Nuga Games 2017: Benson Idahosa University Emerges Top Private University with 26 Medals BENSON IDAHOSA UNIVERSITY THE PIPELINEJUNE - JULY 2017 EDITION | ISSUE 22 Putting the grapevine out of business NUGA GAMES 2017: BENSON IDAHOSA UNIVERSITY EMERGES TOP PRIVATE UNIVERSITY WITH 26 MEDALS Benson Idahosa University recently emerged top private university at the 25th Nigerian University Games Association (NUGA) Games, which was held at the Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Benue. Benson Idahosa University was the only pri- vate university that participated at the NUGA Games with a total of 47 athletes, 8 coaches and 5 officials. Out of the 16 NUGA events, Team BIU participated in 7 events namely; Athletics, Badminton, Basketball, Chess, Swimming, Tennis and Volleyball. According to records by the NUGA secretariat in Makurdi, a total of 57 universities competed for medals at the sports fiesta and amidst stiff competition, Team BIU emerged second runner-up with 10 gold, 7 silver and 9 bronze medals. Benson Idahosa University proved its superiority by defeating 55 state and federal universities, which included, University of Lagos (UNILAG), Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), University of Nigeria (UNN), University of Benin (UNIBEN), University of Maiduguri (UNIMAID), University of Calabar (UNICAL), University of Jos (UNIJOS), and University of Ilorin. However, Benson Idahosa University won 8 gold, 5 silver and 6 bronze medals in swimming, while in tennis (male single and female single) they garnered 1 gold and 1 bronze medal respectively. Also, the students established their supremacy in bad- minton, by winning 2 bronze medals with an additional gold and silver in chess. Two of our athletes, Amukali Evans and Mohammed Lawal, won Most Valuable Player awards in swimming and tennis respec- tively. It will also be recalled that in 2011, Benson Idahosa University emerged second runner- up in the West Africa University Games held at the University of Ilorin, Kwara State Nigeria. Expressing her gratitude to the University Management, the Director of Sports who led and supervised the team from Benson Idahosa University, Mrs. Eunice Adebayo-James, attributed her team’s brilliant performance to God, and to the athletes’ gross discipline. “We came this far because my players performed according to the laid down instructions given to them, hence, God crowned our efforts. I want to appreciate the University Management for their unrelenting encouragement to sports and on behalf of the Sports Unit, we promise to continually strive to achieve greater feats in future competitions,” she said. The Most Valuable Player (MVP) in swimming, Amukali Evans, said the team prepared adequately for the competition. “I feel very excited and great. We trained very hard and our Director of Sports took very good care of us,” he said. He explained that they passed through a lot of difficulties before and during the competitions. “However, that notwithstand- ing, we are all happy with the turnout of events,” he added. Meanwhile, the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT), garnered 70 gold, 47 silver and 33 bronze medals to win the 25th NUGA Games. Ahmadu Bello University (ABU), came second with 11 gold, 2 silver and 3 bronze medals. 1 MANAGEMENT SPEAKS Benson Idahosa University to Confer Honorary Award on Olu of Warri he 20th Olu of Warri, HRM, Ogiame Ikenwoli I, is one of the emi- nent Nigerians to receive a Benson Idahosa University (BIU) hon- orary doctorate degree in the forthcoming university convoca- Ttion ceremony, set to hold on the 8th of July, 2017.

The University of Ibadan came to being after Yaba College of Technology (YA- BATECH) was established as the first tertiary institution. In the wake of the birth of Third Republic in 1999, the dereg- ulation of the economy saw the emergence of private univer- sities. The financial crisis facing states of the federation en- couraged the establishment of the private universities, which are increasing till date. It should be observed that the quest to give more choices to the ever-increasing number of admission seekers necessi- tated the establishment of private universities. Since then, there have been about 60 approved private universities in the country.

  • Civil-Military Relations in Nigeria and Tanzania: a Comparative, Historical Analysis
    Civil-Military Relations in Nigeria and Tanzania: A comparative, historical analysis Ragnhild Hoel Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (International Studies) at the Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Prof. P.J. McGowan December 2008 Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the owner of the copyright thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in the part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Date: 6 November 2008 Copyright © 2008 Stellenbosch University II Abstract Civil-military relations play an important role in Africa as these relations strongly influence the processes of development and democratisation. This thesis examines civil-military relations in Nigeria and Tanzania, as these two countries have experienced very different ‘patterns of influence, control, and subordination between the armed forces and the wider social environment’. Most theories of civil-military relations have been formulated by Western scholars and this study investigates if these theories are applicable to Nigeria and Tanzania. As only two cases are under focus, this thesis does not aim to dismiss any of the theories or to develop new theory; rather, I suggest new aspects and factors that should be included when studying African civil-military relations. The theoretical framework includes theories by Huntington, Finer, and Janowitz, as well as theories by more recent scholars. After presenting the history of civil- military relations in Nigeria and Tanzania, I analyse the theories’ validity in the two cases by evaluating five hypotheses based on these theoretical frameworks.

    CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background to the Study The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) was established in 1930 as one of the institutions used in consolidating colonial rule through repressive tactics in maintenance of law and order (Jemibewon, 2001, Odinkalu, 2005,35: Okoigun, 2000, 2-3; Onyeozili, 2005, Rotimi, 2001:1; Tamuno, 1970). Commenting on the origin of the NPF, Nwolise, (2004: 73-74) notes that “the colonial masters deliberately recruited people one could call street and under-bridge men (area boys in today’s parlance) to establish the early Police Force…the police recruits were not properly trained…and where police officers were then trained with emphasis on human rights, the supremacy of the law and welfare of the community, the seeds of revolt may be sown which would grow within the police and extend to the wider society”. Nwolise particularly noted that there were disparities in Ireland, where Nigerian recruits were trained in military institutions to employ high-handed tactics on the people while their Irish counterparts were trained in a Police Academy to be civil and polite in their engagement with the people. As noted by Olurode (2010: 3) “the succeeding post-colonial state and its leading actors could not have been better schooled in the art of perdition, intrigues and abuse of state power…as they had experienced all possible lessons in subversion and derogation of people’s power”, expressed mainly through the infliction of repressive measures by security forces. Since independence, the NPF has struggled to institute reforms, which seem not to have led to a fundamental change in the strategic objectives, tactics and strategies of law enforcement (Alemika: 2013; Chukwuma, 2006).

  • Role of the Military in Democratic Transitions and Succession in Nigeria
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SOCIAL SCIENCES AND HUMANITY STUDIES Vol 8, No 1, 2016 ISSN: 1309-8063 (Online) ROLE OF THE MILITARY IN DEMOCRATIC TRANSITIONS AND SUCCESSION IN NIGERIA E. E. Obioha Walter Sisulu University, South Africa. Email: [email protected]; [email protected] ─Abstract ─ This paper examined the military as an institution and its role in democratic succession in Nigeria. The paper articulated on how various republics in Nigeria failed and what role the military played during these periods. The study relied mainly on secondary data sources, which includes periodicals and other archival documents that provided the required information for the discourse. Data gathered were analyzed through content analysis. Critical and logical analysis of data attested that the military had played the role of distractive force in Nigeria’s democratization process. The military institution presented itself and acted in most occasions as a false custodian of democratic principles by initiating and implementing flawed elections for transition. However, emerging facts further suggest that these democratic principles and arrangements put in place by the military were usually faulty and inadequate for sustainable democratic governance to thrive on. Most general elections organized by the military to transit power have been descriptive of milidemocray, where previous military officers acquire democratic power through stage managed processes. The military institution therefore has functioned as a partisan organisation where various acts of election packaging were learnt and electioneering overtures acquired, despite its instrumental role in sustaining democracy in the country. This paper therefore concludes that the military has been more of a distractive than consolidation force of democratic transitions, and free and fair elections in Nigeria democracy, since her independence.

    Nigeria and the Politics of Unreason Page 1 of 27 Nigeria and the Politics of Unreason: Political Assassinations, Decampments, Moneybags, and Public Protests By Victor E. Dike Introduction The problems facing Nigeria emanate from many fronts, which include irrational behavior (actions) of the political elite, politics of division, and politics devoid of political ideology. Others factors are corruption and poverty, lack of distributive justice, regional, and religious cleavages. All these combine to create crises (riots and conflicts) in the polity, culminating in public desperation and insecurity, politics of assassinations, decampments (carpet crossing), moneybags, and public protests. All this reached its climax during the 2003 elections. When the nation thinks it is shifting away from these forces, they would somersault and clash again creating another political thunderstorm. It looks that the society would hardly outgrow ‘the politics of unreason’ (Lipset and Raab, 1970), which is often politics of extremism, because the political class is always going beyond the limits of what are reasonable to secure or retain political power. During the 2003 elections moneybags (instead of political ideology) directed political actions in political parties; and it also influenced the activities of many politicians. As a result, the presidential candidates of the two major political parties (PDP and ANPP) cliched their party tickets by stuffing the car boots, so to say, of their party delegates with Ghana-Must- Go bags. This frustrated and intimidated their political opponents within (and those in the other minor political parties). Since after his defeat by Chief Olusegun Obasanjo in the 2003 PDP primary in Abuja, Dr.
