Abstract	What motivated this paper was the quest to inform people both from within and without Nigeria, of the need to understand insurgency and Boko Haram within the context of global, historical and theoretical perspectives as they relate to level of insecurity and how criminal they are to various societies. The data collected was purely documentary and anecdotal evidence which was analyzed qualitatively. Analysis was also made of the various counter insurgency measures (COIN) taken by successive governments in Nigeria to determine its success or otherwise. Findings were that insurgency and Boko Haram have substantially influenced the youths in inflicting a lot of pain on Nigerian society and beyond, in which case, theoretical perspectives were employed as explanatory tools for ways out. The recommendations among others include government to be proactive rather than being reactionary by taking the fight to the insurgents.
