On a personal note, I wish to acknowledge and appreciate the courage he evinced forty-three years ago by deeming it fit to give a young graduate of law from the Kiev State University the honour and privilege of joining the ranks of arguably Nigeria‟s pre-eminent Law Faculty as a teacher and researcher. I should not forget to acknowledge the fact that it was through his good offices that I was admitted to the Harvard Law School in 1974 and, through his international connections and goodwill, I was able to secure funding for my sustenance throughout my sojourn in that citadel of learning. It was Professor Kasunmu‟s insightful intervention in my life that enabled me to embark on a most challenging and pioneering career that led me to where I am today. Prof, words fail me to salute you for the faith and confidence you had in me which, I believe, I have today been able to more than justify. * Sixth Professor Alfred Bamidele Kasunmu Annual Lecture, delivered on September 15, 2016 at the Main Auditorium, University of Lagos. ** Professor of International Law and Jurisprudence, University of Lagos. 1 (2017) Unilag Law Review 1(2) When Prof Kasunmu first got in touch with me with a request to deliver this year‟s lecture, I was still in hospital, recovering from surgery and was, therefore, not sure I could oblige. Besides, I was given a broad canvas as to the topic which further complicated things for me. In the event, I settled for today‟s topic in the hope that such a recondite theme would facilitate exploration of novel insights and nuances of law. This is especially so in contemporary times when the poignancy and relevance of law are being called into question almost on a daily basis. However, we might, perhaps, begin with the basics. 2.0 THE CONCEPT OF LAW As ubiquitous and critical as the law is in the scheme of things, it is somewhat paradoxical that there does not exist a universally acceptable definition of law. Answers to the simple question, “what is law?” are as varied as jurists who have striven to address the issue. Definitions of law are apt to be coloured by the ideological or value preferences of whoever is attempting to define it. Little wonder, therefore, that Professor Hart‟s highly acclaimed book on law1 does not contain a definition of law. Instead, it only set out to describe the functioning of law, leaving the reader to visualize the nature of law. The divide between naturalists and positivists permeates every discussion on the nature and role of law, be it that of perception or the relevance and functioning of law. Accordingly, the attitudinal chemistry of a scholar would need to be factored into the evaluation of his approach towards the vexed issue of law and its role in society. The Russian saying that two lawyers, three opinions, rings true regarding the multiplicity of views and attitudes of jurists on the vexed question of the meaning of law. 1 Concept of Law, Oxford, (1961), passim. 2 (2017) Unilag Law Review 1(2) Whereas the trilogy of sovereign, command and sanction which constitutes the apotheosis of Austinian positivism2 can hardly be faulted despite its limitations

  • Boko Haram, Terrorism and Failing State Capacity in Nigeria: an Interrogation
    BOKO HARAM, TERRORISM AND FAILING STATE CAPACITY IN NIGERIA: AN INTERROGATION DR. VICTOR EGWEMI KEY TERMS: Nigeria, Boko Haram, terrorism ABSTRACT: This paper is an interrogation of the activities of the Boko Haram sect especially since the killing of it leader Mohammed Yusuf under very controversial circumstances in 2009. It examines how the activities of Boko Haram have threatened the security and well-being of Nigerians and how it seems to have in turn undermined the Nigerian government’s ability to justify the reason for its existence, namely, to ensure the security and welfare of her citizens. Boko Haram has with seeming ease unleashed an orgy of violence characterized by bombing and killing Nigerians, especially in the north. This paper argues that sects like Boko Haram are a reaction to perceived and real injustices perpetrated by the state and its agencies. This paper is also of the opinion that the activities of Boko Haram have stretched Nigeria’s delicate socio-political and ethno-religious divides to the limit. The paper makes the point that a political solution, a well-meaning engagement between the government and the Boko Haram sect, is a more probable solution than the current attempt to engage the sect militarily. A political solution is not to be seen as a sign of weakness on the part of government but is, on the contrary, a sign of responsibility. The need to explore such a solution in the face of the crisis cannot be overemphasized. As a corollary, the government needs to tackle the crisis of infrastructure in the country.
