| Abstract

:
|
Security is the primary functions of every government and central to the survival of democracy. Since the return to democratic rule in May 1999, Nigeria has being battling with series of internal security threat which has been detrimental to the survival of the nation. Among the internal security threats includes, Boko Haram insurgency, herders and farmers clashes, kidnapping among others. This study seeks to examine the effect of the emerged threats to Nigeria’s internal security. The major objectives of the study were to identity the factor that promotes threats to internal security of Nigeria. Secondary data was used in the study due to the nature of the research problem. The study adopts relative deprivation and structural functionalism as the theoretical framework. The findings revealed that the security challenges in Nigeria have long historical antecedence and can be attributed to bad governance. The study argues that the abysmal failure of successive administrations in Nigeria to address challenges such as poverty, unemployment among others, ultimately resulted to anger, agitation and violent crimes against the Nigerian state by some individuals and groups. In view of this study, it was recommended that, the federal government should formulate and effectively implement policies and programmes capable of addressing the root causes of the emerged threats to internal security in Nigeria such as, unemployment, poverty, dearth of infrastructural facilities, environmental degradation, , uneven development, among others.
