On this note, this study explores the challenges faced by IDPs in Nigeria as well as the globalisation of the Boko Haram (recognized as a terrorist organization in the Russian Federation) insurgency. The study also looks at the difficulties IDPs in Nigeria face as a result of the Boko Haram (recognized as a terrorist organization in the Russian Federation) insurgency, such as violence between Hausa and Fulani, natural and man-made disasters. Due to their affiliation with foreign terrorists, Boko Haram’s (recognized as a terrorist organization in the Russian Federation) effects are more devastating. The study adopted the human needs theory and used qualitative research methods to gather information from secondary sources including books, journal articles, news magazines, and internet sources. According to the human needs theory, it is up to the government to decide how to handle social issues. Findings indicate that the difficulties faced by internally displaced people in Nigeria, which include housing shortages, starvation, hunger, lack of access to water and electricity, and lack of sustainable occupation, portend serious threats to the nation’s human security. The study also suggests that to address the issue of start-up funds, which threatens IDPs’ economic opportunities in new environments, the government should quicken the advancement of low-interest loans for skilled IDPs. The government should also work with people and organisations to provide vocational skills. The study concludes that, doing so will help to alleviate the situation of Nigeria’s internally displaced people.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Последствия восстания, внутренних конфликтов и стихийных бедствий заставляют внутренне перемещенных лиц (ВПЛ) вести жизнь, которую они никогда не предвидели или не желали. В этом контексте данное исследование изучает проблемы, с которыми сталкиваются ВПЛ в Нигерии, а также интернационализацию восстания Боко Харам (в РФ признано террористической организацией). Исследование также рассматривает трудности, с которыми сталкиваются ВПЛ в Нигерии в результате восстания Боко Харам (в РФ признано террористической организацией), такие как насилие между народами хауса и фулани, природные и техногенные бедствия. Из-за своей связи с иностранными террористами, последствия активности Боко Харама (в РФ признано терористической организацией) оказываются более разрушительными. В данном исследовании использовалась теория человеческих потребностей, а также качественные методы исследования для сбора информации из вторичных источников, включая книги, научные статьи, журналы и интернет-источники. В соответствии с теорией человеческих потребностей решения по обращению с социальными проблемами принимаются правительством. Результаты проведенного исследования показывают, что трудности, с которыми сталкиваются внутренне перемещенные лица в Нигерии, включают нехватку жилья, голод, недостаток доступа к воде и электричеству, а также отсутствие устойчивого занятия, что представляет серьезную угрозу для безопасности человека в стране. Автор также предполагает, что для решения проблемы нехватки средств для начала предпринимательской деятельности, которая угрожает экономическим возможностям ВПЛ в новых условиях, правительство должно ускорить развитие низкопроцентных займов для квалифицированных ВПЛ. Правительство Нигерии также должно сотрудничать с людьми и организациями для обучения и развития профессиональных навыков. Автор приходит к выводу, что данный комплекс мер поможет облегчить ситуацию внутренне перемещенных лиц в Нигерии.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Boko Haram*</kwd><kwd>insurgency</kwd><kwd>Internally Displaced Persons</kwd><kwd>internal displacement</kwd><kwd>human needs theory</kwd><kwd>Nigeria</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Боко Харам*</kwd><kwd>повстанчество</kwd><kwd>внутренне перемещенные лица</kwd><kwd>внутреннее перемещение</kwd><kwd>теория человеческих потребностей</kwd><kwd>Нигерия</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Fenella H.
