“…Since ethnic conflict is inherently local, it is safe to assert that fragmented countries would likely experience higher Downloaded by [Florida International University] at 03:24 03 January 2015 levels of domestic terrorism. 57 Ethnic fragmentation is measured using the Ethnic Heterogeneity Index (EHI). 58 The EHI uses three characteristics of ethnic division to measure the total level of ethnic heterogeneity in a country: ethnic groups based on racial differences; ethnic groups based on linguistic, national or tribal differences; and ethnic groups based on stable religious communities.…”

Studies that focus on the causes of terrorism often overlook the issue of legitimacy. Ehud Sprinzak first spoke about the relationship between legitimacy and terrorism to explain why mobilized groups transition from political opposition movements to terrorism.

The data suggest that legitimacy is a robust predictor of terrorism and merits further investigation as a causal variable.

“…This is made worse with discrimination against access to public health, education employment opportunities and other social services while grievances are directed against the state through violence (Piazza, 2011).Fragmented society cannot foster enough unity to demobilize any incident that tantamount to destroy its fledging unity. Consequently, the differences occasioned by disconnect between social groups, religion, culture, income status would lead to yawning gap with respect to interrelationship which aggravates terrorism and make an accepted way of life for many (Ozdogan, 2008 andBjorgo, 2005).

The study on the nexus between Boko Haram, causes and its effect on Nigeria economy examines the causes of BokoHaram and its effect on Nigeria economy. In as much as poverty is acclaimed to be major cause of Boko Haram, its progenitors capitalized on it to fan the embers of its recruitment thereby deriding Nigeria's economy. The recruitment of the youthful population was for them to see that they have magic wand for their emancipation. However, the analysis of various economic indices is seen to lean heavily on other indicators which aid the recruitment drive of Boko Haram against the state. The disaggregation of various economic indicators has also tilted towards other factors aside poverty as the reason for terrorism. The period of boom in Nigeria economy was mismanaged which wasfuelled by the trajectory of successive misrule over the years which also failed to put in place structures for economic growth. These theories are examined as we employ qualitative and descriptive research approach to understand the nexus between the causes of Boko Haram and its effect on Nigeria economy. The study explored various theories and theoretical discussin the literature in this regard. The study discovers that causes of Boko haram are multivariate and their effect includes ideology, Islamic fundamentalism, economic, social, poverty and religious bigotry.The result of the research reveals that ideology and religious fundamentalism are sine qua non to the effect by Boko Haram destructive tendencies against Nigeria state and central to the movement's long existence.The paper therefore recommends among others reorientation of the youth, empowerment of the impoverished and synergy among the security agencies.
