ABSTRACT

The quest to safeguard the life and properties of the people prompted the establishment of the systems of government across the globe. Change says Heraclitus, the Ionian philosopher, is the order of existence. It's this change which thrives on the complementarity of the positivity and negativities of life that caused the present global experience of the horrific torment of covid-19 pestilence, which the governments of the diverse countries of the world have been inexhaustibly exploring for remedy. Human life is worth more than what it takes to preserve it. This poses the questions, does the government of Nigeria concur to the above stated ideological expression? Does she accord value to the life of her citizens? What has the government of Nigeria done to save the life of Nigerians in the global fight to remedy the malignant morbus of Corona-virus? Using the appraisal method of philosophical inquiry in this context, we discovered that the present government of Nigeria is all round corrupt and far behind other countries of the world in terms of security outfit, progress and development. She is incapable of providing good health services to her citizens, even economic security in the country is zero, Nigerians however, are dying out of hunger and ill-health. The present government of Nigeria is self-centered, dishonest and untrustworthy, even in this global fight to save the lives of the people, the present government of Nigeria is busy hoarding money and palliatives. In fact, the present government of Nigeria is a failure.
