Introduction

Taft, Patricia; Haken, Nate

Pages: 1 –7

[Nigeria’s Fourth Republic, which began in 1999 with the election of Olusegun Obasanjo followed by Umaru Yar’Adua and Goodluck Jonathan, has been fraught with security challenges, including spikes in communal and sectarian violence in the Middle Belt, militancy and criminality in the Niger Delta,...

Niger Delta Overview

Taft, Patricia; Haken, Nate

Pages: 9 –50

[While the Niger Delta may be one of the most resource-rich regions in the world, it remains mired in cycles of conflict that perpetuate underdevelopment and threaten human security. As can be explored through a more in-depth analysis of the eight individual states of the Niger Delta that...

North Central Overview

Taft, Patricia; Haken, Nate

Pages: 51 –62

[While grouping states regionally can often help disaggregate the various conflict ecosystems in the country for more analytical clarity, in this case the variations are perhaps more disparate than in other regions. The two North Central states of Jigawa and Katsina were among the most peaceful...

Middle Belt Overview

Taft, Patricia; Haken, Nate

Pages: 63 –74

[The Middle Belt region, located in the central part of the country, is culturally diverse with a predominantly Christian population to the south and Muslim to the north. In addition to criminality, political tension and terrorism, conflict emblematic of this region is inter-communal and tends to...

Northeast Overview

Taft, Patricia; Haken, Nate

Pages: 75 –92

[In the international media, Boko Haram and #BringBackOurGirls are emblematic of conflict and insecurity in Nigeria. But this is reductive both to Nigeria as a whole and to conflict in the Northeast itself. As detailed in this book, across the country there are patterns of criminal,...

Northwest Overview

Taft, Patricia; Haken, Nate

Pages: 93 –103

[While insurgency raged 300 miles to the east, tallying up the highest numbers of fatalities per capita in the country during the period of 2009–2013, in the Northwest things were relatively calm during this period, with some states (Sokoto and Kebbi) having very few incidents per capita and...
Available

Southwest Overview

Taft, Patricia; Haken, Nate

Pages: 105 –120

[The southwestern region of the country is the heart of “Yorubaland” and hosts Lagos, one of the largest cities in the world. Lagos, which means “lakes” in Portuguese, was the capital of Nigeria from 1914 to 1991, when the seat of government was moved to Abuja. Politically, the southwest has...
Available

South Central Overview

Taft, Patricia; Haken, Nate

Pages: 121 –132

[The level of violence was relatively low in the South Central region of Nigeria between the years of 2009 and 2013. On average, according to Nigeria Watch (data formatted on the P4P Peace Map), there was an increase in political violence during the 2011 election year, but no state ranked higher...

Conclusion

Taft, Patricia; Haken, Nate

Pages: 133 –134

[In years past, the collection, coding, integration, and analysis of conflict data as done here, would have been exceedingly cost prohibitive to non-profits such as The Fund for Peace. However, due to advances in technology and effective collaboration among local, national, and international...
