These forced me ta revise certain aspects of the work in such a remarkable manner that improvedIA -its LIBRARY quality. I am equally indebted intellectually taR Dr. Abiodun Adediran who was my superviser. His criticismS of the work at its drafting stage has been quite fertile and constructive. For many years to came, his image as a humble and highly informed scholar will remain indellible inCODE my memory.

To the Council for the Development of social and Economie Research in Africa (CODESRIA) Dakar which selected me as a reéipient of its 1993 Small Grants for Thesis Writing ·, I am highly indebted.

I must particularly thank the Executive Secretary of the Council, Dr. Thandika Mkandawire for involving me in some pas and on-going research programmes of CODESRIA, I must also thank members of the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters, Helsinki for the opportunity given to attend the Second Summer School of the Finnish Folklore Fellows at University of Turku, Finland. I am most particularly grateful to Professors Lauri Honko and Anna Leena Siikala for the invitation extended to me to become an Associate Member of the Folklore Fellows (FF) • All these facilitated my exposure to other scholars and challenged me to greater heights in this dissertation. I am equally grateful to the Institut Francais de RechercheIA - LIBRARYen Afrique (IFRA) Ibadan for funding an aspect of my fieldworkR in Kano. Toits past Director Prof. Bernard Carron andS the present, Prof. Georges Herault, I say big thanks. The administrative Secretary of the IFRA Mrs. De campos and Ms. O.A.

Their names are contained in my bibliography. I however still· have to acknowledge the special contribution of some of them. These include Alhaji Ahmadu zungeru, the incumbent Sarkin Hausawa of Ibadan. He was very helpful and friendly throughout the period of my fieldwork at Sabo. His most outstanding contribution to the research is his summoning of Sabo's Ubangari (Community elders) meeting on the 2nd December, 1992. This facilitated the interviewing of almost all the eminent old men in the settlement. I also have to thank Alhaji Ahmadu Bature the Sarkin Hausawa of Ibadan between 1944 and 1948. When the initial problems were faced at collecting the necessary data from Sabo, Ibadan he and Alhaji Hassan Isiaka omo-Oba were helpful at explaning my missionIA to - theirLIBRARY colleagues. Alhaji Shaibu Dikko, the late SarkinR Hausawa Ibadan who peacefully passed away on 13th Jan. S1992 was another source of inspiration. He granted me series of interviews during his lifetime. May his soul rest in peace. In Kano, I have to thank Alhaja RabiatuCODE Magajia, the Sarkin Mata at the Sabon Gari. She pushed aside some of her social and economic engagements to be able to attend tome during the fieldwork in Kano. Chief Benneth Achebe Anyanetu, the General Secretary of the Ibo Community Kano was also very helpful. I am equally grateful to (vi) Alhaji Salisu Olowo the Sarkin Yorubawa of Kano and his executive members for the little information about the activities of the Yoruba community in Kano that was given to me. My other informants like Messrs Henry Okeke, Raji and Hassan Salami, and Alhaji G.A. Salawu were very helpfuL I thank them all. The smooth collection of my data at the National Archives in Ibadan and Kaduna was facilitated by the Director of the former, Mr. J.B. Daramola. At the completion of the work in Ibadan he gave me a letter of introdution ta his colleagues in Kaduna who showered me with all imaginable heights of co­ operation. Mr Michael Adesina is the most outstanding among those that assisted me at the Kaduna Archives. At the Kashim Ibrahim Library of the ABU Zaria, I was lucky' to have met Mr Richard Jimin Agena who assistedA me - toLIBRARY fish out all my needed publications. I am grateful taI him. Some of the days I spent at Kaduna were with Mr. TunjiR Adeniyi. I am highly indebted ta him and his wife for theirS generous support. I am grateful to all my friends in the Coterie Club of Nigeria for their · assistance and support. cot. Bayo Oyelade was particularly helpful with hisCODE technical advice on town planning just as Cots Ayo Aluko and Tunde 'Labiyi were constantly monitoring my progress on the dissertation at its drafting stage.

The paper interrogates their metamorphosis and masquerading character as ploy to delay the people-oriented revolution. The just- concluded PDP party primaries and secondary elections are evidence that demands a verdict. By way of qualitative analysis of relevant secondary sources, predicated on the Marxian political approach, the paper posits that the capitalist palliatives to block the Nigerian people from freeing themselves from the shackles of poverty will soon be a Copyright ©IAARR 2015: www.afrrevjo.net Indexed African Journals Online: www.ajol.info IJAH VOL 4 (3) SEPTEMBER, 2015 56 thing of the past. It is our argument that this situation left unchecked would create problem for Nigeria’s nascent democracy which is not allowed to go through normal party polity and electoral process. The argument of this paper is that the on-going recycling of the Nigerian military class into a bourgeois class as messiahs has a huge possibility for revolution.

Comfort Davis Independent researcher Ayodele Jegede University of Ibadan Robert Leurs International Development Department, University of Birmingham Adegbenga Sunmola University of Ibadan Ukoha Ukiwo Department of Political and Administrative Studies, University of Port Harcourt Working Paper 56 - 2011 Religions and Development Research Programme The Religions and Development Research Programme Consortium is an international research partnership that is exploring the relationships between several major world religions, development in low-income countries and poverty reduction. The programme is comprised of a series of comparative research projects that are addressing the following questions: How do religious values and beliefs drive the actions and interactions of individuals and faith-based organisations? How do religious values and beliefs and religious organisations influence the relationships between states and societies? In what ways do faith communities interact with development actors and what are the outcomes with respect to the achievement of development goals? The research aims to provide knowledge and tools to enable dialogue between development partners and contribute to the achievement of development goals. We believe that our role as researchers is not to make judgements about the truth or desirability of particular values or beliefs, nor is it to urge a greater or lesser role for religion in achieving development objectives. Instead, our aim is to produce systematic and reliable knowledge and better understanding of the social world. The research focuses on four countries (India, Pakistan, Nigeria and Tanzania), enabling the research team to study most of the major world religions: Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, Buddhism and African traditional belief systems.

  • Nigeria's Fourth Republic (1999-2015) and Electoral Outcomes
    162 JOURNAL OF AFRICAN ELECTIONS NIGERIA’S FOURTH REPUBLIC (1999-2015) AND ELECTORAL OUTCOMES: How long can Patronage or ‘Politics of the Belly’ Last? Dhikru Adewale Yagboyaju, PhD Dhikru Adewale Yagboyaju is a senior lecturer in the Department of Political Science at the University of Ibadan, Nigeria email: [email protected] ABSTRACT The relationship between elections and the vitality of a democratic society is clear. Elections have proven to be the best means of strengthening the mandate of a performing administration or removing a non-performing one. This paper argues, however, that the outcomes of several elections in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic have proved contrary to the common trend in most advanced democratic systems, in which electoral outcomes are based on performance. While in some cases, especially in political party primaries, candidates with little or no democratic credentials have emerged during general elections, in other instances administrations with relatively high records of infrastructural development have been voted out. This study traces the most probable causes of this paradox to Nigeria’s money politics and a possible misinterpretation of the concept of development. It is essentially a literature-based study, descriptive but also analytical. The paper concludes that the country will have to contend with the politics of underdevelopment for as long as immediate and pecuniary benefits constitute the expectation of the generality of followers. Keywords: electoral outcomes, patronage politics, stomach infrastructure, development, Nigeria. 162 VOLUME 14 NO 2 163 INTRODUCTION Elections are among the most ubiquitous phenomena in many parts of the contemporary world, particularly in political systems that have embraced competitive politics.
