International Migrant Movements of Nomadic Fulani and The Social Implication on Nigeria

Abstract

The research examines the international migration patterns of the Nomadic Fulani and the social conflict implications for Nigeria. To critically evaluate the study, the cause of the Nomadic Fulani movement was traced to Climate change, particularly in the North-East, thus, leading to the migration of Fulani herders, resulting in detrimental immediate and long-term impact. The project aimed to assess the social conflict implication of the Nomadic Fulani movement and migration's impact on grazing areas in Nigeria. The study used descriptive qualitative content analysis on secondary sources, including the internet, and applied conflict theories as a theoretical framework for analysis. The study found that violent herdsmen conflicts are primarily caused by emigration from the North-East.  The author suggested that governments set aside areas for effective ranching.
