  • Political Season of Letter-Writing, Nigerians' Disenchantment And
    ISSN 2349-7831 International Journal of Recent Research in Social Sciences and Humanities (IJRRSSH) Vol. 5, Issue 4, pp: (338-346), Month: October - December 2018, Available at: www.paperpublications.org Political Season of Letter-Writing, Nigerians’ Disenchantment and President Buhari’s Re-Election Agenda Mike Omilusi Ph.D Department of Political Science, Ekiti State University, Nigeria Abstract: Ahead of the 2019 general elections, two former heads of state have once again set the Nigerian polity agog with their open unexpectedly critical letters to President Muhammadu Buhari highlighting his government’s shortcomings. They called for a third force to replace the two apparently effete dominant political parties in the country -- the Peoples’ Democratic Party (PDP) and All Progressive Congress (APC). Focusing on the widespread disenchantment with the Buhari administration, this essay examines the contents of the letters, the writers’ motives, and the implications of such open confrontation for the political realignment among electoral gladiators preparatory to the 2019 elections. Keywords: Politics, Re-Election, Letter-Writing, Ruling Class. 1. INTRODUCTION President Buhari was given tremendous leeway and was lauded across the world upon assuming office. Many observers – and even those in the human rights community – were willing to give him the benefit of the doubt, desperately wanting to believe his claim of being a “born again democrat” (Smith, 2016). On assumption office in May 2015, Muhammadu Buhari faced the daunting tasks of living up to exceedingly high international expectations and meeting the needs of a nation that was clearly yearning for change. Indeed, one would be hard-pressed to recall an African head of state that came to office with more pressure, but also with as much as the amount of goodwill that President Buhari immediately assumed after his predecessor, Goodluck Jonathan, conceded power.

    Registered Charity No. 1120876 Europoint House 5 Lavington Street London SE1 0NZ Telephone : +44 (0)20 7261 9650 E-mail : [email protected] Website: www.britain-nigeria.org CONFIDENTIAL Special Edition NIGERIA DIGEST – October 2016 BNET Exclusive – The Chibok Schoolgirls Members will be aware of the recent news that 21 of the schoolgirls who were kidnapped from the village of Chibok in April 2014 were released, meaning that 219 of the schoolgirls are still in captivity. This happened after intense negotiations between the Nigerian Government and Boko Haram, which were brokered by the International Red Cross and the Swiss Government. What was not made public at the time was that the appalling news that of the 21 schoolgirls, 18 had had babies. Negotiations for the release of the remaining schoolgirls are still ongoing at the time of this report. Whilst the parents of the schoolgirls who remain in captivity wait in hope for the return of their children, news has emerged the President Buhari recently rejected the opportunity to pay €5 billion ransom (N1.711 trillion) for the release of the schoolgirls who remain in captivity, following negotiations between the Nigerian Government and Boko Haram, which have carried on in secret for a number of months. This startling revelation is reported to be contained within the book Muhammadu Buhari: the Challenges of Leadership in Nigeria written by Professor John Paden, to be published on December 1 st 2016. In the book it is claimed that on several occasions captured Boko Haram terrorists were taken to Maiduguri to be exchanged for the Chibok schoolgirls, but negotiations collapsed when, in addition, Boko Haram demanded a ransom of €5 billion for the release of the girls.

  • Hate Speech and the 2015 General Elections in Nigeria
    IJASOS- International E-Journal of Advances in Social Sciences, Vol. III, Issue 9, December 2017 HATE SPEECH AND THE 2015 GENERAL ELECTIONS IN NIGERIA Abiodun Fasakin1, Olusola Oyero2*, Kehinde Oyesomi, Nelson Okorie4 1Mr, Covenant University, NIGERIA, [email protected] 2Ass. Professor, Dr., Covenant University, NIGERIA, [email protected] 3Dr, Covenant University, NIGERIA, [email protected] 4Dr, Covenant University, NIGERIA, [email protected] *Corresponding author Abstract Elections in the world are not taken with levity as it is one of the major determinants of what would become of the certain country in some years to come. During the 2015 general election in Nigeria, the political environment was intensified with the proliferation of adverts, political innuendos and propaganda messages. Media organisations in Nigeria, as always, became vehicles and channels of expressions and propaganda. A significant number of these messages had elements of hate speeches which were targeted at ridiculing opponents and opposition parties. Nigeria has witnessed several elections and campaigns with the intention of securing the people‟s vote, however, the political environment of Nigeria is not which that can be describe as conducive with candidates attacking personalities and political parties. Questions are being raised as citizens want to find out the role hate speeches plays in election campaigns and how it affects voter‟s choice of candidate with their perception about such candidate before, during and after the election. The essence of the hate speech is to ridicule and lower the esteem of others before well-meaning voters. This paper evaluated the extent at which hate speeches were used during the 2015 general elections in Nigeria.

