Boko Haram can be seen as an expression of frustration against injustice, underdevelopment, corruption, inadequate public service, political marginalisation and socio-economic grievances vis-a-vis the outlandish nature of the Nigerian political economy which fosters disequilibrium The attacks by Boko Haram defy a particular pattern: drive-by shooting, attacks on prisons, and police stations, attacks on churches and “sites of immorality”(such as beer parlours, gambling centers and commercial sex businesses) : and suicide bombing on strategic buildings. They do not discriminate their targets, but their targets of choice appear to be government officials and security agents. It is against this backdrop that this paper attempts to map out the uncertain future of the socio-economic activities as a result of the Boko Haram insurgency. The paper among others recommended the following; traditional institutions integration; economic empowerment and employment generation; reformation of security agencies; proper religious enlightenment; and government proactive attitude towards crisis

This document summarizes a study that analyzed how four Nigerian newspapers (The Guardian, Daily Sun, Vanguard, and Thisday) framed coverage of the Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria. The study used content analysis to examine how the newspapers employed different framing patterns and categories. Key findings were that the newspapers predominantly used a "policy response frame," focusing on government responses, except for the Daily Sun which emphasized "ethnic and religious frames." Overall, the "policy response frame" was used most often across the newspapers at 60%. The study aims to understand newspaper framing of the insurgency and how certain frames like emphasizing government responses can help minimize conflicts, while other frames like ethnic or religious ones may

An Insiders’ View of Electoral Politics and the Struggle for Electoral Reform...Kayode Fayemi
The document discusses electoral politics and reform in Nigeria. It notes fears about the 2011 elections given past elections organized by incumbent governments were marred by fraud and violence, leading to political instability. It argues that while elections commonly hold potential for violence, Nigeria's broken electoral system must be addressed to solve political problems. The transition to civilian rule in 1999 did not transform power structures and produced a repackaged space for militarily-controlled politics. Retired military officers dominate political parties, setting the tone for little focus on ideology. Incidents of aggression in society reflect the loss of compromise and accommodation in conflict resolution. Addressing the root causes of problems is important rather than distractions.
This document summarizes the political context surrounding Nigeria's 2003 elections. It notes that previous elections organized by civilian governments in 1964 and 1983 were marred by fraud and violence, which led to political instability. There is potential for similar issues in 2003. However, Nigeria's democracy is maturing as the judiciary has ruled responsibly on contentious issues and the government has respected court rulings. Overall, political transition is inherently conflictual but progress has been made, and elections should be viewed as one part of an ongoing democratic development process rather than democracy itself.

This document discusses seismic pounding between adjacent buildings and its effects. It provides background on instances of pounding damage observed during past earthquakes. Pounding can occur when buildings have different dynamic characteristics and vibrate out of phase, with insufficient separation distance between them. The minimum required seismic separation distance to avoid pounding is specified as the absolute sum or square root of the sum of squares of the peak displacement responses of the adjacent buildings according to building codes. The focus is on developing an analytical model to evaluate pounding effects on building response and determine minimum seismic gaps through parametric studies. Linear and nonlinear static and dynamic analyses are performed on a model of two adjacent multi-story buildings using SAP2000 software to observe displacements under earthquake loads.
Regional Integration and Cooperation as Panacea to the Middle East Conflict: ...inventionjournals
The multiple crises afflicting the Middle East have now reached a critical inflection point. The region is undergoing the proverbial perfect storm, with more states descending into civil war and a proliferation of failed states now being exploited by ISIS. Regional cooperation led by Egypt, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey represents the best means for resolving these problems and avoiding catastrophic scenarios for the Middle East in the decades ahead. Although the risk that the four powers will just muddle through and not cooperate is high given the “speeding train” effects of the megatrends and the momentum of the current conflicts in the region. The paper sets out to address questions about why and how the problem in the Middle East has persisted, why the integration of Yemen into the regional blocs has remained unattained amongst other concerns. Using secondary sources and content analysis the paper tries to explore the situation and concludes that what remains of the Middle East to attain greatness in global affairs lies in its undaunted resolve to forge a regional font. Drawing from this it concludes amongst other things that the countries of the Middle East must set aside their differences and limit the suspicion and tension amongst one another in the interest of a robust regional stability.

