Thank you Shailesh,

Today I am addressing question no 5)


Nigeria government is currently fighting a vicious insurgency mounted by boko
haram in the country remote to and sparsely populated north east, should this be of
concern to potential foreign investors, most of who invest in the country populated
southern region?
Solution:
Well, Boko Haram's effects have impacted not only the northeast, but Nigeria as a
whole and several of her neighbors as well.
comparing the North to the more developed South, perhaps the reasons are chronic
poverty and a low degree of development.
Firstly, I would say about socio political consequences:
The government has a responsibility of protecting the lives and properties of its
citizens. And any government who fails to safeguard the lives and properties of its
citizens is invariably deteriorating into a failed government The multiple attacks by
Boko Haram insurgents are a direct threat to Nigeria's integrity.
Boko Haram's uprising in Nigeria has left a negative impression & relationships
with other nations around the world as a result of bombings, kidnappings, and
hostage takings with or without a demand for ransom, particularly foreigners,
which has resulted in the deaths of some of them and has caused much chaos in the
international community.
Security Consequence:
Especially in some areas of Northern Nigeria where Boko Haram has taken control
through bombing and the launch of violent assaults on innocent people, where
experience has shown that the assault is not solely the work of Boko Haram, but
that some protestors have been using Boko Haram's presence to further their own
personal and ethnical agendas by attacking other people.
Economic consequences:
Thousands of people have been killed, and economic growth has been halted as a
result of Boko Haram's deadly campaign. The city's major market was significantly
impacted, with a large section of the market's stores abandoned as owners left town
in search of safety. Boko Haram's insurgency in Nigeria has severely harmed the
government's effectiveness in the affected areas. Any society with such a
significant level of crime would always scare investors from conducting business
there.
Last but not the least The National Unity challenges:
Before Boko Haram, one of Nigeria's most immediate concerns was forming a
truly unified country. Nigeria is a multi-ethnic nation with over 300 ethnic groups,
several religious bodies, and a rich cultural past. The state's political and economic
actions are face challenges in light of ethno-religious sentiments. Boko Haram's
rise to fame in 2009 has damaged the country's unity even further.
because of Boko Haram's actions, which have prompted neighbouring areas to 
continue their calls for independence
