Preface

Some time you may observe somebody frown his face as though deep in thought or probably encountered unfortunate situation or being cheated of dealings that should have generated a positive impact to his endeavours, you may not really also be tempted to greet the person on that mood. Because if you do, you may be an escape goat to the person where he can pour out the ugly situation that was prompting the frowning in him or her.

What to be done is to allow the frowning face to brightening to enable you to address the unfortunate situation in a manner that can build the lost hope of the person and ensuring for a greater positive impact that worth more than the previous and by so doing you will be able to arrest the person from destructive way.

This book informed you the easy destructive way of life and properties in a misconduct manner. It is also an exposition of the trends and events that always takes place in the global societies. One has to understand that any-person who is not abreast with global happenings is groping in the dark.

The awareness of things happening in our environment helps to outline our course of actions and utterances.

Terrorism did not just come up of its own; rather the course was championed or operated by some higher authorities in an organization and society. Such unwholesome activities seem to be a means of agitation for economic and political balances. Though it is noted that well-informed person is an asset to the nation and in other hand, uninformed person is a curse to humanity and his nation.

If I may ask this question: should resource control agitated by the oil producing communities in the Niger Delta, raised an uproar to the people and economic chaos?'' most of our leaders thought they are sharp of using our boys, but have no chronological ideal to retrospect some chaotic events caused by their predecessors and refused to be well-informed to correct the error for future occurrences. Sometimes they do not think that someday, after using the boys and dumping them, the boys in search of there green pastures would look for them in a dangerous manner which can affect the lives and the economy of the nation.

Dedication

This book is dedicated to God Almighty who taught me how to read and write; with him all things are possible.

Abstract:

Global Terrorism and property vandalization has taken me too far in research to explain and analyze these written chapters in this book for enlightenment of the world. This book tells us that one uses terrorist to describe violent acts, and violent acts appear as terrorism, which lead to property vandalizations. If the world is thought to be at war, violent acts may be regarded as legitimate. Sometime, most of the prominent office holdings engages the young ones into unwholesome acts to achieve an aim in either convenient to them or take an industrial actions to suit them, and after which dump the people in a wayward habits condition, and in the search of wanting, which may not have the access to that, violence is introduced to ensure the need is achieved.

Another issue is that, one have to understand that what always generates violence is that politics in Nigeria has truly become a do or die affair in which many of our politicians, in their desperation for power, are willing to kill and maim innocent people by using the young once to achieve their aim.

There are often political implications when the term terrorist is used. Many groups consider their selves to be freedom fighters, not being terrorists. Note: once it is aimed at non combatants and the use of violence for dramatic purpose to instigate fear, and threat, regardless of whether they are a group of insurgents or not-may often uses terrorist tactics, i.e. they are known as terrorists.

The book has pointed out series of things that enhance terrorism in the world, Nigeria as a case study. Lets us learn how to make use of our pen rather than weapon. Pen is mightier than any weapon to get your fundamental rights.

Introduction

Terrorism is not a new thing in the world, and even though it has been used since the beginning of recorded history, it can be relatively hard to define. Terrorism has been described variously as both tactics and strategies, a crime and a holy duty; a justified reaction to oppression and an inexcusable abomination. Obviously, a lot depends on whose point of view is being presented.

Terrorism has often been an effective tactic for the weaker side in a conflict. As an asymmetric form of conflict, it confers coercive power with many of the advantages of military force at a fraction of the cost. Due to the secretive nature and small size of terrorist organizations, they often offer opponents no clear organization to defend against or to deter. This is the reason preemption is being considered to be so important. In some cases, terrorism has been considered to be so important. Terrorism has been a means to carry on a conflict without the adversary realizing the nature of the threat, mistaking terrorism for criminal activity.

Because of these characteristics, terrorism has become increasingly common among those pursuing extreme goals throughout the world. But despite its popularity, terrorism can be a nebulous concept. Even within the United State's Government, agencies responsible for different functions in the on-going fight against terrorism use different definitions.

The department of defense in United States said terrorism is the calculated use of unlawful violence or that of unlawful violence to inculcate fear, intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological.

Within this, there are three key elements: violence, fear, and intimidation. Each element produces terror in its victims. Terrorism can be explained as one stage of human development. It can be described as a direct result of dire poverty.

The march of civilization sometimes overtakes the speed with which MAN catches up with it. Violence and terrorism can be further explained and overcome. The physical, the body, in the absence of acquiring skills, demands a release for its energy.

To those who are differently organized, it releases its energies as violence, including terrorism. Affluent societies on the other hand have passed this stage through culture, skill, and education. Therefore, to enable violent societies to absorb energies properly, ending poverty is the obvious solution.

Education is the means to do this. In spread education to abolish poverty is the process to absorb energies, and bring skills, and culture, ending violence and terrorism. In areas of limited opportunity, energies that would other-wise go to work, career, and prosperity, is going into fighting. The unabsorbed energies of productive work are being absorbed by anguish and terror.

CHAPTER ONE

TERRORISM

Terrorism is the unlawful use of force and violence against person(s) or property (ies) to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population or any segment thereof, or social and political objectives. It is a well-planned game i.e. premeditated politically, arranges or motivated violence to perpetrate against non-combatant targets by sub-national groups or clandestine agents. It is also the use of violence for political and maneuvering reasons against the ethics and human nature in a surrounding environment.

Terrorism is described as violent acts, especially murder, kidnapping, shooting and bombing in order to maneuver and achieve political and industrial aims. A violent act depends on whether one thinks that the acts are warranted to do so. To a large extent, the use of the term depends on one's world view; if the world is thought to be at war, violent acts may be regarded as legitimate.

So, there are often political implications when the term terrorism is used. Many groups consider themselves to be freedom fighters, and claimed not to be terrorists. Note that ones you behaved abnormally or display violence in the environment, it shows terrorisms "which acts aimed at non combatants and the use of violence for dramatic purpose, namely to instigate fear and tension to the human beings.

Therefore, militants-regardless of whether they are a group of insurgents or a civil government may often use terrorist tactics to display. You may never come across any bomb blast attack, but you may have likely heard the similar incidents are occurring often around the world. More and more people are resorting to violence. It is only four (4) countries where a sustained campaign of suicide bombing attacks had taken place.

But in 2008 this same researcher wrote that
