Answer 2

Out of the given equations, “Religious differences are the only cause of violence”, the statement about the causes of the violence in Nigeria is false.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

The conflict is caused by the deterioration of the meadow climate and growing violence in the far north of the country. The conflict between farmers and herders has become the biggest security challenge in Nigeria, taking far more casualties than the rise of Boko Haram.

This carried out hundreds of thousands and increased ethnic, regional and religious polarisation. It is threatening to become even more deadly and may affect the upcoming elections and undermine the stability of the country.

Violence between Nigerian shepherds and peasants has increased since 2018 January, more than 1,300 people were killed. There are various causes for the conflict such as political instability, inequity, corruption, religious sentiments, poor economy, poverty, etc. So, the statement in option D is false.
