Abstract: The study investigates the effect of migrant pastoralist activities on the socio – economic life of the people living in Edo State, Nigeria. The study takes a look at the herdsmen activities and insecurity in Nigeria, factors militating against effective management of migrant herdsmen activities, as well as socio- economic effects of Fulani herdsmen activities on the people living in Edo State. The study which adopted a survey design approach concluded that the struggle for limited natural sources is the bane of migrant pastoralists/ farmers’ conflict in Edo State, and that the reckless and senseless attacks on the framers in Edo State have great Socio- Economic implication on the people living in Edo State as many farmers have abandoned farming and farms, for fear of being killed, raped, or maimed by the ravaging migrant herdsmen. This by extension has led to increase in the prices of food items. Based on this, may recommend among others that the government should encourage the establishment of ranches by the herders’ in line with international best practices to forestall the serial killings by the migrant herdsmen and address the security threat posed by this attacks.
