CONFLICT AND THE INCIDENCE OF DISPLACEMENT: NIGERIA IN PERSPECTIVE

Nigeria as a nation is anchored on several ethnic groups, varying socio- economic structure and multiplicity of religion which today found itself in a series of conflicts. These persistent conflicts in the nation paved ways for scientific research and analysis. These conflicts have continued to threatened the corporate existence of this nation called Nigeria and subsequently called for a national discussions as to whether the country should be an indivisible nation. The methodology of this paper work is to give a systematic knowledge into the causes of conflicts and the incidence of displacement in Nigeria and proffer very crucial recommendations on how to avert conflict and achieve lasting peace, as peace remains the only instrument of togetherness.
