Abstract:Wide scale violence and insurgencies are particularly disturbing because they directly impact negatively on the process of economic growth and affects adversely the levels of economic activities and productivity of a country. The study examines the effects of the recent wave of insurgencies created by the Boko Harem sect in Nigeria. The paper, thus, explores the Boko Haram menace and their implications on the nation's stability. Findings are concieved as impacts of the Boko Harem insurgence on the economic lives of Nigerian people. The paper recommends among others the need for government to improve on the state of security with all machineries at her disposal that will help identify, unravel, forestall and prosecute Boko Harem insurgents.
Keywords: Boko Harem, Boko Harem insurgencies, Boko Harem sect, Economic activities, Economy growth.

| Title | : | Opportunity cost of Nigeria's external reserves |

Abstract: The external reserve-economy relationship argument has generated debate due to unsatisfactory theoretical and empirical consensus. There is an ongoing debate on whether having large holding of international reserves is beneficial or not. The critics' main argument is that those resources could and should be used in a more productive manner to develop the domestic economy. In Nigeria, in spite of successfully guiding the economy to a stable inflation rate of 15.1 in 2008 in the face of an unprecedented growth of external reserves the overall domestic picture has remained stark.
