youth is a source of pride to his parents. Charity they say begins at home, and a youth must be properly disciplined from childhood by his parents. The parents of such child have little or nothing to worry about when he becomes a youth.

Another institution which needs to inculcate moral values in the youth is the community. The upbringing of a child in the African society is the total responsibility of the entire community members. The adults discipline a child with love when he misbehaves. More so, the government as in the case of Nigeria has discovered that youth without . ut m oral will constitute nuisance to the community. This we can see with the case of terrorism facing our nation the recent times. Thousands of lives have been lost and properties destroyed.

Furthermore, the government has seen that the most effective means of inculcating moral value in the. youth should start from the grass root. This has made the government to introduce civic education into the school curriculum from primary education to the tertiary. This is aimed at curbing the menace of terrorism, cultism, drug addiction, among others in the youth.

In addition, Religious groups and non-governmental organizations have seen the need to inculcate good moral values in the youth as a result of immorality which has taken over our society. Sermons have been preached and seminars organized to help advise the youth to dissociate themselves from groups which will not add positive values to their lives.

Principally, the role of the school precisely teachers and guidance and counseling department in instilling good moral value in the youth cannot be overlooked. Since youth spend more time at schools, they should be properly monitored so that they do not join bad peers. Youths should be properly discipline by the school authorities and reported to the appropriate authorities for rehabilitation if found to have belonged to any such bad group.

Finally, failure to pay attention to the timing youths has been the major cause of upheavals in our country. Our i youths should be engaged by our government and be made productive. A morally upright youth therefore is an asset to the nation at large.
