Across many parts of Nigeria today, conflict between nomadic pastoralists and sedentary farming communities has become one of the most serious security and social challenges in the country.
This episode examines the deeper historical, economic, and geopolitical forces behind the tensions between nomadic herders and sedentary agricultural communities. Why do these clashes keep happening? Is it simply about land and grazing, or is it rooted in deeper structural issues within Nigeria’s political and security framework?
We explore how population growth, environmental pressure, weak border management, and centralized security systems have contributed to the crisis.
Understanding this conflict is key to understanding the future stability of Nigeria and the broader West African region.
