Abstract
The contemporary Nigerian social landscape is more than ever before sprinkled with incidences of civil aggression and a series of violent attacks carried out by both known and unknown gunmen. Of course, it is no longer orchestrated by the dreaded Boko-Haram sect alone as they are presently augmented by the emboldened and more pervasive killer herdsmen. This academic enquiry attempts to scrutinize the impact of these heinous attacks on the civil and social fabric of Nigeria, with empirical data generated from secondary sources. The study employed a qualitative method of data collection and analysis with time series research design and the theory of the failed state as its analytical framework. It however, revealed that there is a positive relationship between the high death rate in contemporary Nigeria and the activities of these known and unknown gunmen, as well as its negative impact on Nigeria's economic trajectory. Among other recommendations offered by this study, it insists that government should activate and embrace value reorientation built upon compulsory regard for human dignity, respect for human life, liberty and security of the people and property.
