Opis

This book explored the emerging dimensions and complications of the Fulani/Herdsmen-Farmers conflict in Nigeria. It fills the gap and connects the academic/scholarly works and public policy practitioners in relation to the conflict. Political and ethno-religious entrepreneurs, criminals, etc., have become embroiled and all fish in the troubled waters.The traditional method of managing the conflict has been taken over by escalation of carnage, attempts at genocide, springing of ethno-religious militias; A central theatre, the Middle-Belt, has emerged; It has created an emerging constitutional crisis over citizens fundamental rights and consistent/contradictory powers of States in laws making. Antagonistic histories, ethnicity and religion now dominate as the age long communities/ethno-religious conflicts, rivalries and cold wars have resurfaced in the conflict; amateur historiographers, ethno-religious and cultural nationalist have complicated the conflict through their writings; the Northern Nigerian Community is further torn apart in the interest of the Southern Nigeria, which has been desperately interested in breaking the geo-political and population hegemony of Northern Nigeria