The aim of this research is to examine the perspective of the costumers concerning the environmental practices that are applied by grocery stores (Supermarkets), especially in relation to packaging and food products that have expired. In order to arrive to a conclusion, a questionnaire was distributed amongst Greek costumers. The results of this survey showed that packaging and expired food products are considered by Greek consumers, as a big environmental problem. In detail, they think that these problems are not handled in a resultful way by the Supermarkets, although the Supermarkets are somewhat environmental friendly. Moreover, consumers are ethical-aware concerning their purchases, and they are willing to visit another supermarket (than their local one) or a "green" store that is more environmental friendly. However they are not willing to reward any environmental practices of their local supermarkets, if they have to suffer higher prices.

Relations of Domination on Bourdieu’s Perspective between Food Handlers and T...inventionjournals
Restaurants, as social spaces, are scenarios of interaction between food handlers and bosses in the daily preparation of the meals offered to customers. Ensuring food safety, and therefore, the prevention of the occurrence of foodborne disease outbreaks, is the responsibility of both parties. However, some structural and social aspects are seen as elements that may act to depreciate food safety. A qualitative ethnographic study was carried out with the use of participant observation in commercial restaurants in two Brazilian cities. Thus, this article seeks to present several points of conflict between food handlers and their bosses and their implications for food safety.
The Community Perception About Colíder’s Colonization In Brazilinventionjournals
This article aims to register the history of Colíder’s colonization in order to understand the meanings that the settlers community has in relation to three aspects: publicity, encountered difficulties and the confrontation with the “Settler”. This register was made through the three settlers’ testimony: José Afonso Pereira, Gema Ignês Postal Barbiero and Helena Maria Miranda, who arrived in the region from 1974. Colíder city is located in the midwest region of Brazil and it was colonized by a private company called "Colonization, Industrialization and Rural Development". The settlers’ migration to the new city in searching of better conditions was compromised by the non-compliance of the colonizing company in providing the necessary documentation of the land possession. The reality is richer and more complex, and what has been presented is a simplification. Therefore, the study is justified, since it is hoped that the registration of these informations will help the future generations to understand how was Gleba Cafezal’s occupation, now Colíder.

Role of Executive Functioning and Literary Reapproach for Measures of Intelli...inventionjournals
Over the years, Intelligence has been a crucial part in Psychological practices. Basic operational definition behind construct of Intelligence proposed by Wechsler (1944), was to act purposefully (Plan and control behaviors) and thinking rationally (organize and direct behavior). This operational definition was afterwards incorporated in measures for intelligence but as these measures were first aligned with academics, a major part of basic definition got overlooked. Previously Intelligence was divided in two major components that are Crystalized and Fluid Intelligence but resent Literary Reaproach was intended to enlighten the basic purpose of Intelligence measures and to highlight the overlooked components of Intelligence. These components are then further aligned with behavioral interpretations of Executive functions. It is proposed that alliance of Fluid Intelligence with Executive Functioning can bring pronounced change in clinical practices and change the bookish views of Intelligence into a functional approach.

This study investigated the relationship between the reading comprehension abilities in Persian (L1) and English (L2) of 109 Iranian EFL learners at intermediate proficiency levels. The participants completed standardized reading comprehension tests in both languages. Statistical analysis found no significant correlation between the learners' scores on the Persian and English tests. This suggests there is no significant relationship between the learners' reading comprehension abilities in their first and second languages. The study aimed to provide insight into how L1 abilities may or may not transfer to L2 reading comprehension to help inform EFL teaching practices.

Accessibility of Public Spaces: Case Study of Ikeja, Lagos State, Nigeriainventionjournals
T: This article is about people with different capabilities. It engages with the theoretical framework of the social model of disability about how disability and ageing issues should be considered. In doing so it pays particular attention to the accessibility of the built environment. Disability will affect the lives of everyone at some point in their life, it is time society change to acknowledge this, with the ageing population and the prevailing increases in the number of the physically disabled people, public building, community design and other environmental barriers must be re-examined. Owing to this basic knowledge that the scholars and newspaper world regards "the aged" and "the disabled" as if they are discrete groups outside the common present thought of the society, it is therefore needed to understand that ageing and disabilities is a stage in life that people will experience at one point or the other of their life. The research work inquiries into the prominent demands for accessible built environment to carter for the population growth of the senior citizen and the disabled people.

