Forced migration is a commonly overlooked but very importa any of people to abandoned their original places of abode, placing a heavy responsibility on both domestic and international governments to deal with the predicament of these forgotten communities. However, for every person who quits a violent scenario, there are numerous others who stay, posing significant issues for both researchers and decision-makers. This paper will study or investigate variations in individual-level behaviour toward the habit of fleeing in reaction to the insurgency caused by the Boko Haram along the Lake Chad Basin's periphery. Multivariate analysis was used to explain variation in forced migration across three Local Government Areas; Abadam, Kukawa and Monguno that were severely impacted by the mayhem that affect significant number of social pabric such as economic opportunity, physical infrastructure, geographical terrain, and social networks using secondary and primary data collected through fieldwork in the Lake Chad Basin. Additionally, information was obtained about how people behaved when faced with security risks in their houses and whether they used any potential coping techniques. Without also comprehending the actions of those who are adamant about fleeing, a study of the reasons why individuals escape amid war will fall short. The study offers fresh perspectives on variance and individual-level behaviour that are missing from many previous studies which is thought to be the gap that inspired the empirical shift to emphasise. The current analysis shows that variations in forced migration at the individual level are influenced by both the circumstances people find themselves in and the opportunities those circumstances present to them.
