Book excerpt: he Economics of Youth Restiveness in the Niger Delta outlines the important issue of restiveness, which has led to kidnapping, hostage taking, and other crimes perpetuated in the region that have resulted in a monumental loss of revenue for Nigeria. This economics text book is certainly not boring! The Niger Delta Region of Nigeria has recently come under intense and careful scrutiny and discussion internationally. The region’s rich natural resource endowments, including oil and gas, have played a large part of the discussions about the region and its sustainable environment. The text explores the general background of Nigeria’s oil and gas resource infrastructure as well as the effects these are having on the Nigerian economy. The book discusses in detail the resources of the region, including renewable and non-renewable ones. The root causes of youth restiveness are also discussed. Judging from a practical view of events that led to restiveness in the region, the book’s analyses submits that there were some benefits deriving from restiveness: The closing of income inequality gap in the region and improvements in socio-economic statistics are of significant importance to note.

Book excerpt: In recent times, youth restiveness in Nigeria particularly the Niger Delta areas have become very disruptive generating various concerns amongst scholars, politicians, and even activists alike. The increase in the economic and technological activities of the multinational oil companies in Nigeria has brought about serious degradation of the natural environment, eroding means of livelihood without corresponding opportunity for youth employment. On the other hand, youths are used by politicians and government functionaries as political thugs in the electioneering process. By this, they are armed and less attention is paid to disarmament of youth after elections. From here, restiveness emerges. Youth restiveness has metamorphosed in armed struggle by militia groups. The level of destruction of lives and property by youth restiveness in the Niger Delta in the past 12 years is astronomical. This book, therefore, provides an opportunity to explore the dynamics and dimensions of youth restiveness in Nigeria.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book argues that in order to better understand the undercurrents of the Niger Delta conflict, it is imperative to analyse the dynamics of choice in terms of the distinct courses of action taken by the Ogoni and Ijaw. Given the similar structural constraints, the author considers why the Ogoni adopted nonviolent resistance, and the Ijaw violent resistance. This book is divided into seven chapters starting with an introduction to oil and political violence in African conflicts, and includes a synoptic overview of four other resource-rich countries in Africa. Theoretical and conceptual underpinnings of conflict are then presented with the aim of situating the Niger Delta conflicts within the wider conflict literature. Chapter Three concentrates the discussion on the Nigerian Niger Delta, outlining the core issues at the centre of the contestations. The following three chapters offer an in-depth empirical analysis on the interaction between the narratives on nonviolence versus violence, the nature of leadership styles, and the organisation of the Ogoni and Ijaw movements along with a concluding chapter.

Book excerpt: This book investigates the socio-economic determinants of the emergence and persistence of Boko Haram terrorism in Nigeria. Since 2009, Boko Haram continues to capture mainstream news headlines, as well as the imagination of aspiring young Salafi-jihadists around the world who support the notion of a radical Islamist socio-political system. By providing an essential overview of the literature on Boko Haram and bridging research and current events, the authors cover a broad spectrum of topics and suggest relevant policies for addressing the problem of Boko Haram terrorism. While Boko Haram’s motivations are ostensibly religious, the primary focus is on socio-economic inequality as one of the main factors that predispose the disillusioned, poverty-driven and jobless populace in the northern regions of Nigeria to take up arms against the state. The insights presented in this book will help researchers and policy-makers alike to understand the emergence of locally focused terrorist groups and insurgencies.
