It is widely known that United States of America and Nigeria has been battling with problem of terrorism. Therefore, the two nations has been making all efforts at building an effective and sustainable counter terrorism mechanism. However, the current researcher is analyzing the United States of America and Nigeria counter-terrorism mechanism.
The study is a qualitative one and will be relying majorly on secondary sources and real occurrence events. Findings revealed that both in the United States of America and Nigeria, terrorists use violence to attract attention to a cause, to instill fear, and to enforce demands. The motives are political or religious. Terrorists’ grievances over such issues as persecution, oppression, poverty, discrimination, lack of human rights, and living under military occupation, often lead to violence. Results further revealed that USA has been on the frontline globally in the counterterrorism struggle, Nigeria has also played similar roles, but it is very clear that USA is adequately prepared for any terrorist attack any day anytime, while terrorism activities has almost crumbled all economic activities in some states in Nigeria. The researcher therefore recommends that the government of Nigeria should build a better counterterrorism structure that will tackle the causes of terrorism in both countries.
