MEDIA PRACTICE AMID INSECURITY IN NIGERIA: A FOCUS ON #ENDSARS PROTEST, BOKO HARAM INSURGENCY, NIGER DELTA MILITANCY AND HERDSMEN-FARMERS CLASHES

Abstract

In Nigeria today, many people are fearful of being attacked or killed by terrorists in the form of Boko Haram insurgents, Niger Delta militants, herdsmen, etc. Their fears seem to be based on the premise that the current administration have failed in the aspect of security by failing to protect the lives and properties of Nigerians. Poverty and lack of proper socialization seem to pose a great danger as the major reasons why Boko Haram keeps penetrating violent acts at different parts of Nigeria.
