Journal Title: International Journal of Political Science, Law and International Relations (IJPSLIR) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
Nigeria in recent years has been facing the crises such as Boko Haram insurgency and militancy in the Niger Delta. The crises have led to the destruction of many lives and properties in the country. In an attempt to identify the causes of rise of violence particularly militancy in the Niger Delta, the study adopted a Frustration-Aggression theory to serve as a framework for analysis. In the case of data collection, data were collected from published and unpublished articles, Newspapers etc. which were analysed using content analysis. The study found that the genesis of the militancy in the Niger Delta was as a result of the environmental degradation, poverty and unemployment. The study recommends that all governments should collaborate with the oil exploration companies to provide sustainable and adequate job opportunities to people, especially youth and ensure a strict regulation for the environmental protection.
