Nigeria being a very rich country by nature is impoverished by mismanagement; therefore, the most monumental solution must be a repentance of her leadership. The national aristocracy must once more be committed and rededicated to the ideals of patriotism, nationhood and ambitious developmental projections and activities. Visionary and pragmatic leadership is urgently needed. It will be a social escapism to delegate the whole culpability of social abnormality to the government. It has always being my view, that only the people can determine and permit the national state of affairs. The Nigerian people should rise as one and challenge the menace of poverty with the will, intellect, judgment, words and actions. This function they must exercise through their positions as responsible parents, honourable servicemen and businessmen of integrity.

Government should pay more attention to the child in the formulation and implementation of policies. Fund transfers should be made to families with children in deepest needs. Steps should be taken to counter low labour market returns, so that parents will be enabled to carry out their financial responsibilities more appropriately. Prize regulation, should be taken more seriously by the Nigeria, taking into account the predominate economic nature of the citizenry, so that the basic necessities of life, can be generally affordable.

The pain of poverty is increased in the midst of the monstrous display of wealth by the few rich. There should be a national educational geared towards a change of consciousness. A consciousness that places wealth in its rightful place as a means, to a good life and positive contribution to the society, and not an end in itself. Until this is done, poverty will become an unbearable pain, manifesting most negatively on the child on the long run. The rich and powerful organizations, within Nigeria, should make themselves agencies for the children. Scholarships should be awarded to the Nigerian children, they should fund initiatives for the child’s holistic comfort, growth and development. Children should be taken out of the streets and the bridges, and given a place in the society. The should set up legal firms that provide social and legal protections for the Nigerian child.

The value of children should once more be reaffirmed by the Nation, community and family. Parents should be taught the eternal value of sacrifice. They should be ready to make themselves canopies for the children, protecting them from the negative effects of poverty. Instead of passively bemoaning the social abnormality of child poverty, they should transform the situation by gently and lovingly affirming the precious value of every child, in their actions and activities. A child most valued and loved even in harsh situations and painful conditions of lack has had the greatest gift of life, no money can buy.

According to Dare Adekanmbi “NO fewer than 15,790 lives have been lost to cultism and youth violence in the nation’s tertiary institutions of learning in the last four years.” This statistic statement is enough snapshot of this ugly trend of cultism clogging the wheels of development in Nigeria. In the midst of social violence, there is little possibility for social development. No matter how we may look at it, the development of cultism is invariably related to the development of the nation. Any intelligible infant in Nigeria knows two things. Cultism is an empirical virus that rears itself in all social divide of the nation. Each cult group, no matter the positive motivation for her formation, consequently metamorphose into sinister manifestations due to doctrinal and eventual conflicts with rival cults.

Anthropologically speaking, cultism is a creation of man’s desire to assert himself, to protect himself from negative environmental and social factors. In this process of cultic integration, there is a possibility that a man may forget his moral self and lose essence of his personal drive for the high ideals of freedom and progress. This also the prime damage of mismanagement of power at the hierarchy of the cult, where the use the code of full obedience to turn human agents into social machines, that serves their own private and selfish interests. Based on this premise, we can say with some certainty that, there is always a higher possibility for the transformation and manifestation of cultic existence as social negativity.