Post Boko Haram Insurgency and Trafficking of IDPS in the Northeastern Nigeri...ijtsrd
This article is designed to investigate the consequences and solutions of the trafficking of IDPs in the post Boko Haram period in the North eastern Nigeria. The specific objectives of the study are to determine the extent of human trafficking among IDPs in the North eastern Nigeria to find out if Boko Haram insurgency has increased human trafficking to examine the consequences of human trafficking among Boko Haram driven IDPs in the study area and to provide the possible solutions to human trafficking of IDPs. The article found out that the extent of human trafficking among IDPs is high in the study area and Boko Haram insurgency has contributed to that. The consequences of human trafficking among Boko Haram driven IDPs includes the involvement of some IDPs into Boko Haram through human trafficking sex slavery due to human trafficking human trafficking reduces the chances of their liberation from IDPs status dehumanisation and engagement of the IDPs into baby factory assault and even murder, bonded slavery and other psychological consequences like insomnia, lack of trust to strangers and post traumatic stress disorder, etc. As the possible solutions to human trafficking of IDPs in the North eastern Nigeria, therefore Boko Haram insurgency should be fought to prevent trafficking of IDPs, there should be special intervention for the IDPs as safety net there should be synergy between law enforcement agencies in fighting human trafficking community participation, community policing and contribution of neighbouring states Dr. Bukar Jamri "Post-Boko Haram Insurgency and Trafficking of IDPS in the Northeastern Nigeria: Consequences and Solutions" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-5 | Issue-4 , June 2021, URL: https://www.ijtsrd.compapers/ijtsrd42359.pdf Paper URL: https://www.ijtsrd.comother-scientific-research-area/other/42359/postboko-haram-insurgency-and-trafficking-of-idps-in-the-northeastern-nigeria-consequences-and-solutions/dr-bukar-jamri
This document summarizes a study on the genealogy, occurrence, social and psychological consequences of violence in Nigeria. Some key findings include:
- Violence in Nigeria has historical roots dating back to the civil war in the late 1960s. Factors like youth unemployment, substance abuse, and mental health issues contribute to modern violence.
- Nigerians experience significant psychological impacts like acute stress, shock, and post-traumatic stress disorder from frequent bombings and kidnappings. This has caused increased fear and disease among the population.
- To address violence, the study recommends improving education on stress management, providing crisis counseling, addressing socioeconomic inequalities, and reforming the political system to be more inclusive.
This Keynote Address highlights the tragic accounts of the rise of insurgency under Boko Haram, inactions of governments fuelled by conspiracy theories and praxis of inactions and assessment of calamities experienced by citizens caught under the crisis. By all estimation, HE Shettima’s Keynote Address is an important leadership guide to managing humanitarian crisis and truly epitomizes Gen. Murtala's courage in leadership.
Impact of Corruption on Insurgency in the North-Eastern Region of NigeriaIOSRJBM
This study is on the Impact of Corruption on Boko Haram Insurgency in the North Eastern Region of Nigeria, specifically, Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States. The study adopted content and observational analysis. Documentary ideas as expressed in text books, journal articles, magazines, Internet and Newspapers was analysed and utilised. The documentary materials were complemented with the observation methodology of data collection. The period of the study is 2009 to 2015. In the course of the study, it was discovered that the failure of the Nigerian Military to defeat the Boko Haram Insurgents within the study period was due to corruption perpetuated by the office of the former National Security Adviser. In conclusion, it was clear without doubt that corruption had negatively impacted on the war against insurgency in the North Eastern Region of Nigeria and this was due to the sharing of the $2.1 billion dollars and the questionable contracts awarded which were not executed by some companies and persons. The study therefore recommended that the Federal Government under President Muhammadu Buhari should continue with his war against corruption and ensure that all outstanding funds with the former National Security Adviser and his collaborators were retrieved.
Boko Haram - An Examination of Terrorist Resiliency and Adaptability 02 Novem...ChadCogan
Boko Haram has proven resilient and adaptive in the face of anti-terrorist measures. Though their goals and tactics have been forced to change, the group has survived, continuing to successfully carry out attacks in the region. Boko Haram serves as a case study in the difficulty of clearly defeating a terrorist group.
Boko Haram began in northeastern Nigeria in 2002 under the leadership of Mohammed Yusuf. They have carried out numerous attacks against police stations and government buildings, killing over 30,000 people. Their goal is to overthrow the Nigerian government and establish an Islamic state. In 2014, they kidnapped 276 school girls, and have used babies as suicide bombers. As a result of Boko Haram's violence, over 2.6 million people have been displaced. The group has devastated communities and left families wondering about their missing loved ones.
Predictors and Incidence of Kidnapping in Contemporary Nigeria: A Socio-Crimi...paperpublications3
