Abstract
The West African sub region and Nigeria in particular can arguably be described as one of the conflicts hope spots in the region, especially in the recent past. Some of the major issues that have necessitated such explosive conflict level over the years include, but are not limited to violence proceeding from fierce struggles in elections, military coups and counter-coups, continuously dwindling economies challenged by acute scarcities, income inequalities, increasing poverty, and widespread unemployment, among others.
