Abstract
Nigeria without fear of contradiction, is one of the most troubled segments of our contemporary global village. The country is on the throes of revolutionary change that does not necessarily need a violent method of approach. Nigeria is always in the news not for working at the cutting edge of science and technology, but ugly developments caused by insecurity capable of taking us back to the Stone Age Period. This paper examined insecurity in Nigeria, counselling, the place of value education and security, major insecurity in Nigeria and effects of insecurity in education such as economical, sociological and psychological effects etc. Recommendations were given like, the Nigerian value system should be reinforced, strengthened and made objective rather than subjective, as it would ensure that people act in line with the established standards and principles
