ABSTRACT
Abstract: 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.
