The first phase was characterized by primitive accumulation which was followed by the era of political or imperial revolution characterized by the rise and fall of empires, kingdoms, chiefdoms and state systems. This phase was characterized by mutual hostilities associated with wars of conquest for expansionist purposes, with attendant anarchy and subjugation of some groups to tribute paying status. The second phase was dominated by European exploratory activities on the shores of Africa and associated with unintelligible stories of discoveries of territories and phenomena that had existed in Africa from time immemorial. One major feature of this era was the signing of treaties with African leaders for the benefit of European powers. The phenomenon was not free from hostilities between the European explorers (agents) and patriotic African leaders due to their strong suspicion about the hidden agenda for the treaties. It is not contestable that it was this exercise which paved smooth way for the next phase of African history, which was European mercantilism, imperialism and eventual colonialist activities in Africa. The 19th century ushered in the third phase in African history which was dominated by European colonialist activities in Africa. The era was, no doubt, a violent phase during which African territories were forcefully and violently overpowered by the European colonial powers, prominent among which were Britain, France, Germany and Portugal. For more than a century, Africa became the source of raw materials and markets for the sustenance of industrial revolution in Europe. There is even no gain repeating the fact that this phase was equally characterized by very disturbing variables. The wake of the 20th century ushered in the fourth phase in African history, which was the era of nationalism across Africa. Within this period, the echoes of violent and peaceful nationalist activities filled up the continent, and in the process, colonialism was overwhelmed. Very worrisomely, not long after the overthrow of colonialism that it became eminent that another disturbing phase was emerging in our continental history. The transfer of leadership baton from the colonialists to African leaders soon ushered in the fifth phase, which was interplay of misrule, lack of focus and anarchy. These unfortunate developments ushered in yet another disturbing phase, which was the era of military coups. The emergence of military rule in Africa enthroned dictatorial leadership with attendant gross abuse of fundamental human rights, anarchy and misrule across Africa. The collective cry and efforts by well-meaning Africans, and supported by international organizations like the United Nations Organisation (UNO) and powerful nations resulted in the proscription of military leadership. The strong campaign resulted in the vicious circle of the return to democratic dispensation, which ushered in the current phase. Unfortunately, not soon after the institutionalization of the current vicious phase, an ill- wind blew in with its very disturbing variables. Under the watch of this current phase, nobody needs any mental energy to know that the phase is overwhelmed by unimaginably very shameless vices such as corruption and unprecedented electoral irregularities. It is no doubt

  • Ethnicity and Citizenship in Urban Nigeria: the Jos Case, 1960-2000
    ETHNICITY AND CITIZENSHIP IN URBAN NIGERIA: THE JOS CASE, 1960-2000 BY SAMUEL GABRIEL EGWU B.Sc.; M.Sc. Political Science UJ/PGSS/12730/01 A thesis in the Department of POLITICAL SCIENCE, Faculty of Social Sciences Submitted to the School of Post-Graduate Studies, University of Jos, in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the award of the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILSOPHY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF JOS APRIL, 2004 DECLARATION I hereby declare that this thesis is the product of my own research and has been written by me. It has not been presented for a higher degree in any University. All quotations have been acknowledged and distinguished by endnotes and quotations. SAMUEL GABRIEL EGWU CERTIFICATION ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS It is usual that in accomplishing a task of this nature, one is indebted to a number of individuals whose valuable contributions in one way or the other made it possible. In this situation such individuals are so numerous that all the names cannot be mentioned. First and foremost, I would like to express my immense debt of gratitude to Professor Warisu. O. Alli, my supervisor who promptly filled the vacuum created by the exit of Professor Aaron T. Gana. Professor Alli took more than a personal interest in getting me to work, reading the manuscripts and offering very useful and productive suggestions. More than this, he continued to drum into my ears the increasing relevance of the citizenship question in the contemporary political economy of Nigeria in general and Jos in particular, as justification for completing the investigation. To him, I remain eternally grateful indeed.

  • Political Parties and Threats of Democratic Reversal in Nigeria
    VOLUME 6 NO 2 95 BUILDING DEMOCRACY WITHOUT DEMOCRATS? Political Parties and Threats of Democratic Reversal in Nigeria Said Adejumobi & Michael Kehinde Dr Said Adejumobi is Chief, Public Administration Section, and Coordinator, Africa Governance Report, United Nations Economic Commission for Africa Governance and Public Administration Division, UNECA, PO Box 3005, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia Tel: +251 912200066 e-mail: [email protected] Michael Kehinde is a lecturer in the Department of Political Science, Lagos State University PM B 1087, Apapa, Lagos, Nigeria Tel: +234 802 5408439 ABSTRACT Political parties are not only a major agency for the recruitment and enthronement of political leaders in an electoral democracy they are the foundation and a building block of the process of democratic evolution and consolidation. However, the nature and character of the dominant political parties in Nigeria threaten the country’s nascent democratic project. They lack clear ideological orientation, do not articulate alternative worldviews, rarely mobilise the citizenry, and basically adopt anti-democratic methods to confront and resolve democratic issues. Intra- and inter-party electoral competition is fraught with intense violence, acrimony and warfare. Put differently, these parties display all the tendencies and conduct of authoritarianism. The result is that what exists in Nigeria is ‘democratism’, the form and not the substance of an evolving democracy. INTRODUCTION The mass conversion of politicians and political thinkers to the cause of democracy has been one of the most dramatic, and significant, events in 95 96 JOURNAL OF AFRICAN ELECTIONS political history. Even in Ancient Greece, often thought of as the democratic ideal, democracy tended to be viewed in negative terms.

  • A Case Study on the Causes of Ethnic Conflict Within Nigeria
    A CASE STUDY ON THE CAUSES OF ETHNIC CONFLICT WITHIN NIGERIA. BY OGOCHUKWU MICHAEL OSAKWE AN INDEPENDENT STUDY SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN PEACE STUDIES AND DIPLOMACY, SIAM UNIVERSITY, BANGKOK, THAILAND 2017 ABSTRACT Ethnic conflict in Nigeria has led to the lack of peace and harmony. Nigeria is a complex country in Africa with over 300 ethnic groups and 120 different languages spoken throughout the country. The issue of discrimination, based on “We” and “Them.” negatively affect the socio-economic and political development of Nigeria. Since the day of independence, there has been the struggle for superiority and recognition among the various ethnic groups that led to the Nigerian civil war from 1967-70. Colonization, the struggle for position and power, resource control, social class status and land dispute has been the causes of ethnic conflicts within Nigeria. The objectives of this study are to explain the root causes of ethnic conflicts that lead to ethno–religious conflicts in Nigeria and to evaluate the magnitude of human and material resources destroyed as a result of such conflicts. A historical research method was employed for gathering secondary data from sources such as books, newspapers, magazines, dictionaries, journals, government publications and online information. The result revealed that the six geo-political zones of Nigeria namely; North West, North East, North Central, South West, South-South and South East zones have all witnessed all kinds of ethnic conflicts resulted from the same set of causes. Based on the findings, it was recommended that Nigeria should stop the practice of federalism and embrace confederation, which will give the country and its people autonomy to rule and manage their resources.

  • 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.
