Abstract

Historically, there has been a huge interaction and evidential force thriving in the sociology of people’s religiosity and politics. This corollary borders strongly on the forms, quality and purpose of leadership. This nexus has been an intriguing exercise both within the society and academic circle. Leadership being one of the social institutions has remained an age long reality with a sustained and evolving universal phenomenon. The concept of world order has been primarily associated with the Peace of Westphalia negotiated in 1648 at the end of the Thirty Years War and treated as the beginning of the modern world. Similarly, Nigeria got her political independence in 1960 and seven years later plunged into nearly three years avoidable blood bath. The war was reportedly ended but since then, the country has been battling series of protracted instabilities. This is an unbiased investigation into the history of world order, the state of Nigeria socio economic and political reality and their attendant challenges. Adopting the human relations /transformational theories, the study also tries to analyze the social, economic, religious and moral implications of purposeful leadership on the building of a virile, fair, firm and harmonious Nigerian nation where strong bond, general development, principles of solidarity, sustainability, peace and brotherhood and the desired world order.