Abstract: In this paper, which is essentially a literature review, the researcher undertook a critical investigation into the major predictors and incidence of kidnapping in contemporary Nigeria. The paper further reviewed the various scholars’ and media pundits’ perspectives on kidnapping. Nigeria is in the throes of kidnapping occasioned by a multiplicity of both individual risk factors and social forces. The rising incidence of kidnapping is disturbingly high and destructive to both human and capital development in the country. The current pattern or trend of kidnapping in contemporary Nigeria is a basket case; little wonder therefore that the latest global ranking placed Nigeria as the fourth most notorious kidnapping nation where people can be easily kidnapped with impunity. The quest to settle political differences, inordinate ambition to acquire and accumulate wealth, poverty and social exclusion, perpetual pains of unemployment, and reaction to existing detestable social and political developments are some of the main causes of kidnapping in Nigeria. The central policy implication of this paper is that it will guide security agencies and policy makers on crime and criminality in making reliable policies that will reduce the incidence of kidnapping in Nigeria to the barest minimum.
This document summarizes an article about insurgencies and national security in Nigeria. It discusses several insurgencies plaguing Nigeria, including Boko Haram, Fulani herdsmen, militancy, kidnapping, banditry, and cattle rustlers. These insurgencies have undermined national security and development by escalating issues like migration, political instability, decreasing foreign investment, and underdevelopment. The document recommends that the Nigerian government improve intelligence gathering and sharing across security agencies, equip and train armed forces with modern weapons, and eliminate corruption to help curb the menace of insurgencies.
The document discusses power sharing in Nigeria between Muslims and Christians. It provides background on the ethnic and religious composition of Nigeria. Power sharing is seen as important to respect democracy and avoid conflicts between social groups. However, the introduction of Sharia law in Muslim-majority states led to tensions between 1999-2000. Violence has occurred periodically since then, with the conflict becoming more violent due to Boko Haram's armed rebellion against the secular government since 2009. Over time, more states adopted Sharia law fully, exacerbating the religious divide in Nigeria.
The Implications of Settling Displaced Persons in Host Communities on Managem...ijtsrd
This document summarizes a research paper that investigated the implications of settling internally displaced persons (IDPs) in host communities on public services management in Yobe State, Nigeria. The study found that settling IDPs negatively impacted key areas like employment, trade, nutrition, and education. IDPs faced limited job opportunities and often worked low-paying manual labor. Trade opportunities were also limited in IDP communities and many relied on aid from non-governmental organizations. The government did not provide adequate assistance or job opportunities. Overall, the influx of IDPs overstretched public services in host communities. The study concluded the impacts on public services were negative and recommended the government implement policies to assist IDPs, address the root causes of displacement
The document discusses power sharing and its importance in a democratic system. It provides several reasons why power sharing is essential: (1) It respects the spirit of democracy by allowing all communities and social groups a say in governance; (2) It helps avoid conflicts between different groups by ensuring no group feels excluded; (3) It prevents tyranny of the majority by not allowing the majority to dominate the minority groups. Maintaining the democratic spirit is the key moral reason for power sharing.
Fanaticism and Barbarism: Synonyms of Dysfunctionality in Nigeria Todaypaperpublications3
Abstract: Civility is the language of decency, moderation, honesty, truthfulness, justice, equity, tolerance, mutual understanding, dialogue and mutual responsibility for the development of any society. There are other associated values and virtues, which are imbedded in the cultivation of civility in a polity such as patience and forgiveness. On the other hand, it renounces violence, coercion, destruction of life and property, as well as fanaticism and barbarism in every aspect of societal life. It denounces corruption and disorder. In fact, civility is antithetical to anarchy and lawlessness. But the reality of the Nigerian society manifests a total opposition to all the aforementioned virtues towards development and progress, especially with the current threats of Boko Haram and other political manipulations of the economy. It is in the light of this fact that the paper considers various acts of fanaticism and barbarism inflicted on the country, thus, challenging the sustainability of Nigeria as a nation.
Primordial Politics and Democratic Consolidation in Nigeria’s Fourth Republicijtsrd
This paper is an inquisition on the impact of primordial politics on democratic consolidation in Nigerias fourth republic. Data for the research was gathered from secondary sources including Books, Journals, Newspapers, Magazines, and the Internet. The analysis of the data gathered was based on the historical descriptive method which attempts to understand the phenomenon of primordial politics by determining it process of evolution, growth, and dynamic of internal changes. Findings revealed that socio political and economic deprivation amounting to internal colonialism by one section of the country over the others has bred frustration leading to recourse to ethnicism as expressed in the pattern of voting. The paper therefore recommends, Constitutional amendments, rotational presidency and two party system as a panacea for nationalism.

