Abstract: The insecurity in Nigeria is getting out of hand as this has been on increase on daily basis. People are being slaughtered on daily basis and properties are being wasted as well. The state of Nigeria insecurity is attributable to bad governance, leadership, poverty, poor service delivery and poor justice system. There is increased number of internally displaced persons, high inflow of arms, drugs and human trafficking, modern day slavery, stealing, robbery and other forms of criminality in Nigeria. We collected data on gross domestic products and causes of insecurity in Nigeria from 2012 to 2021 and analyzed them using linear regression model. Our finding revealed that the chief causes of insecurity in Nigeria are the unemployment among the youths and poverty. The study recommends that every government administration should embrace equal distribution of Nigeria resources and wealth.
