The subject of this article is the contemporary interconnection of instability in Nigeria. The contiguous nature and interconnected factors of social, political, ethnic, and marginalization campaign, in a new dimension, has bedevil Nigeria in the proportions never experienced before in the checkered history of this potentially great nation. The author thoroughly researches the activities of Boko Haram, the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB)/Independent People of Biafra (IPOB), Niger Delta Avengers (NDA), and the Fulani herdsmen. The research reveals the indicators of Nigeria becoming a "breeding grounds of instability, mass migration, and murder", as well as reservoirs and exporter of terror in West Africa sub-region. The study concludes that, the existence of such a country, and the instability that it harbor, not only threatens the lives and livelihoods of its own people but endangers world peace. Ultimately incapable of projecting power and asserting authority within her own borders, leaving her territory governmentally empty. The author among others recommended the need for a National Conference to address the agitations of these groups (actors) or implement the report of already concluded National Conference and the need for the Federal Government to re-position her priorities in respect to the activities and responsibilities of the intelligence agencies in addressing this menace.
