| description | Beside the Biafran-Nigeria civil war which spanned between 1967 and 1970 and in which it was estimated that more than two million lives were utterly crushed down and well over ten million persons forced to flee their home to other part ofthe country (Ibeanu, 1988), in addition to billions of Naira worth of properties-private and public destroyed, the horror of internal conflicts has been a recurring decimal in Nigeria (Jaja, 2012).In the year 2005 it was revealed in a study that between 1980 and 2005, more than
140 cases of internal strife was recorded to have taken place in different part of the country (Abdullahi & Saka, 2007; Elaigwu, 2005). Regrettably too, the current civilian rule which began from 1999 till date have been preoccupied with incidence of internal violence to the extent this period alone took a lion share
of the estimated figure in that more than 100 of such cases had occurred within this relatively short span of time.Most devastating till date is the incidence of a sectarian group under the aegis of Boko Haram whose official name is "Jama'aru Ahlis Sunna Lidda' Await Wal-Jihad" which in Arabic language means "People Of The Way Of Prophet Mohammed (Peace Be Unto Him) And Community (Of Muslims) In Line With The Earlier Generation Of Muslims" as opposed to the literary meaning of Boko Haram which is "Western Secular Education Is Forbidden" This group though founded in 2002 launched its first military operations in 2009 to support their call for an Islamic state in the North Eastern Nigeria.Boko Haram has unleashed massive terror on Nigerian citizens as well hampering its economic wellbeing to a deafening degree (Shaibu, Saleh & Shehu, 2015). |
