Abstract
This study used secondary data to demonstrate that the seemly unmanageable labour market destroys the foundation of social order in the Nigerian State which Boko Haram epitomizes effectively and efficiently. This study is posed to handle the theoretical framework of reference, which tries to situate the whole episode, the labour market and social order that demonstrate the uneasiness in society as a result of the over saturated labour market, Boko Haram: the real issues, this tries to situate the Boko Haram movement within the contest of rebellion against a State that have failed in all ramifications rather than a religious sect, good governance and resource management as the only way out of the quagmire, the study made recommendations that the seemly unmanageable labour market destroys the foundation of social order in the Nigerian State which Boko Haram epitomizes effectively and efficiently
