  • Colonial Army Formats in Africa and Post-Colonial Military Coups
    Scientia Militaria, South African Journal of Military Studies, Vol 35, Nr 1, 2007. doi: 10.5787/35-1-31 99 COLONIAL ARMY RECRUITMENT PATTERNS AND POST-COLONIAL MILITARY COUPS D’ÉTAT IN AFRICA: THE CASE OF NIGERIA, 1966-1993 ___________________________________________ Dr E. C. Ejiogu, Department of Sociology University of Maryland Abstract Since time immemorial, societies, states and state builders have been challenged and transformed by the need and quest for military manpower.1 European states relied on conscript armies to ‘pacify’ and retain colonies in parts of the non-European world. These facts underscore the meticulous attention paid by the British to the recruitment of their colonial forces in Africa. In the Niger basin for one, conscious efforts were made by individual agents of the British Crown and at official level to ensure that only members of designated groups were recruited into those colonial forces that facilitated the establishment of the Nigerian supra- national state. The end of colonial rule and shifts in military recruitment policies hardly erased the vestiges of colonial recruitment from the Nigerian military. The study on which this article is based and which examines Britain’s policies on military human resource recruitment as state-building initiatives, argued that military coups d’état in Nigeria can be traced back to colonial and post-colonial recruitment patterns for military human resources. Introduction Nigeria, built in the late nineteenth century by British colonial intervention, is Africa’s most populous country.2 Events in Nigeria3 since October 1, 1960, when it acquired political independence from Britain, furthermore attest to the political instability that the country experiences.

  • The Military and National Development in Nigeria: a Literary Perspective
    Research on Humanities and Social Sciences www.iiste.org ISSN (Paper)2224-5766 ISSN (Online)2225-0484 (Online) Vol.5, No.17, 2015 The Military and National Development in Nigeria: A Literary Perspective Elizabeth N. Enukora Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences,Nigerian Defence Academy, Kaduna,Nigeria, West Africa Abstract Critical attention has been drawn to the works written by the civil society who condemn the military particularly for their (mis) rule and military coups in Nigeria. However there are some fine military personnel who have not only fought the historic Nigerian Civil War to keep the country together, they have also distinguished themselves in writing that deserve some critical focus. These writers embrace Marxist literary approach to the study of literature which serves as a veritable tool in sustainable human development and nation building. Literature is invaluable to the growth and development of a nation. It sensitizes the populace to imbibe positive ethos and attacks vices that bring about underdevelopment. The values of democracy, patriotism, justice, development are some of the virtues which literature promote. Thus creative writing helps to direct the citizenry towards adopting a more robust and humanistic tendencies for nation building and motivates and sustains national development. The objective of this paper is to show the role of literature in nation building particularly in shaping the military and its functions and benefits which impact positively on humanity generally. To do this, this study will therefore examine the content and vision of Nigerian writers in order to sharpen and contextualize the subject of this discourse and buttress that creative writings such as is discussed in this study is relevant in national development.

  • The Policies and Politics of Massification of University Education in Nigeria, 1952-2000
    THE POLICIES AND POLITICS OF MASSIFICATION OF UNIVERSITY EDUCATION IN NIGERIA, 1952-2000 Ogechi Emmanuel Anyanwu A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2006 Committee: Apollos O. Nwauwa, Advisor Kefa M. Otiso Graduate Faculty Representative Robert Buffington Lillian Ervine Ashcraft-Eason © 2006 Ogechi Emmanuel Anyanwu All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Apollos O. Nwauwa, Advisor This study constitutes a history of the policies and politics surrounding the massification of university education in Nigeria between 1952 and 2000. The concept of massification as used in this study refers to a program of expansion of facilities and mass access to university education in post-independent Nigeria. In 1948, the British colonial administration in Nigeria established the first university, the University College of Ibadan (UCI). However, from 1948 through 1959, the British consistently ignored the growing demand for more access to university education. To address this problem, the Nigerian government set up the Ashby Commission to study the country’s higher education needs on the eve of independence. Following the report of the Commission, the Nigerian government realigned university education policies and vigorously embarked on policies of massification. This study shows that the policies and politics of massification were embarked upon largely in response to the critical needs for human resources, economic development, and national integration. Furthermore, it examines how the divergent and, sometimes, inconsistent interests of the pluralistic society of Nigeria, the politics of oil revenue and state creation, the ideologies of civilian/military governments and international forces shaped policy initiatives, shifts, and outcomes of massification.

  • The Nigerian Case 1985-1993
    Foreign and Defence Policies: The Nigerian Case 1985-1993 DELE JEMIRADE York University, Toronto, Canada [email protected] Abstract This article investigates the changes to and achievements of Nigeria’s foreign and defence policies from 1985 to 1993. It also examines the economic, political and sociocultural implications of these policies on the nation. The article argues that the foreign and defence policies of the Ibrahim Babangida Administration were successful even if other aspects of the administration were a failure. The article also addresses the interlocking relationship between defence and foreign policy execution and concludes with recommendations on how these can be managed to promote the effectiveness of Nigeria’s external relations. The article depended largely on archival materials from the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs, supported by scholarly journal articles, books and newspaper materials. Keywords: Nigeria, foreign policy, defence policy, diplomacy, security Introduction This article examines the foreign and defence policies of Nigeria from 1985 to 1993, when General Ibrahim Babangida was the Military Head of State of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It also examines the impact of the policies on the economic, political and sociocultural conditions on the country. A lot of research and studies have been done on the foreign policies of various Nigerian governments, including that of the Babangida administration, but few have shown the relationship of these foreign policies to the defence policy objectives of the government and the overriding effect on the nation. This research is a synthesis and reassessment of the foreign and defence policies of the regime.

  • Budgeting for the Military Sector in Africa: the Processes And
    8. Nigeria Wuyi Omitoogun and Tunde Oduntan I. Introduction and background In 1999, elections in Nigeria produced a civilian administration, raising new hopes after 15 years of military dictatorship. The new government announced programmes to reform the military, pursue economic recovery, fight corruption and mismanagement, and institutionalize democracy. Six years on, a critical citizenry is asking what real changes have taken place as violent inter-ethnic rivalries, a weak economy and a poor social base still pose profound challenges to national security. Added to these are Nigeria’s international responsibilities, regional image and territorial controversies. These factors have defined the con- cept of national security and the organization of state and national defence. This chapter examines the process of budgeting for the Nigerian Armed Forces against this background. This section continues with an overview of the country’s history, politics and economy while section II describes the Nigerian military sector. Section III discusses the formal national budgetary process and presents a critique of the process. The military budgetary process and its weak- nesses are examined in sections IV and V. Section VI presents the conclusions and recommendations. History, politics and economy The West African state of Nigeria was built up by the gradual, expansionist colonialism of the United Kingdom, starting with the colony of Lagos in 1861. By 1914 the various protectorates and colonies had merged to form a unified Nigeria, but administration remained largely decentralized. At independence in 1960 Nigeria inherited a federal structure that continues to exist today, albeit in greatly changed form. There are over 350 ethnic groups in Nigeria, the three largest of which represent about 71 per cent of the population.
