This paper re-emphasizes the relevance of philosophy in combating insecurity and bringing about good governance in Nigeria.It laments on the Nigerian negligence to the worth of philosophy in addressing the Nigerian social challenges which have called for concerns.Hence,the attitude of Nigerians to have soon forgotten the indispensability of philosophy in addressing social challenges,criticizing the political elites to bring about justice and good governance among other things,is really amazing.Consequently,Nigeria counts backwards whereas her counterparts count forward in terms of development,social tranquillity,good governance,practical and sincere consciousness of morality,strong economy and security,health and education wise,etc.Hence this paper attempts,with every possible effort,to define philosophy and elucidate its worth in tactically engaging insecurity and bringing about good governance.The end of this research will show that philosophy and its critical and systematic tenets are the basic answers to Nigerian challenges especially as they concern insecurity and bad governance.We will critically employ historical and ex post facto methods.
