![]() ![]() ![]() The movement of Ogbomoso migrants to Jos was dictated by the economic and social challenges of colonial and post-colonial periods. It examines the historical antecedent of Ogbomoso migrants in northern Nigeria with emphasis on Jos metropolis. It discusses the factors that motivated a sizeable number of Ogbomoso people (from southwestern Nigeria) to leave their hometown for a new place/space in Jos (northern Nigeria). This paper attempts an in-depth analysis of the economic impact of Ogbomoso migrant community in the Jos metropolis. The ex-post factor research design was used for the study and secondary data were collected from textbooks, journal articles, reports, magazines, newspapers, and internet. ![]() It is within this context that this paper seeks to examine what the Nigeria state has done and is still doing to bringing perpetrators of international crimes to justice and to determine where and how the ICC can be involved. The ICC has jurisdiction over these crimes but can only prosecutewhen member states are unable or unwilling to prosecute. All these atrocities have gained the attention of the international community and many (especially the International Criminal Court-ICC) are pressurising and waiting to see the action of Nigeria in prosecuting such crimes. There is also the farmers/herders conflict which recorded more death in 2014 than Boko Haram. These include the ethnic and religious violence in the Middle Belt since the early 1990s, the clash between the Islamic Movement of Nigeria and the Nigerian Army in December 2015, and the killings of Biafran protesters in 2017. There were other crimes not associated with the Boko Haram insurgency. Since the beginning of Boko Haram insurgency in Nigeria in 2009, and the extrajudicial killing of Muhammed Yusuf (the group's founder and leader), there emerged accusations of human rights abuses against the Nigeria military on their counter insurgency struggles on one hand, and on the other hand, Boko Haram have committed atrocities involving crimes of murder, rape, kidnapping, using women and girls as suicide bombers. ![]()
