The human society (air, land and sea) is made up of numerous resources which men, with the help of state power do exploit. But, the exploitation of resources is not determined by any individual rather, the state. In Nigerian, three factors revolved around the way in which resources are controlled. These factors include: social politics, conflict and legality. This descriptive research builds a nexus between this three socio political issues and resource control in Nigeria. The research adopts the Relative Deprivation Theory and Realist Group Conflict Theory in its discourse. This research recommends that; there should be inclusive cooperate participation in governance to enhance patriotism of the citizenry. Government and politics should be targeted at the welfare of the masses, Resource control measures should be substantiated, realistic and value-laden, contrary to the current situation, and Government should identify the democratic needs of the people and address them in the most Democratic way that works for the people.
