Abstract

In the recent times, internal displacement of persons have become a global menace mostly in the developing and the under-developed nations. Nigeria began to experience internal displacement of persons from the late 1960s, during the Nigerian-Biafran war that ended in 1970. Generally across the globe, internal displacement of persons is due to violence meted on citizens through terrorist acts, natural disasters, conflicts caused by internal armed conflicts, boundary disputes, religious segregations and cultism. As a result of these, the number of persons seeking refuge within and outside the shores of Nigeria, running for their dear lives and seeking asylum has geometrically increased in the recent times, coupled with the number of deaths, rape cases and abuse reported on daily basis of displaced persons. The crisis has exacerbated since 1999 when democracy was returned to Nigeria due to the nefarious activities of the terrorist groups called Boko Haram. The paper which is historically qualitative in approach used secondary sources of data. In its findings, the study found that the main causes of crisis in Nigeria are leadership maladies, poverty, inter-ethnic crisis and religious sectionalism. It therefore recommend among others that the government should provide and guarantee the safety and security of citizens through a sustainable fight against insurgencies; educate the masses so that the perpetrators of conflict will be reoriented and use every means available to give terrorism a sustainable fight. The resources also should be equally distributed to enable every citizen benefit from it.
