Forced migration and internal displacement in and into Nigeria in the last 50 years of independence has been triggered by violent conflict. Other causes of displacement include natural disasters and environmental degradation, intercommunal/ inter-ethnic clashes, disputes over land, boundary conflicts between indigenous people and settlers2, communal and ethnoreligious clashes, as well as electoral violence. The highest recorded number in the last decade, however, was due to the insurgency in the northeast part of the country, where a spate of violent attacks since 2009 has left well over two million3 people displaced within and across the borders to neighbouring countries, especially over the past three years.
