    (Faculty of Social Science, University of Ilorin, P.M.B.1515, Ilorin Nigeria, 2016-10) Aremu, Fatai A. (Ph.D); Osezua, Ehiyamen M. (Ph.D); Isiaq, Atanda Abdulwaheed
    Every nation of the world is conscious of her political image. It is the bargaining power of most nations among the comity of states. Nigeria's political image has been suffering from political leukemia which is a combination of corruption and internal insurgency. The political image of Nigeria facing the menace of Bokoharam had become battered by the outburst of the insurgency in 2009 till 2016. Many countries have further placed Nigerians on a closely watched mirror of terrorist-attack prone state. With this advancing development, Nigeria's future relevance in political landscape of the world might be in jeopardy. This paper analyses the political implications of Boko Haram insurgence and its trend in Nigeria. The research analytical tool of process tracing is used in this study. The Broken Window Theory is used to further justify the spread and activities of the insurgent groups. This paper concludes by submitting that insurgencies like cancerous growth and time bomb, deface the state and a viral political effort is needed to stop the future harm on the state.

    URBAN VIOLENCE IN NIGERIA: THE PARADOX AND THE DIMENSIONS
    (AFRICAN STRATEGIC SURVEY, CENTRE FOR STRATEGIC AND DEVELOPMENT STUDIES (CSDS) AMBROSE ALI UNIVERSITY EKPOMA, EDO STATE, NIGERIA, 2018-06) Aluko, Opeyemi Idowu; Isiaq, Atanda Abdulwaheed; Aremu, Fatai A. (Ph.D)
    The occurrence and intra and inter violence within and among nations is in a continuum. Nigeria has a fair share of this menace. The nature, trend and dimensions of urban violence are greeted with various levels of deep complexities per excellence. The shifting dimensions are the hydra-like nature of its occurrence. The dimension of urban violence has various implications ranging from political backwardness, economy dwarfism and social anarchism. This work proffers a buffer to the continuous effect of urban violence in Nigeria and applicable in other developing countries of Africa and the world. The tyre burning model is used alongside the broken window and relative application theories to give a vivid insight to urban violence in the human community but buffer solutions are prerequisites to the mitigation of such menaces.
