National Security Adviser - Sambo Dasuki

National Security. The phrase first appeared in the United States right before the truly amazing stock market crash in 1929. What's national security? Basically it's the utilization of diplomacy, economic, political and military means in order to protect your nation. National Security really became a concern during World War II. The concern over foreign spy's and the increasing loss of technology that can damage national security was full fledge and intense. Following the war, the cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union, began a complete new perspective on the definition of, national security. The majority of the concern surrounded the build-up of Nuclear capability on both sides. We'd became a nation in fear, fear from the very technology we created, of the possibilities and the devastation it may apply.

Over the years, we were confronted with many national security issues, that threatened our national security. However, it would not really hit home, until after the cold war had ended, before birth of a fresh century had begun. On September 11th, 2001, a terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York City, changed our perspective on national security forever. Terrorists had entered our nation, lived and trained to fly planes here, and then hijacked commercial jets and intentionally flew them to the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The nation mourned the loss of thousands. Furthermore, a nation was stunned at the weakness of our, national security. Having a valid identification card would become more vital than ever. Types of ensuring identification would never be the exact same again.

In early 2015, while serving as Nigerian national security advisor, Sambo Dasuki informed the Independent National Electoral Commission "that operations against Boko Haram militants meant the military "will be unable to provide adequate security" for the upcoming 2015 Nigerian general election. The elections, scheduled for 15 February 2015, were postponed until March 28

Also in April 2015, he insisted that the Nigerian military will ensure that Sambisa Forest the last Fortress of Boko Haram could be liberated before the inauguration of new government of President Muhammadu Buhari on May 29, 2015

Coincidentally, on the main one year anniversary of the abduction of Chibok school girls, Dasuki insisted that government was concerned with the welfare of every single Nigerian not only the Chibok girls, as other innocent Nigerian girls, boys, men and women were abducted by the terrorists and all efforts were being made by security agencies to rescue them. Significantly more than 300 abductees were rescued from captivity by the military couple of weeks afterwards.


Over another couple of months a brand new branch of government was formed, the Department of Homeland Security. The Patriot Act was also eventually placed into law. This gave the government more rights to take whatever measures were needed, to protect our national security, even when it meant that occasionally, individual rights may be overshadowed. Mass surveillance was installed. Immediate security measures were installed into our nations airports, to protect our passengers, our planes and now, our national landmarks. Having proper identification cards and paperwork became even more essential. What you could take on board an airplane became more and more examined.

Almost immediately, some Americans complained about their individual rights being violated. New national security procedures became increasingly controversial to some. What had way back when began with the need of proper identification, had passed into an entirely new light. New technology had been invented to produce that system even better and stronger. Where will it all lead to? Only time will tell. The controversy over what protects us, and what violates us, will continue steadily to linger in a political tug of war. National security is based on the principle that the protection of a nation, can occasionally, overshadow the protection of one. Proper identification cards will continue being an issue in national security. However, our identification card of tomorrow, may be much unique of our identification card of today.
