Niger Delta Quarterly Conflict Trends Niger Delta Quarterly Conflict Trends July to September 2016 Sustainable peace and security remains a Heatmap of Conflict Incidents in the Niger Delta key challenge in the Niger Delta region. Data shows a significantly higher number of conflict incidents and fatalities in 2016 than in 2015. However, shorter term trends do show a slight improvement from Q2 2016 to Q3 (see page 2). This quarterly tracker looks at the trends and patterns of conflict risk factors and incidents of violence, and their pressures on peace and stability in the Niger Delta. It is not designed as a conflict analysis, but rather it is intended to update stakeholders on patterns and trends in violence. Understanding the deeper conflict drivers, implications, and mitigating options requires a robust participatory, qualitative analysis of these trends by local stakeholders in affected communities, Heatmap shows concentration of incidents reported from July-September 2016 in the Niger Delta.

  • Oil and Violence: Examining the Niger Delta Crisis and Its Implication to Nigeria’S Democratic Stability
    International Journal of Advanced Academic Research | Social & Management Sciences | ISSN: 2488-9849 Vol. 4, Issue 5 (May 2018) OIL AND VIOLENCE: EXAMINING THE NIGER DELTA CRISIS AND ITS IMPLICATION TO NIGERIA’S DEMOCRATIC STABILITY Iwediba, Innocent Odinaka Department of Political Science, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Lagos, Akoka, Lagos State, Nigeria. +2348069119178 [email protected] Abstract At the start of oil exploration in the Niger Delta in 1956, the oil bearing communities had anticipated some measure of industrialization and economic empowerment. Unfortunately, this was not the case as oil exploration orchestrated systemic contradictions in the region evidenced in marginalization, social exclusion and environmental degradation. The situation was further complicated by the unholy alliance between the Nigerian state and the oil multinationals which consequently engendered militancy in the region, thus constituting a grave threat to Nigeria’s democratic stability. As a panacea to the crisis, this paper calls for reforms in the country’s land use act, restructuring of the Nigerian federation, stringent measures against the oil firms and continued dialogue between the warring parties amongst others. The qualitative research method of secondary data collection was adopted while the frustration-aggression theory was utilized as a framework of analysis. Keywords: Resource curse, crisis, oil exploration, militia groups, democracy 88 International Journal of Advanced Academic Research | Social & Management Sciences | ISSN: 2488-9849 Vol. 4, Issue 5 (May 2018) Introduction Conflict is as old as human history and an inevitable outcome of human diversity and social interactions. It is a feature of everyday life and subsists in multiple forms and dimensions across the globe (Ajodo, 2011).

    Research Journal of Humanities, Legal Studies & International Development |RJHLSID p-ISSN: 2536-6564 | e-ISSN: 2536-6572 Volume 4, Number 1 April, 2020 Contradictions in Nigeria's Amnesty Programme Implementation in Niger Delta 1John T. Kalama & 2Johnson Alalibo Sinikiem 1Department of Political Science, Federal University Otuoke, Bayelsa State, Nigeria 2Institute for Peace and Conflict Studies, University of Ibadan, Nigeria A b s t r a c t everal scholars have raised issues bothering on the implementation of Nigeria's amnesty policy in the Niger Delta region hence this paper Sexamined the contradictions inherent in the amnesty programme and its DDR scheme in the Niger Delta region. The paper contend that policy actions and measures can only yield the desired result when they are formulated and conceived holistically taken into account the basic needs and welfare of the people. The study adopted secondary data and the basic human needs theory as its theoretical framework. The study was descriptive while analysis was done qualitatively in order to explain the subject-matter. A major contradiction in the study shows that the federal government's amnesty programme in the Niger Delta region was militant centred and not development centred hence the resurgence of violence in the Niger Delta. The attitude of state governors and other political leaders from the Niger Delta region also constitutes another contradiction responsible for the unending conflict and insecurity in the region. The paper advocates for a comprehensive review of the ongoing amnesty programme and other development policy actions in the Niger Delta. Keywords: Contradictions, Nigeria's amnesty programme, Implementation, Niger Delta and Nigeria's federal government Corresponding Author: John T.

The study identified most of all the known rivers in Imo State and provided information like relief, topography and other geographical features of the major rivers which are crucial to aid water management for a sustainable water infrastructure in the communities of the watershed. The rivers and lakes are classified into five watersheds (river basins) such as Okigwe watershed, Mbaise / Mbano watershed, Orlu watershed, Oguta watershed and finally, Owerri watershed. The knowledge of the river basins in Imo State will help analyze the problems involved in water resources allocation and to provide guidance for the planning and management of water resources in the state for sustainable development.
