The evolving nature of national sovereignty prompts governments to consider relinquishing some control to prevent isolation. This concept was highlighted by NATO's intervention in Kosovo, where sovereignty was compromised to stop ethnic cleansing, showcasing the need for strategic adjustments. This study delves into the impact of globalization on Nigeria's sovereignty and security, particularly examining the roles of national dynamics energizing the security violence movement in the 21st century in Nigeria. Through a quantitative approach, data from 68% of respondents was collected via a Google form and analysed using SPSS software. The study reveals significant implications of globalization on Nigeria's sovereignty, security, conflict resolution, governance, and global engagement. These findings emphasize the intricate interplay between globalization and security dynamics, urging policymakers to factor in these complexities when devising national strategies. By acknowledging the historical significance of the Biafran Armed Forces and the Boko Haram insurgency, the research underscores that globalization has shaped Nigeria's security landscape over the past century. The research suggests embracing sustainable strategies to address security concerns, which involves cultivating religious harmony across diverse regions, bolstering economic progress in the southern area, upholding fairness and integrity in governance, and fostering global cooperation to tackle terrorism by exchanging information and forming regional partnerships.
