| Sumario: | The article presents an in-depth discussion concerning the Ife-Modakeke conflict (IM conflict) within the Yoruba peoples of Southwest Nigeria since the mid-19th century. An overview is provided describing the history of the conflict and its causes, outlining the political and ethnic instability between the Modakeke people and the Ile-Ife after the fall of the Old-Oyo city-state. The authors then apply the Collier-Hoeffler economic model of civil wars to the analysis of the conflict, suggesting that greed is the true cause of the ongoing conflict rather than a focus on historical grievances. |
