Abstract Since independence on October 1960, Nigeria has been ruled by the military for about 25 years. Over a long period of time, the military and the civil officials as two seperate social forces have followed each other and waged trials of strength on Nigeria's political arena. History has pushed the military onto the stage. Historical opportunities have made it possible for the Nigerian armed forces to keep on growing in strength, thus laying solid foundation for the military to stay protractedly at the helm of the state; on the other hand, the Nigerian civilians do have a record of participating in government and political affairs,yet up till today. not a single civilian leader who is politically mature and broadly supported by the masses has ever emerged in this largest black country of the world. Owing to the deep-rooted ethnic, regional and religious contradictions in Nigeria, there is a lack of mutual confidence and cohesion among the civilians throughout the country, making it difficult for them to form a powerful alliance in countering the the military regime. A group of military personnel have been tempered by their experiences of long-term holding of state power. Since coming to power, they have become increasingly mature in internal and external affairs and other fields. The military statesmen have relied both on political manoeuvre and on barrel of guns to maintain their ruling positions. The multiparty democratic wave on Africa in recent years will not be able to shake fundementally the bastion of the military rule. Within some time in future, 'Hand over government to the civilian'will remain the central issue of contention between the military and the civilian.
