  • Rise, Development Jingoists Is Not a Some Specie of Old Leadership That
    Bulletin of Ecumenical Theology 2(2, 1989) - 3(1, 1990). THE KADUNA MAFIA AND THE CHURCH IN NIGERIA By Bala J. Takaya Many a Nigerian still asks the question "Do they reaily exist?" We therefore begin by an attempt to clear that doubt. The book, The Kaduna Mafia: A study of the Rise, Development and Consolidation of a Nigerian Power Elite � is not a fictional work. The term "Mafia" applied to the Kaduna-centric jingoists is not a mere metaphor either: for like the Italian or American Mafiosi, the real kernel of the Kaduna-oriented social formation see themselves not only as descendants of some specie of old leadership that is threatened by political extinction but, to avoid that real possibility (of extinction), also as a targeted group that must fight back by systematically extending and foisting "Northern" hegemony over the rest of the nation. The iMtimate objective is to project their par­ ticularistic interests and sub-culture as those of the Nigerian nation. They believe this is possible only if they can create and control a modern day caliphate, based on the Usmania tradition for Nigeria. As such, as unknown to other Nigerians, they have embarked on a vicious subterranean game of power with the long-run goal of im­ perial rebirth and domination. The findings of the study upon which the book is based would in­ deed suggest that a stronger appellation, implying a more sinister and all-embracing underground manipulations than the term "Mafia" evinces is needed, given their ultimate goal of political domination on the basis of the "Caliphal philosophy".

  • Isaac Olawale Albert Explaining ‘Godfatherism’ in Nigerian Politics
    Af ri can So cio log i cal Re view, 9, (2), 2005, pp.79-105. Isaac Olawale Albert Explaining ‘godfatherism’ in Nigerian Politics Take it or leave it, the arche typal godfather in Nigeria is more than the ruthless Mario Puzo’s kingpins in the Italian Mafia setting. While the fictional godfather is charac terized as ‘a shadowy, dare-devil recluse, who combines immense under world financial muscle with near mythical powers of enormous propor tions’, which is to attain a further greasing of the ever-increasing vast financial empire, the Nigeria type has the added charac ter - ization of conceit, ego, loquacity, pettiness, envy, strife, crudity, and confusion.1 Intro duction The works of Plato, Aristotle, Tacitus, and other classical philos o phers are largely focussed on the concen tration of political power in the hands of a few in the early Greek and Roman society. Thinkers such as Pareto, Mosca, Michels, and Marx2 too devoted their political analysis to how power is used and misused by the elite class in different contexts. The domination of power by the hegemonic class in many parts of the contem porary world can thus be said to be nothing new but has a robust pedigree. The main lesson from all these works is that the study of political elites and leadership is very important for under - standing the trajec tories of devel opment in any society. As Welsh observed,3 political elites ‘partic ipate in, or influence the making of, decisions that allocate resources within and among social units’. A variety of conflicts are produced in the process.

  • In Northern Nigeria
    LONG STRUGGLE FOR THE SHARI'A IN NORTHERN NIGERIA Risto Marjomaa PROLOGUE This article aims to evaluate the political dimensions of the prolonged attempts to reintroduce full Islamic law, the Shari'a, in northern Nigeria during the last century or so. The chosen viewpoint regards the Shari'a solely as a political slogan to which various political, moral, social and economical arguments have been attached at different times. The true nature of the Shari'a, if indeed it is possible to determine, is not under scrutiny here. Rather than committing myself to support one or another interpretation, I shall concentrate on examining how they have been used for political purposes in the current case study.r Shari'a law differs in many aspects from westem judicial principles. It does not differentiate between civil and criminal jurisdiction, nor does it rely on a written code of law. Over the course of time, Muslim scholars have passed a multitude ofjudgments on legal issues, sometimes contradicting each other. This has led to the birth of Islamic schools of jurisprudence, of which the Maliki School is the prevailing in West Africa. Still, even they do not ascribe to written judicial treatises, but base their judgments on the Quran, tradition and conven- tional legal concepts.2 There is also a larger meaning that has been attributed to the Shari'a by Muslim scholars. It has been regarded as a divinely inspired blueprint for the establishment of a perfect society. Thus it covers not only jurisdiction, but practically all aspects of communal life. Such a wider scope for the Shari'a hugely I Fo¡.

It is argued that the salience of ethno-political these “young men's clubs” were speedily coalescing into pan- organizations in Nigeria's recent transition rests, first, on the historical process of state making in Nigeria, specifically on the ethnic organizations like the Igbo State Union, the Hausa- insertion of ethnic groups in the structure of that state with Fulani Jamiyyar Mutanen Arewa and the Yoruba Egbe Omo pertinent effects.

  • Power-Sharing in Nigeria
    Central European University Department of Political Science Power-sharing The Element of Continuity in Nigerian Politics By Nkwachukwu Orji A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisor Nenad Dimitrijevic Central European University - Budapest PhD Committee Raufu Mustapha, University of Oxford - UK CEU eTD Collection Cyril Obi, Nordic African Institute - Uppsala Budapest 2008 I hereby declare that this work contains no materials accepted for any other degrees in any other institutions. This thesis contains no materials previously written and/or published by another person, unless otherwise noted. CEU eTD Collection 1 Abstract This dissertation analyzes elements of continuity in Nigerian politics, focusing on the issues and forces underlying the conception, interpretation, procedures and practices of power- sharing. It challenges the “discontinuity perspective” adopted by most of the literature on Nigerian politics, which emphasizes conflicts and instability without adequately considering the stable, continuous and conflict management aspects of Nigerian politics. Intuitively, it seems justified to characterize Nigerian politics as discontinuous considering the seemly high incidence of institutional changes; however this is only a partial point of view. This study therefore argues that there is a deeper structure of political continuity that exists alongside institutional changes in Nigeria, which requires investigation, interpretation and explication. It suggests that this element of continuity can be found in the practice of power-sharing. The study presents explanations for the adoption, implementation and continuity of power-sharing in Nigeria. The research undertaken was based on process tracing method, involving a re- description of history based on review of published and unpublished literature, government documents, and media reports as well as interpretation of other available data.
