Abstract

While the Niger Delta remains one of the most studied regions of Nigeria, its contributions to the history of ethno-nationalism and identity conflicts have not been adequately documented. This paper explores the roots, manifestations and consequences of ethno-nationalism and identity conflicts in Nigeria, with emphasis on the Niger Delta region since pre-colonial times.
