Not minding the insurgencies currently ongoing in the northern part of the country, Nigeria is arguably, one of the most peaceful African nation at present. With political crisis which led to the removal of President Mohammed Morsi in Egypt, coupled with its aftermath effect where many have been killed, and considering the fact that many other African countries presently battle with one crises or the other, it is obvious that each African country have its peculiarity as far as unrest is concern.

These crises ensuing across Africa have become major factors militating the progress and development of this great continent, as hunger and homelessness persist across the continent.

Despite the fact that current major up rise in Nigeria is limited to a region, it is noteworthy to mention that the whole nation is feeling its effect. Just like an injury to a particular part of human body affects the whole, the ongoing crises is being felt by every Nigerian, including those in diasporas.

Record puts it that more than 400,000 people are displaced in Nigeria alone, with most of these numbers coming from the northern part. This is a figure which needs urgent attention because if this situation should persist, more Nigerians would be displaced as a result of unrest, or natural disaster.

It is high time the country find lasting solution to causes which contribute to displacement of Nigerians, particularly the insurgent in the north.

Although the Federal Government seems to be on top of the situation with the current declaration of emergency rule in three northern states, more can still be done in bringing lasting solution to the problem, thus promoting peace and reducing the level of displaced people in Nigeria.

This singular act would further position Nigeria as the real giant of Africa, therefore creating enabling environment for development in every ramification much desired by the people of Africa at large.