Prediction of Electrical Energy Efficiency Using Information on Consumer's Ac...PriyankaKilaniya
Energy efficiency has been important since the latter part of the last century. The main object of this survey is to determine the energy efficiency knowledge among consumers. Two separate districts in Bangladesh are selected to conduct the survey on households and showrooms about the energy and seller also. The survey uses the data to find some regression equations from which it is easy to predict energy efficiency knowledge. The data is analyzed and calculated based on five important criteria. The initial target was to find some factors that help predict a person's energy efficiency knowledge. From the survey, it is found that the energy efficiency awareness among the people of our country is very low. Relationships between household energy use behaviors are estimated using a unique dataset of about 40 households and 20 showrooms in Bangladesh's Chapainawabganj and Bagerhat districts. Knowledge of energy consumption and energy efficiency technology options is found to be associated with household use of energy conservation practices. Household characteristics also influence household energy use behavior. Younger household cohorts are more likely to adopt energy-efficient technologies and energy conservation practices and place primary importance on energy saving for environmental reasons. Education also influences attitudes toward energy conservation in Bangladesh. Low-education households indicate they primarily save electricity for the environment while high-education households indicate they are motivated by environmental concerns.

Accident detection system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The Rapid growth of technology and infrastructure has made our lives easier. The
advent of technology has also increased the traffic hazards and the road accidents take place
frequently which causes huge loss of life and property because of the poor emergency facilities.
Many lives could have been saved if emergency service could get accident information and
reach in time. Our project will provide an optimum solution to this draw back. A piezo electric
sensor can be used as a crash or rollover detector of the vehicle during and after a crash. With
signals from a piezo electric sensor, a severe accident can be recognized. According to this
project when a vehicle meets with an accident immediately piezo electric sensor will detect the
signal or if a car rolls over. Then with the help of GSM module and GPS module, the location
will be sent to the emergency contact. Then after conforming the location necessary action will
be taken. If the person meets with a small accident or if there is no serious threat to anyone’s
life, then the alert message can be terminated by the driver by a switch provided in order to
avoid wasting the valuable time of the medical rescue team.

Abstract: Boko Haram can be seen as an expression of frustration against injustice, underdevelopment,
corruption, inadequate public service, political marginalisation and socio-economic grievances vis-a-vis the
outlandish nature of the Nigerian political economy which fosters disequilibrium The attacks by Boko Haram
defy a particular pattern: drive-by shooting, attacks on prisons, and police stations, attacks on churches and
“sites of immorality”(such as beer parlours, gambling centers and commercial sex businesses) : and suicide
bombing on strategic buildings. They do not discriminate their targets, but their targets of choice appear to be
government officials and security agents. It is against this backdrop that this paper attempts to map out the
uncertain future of the socio-economic activities as a result of the Boko Haram insurgency. The paper among
others recommended the following; traditional institutions integration; economic empowerment and
employment generation; reformation of security agencies; proper religious enlightenment; and government
proactive attitude towards crisis
I. INTRODUCTION
It is no more news the quantum of destruction, both human and material, meted by the Boko Haram
insurgency on the citizenry. But its aftermath is likely to be of interest to analyst in Nigeria and beyond.
Over two million persons (World Bank, 2016) were rendered homeless, as they were forced to flee
their places of abode making them refugees in their own land and are now Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).
About 200,000 children were made orphans. Similarly, a new phenomenon called Civilian Joint Task Force
(CJTF), a youth Volunteer Vigilante Group, emerged with its socio-economic consequences. The CJTF
constitute a social challenge as this army of unemployed youth can pose another problem to the state which may
be difficult to handle.
The operations of the insurgents are aimed at crippling the economic activities of any place they spread
their tentacle as well as led to migration of people from the affected places due to restiveness (Aro, 2013). Aro
further noted that, ‟no wonder the Nation Newspaper (2013:3) reported the activities of the Boko Haram
thus:”Borno and neighbouring Yobe State - epicentre of the activities of the sect-have been crippled
economically.......
Less we forget, the insurgency was triggered by the extra judicial killing of, Mohammed Yusuf, the
erstwhile leader of “JammatuAhalulSunnah Lil Daawatiwal Jihad,” popularly called Boko Haram. Similarly,
cases of human rights violations were reported, especially by the Amnesty International, hence many persons
might have died in detention. Reasons adduced for this include; a speculation of outbreak of cholera and other
diseases in detention camps or could as a result of torture by security operatives.
Prior to the advent of the Boko Haram insurgency, Borno served as a nerve centre for agricultural and
commercial activities including international trade. The state is bordered by Cameroon, Chad and Niger. It
produces grains such as maize, sorghum, corn and millet as well as legumes like beans, groundnut etc. The state
also produces cash crops such as cotton, beni seed. Hides and skin, cattle are imported into the country through
Borno border. All these activities have been stalled by the insurgency.
The future is uncertain. There are likely preponderance of social and economical consequences linked
to the emergence of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), the children orphaned by the insurgency and the
Civilian Joint Task Force (CJTF). Though not wanting to sound cynical, the socio-economic aftermath can
better be imagined than said. Such possibilities as resurgence of insurgency and militancy arelikely. This is
adduced against the backdrop of renewed violence in the Niger Delta with the bombings of some oil pipelines;
amidst winding up, by government, of the amnesty programme later this year. The Shiite-military clash in Zaria
and Zamfara gun attacks (a style similar to that of the Boko Haram). All these could be seen to be emanating
from the weakened security situation.
A considerable effort to nd the violence and build a sustainable peace to steer the economy to
sustainability seems far from realization (Nwanego and Odigbo, 2013). However, contrary to this assertion,
government believes the insurgents have been sufficiently decimated and the wra is coming to end. If so, what is
the aftermath of the insurgency, particularly on the socio-economic life of the population? How realistic the
ultimate end of insurgency? How can the consequences be mitigated? How can future occurrence be averted?

