  • The Jonathan Presidency, by Abati, the Guardian, Dec. 17
    The Jonathan Presidency By Reuben Abati Published by The Jonathan Presidency The Jonathan Presidency By Reuben Abati A review of the Goodluck Jonathan Presidency in Nigeria should provide significant insight into both his story and the larger Nigerian narrative. We consider this to be a necessary exercise as the country prepares for the next general elections and the Jonathan Presidency faces the certain fate of becoming lame-duck earlier than anticipated. The general impression about President Jonathan among Nigerians is that he is as his name suggests, a product of sheer luck. They say this because here is a President whose story as a politician began in 1998, and who within the space of ten years appears to have made the fastest stride from zero to “stardom” in Nigerian political history. Jonathan himself has had cause to declare that he is from a relatively unknown village called Otuoke in Bayelsa state; he claims he did not have shoes to wear to school, one of those children who ate rice only at Xmas. When his father died in February 2008, it was probably the first time that Otuoke would play host to the kind of quality crowd that showed up in the community. The beauty of the Jonathan story is to be found in its inspirational value, namely that the Nigerian dream could still take on the shape of phenomenal and transformational social mobility in spite of all the inequities in the land. With Jonathan’s emergence as the occupier of the highest office in the land, many Nigerians who had ordinarily given up on the country and the future felt imbued with renewed energy and hope.

  • Nigeria and Leadership Challenge in the 21St
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 2 No. 13; July 2012 Nigeria and the Challenges of Leadership in the 21st Century: A Critique CHRIS. IWEJUO NWAGBOSO, PhD IN-VIEW Assistant Lecturer Department of Political Science University of Calabar Calabar, Nigeria. OTU DUKE, PhD IN-VIEW Graduate Assistant Department of Political Science University of Calabar Calabar, Nigeria. Abstract This paper attempts a critical exposition of leadership challenge of Nigeria, especially in this 21st century. The paper examines the extent to which inept and corrupt leadership have over the years, adversely affected the development of Nigeria as a nation. It further argues that the western model of leadership which our past and present leaders copied seem to have failed in providing desired answers to perennial challenges confronting Nigeria, hence the need for paradigm shift. The study adopts descriptive approach and content analysis as its methodological orientation. The paper, however, concludes that official corruption which has hitherto cascaded Nigeria’s developmental efforts certainly emanated from poor leadership and needs to be addressed if Nigeria must attain greater heights by the year 2020. The paper therefore recommends among others, the need for Nigerians to urgently reflect back on the values, visions and aspirations of Nigeria’s founding fathers and the institutionalization of leadership training centres at local government levels across the country as platform for the emergence of credible leaders at local, state and national levels in Nigeria. Key Words: Leadership, challenge, corruption service delivery. 1. Introduction Barely fifty years of nationhood, the most critical challenge confronting the giant of Africa – Nigeria, appears to be credible leadership.

  • Crise Et Développement La Région Du Lac Tchad À L’Épreuve De Boko Haram Crise Et Développement
    Crise et développement La région du lac Tchad à l’épreuve de Boko Haram Crise et développement À partir de 2009, l’insécurité liée à l’insurrection du groupe Boko Haram et à sa répression s’est diffusée depuis le cœur du Borno nigérian vers tout le nord-est du pays puis vers les zones frontalières des pays voisins, Cameroun, Niger et Tchad. La crise a affecté progressivement La région du lac Tchad toute la région du lac Tchad, un des grands espaces transfrontaliers de l’Afrique sahélienne, à la charnière de l’Afrique des savanes et du désert, de l’Afrique de l’Ouest et de l’Afrique à l’épreuve de Boko Haram centrale et orientale. Cette étude est la première à aborder la crise Boko Haram à partir d’une perspective transcendant les frontières politiques et linguistiques entre le Nigeria anglophone et les trois pays francophones riverains du lac Tchad. Réalisée par une équipe pluridisciplinaire d’une quinzaine de chercheurs français, britannique, camerounais, nigériens, nigérians et tchadiens, elle considère la région du lac Tchad comme un système. Ses composantes et leurs interactions environnementales, économiques et politiques sont appréhendées depuis une perspective diachronique avant, pendant et après le pic de violence. L’analyse débouche sur une réflexion prospective à 20 ans. À partir du constat que la crise a ébranlé le système de relations qui faisait la résilience de la région du lac Tchad, cette étude de référence vise à éclairer les choix cruciaux qui définiront sa trajectoire de développement à venir.

  • Poverty: Legal and Constitutional Implications for Human Rights Enforcement in Nigeria
    POVERTY: LEGAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL IMPLICATIONS FOR HUMAN RIGHTS ENFORCEMENT IN NIGERIA INTRODUCTION 1. 0 ABSTRACT This work ventilates the problem of poverty in Nigeria, where over 70 percent of the population is living below the poverty line, and the theoretical and practical implications of this for the enforcement of the human rights of the poor, who are completely absorbed in the daily rigours of the struggle for survival in Nigeria. For this class of people, there is a lack of value for human life and dignity, which are the goals of international human rights; they lack access to the basic necessities of life, such as food, clothing, health, education, shelter, etc. They are also excluded and have no voice or power in their communities; they are oppressed, suffer high scale injustice and their rights are violated on a daily basis with impunity on grounds of being poor; worse still, the poor lack effective rights of access to justice. The above makes human rights grossly deficient for the poor, whose human rights have been turned into mere illusions and ‘empty’ rights, with the poor having no effective means of enjoying or protecting those rights. This work therefore examines whether human rights with all that it promises are really relevant in the life of the poor and whether mere constitutional provisions are sufficient to guarantee human rights in the face of illiteracy, ignorance and economic impediments of poverty. The different rights- based approaches to combating the scourge of poverty on the international plane are considered. This work also analyzes the ways by which the conditions of being poor have robbed the poor of their rights, and in a lucid manner elucidates the many perennial and monumental challenges confronting the poor in accessing justice, a situation which has made it difficult for the poor to escape from the clutches of poverty.
