Summary This study relies on a qualitative research approach using the case study/multiple case study design and grounded theory to explore how the internal and external development interventions toward the Niger Delta and Boko Haram Nigerian conflicts have been developed and the issues that have arisen concerning their effectiveness. The Niger Delta and Boko Haram insurgencies stand out among conflict groups in Nigeria as they have produced global consequences, hence provoking domestic and international counter-insurgency and counter-terrorism efforts. Military responses remain primary, but development responses are being increasingly employed. The Nigerian case study is part of a broader phenomenon in Sub-Saharan Africa--a region considered as one of the poorest in the world and one bedeviled with mounting insurgency and terrorism. For instance, since 1999, when Nigeria, a major country in the region, returned to civilian administration, following 16 years of successive military rule, it has seen an upsurge in violent conflicts leading to insurgency and terrorism. A total of 52 participants participated in the research including 15 one-to-one interviews, 22 joint interviews, and 2 focus groups of 10 and 5 participants each. The interviews and focus groups were combined with documentary analysis and observation to achieve triangulation
