description Except with the advent of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the country in the year 2020, insurgent activities associated with internal migration and, especially the ones perpetrated by the Fulani herdsmen in Nigeria, have been daily news in recent times. Because of the widespread nature of the activities, complexity, persistence, acute dreadfulness, socio-political, economic, judicial, military, historical, and other perspectives have been engaged to examine the myriad instances. Several solutions have been proposed and implemented. Lamentably, none of the solutions has successfully been able to stop the Fulani insurgents. In joining the quest for the more viable solutions to the malicious perpetrations against the Christian fold, particularly in the Middle Belt and southern regions of Nigeria, the present article proposes a theonomous counterintuitive strategy as a panacea. Consisting of tripodal PRP-R techniques, the theonomous counterintuitive strategy is hereby put forward as the more viable way of resolving the migratory insurgent challenges in Nigeria and beyond. The strategy is drawn from the application of Ephesians by Vernon K. Robbins’s social and cultural textural reading of biblical texts.
