Abstract

This work examines the circumstance within the Niger Delta, tracing the origins of the crises which currently engulfs the region. Its causes and acknowledging the injustice meted out to the region. It also shows how the activities of groups and individuals have further exacerbated the conditions of its inhabitants as some of the activities being engaged in make it almost impossible to come out of the quagmire or particular note is the effect of oil bunkering, vandalization and kidnapping on the region which has led to a seeming state of anomie. As to the way forward the issue of education, enabling laws such as the Freedom of information, bill and a straightening of the electoral system are advocated as measure to bring us out of the “conflict”-woods” we have found ourselves, preparing us for a time when we do not have to depend solely on oil.
