Abstract

The aim of this paper is to draw a logical inverse proportionality in the relationship between Boko-Haram insurgency and economic development in Nigeria. Hence this paper claims that the more the tales of Boko-Haram insurgency is on the increase, our economic status must logically remain tepid. This paper applies the philosophical methods of hermeneutics and Turabian documentation in the attempt to make a sharp interpretation of facts regarding the inverse relationship between Boko-Haram insurgency and the economic status of Nigeria. The paper studies Boko-Haram insurgency in Nigeria and by critical analysis, states the degree of harm caused to the economic status of Nigeria. Our findings reveal that Boko-Haram insurgency has claimed so many lives and destroyed properties worth billions of naira in Nigeria leading to economic downturn, mutual mistrust, psychological trauma, internal displacement, widened enthnocentricism, dehumanization, criminality such as rape, abduction, robbery, e.t.c. The studies reveal the laisser-faire attitude of the government in matters of Boko-Haram insurgency because some political stakeholders use these insurgents as political tools to widen their political powers and influence hence making Boko-Haram uncontrollable. The implication of this paper is a distress call on all and sundry especially the government to sit up for necessary actions minding the impact of Boko-Haram in Nigerian economy. The actions include; stopping the rampage of Boko-Haram, punishing the culprits legally minding justice and equity, better equipment of the internally displaced persons’ camps, adequate feeding, empowerment schemes, medical and psychological assistance (trauma centers), e.t.c. Similarly, Non-Governmental Organizations and Religious Bodies are called upon to join the crusade in order to redeem the devastation of Boko-Haram in Nigeria. The logic is that when these conditions are well employed and Boko-Haram insurgency is eschewed, Nigeria would have become so fertile enough to boost economic development.
