This book examines proclivity to genocide in the protracted
killings that have continued for decades in the northern Nigeria
ethno-religious conflict, spanning from the 1966 northern Nigeria
massacres of thousands of Ibos up to the present, ongoing killings
between extremist Muslims and Christians or non-Muslims in the
region. It explores the ethnic and religious dimensions of the
conflict over five phases to investigate genocidal proclivity to
the killings and the extent to which religion foments and escalates
the conflict. This book adopts a conceptual analytic approach of
establishing similarity of genocidal patterns to the northern
Nigeria ethno-religious conflict by examining genocidal occurrences
and massacres in history, particularly the twentieth-century
contemporary genocides, for an understanding of genocide. With this
reference frame, the study structures a Genocide Proclivity Model
for identifying inclinations to genocide and derives a substantive
theory using the Strauss and Corbin (1990) approach. By identifying
genocidal intent as underlying the various manifestations and
causes of genocide in specific genocide cases, the book establishes
that genocidal proclivity or the intent to exterminate the "other"
on the basis of religion and/or ethnicity underlies most of the
northern Nigerian episodic, but protracted, killings. The book's
analytic framework and approach are grounded in identifiable and
provable evidences of specific intent to annihilate the "other,"
mostly involving extremist Muslims intent to 'cleanse' northern
Nigeria of Christians and other non-Muslims through the
'exclusionary ideology' of imposition of the Sharia Law, and to
'force assimilation' or 'extermination' through massacres and
genocidal killings of those who refuse to assimilate or adopt the
Muslim ideology. The study establishes that the genocidal
inclinations to the conflict have remained latent because of the
intermittent but protracted nature of the killings and lends
credence to the conception of genocidal intent and its covertness
in situations of genocidal intermittency. The book unearths the
latency of episodic genocide in the northern Nigeria
ethno-religious conflict, prescribes recommendations, and launches
a clarion call for international intervention to stop the genocide.