What is the fate of those who lost their means of livelihood? It is against this backdrop that this paper is poised
to make an exposition and proffer possible solutions.
Modus Operandi of the Sect
Boko Haram can be seen as an expression of frustration against injustice, underdevelopment,
corruption, inadequate public service, political marginalisation and socio-economic grievances vis-a-vis the
outlandish nature of the Nigerian political economy which fosters disequilibrium (Tat et al,2014).
The upsurge in terrorism since the late 1970s notwithstanding, the most familiar form of violence used
by insurgents has been guerrilla warfare. In guerrilla warfare the primary targets are the government‟s “armed
forces”, police, their support units etc.
Insurgents may use more than one form of warfare. The combination of terrorism and guerrilla warfare
is the most common. Although many actions of the insurgents are often categorised very easily, others may fall
into grey areas; bomb attacks against civilians in public places- bazaars, department stores, buses- are clear acts
of terrorism.
Insurgents differ in their use of tactics and methods. In a 2004 article, Robert R. Tomes spoke of four
elements that “typically encompass an insurgency”;
1) cell-networks that maintain secrecy;
2) terrorism used to foster insecurity among the population and drive them to the insurgents for
freedom;
3) multifaceted attempts to cultivate support in the general population, often undermining the regime;
and
4) attacks against the government.
Similarly, the Boko Haram insurgents adopt some of these tactics to unleash violence and evoke fear
into the populace.
On 16th
june 2011, a suicide bomber from the Boko Haram movement blew himself up at the national
headquarters of Nigerian Police Force- Louis Edet building in broad daylight (Tar et al,2014).
Since 2009, the Boko Haraam group has unequivocally exhibited its capabilities to reign terror not just
in the north-eastern part of the country where their activities led to the imposition of state of emergency in
Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states in 2013, but across the country, as exhibited in various places like Kano,
Kaduna, Nasarawa, and in Abuja and its environs, where there were bomb blasts in Nyanya and Wuse11, in
addition to an attempted jail break at the headquarters of the State Security Service (SSS).
The group has also evolved in its mode of operations, from simple attacks and open confrontations with
the security forces, to highly calculated and sophisticated attacks using improvised explosive devices (IEDs),
suicide bombings and guerrilla tactics. The group has also carried out targeted killings, and consequently carried
out assault against non-combatants, the notable of which was the April 14, 2014 kidnap of over 250 schoolgirls
from Chibok (op cit.)„
The attacks by Boko Haram defy a particular pattern: drive-by shooting, attacks on prisons, and police
stations, attacks on churches and “sites of immorality”(such as beer parlours, gambling centers and commercial
sex businesses) : and suicide bombing on strategic buildings. They do not discriminate their targets, but their
targets of choice appear to be government officials and security agents (Tar et al, 2014)
The Magnitude of Destruction by Boko Haram Insurgents
The magnitude of the destruction unleashed by the Boko Haram insurgents on Nigerian and
neighbouring countries of Chad, Niger and Cameroon, cannot be overemphasized. As at 2011, more than 264
children were orphaned, 392 women widowed, 28 policemen killed, several police stations razed, over 700
inmates and sect members were forcefully released from Bauchi Prisons and 109 died in bomb explosions near
the Mogadishu Barracks in Abuja. (Onuoha, 2011).
Awojobi (2014) reports that, since the first attack of Boko Haram in 2009 in one of the police barracks
in Bauchi State that killed scores of people, including police officers and members of their family, and the
subsequent killing of the leader of the sect, Yusuf Muhammad, the coordinated attacks by Boko Haram have
intensified. The extrajudicial killing of the sect leader made the group intensified its attacks on government
departments, the churches, markets, homes, police and military formations (Ajah, 2011). It is erroneous to
believe that the sect attacks churches without doing same to the Muslim worshiping centres. Boko Haram has
attacked mosques in the northeast and even killed some Islamic clerics that are opposed to their ideology. It is
estimated that over 10,000 Nigerians have been killed and maimed by the sect since 2009. Abubakar Shekau
who was the deputy of Muhammad Yusuf took over the mantle of leadership of the sect after Yusuf‟s death. The
year 2014 has been the worst period of the group attacks, according to Human Right Watch. Over 700 people
have been killed in attacks on 40 villages in the northeast states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa. Most of the

