ABSTRACT
The Igbo have their homeland in seven states of
Nigeria mainly Imo, Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Delta and Rivers. They are
receptible to new ideas and adapt easily to change. The ramifications of human
insecurity, poverty, social disorder, poor coherence and poor integration
appear to haunt them and the gravity is felt more in the rural communities. The
factors are traceable to many pathetic issues. The pathological consequences do
affect Igbo stability and navigation in the Nigerian socio-economic environment.
The causality constitutes the physical, human, natural, financial and social
assets. It is recommended, among others, that the people should return to core
values and norms, stick to their own noble identities, have a framework for
tackling insecurity and hunger, target the youth in poverty reduction measures
and tackle the herdsmen menace. Equally, the abused philosophies used to
support dangerous and strange behavior should be tackled.
