This paper examined the occurring events of oil spillage, violent conflict and its implications for food sufficiency. It drew from the ideas and views of the resource curse theory, which respectively argue that abundance in natural resource breeds room for mismanagement and trigger tendencies for abuse. The paper argued that incidents of oil spillage through various forms including vandalism and bunkering which stands as one of the violent activities in the region can create strong downturn for food production and sufficiency. The paper used secondary sources of data and narrative analysis methods. It showed that while  the multinational oil companies and  government drilled crude oil that left massive spills for decades, the ecological  strength of the region was experiencing a devastating degradation which was left unchecked without any form of remedy, and grew into a horror of economic displacement of the people who had agricultural activities as a means of survival, leading all sorts of violent conflict just to survive the reality of losing it all to be able to survive the harsh economy. This harsh economy is as a result of the negative implications it has created on food sufficiency especially for the few areas available for different forms of agricultural purposes. The paper concluded that more severe cases of agricultural stagnation will occur, which will place pressure on food sufficiency especially with the extinction of certain crops and sea foods if the issues bothering on spillage and environmental damage in the Niger Delta region are not given the needed attention and solution. Its recommendations include: a sensitization program on the dangers of violent conflicts especially ones causing spillage and insecurity towards farmers, fishermen and traders, a collaborative project between government and multinational oil companies in enhancing the agricultural base and carrying out strict routine checks and repairs on facilities that could create spillage causing harm to the land and waters.
