Abstract

We examine whether the relationship between terrorism, insurgency and Islamism do not share or support one another in their expression of violent development. We find that when comparing their strategies and methods, they have a meeting point in political, economic and religious platform. In this paper, we present cogent reasons that represent these three terms as having causal and historical eventualities that are repetitive and suggestive of a trio-human destructive activity that largely caused the down-turn in economic development in Nigeria. Collectively, our findings show evidence of political and non-political factors related to the trio virus above that slow the pace of economic development in Nigeria, especially in the last three decades.
