INTRODUCTION

1.1   Background of the study

The Boko Haram insurgency first appeared in Maiduguri in Borno State, northeast Nigeria around 2002. The group’s objective was to establish an Islamic state and institutionalize Sharia law in Nigeria, particularly the northeast region. Boko Haram activities in the northeast of Nigeria have created a serious security threat to Nigeria and its neighbors in the Lake Chad region. The group engaged in guerrilla warfare using indiscriminate attacks on civilians, and military forces. Despite efforts by the Nigerian government to combat the group, Boko Haram’s activities continue to spread across the region. The situation has not only rendered the state helpless but has succeeded in creating a psychological effect on the victims. The lives and properties of individuals has been destroyed following the crisis in Borno state. The effects has been economic, political, social and more frustrating is the psychological effects of this insurgency.

Several conflicting relations in the past in which many people were killed and many still rendered refugees and internally displaced persons in Nigeria were informed by the social complexities of the people in the country, defined by ethnic and cultural identities principally such as ethnicity and religion (Lenshie, 2014). The worsening of social security conditions of the people was adduced for such crisis at that time (Ibeanu, 2015). Contemporary worsening social security conditions reflect the future, which Ibeanu (2015:50) pointed to the responsible factor in the radicalization of the people along ethnic and religious fault lines as the reason for population displacement in Nigeria.

Forced displacement has been on the increase worldwide. In Nigeria, particularly since the implementation of the Sharia law in most parts of the Northern Nigeria, considerable violence, rendering many killed and homeless, degenerated into the coming into being the Boko Haram Islamists. Boko Haram Islamists has produced different effects on different people and the social, political and economic affairs of the country. The insurgency carried by the sect in the Northeast account for over 90 percent of the IDPs, with less than 10 percent caused by natural disasters in Nigeria. This situation stemmed from the insurgency carried by the Boko Haram sect that led to the rising number of deaths of innocent citizens, security officials and insurgents in the States of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe (Ibeanu, 2015) and rendering others refugees in foreign countries of Cameroun, Chad, and Niger republics.

The social conditions of the IDPs in the various parts of the country, particularly in the Northeast Nigeria have been alarming, running from insecurity to insecurity, which presents a situation of double jeopardy. The security challenges faced by the IDPs in the various camps and out of camps include, among others psychological trauma of loss families, friends and properties, and the challenge associated with the responsibility to protect themselves in their various camps, and, above all, the challenge of humanitarian response in line with the Kampala Convention in the region. It is in this context, this essay interrogates the humanitarian response to IDPs and the social, political and economic dynamics there from in Nigeria.

1.2   Statement of the Problem

The emergence of the Boko Haram Insurgency in northeast Nigeria especially in Borno state created a security vacuum within the region. The threat of the group to Nigeria, its neighbors and the international community cannot be ignored. The group has engaged in guerrilla warfare against the Nigerian government and its citizens for the last decade. Living conditions in the region have been degraded, life and properties have been destroyed, and an increasing refugee crisis across the region calls for action. Despite efforts by the Nigerian government and its partners to combat the Boko Haram insurgency, the group continues to pose a threat and challenge to the government of Nigeria and its partners. The security situation in the region has deteriorated, and the territorial integrity of Nigeria is being undermined. The result of this situation in general is the psychological effect it has on its victims. Most of the victims are children, women and men. The children are the most affected because the psychological trauma they experience affects their lifestyle, their reactions to life challenges and in entirety, their attitude to learning and life.
