“…The situation in Nigeria, in particular, where Moshood comes from and where he was engaged in research and activism, is the result of the profound damage inflicted by British colonization and the political elite's continuous exploitation and mismanagement of available resources, made increasingly scarce due to climate change (Fagbule & Fawehinmi, 2021). The consequences include a long‐lasting food security crisis, ongoing higher inflation rates affecting the growth of local investment, and a breeding ground for the advancement of the terrorist group known as “Boko Haram” (Eka, 2017). Despite these problems, humanitarian access to Northeast Nigeria, a particularly affected region, has been limited to government‐controlled “garrison towns,” leaving large swathes of the area and its population unable to access assistance (Pozo Marín & Ben Ali, 2021).…”

This article explores the magnifying lenses of the COVID‐19 syndemic to highlight how people racialized as migrants and refugees have been—and continue to be—disproportionally harmed. We use empirical evidence collected in our scholarly/activist work in Europe, Africa, South Asia, and the United States to examine migrant injustice as being produced by a combination of power structures and relations working to maintain colonial global orders and inequalities. This is what has been defined as “border imperialism.” Our data, complemented by evidence from transnational solidarity groups, show that border imperialism has further intersected with the hygienic‐sanitary logics of social control at play during the COVID‐19 period. This intersection has resulted in increasingly coercive methods of restraining people on the move, as well as in increased—and new—forms of degradation of their lives, that is, an overall multiplication of border violences. At the same time, however, COVID‐19 has provided a unique opportunity for grassroot solidarity initiatives and resistance led by people on the move to be amplified and extended. We conclude by emphasizing the need for community psychologists to take a more vigorous stance against oppressive border imperialist regimes and the related forms of violence they re/enact.

“…Considering that the northern region of Nigeria was already well-known for having a high percentage of poverty, the rise of the BH uprising has made matters worse. Human insecurity is a result of the BH uprising's ongoing effects on poverty, which include things like inadequate nutrition, a lack of access to highquality healthcare and education, a rise in youth delinquency, etc [6,20].…”

“…In contrast to other regions of the nation, children in the northern states particularly Adamawa, Bornu and Yobe states suffer from severe or acute malnutrition, with no indication that the government would provide any support [21]. To make matters worse, a large number of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and international organizations (IOs) that were formerly located in the north have fled out of fear for their lives [20]. This is because the cult may target its organizations in addition to kidnapping employees for ransom to raise more money for its cause.…”

Socio-Economic Implications of Boko Haram Operations in Nigeria

This study investigates how the Boko Haram (BH) uprising as a terror group has affected the different socio-economic and security activities of Nigeria as suggested by the Copenhagen School of Security Studies. The Regional Security Complex Theory (RSCT) and the literature review methodology were the foundation of this investigation. Even though sub-regional and regional actors have devised various counter-measures to combat the danger and menace created by the BH group, the existence, manners and deeds of this group have had various dynamics of considerable socioeconomic impacts, and have also given birth to calamitous and horrible regional and sub-regional insinuations. Pertinent stakeholders should engaged in sociological, psychological, military, political, economic, environmental, regional and sub-regional efforts to combat the existence of the BH group. Based on the findings, more recommendations were suggested.

“…Therein might lie part of the explanation of why this topic has received so little attention in Nigeria, despite the fact that the country ranks third in Africa for the number of wealthy citizens, hosting over 9,800 people with a net worth over US$1 million (Henley & Partners 2023). If direct taxation has generally been neglected in Nigeria since the discovery of oil, this is especially the case at the level of states.…”

Taxing High Net Worth Individuals in Nigeria: Preliminary Insights and the Case of Borno State

This paper gives preliminary insights into the challenges surrounding the taxation of high net worth individuals (HNWIs) in Nigeria – first in general terms, and then with a specific focus on Borno State. The need to diversify revenue sources has become increasingly apparent against the backdrop of Nigeria's historical reliance on the export of crude oil, and is the reason why President Tinubu created a committee to harmonise the fiscal system. However, the committee has not yet touched upon the taxation of HNWIs. Drawing from key informant interviews from north-eastern Nigeria, and a two-day workshop with officials from State Boards of Internal Revenue Service from various part of the country, we shed light on the complexities of increasing the compliance of HNWIs. The study highlights a series of legal, administrative, and political obstacles faced by State Boards of Internal Revenue Service, which have developed dedicated compliance strategies. Many of these are similar across states that otherwise share few characteristics. The paper ends with some tentative suggestions for future research.
