dc.description.abstractThe focus of this study is on the impact of the Nigerian Civil War on Idah Area. The methodology adopted for the study was a historical method which encompasses the use of primary and secondary sources which have been collected, interpreted, evaluated and analysed for harmony and accuracy, corroboration and consistency. The research also employed interdisciplinary model or approach with a view to arriving at historical reality by interrogating interface of phenomenon, issues of societal significant of these disciplines. The rationale behind employing this method is to achieve the objective of the study. Equally important, the research is anchored on the premise of conflict theory which revolves around conflict of interest and crisis ridden situation which may be product of egocentricity, ethnic chauvinism, a desire to seize state power and also a desire to maintain the territorial status quo. In other words, a group perceiving themselves as neglected or excluded from the terrain of political power, the sharing of benefits of the resources and wealth of the country. The work in no small measure has contributed to the historiography of Nigerian Civil War. For instance, the impact of that war on the border communities using Idah Area: as a case study has been a neglected theme in the Nigerian historiography. One of the findings indicated that the study took dissimilar stance from the general literature of the Nigerian Civil War, for example, whenever the Nigerian Civil War in mentioned, what really comes to mind is that the agonies and victims were the Igbo speaking people. This study dispels this claim because the study area also suffered same fate with their Igbo speaking neigbours.en_US