    J Res Development An Open Access Journal DOI: 10.12816/0052831 • ISSN: 2311-3278 Journal of Research and Development Research Article Homepage: www.arabianjbmr.com AGJ EXCLUSIVE DEMOCRACY AND NATIONAL INSECURITY IN NIGERIA Okeke, Remi Chukwudi Department of Public Administration and Local Government University of Nigeria, Nsukka Email: [email protected] Imaga, Harkins Chidi Department of Public Administration Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Enugu State, Nigeria Obiakonwamuo, Obumneme Nestor Department of Public Administration Imo State Polytechnic, Umuagwo, Imo State, Nigeria ABSTRACT This study examines the subject of exclusive democracy and national insecurity in Nigeria, interrogating the nature of the relationship between these variables. The methodology of the work is logical argumentation. The study is framed on the elite theory, further positing that the Nigerian brand of democracy is still filled with curious tendencies, bordering on immense exclusivities in democracy practices. To confront the attendant generic insecurity, the study calls for a critical role by the civil society. Linkages were established in the paper between the incidences of insecurity and joblessness in the country. The work concludes that democracy may be in decline on a global scale but the Nigerian democracy must not be part of this decline, for it (democracy) has hardly even ascended to any nationally acceptable profitable level in the country. We further concluded in the paper that national security may only be obtained in the country by the neutralization of the energy-dissipating forces inherent in the defining features of exclusive democracy in Nigeria. And this requires the emergence of a nationally formidable leadership team in the country.

  • Patriarchy and “Closed Spaces”: Keeping Nigerian Women in “The Other Room”
    [Ibadan Journal of Sociology, Jun., 2018, 7 ] 5 [© 2014-2018 Ibadan Journal of Sociology] Patriarchy And “Closed Spaces”: Keeping Nigerian Women In “The Other Room” Aituaje Irene Pogoson Department of Political Science University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria Email: [email protected] Abstract Following the traditional belief that the place of the woman is in the kitchen, women are frequently relegated to the status of second-class citizen in Nigeria. In the Nigerian culture, not only do men have more social, political, and economic power than women, they are also imperceptibly treated differently. This is a consequence of an overriding social setting dominated by a general culture of male power and superiority. In this setting, men are treated with respect, their needs attended to, and their views treasured. What is not apparent however, is that women are not given the same respect as they are oftentimes less valued, ignored, or disregarded. In the public realm, women are not quite visible in positions of authority nor welcomed in certain spaces and situations where men feel absolutely comfortable; while in the private realm, they are subjected to the dictates of men. This trend was recently amplified by President Muhammadu Buhari’s ridiculing remark in Germany that his wife, Aisha Buhari, “belongs to my kitchen and my living room and the other room”- presumably the bedroom, following some unfavorable remarks she made to BBC Hausa Service about him. The President’s remark underscores the extent to which women’s rights and their value are undermined in the Nigerian patriarchal society. It is a “closed space” where existing stereotypes have reduced an average woman to an inferior citizen.

HENDRIX* I. Introduction A plume of smoke billows from what used to be the mosque. Dead male bodies lay in the street in various states of undress and mutilation. The women and children have been taken off. Community leaders-the imam, the mayor, respected elders-have been impaled, the bank looted, the school burned, the jailhouse opened, and the prisoners freed to join the insurgents. The town is dead. This is the suffering of countless communities across Borno State and parts of Yobe, Adamawa, and Gombe states in northeastern Nigeria over these past three years.' How can Nigeria defeat terrorism?

    Women and Nigerian Politics: An Appraisal of 2015 General Elections OLALERE, Titilope Olusegun (Mrs) Department of History & International Studies McPherson University, Seriki-Sotayo, Ogun State Email: [email protected], Tel: 08027351714 Abstract The major thrust of this paper is an appraisal of the dynamics of Nigerian women involvement in politics since the birth of the fourth republic with special reference to the 2015 general elections. Major areas of their involvement in politics that this paper intends to interrogate include participation in elective positions (Presidential, Gubernatorial, National and State Houses of Assembly elections), electioneering processes, campaigns and rallies among others. It argues that in spite of the increasing number of Nigerian women in politics, the country‟s politics is still largely dominated by men. The challenges facing the active participation of Nigerian women in politics such as cultural factor, lack of internal democracy among political parties, gender discrimination, lack of fund and so on are also analysed in the paper. The paper concludes that the involvement of women in Nigerian politics in the Fourth Republic has taken a new dimension especially with reference to 2015 general elections. For the first time in the political history of Nigeria in the republic, a major political party in the country (All Progressives Congress) presented a female candidate as a standard bearer for the gubernatorial election in Taraba State. The paper adopts historical, descriptive and empirical methods in its analysis. Key words: Women, Politics, Elections, Democracy 1 Introduction In historical perspective, the involvement of Nigerian women in politics spanned through three distinct epochs, namely, pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial.
