Abstract:	Conflict and restiveness have become so endemic in Nigeria to the extent that Nigeria is commonly known at home and internationally as a crisis ridden nation. To demonstrate this, the federal government of Nigeria has earmarked at least one-third of its national budget for the year 2012 for security and conflict management. If the real dynamics and trajectories of the Nigerian conflict are not understood, the budget provision and other resources will be useless ultimately. Unfortunately, most of the drivers and armies of the conflicts are youths. It is against this background that this article explores the subject of youth restiveness and the entrepreneurial options in the country. Bibliogr., sum. [Journal abstract]
