Nigerians develop resilience and self-efficacy to counteract the impact of
adversity in the country. It is as if they know that a strong sense of self-efficacy is an
important component of resilience. The purpose of this research work is to see the link
between resilience and self-efficacy. We studied this particular problem using the theory
of self-efficacy.
Material and methods: The target of this research was the citizens of Nigeria from
different ethnic groups. Our sample was composed of 343 individuals: 139 males (40.5%)
while 204 were females (59.5%).
Results: The result shows that a good number of those who answered the questionnaire
calm their anxiety in the face of crisis and tend not to avoid conflict.
Conclusions: To this effect, Nigerians build their resilience and self-efficacy, because
without these traits the individual risk becoming overwhelmed by adversity, crisis, and
succumbing to feelings of hopelessness and despair.
