Introduction
War is a situation characterized by the existence of vicious battle, comprising of excessive violence, public disorder, and high death rates. In many occasions, war is a spontaneous activity that arises as a result of differences between two opposing groups or parties with a target of modifying the material or physiological hierarchy of supremacy or impartiality among two or more teams. Peace refers to a situation where there is the absence of violence, antagonism, revenge and sovereignty from the fear of war/conflict. Both aspects of peace and war influence the distribution of resources emanating from foreign aid among developing nations. The paper intends to examine the positive and negative impacts of both war and peace on international assistance in Nigeria. Besides, it plans to investigate the measures that the leader of Nigeria has taken through the use of external help to solve the challenges caused by the war in Nigeria. Additionally, it will discuss the usefulness of extension of donations as a way of decreasing poverty and the occurrence of war in Nigeria. War and peace have an impact on the amount of foreign aid that Nigeria receives because it determines the stability and success of the nation.

At times, peace can limit the amount of foreign aid that Nigeria receives. Some of the developing nations and other donors might commit their funds to countries experiencing political turmoil and leave out peaceful nations. They will give their donations to these countries because of the necessity of ending the war in these countries. As a result, Nigeria might not receive any gifts if it is peaceful.
On the other hand, war has an impact on the donations that Nigeria receives from the donors. It is likely to reduce the amount of foreign aid that Nigeria gets from the donors. It is a common phenomenon among the countries experiencing war across the globe. Foreign/developing nations impose sanctions on the governments suffering from conflict. As a result, they cut down the donations which they distribute to developing countries like Nigeria. In the long-run, the state may not be able to finance its long-term projects like construction of road and railway network (Einstein & Nathan, 2017). War can at times increase the amount of foreign-aid that Nigeria receives from donors. The donations will come from those nations ...
