Resumo: | Nigeria is becoming a finished and spent state. The fabrics that made up the country had been undermined by the series of corrupt practices by both state and non state officials. These therefore resulted into cascade of evil and series of domino effect against the stability of the country. A major semiotic of a finished and spent state is an unabated protracted systemic crisis that results into other crises. A prominent crisis of such in Nigeria is the Boko Haram terrorism which has lasted more than a decade. This breeds other variants of internal insurrections and external aggressions such as the Fulani terrorism kidnapping for ransom and other banditry activities. Thousands of lives were wasted, millions were displaced from their communities and economic valuables worth millions of dollars were destroyed. No doubt, these are tensions in the country that grew from various models of radicalization and threatening the existence of the political entity. How can Nigeria survive these tragedies and remain a single sovereign state? Realist theoretical perspectives are interrogated to proffer solution to these predicaments. Conclusions are premised on the ensuring of good governance and equitable distribution of sovereign wealth of the country to ensure lasting peace and sustained development. |

Tension In The Paradise: Fulani And Boko Haram Terrorism In NigeriaArticlesNigeria is becoming a finished and spent state. The fabrics that made up the country had been undermined by the series of corrupt practices by both state and non state officials. These therefore resulted into cascade of evil and series of domino effect against the stability of the country. A major semiotic of a finished and spent state is an unabated protracted systemic crisis that results into other crises. A prominent crisis of such in Nigeria is the Boko Haram terrorism which has lasted more than a decade. This breeds other variants of internal insurrections and external aggressions such as the Fulani terrorism kidnapping for ransom and other banditry activities. Thousands of lives were wasted, millions were displaced from their communities and economic valuables worth millions of dollars were destroyed. No doubt, these are tensions in the country that grew from various models of radicalization and threatening the existence of the political entity. How can Nigeria survive these tragedies and remain a single sovereign state? Realist theoretical perspectives are interrogated to proffer solution to these predicaments. Conclusions are premised on the ensuring of good governance and equitable distribution of sovereign wealth of the country to ensure lasting peace and sustained development. A Nigéria está se tornando um estado acabado e gasto. Os tecidos que compunham o país foram minados pela série de práticas corruptas de funcionários estatais e não estatais. Estes, portanto, resultaram em cascata do mal e série de efeito dominó contra a estabilidade do país. Uma semiótica importante de um estado acabado e esgotado é uma crise sistêmica prolongada e ininterrupta que resulta em outras crises. Uma crise proeminente desse tipo na Nigéria é o terrorismo do Boko Haram, que já dura mais de uma década. Isso gera outras variantes de insurreições internas e agressões externas, como o sequestro terrorista Fulani por resgate e outras atividades de banditismo. Milhares de vidas foram desperdiçadas, milhões foram deslocados de suas comunidades e valores econômicos no valor de milhões de dólares foram destruídos. Sem dúvida, são tensões no país que cresceram a partir de vários modelos de radicalização e ameaçam a existência da entidade política. Como a Nigéria pode sobreviver a essas tragédias e permanecer um único estado soberano? Perspectivas teóricas realistas são interrogadas para oferecer soluções para esses dilemas. As conclusões têm como premissa a garantia de uma boa governação e distribuição equitativa da riqueza soberana do país para assegurar uma paz duradoura e um desenvolvimento sustentado.Research Center in Political Science (University of Minho and University of Évora, Portugal)2022-05-09info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.21814/perspectivas.3914eng2184-39021646-2157Aluko, Opeyemiinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2022-11-18T16:30:16Zoai:journals.uminho.pt:article/3914Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T16:14:35.321814Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |

Nigeria is becoming a finished and spent state. The fabrics that made up the country had been undermined by the series of corrupt practices by both state and non state officials.

A prominent crisis of such in Nigeria is the Boko Haram terrorism which has lasted more than a decade. This breeds other variants of internal insurrections and external aggressions such as the Fulani terrorism kidnapping for ransom and other banditry activities. Thousands of lives were wasted, millions were displaced from their communities and economic valuables worth millions of dollars were destroyed.
