This paper offers a broader look at the psychosocial effects of violent, terrorism, and war on gender in the South-East region of Nigeria. In the last two decades, the people of the South-East region called "Ndi Igbo" witnessed all kinds of violence, terrorism, and some religious and political war that has greatly influenced the psyche of all across the globe. The recent kidnapping incidences and the political violence in the area gave terrorism a new dimension and trend. The study shows a greater danger not only to the indigenous people of "Ndi Igbo", but to all Nigerians. The paper analyzed and explained the Igbo crisis within the frustration-aggression and structural functionalist theories and argued that frustration is the bane of the recurrent violence in the region. The paper employed a mixture of qualitative and quantitative survey research based on secondary data and key informant interviews (KIIs) as tools. The paper also argued that most of the issues that generated the frustration anger and the murderous actions is injustice and marginalization, and on the premise that the government has ignored the environmental security that led to the problems under discourse.