attacks are concentrated in these three states. However, the nation‟s capital Abuja, Jos, Kano and some part of
the north have experienced attacks from Boko Haram.
These figures are just like a drop in the ocean. In 2016,the World Bank Report, indicates that ,in Borno
State alone lost 20,000 citizens and suffered property damaged worth 5.9 Billion U S Dollars. This represents an
estimate of the value of public and private property damaged by the insurgents.
The Socio-Economic Aftermath
Since independence, Nigeria appears to have been bedevilled with ethno-religious conflicts. Over the past
decades of her Nationhood, Nigeria has experienced a palpable intensification of religious polarization, manifest
in political mobilization, sectarian social movements, and increasing violence (Lewis 2002: 1).
The inabilities of the Nigerian leaders to tackle challenges, distribute state resources equitably and render
services to the people appear to be one of the causes of ethno-religious violence. Salawu (2010) argued that a
major cause of what we now see as ethno-religious conflicts in Nigeria has to do with the accusation and
allegation of neglect, marginalisation, nepotism and bigotry.
No doubt security problems caused by the Boko Haram poses a great challenge to our socio-economic life.
Former Nigerian Vice president in his speech titled; “Socio-economic Dimensions of Nigerians Internal Security
Challenges, “posited thus:
One of the tragedies of the Nigerian situation is that to think of security as though it is
disconnected from economic and political development, when in fact they are inter-related.
Sometimes we even look for imaging enemies when the enemies are with us. The rising were
of insecurity in the country results largely from socio-economic challenges: high level of
unemployment, high level of illiteracy; and poor and unaccountable governnace. Put in another
way, it largely results from the inability of the government to fulfil the aspirations of our
people especially our young people.
The Boko Haram Insurgency pose grave consequences to national development hence the socio-economic
aftermenth could better be imagined then said.
Some Of These Consequences Include:-
Threat to National Security in Nigeria.
Undoubtly, the Boko Haram Insurgency, poses a threat to national security. Nwanenbo and Odegbro
(2013) posited that,” Boko Haram seems to be a destructive political tool with a cosmetic pretension of being
religious”. The insurgency exposed the seemingly absence of synergy amongst the security agencies, especially
in terms of intelligence sharing.
Furthermore, there is the resurgence of militancy in the Niger Delta with its attendant economic
consequences. This weakened security gave rise to the Shiate-Military clash in Zaria early this year as well as
cattle rustling in North-Western Nigeria, Farmers-Headmen clash and armed banditry. All there cumulatively
poses a threat to the National Security.
There seem to be continuation of violence even after the insurgency because of proliferation of small
arms. Inter-communal crises may resurface and could be as a challenge of resettlement arising from land
disputes.
Challenges of resettlement and rehabilitation of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs)
Most of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) suffered psychological depression because of several
attacks on them and their belongings including their houses. Many IDPs lost their landed properties that were
destroyed- houses, shops and farmlands. Many of them came along with their families. Those living in camps
found more adequate shelter than those living in informal settlements or host communities. Therefore, the desire
and clamour for IDPsto re establish their lives back home once the insurgency ends can be an issue to be
addressed by the government so also, the extent law in Nigeria that protests the right of IDPs. Moreover the
NGO putting humanitarian services may likely withdraw at the end of the insurgency.
Fate of the Volunteer Youth Vigilante (VYVG/CJTF)
There is no doubt that the youth vigilantes have played a major role in chasing out the Boko Haram
Terrorist out of Maiduguri city and to a large extent contributed to the sufficient decimating of the insurgents.
However, the future of these army of youth is uncertain. Of recent they have been found to be involved in cattle
resulting for the Boko Haram insurgents. Funds realised is supposedly to be used for sponsoring activities of the
insurgents. Therefore, government with purpose and intent must engage these youth in some meaningful venture
at the end of the insurgency.

