INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Boko Haram was ostensibly established by Muslim cleric Mohammed Yusuf in Maiduguri in North – Eastern Nigeria in 2002. The name ‘Boko Haram is derived from the Hausa word for forbidden – ‘Haram’. Literally therefore, Boko Haram means the book is forbidden. In this context however, it means that Western education is sinful and therefore prohibited. With the background, the repeated attacked on schools and scholars by Nigeria’s Islamists are hardly surprising.

The alarming level of terrorist attacks in different parts of the country, leaving impalpable consequences for the nation’s economy and its growth. To address the threat the national security and combat the increasing waves of crime the Federal Government of Nigeria in recent years presented budget and a huge allocation to security and the national assembly passed the Anti Terrorism Act in 2011. Despite these efforts the level of terrorism and insecurity in the Country is still high, and a confirmation of this is the low ranging of Nigeria in the Global Peace Index (GPI, 2012). Despite the plethora of security measures taken to address the daunting challenges of terrorism and insecurity in Nigeria, government efforts have not produced the desired positive result. This has compelled the Nigeria government in recent time to request for foreign assistance from countries such as USA, Israel and Eu countries to combat the rising waves of terrorism and insecurity. Amidst the deteriorating security situation in the country, Nigeria is also confronted with daunting developmental challenges which pose serious threat to socio-economic development. Addressing issues of terrorism is crucial in order to execute successful development project.

1.2 Statement of the Problem

The emergence of Boko Haram insurgency has introduced a terrorist dimension, hitherto unknown, into the criminal space in Nigeria. Series of bombings have been carried out by the sect, as well as taking hostage of innocent citizens. Even the limited Nations Building in Abuja was not spare in the bombing spree. It is inevitable that the economic impact of terrorism would be more felt in unsophisticated mono-cultural low income economic, diversified industrial economic. Therefore, the continued rise in terrorism activities in the country. If not checked, may result in greater investor apathy for the country and resulting in low inflow of Foreign Direct Investment (FBI), and would make institutional investors work for other stable economics to invest their money. Hence, terrorism as a threat to the economy, political and social security of a nation and a major factor associated with underdevelopment. However, the researcher is analyzing terrorism and its effect to the socio-economic development of Nigeria. Therefore, this research work seeks to find the following:

Does the Boko Haram insurgence have any socio-economic implication in Nigeria development?
Is poverty inducing the Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria?
Is dialogue the desideration to the Boko Haram menace in Nigeria?

1.6 Literature Review

Literature review has to do with what other scholars and authors law contributed to this study so far. According to Claver (2002: 302), he stated that terrorism is the use of force to impact fear with a view to bring about political, economic or social change. Recently, terrorism has been endemic in all parts of the countries in the world. (Claver 200;303) also maintain that terrorism can lead to socio-economic undevelopment of a country, though he was not elaborate, but it is worthy to appreciate his view that the practice of terrorism group makes the society difficult to return to normal development. This can deduced from the activities of Boko Haram insurgence in Nigeria which has been destabilizing socio – economic activities in the Northern part of the country. Terrorism are viewed from many other authors (scholars) in different perspective.

1.9 Limitation of Study

Financial Constraint: Insufficient fund tends to impede the efficiency of the research in sourcing for the relevant materials literature or information and in the process of data collection. (Internet, questionnaire and interview).
Time constraint: The researcher will simultaneously engage in this study with other academic work. This consequently will cut down on the time devoted for the research work.

2.0 Theoretical Framework

The group theory will stand as the theoretical framework of this study; there are many theoretical framework for the study; analysis and explanation of different political phenomena. These frameworks however vary depending on subject under study, for the analysis of such phenomena like terrorism (Boko Haram), the group theory is more appropriate and relevant. Group theorists like Author Bentley conceptualize social activities in terms of group, according to him, group are indispensable, some admit that though individual have role to play, their role are more important in group context.

Drawing from out subject matter, these groups are being motivated by the activities of the other groups for instance; the Niger Delta militant group motivates and ginger up Boko Haram sect. terrorism in Nigeria is therefore seen as the result of interplay of demand and objective of various group e.g. Boko Haram sect, Niger Delta militant group etc.

In this research proposal, the group approach will be applied in the conflicts and stability is of groups, the organization of the Boko Haram sect is based on interplay of groups struggle.

2.1 Method of Data Collection
