      The book explores the relevance of youths in the context of their contributions and the challenges they pose to the security and development of Ile-Ife and Modakeke communities. It assesses the impact of the renewed communal clashes on the youth and the security and development of their communities in the conflict and post-conflict eras. The book contributes to the understanding of how intercommunal conflicts in Ile-Ife and Modakeke turned youths into both security assets and liabilities. It provides a critical link in scholarship on the youth as a phenomenon in different cultures and contexts. It shows that a clearer understanding of militarised youths in search of identity and given limited opportunities has the capability of providing a sound basis for policy formulation that could provide a logical solution to security-related problems, not only in the study area but in the whole of Nigeria and even elsewhere in the world.