Upsurge in Prostitution/Crimes
Women and children have suffered indianite during these violent conflicts and insurgency in Nigeria.
Many women have become widowed and have been subjected to all manner of horrendous abuses; some of these
abuses are sexual, physical, psychological and emotional (Ajibola, 2015). They have been targets of abductions,
rapes and gruesome murder. The ordeal of the Chobok girls indicate that they were subjected to physical and
psychological abuse, force labour, forced participation in military operation, including carrying ammunition or
luring men into ambush, forced abuse including rape. They were in addition made to cook, clean, perform other
household chores (Human Right Watch: 2014)
Although some of the Chibok girls have been released and other women rescued, what is the fate of
those who are yet to gain their freedom? Even those that have been rescued have suffered alot of trauma both
physical and psychological. Rehabilitating and reorientating them would be a huge task. Less we forget, some of
them have been used for suicide bombings and other operations of the Boko Haram.
In terms of health, women and children in the north east have been deprived of basic medical facilities.
Some have given birth in refugee camps. Their sexual and reproductive right have also been affected while some
have been exposed to risky sexual behaviours leading to the transmission of HIV and Sexually Transmitted
Diseases (STDS).
Challenges of Rehabilitating the Insurgents
Some of the insurgents have voluntarily surrendered to the authorities while others have been captured
life. The change their orientation which have been indoctrinated will be a challenge. Also reintegrating them
back into the society will be far more challenging because of likely vengeance by the relations of those they
maimed and killed.
Loss of Productive Manpower
The insurgency mostly involved the youth (both the insurgents and those affected by the violence)
hence the loss of productive manpower. The insurgents and the victims alike are youths who should have formed
bulk of the productive age bracket were lost to the insurgency. The youths that are ideally supposed to be at
school could not attend school due to closure of such schools for years. Hence, there will be lack of qualified
manpower to fill vacancies in government offices and agencies. Furthermore, manpower on the farms will be
grossly inadequate resulting to food shortage, food insecurity and famine and malnutrition.
Challenges of Child Upbringing
Many children have been orphaned some of whom are at the mercy of good Samaritans. Others are at
the IDP Camps without proper care, schooling or clothing. Some of these children have been taken as far as
Benin City, Edo State, south-south, Nigeria. They are kept under the tutelage of philanthropic organization such
as Churches. The proper upbringing of these children will be a problem. What happens to these children after the
insurgency ?
Way Forward
The aftermath of the insurgency have been clearly mapped out in this exposition. What remains is for
various governments and stakeholders to mitigate the consequences and avert future occurrence of the
insurgency. With good vision, proper articulation of measures and religious implementation the socio- economic
could be addressed.Aro (2013) in his paper,”Boko Haram Insurgency in Nigeria: Its Implication and Way
Forward toward Avoidance of Future Insurgency”, has suggested, how to avoid future insurgency; viz;
traditional institutions integration; economic empowerment and employment generation; reformation of security
agencies; proper religious enlightenment; and government proactive attitude towards crisis.
II. CONCLUSION
This exposition have attempted to x-ray the activities of the Boko Haram Insurgency in Nigeria, since
inception in 2009 to 2016 when the insurgents have been sufficiently decimated, particularly, with the capture of
the Sambisa Forest(a strong enclave of the insurgents) at the eve of Christmas. With this the end of the war is at
sight.
There is no doubt some socio-economic effect are likely to follow. These have been mapped out.
Women and children are at the receiving end. However, the Nigerian nation and its national security are at stake.
The earlier we mitigate these consequences the better for the country.
