Abstract: The objective of the research is to assess the moral impact of Boko Haram insurgency on the youth of EkklesiysarYan’uwaA Nigerian (EYN) is Bornoand Adamawa states. Boko Haram members have caused wanton destructions of lives and properties in North-Eastern Nigeria. Different scholars have worked on the social, physical, economic and psychological impact of Boko Haram but less attention has been given to moral impact which the researcher considers to be very crucial for peaceful co-existence. Survey design was adopted for this research with sampled population of 835 respondents to represent the general population of EYN members in Borno and Adamawa states which is 1,164,240. Multi-stage purposive sampling was adopted in sampling of churches but random sapling was used for respondents. Three instruments were used togather data: Questionnaire, Interview and Observations.The result of the findings reveals the tremendous impact of moral impact of insurgency on the EYN youths because many youths delve into stealing, killings, drunkenness, smoking, prostitutions, stubbornness to authority and parents. Three (3) recommendations were given; to the parents to take their parental roles seriously, youths to come back to the church for betterment of their lives and the government to wake up on their responsibility of protecting the citizens.
Keywords: Boko Haram insurgency, killings, drunkenness, smoking, prostitutions, social, physical, economic.
