dc.description	The magnitude of the disaster of September 11, 2001 brought to bear a general recognition that terrorism is a global problem that required urgent attention. The response was a war on terror against groups defined as a murderous oppressive, violent and hateful whose. Islamic radicalism is fingered as responsible and seen as a threat to peace, security and prosperity of the global community. However, it has become a common refrain that failed states are the fertile grounds for terrorism which threatens national security and invariably the global security as well. Nigeria, is one such state where elements of failure has given rise to groups like Boko Haram Group that use terror and violent agitation for making demand on the state. This study examines how this characterization has impacted on in making the country breeding ground of terrorism.
