  • Tourism Readiness, Investment Promotion, Economic Growth and Development in South East Nigeria: an Expose and Proposal
    Tourism Readiness, Investment Promotion, Economic Growth and Development in South East Nigeria: An Expose and Proposal By Chukwuemeka U. Okoye Department of Agricultural Economic University of Nigeria, Nsukka Introduction Up until 1966, the economy of then Eastern Nigeria was one of the fastest growing in the world, finding peers among Malaysia, Indonesia and Brazil, etc. By then, Eastern Nigeria dominated both commerce and the Federal bureaucracy in Nigeria. Today, South East Nigeria is a much smaller enclave, encompassing a geographical space made up of five states (Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Abia and Ebonyi) and exclusively inhabited by the Igbo, relative to the former Eastern Nigeria, which included the Efik, Ibibio, and Ijaw of Cross River, Rivers, and Bayelsa states. Economic growth in the South East has contracted to the extent that it is now attributed with the least aggregate Gross State Product in Nigeria (of N754.40bn). Again, ranking of Nigerian states by ease of doing business has seen the South East States at the bottom of the ladder. The concerns about lack of investments, which largely inform the regular expression of concern by individuals, group and institutions in the zone (Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo, South East Economic Summit Group, and South East Nigeria Economic Commission) include the poor state of employment, low industrial development, insecurity, dearth of critical infrastructure among others. Reasons for this are economic, social, political and otherwise, but it does appear, as indeed many may know, that we should look more closely at what made Eastern Nigeria, particularly the Igbo Nation of the present South East Zone so vibrant before 1966, and what happened to it during and after the Civil War of 1966-1970.

It is necessary to maintain rule of law and stability in the society. The purpose of this research paper is to scrutinize the problem of illiteracy, destitution, and economic and lack of awareness among the disadvantaged groups and whether the legal aid services are properly delivering to the needy or not. The prime concern is internal obstacles like lack of understanding law, inability to deal with cases, corruption etc. It is necessary that government must take steps to ensure legal aid services to poorer sections are implemented and encourage advocates to serve poor. Legal Aid is not charity it is the duty of state and right of citizens, hence it should be such that it ensures the Constitutional pledge of equal justice to poorer and weaker section of society.

  • 126 the Travails of the Igbo Ethnic Group in Nigeria
    126 THE TRAVAILS OF THE IGBO ETHNIC GROUP IN NIGERIA AND THE INDISPENSABILITY OF THE TRADITIONAL SOCIO-CULTURAL PRACTICES IN THE RESTORATION OF THE MUCH-NEEDED UNITY Chidi Mike Amaechi Department of History and International Studies, University of Nigeria, Nsukka Enugu State, Nigeria. Abstract The Igbo ethnic group in Nigeria has been groaning under the colossal weight of injustice, criminal neglect and institutional marginalization especially since the end of the Nigerian Civil War. This is more apparent in the composition of the military, political appointments, provision of social amenities and infrastructure, and choice of official policies. The psychological effect is even more traumatizing and debilitating. In a state of confusion, despair, and hopelessness, the average Igbo person is politically disoriented and manipulated and the age-long flaunted culture of ‘unity of purpose’ has been abandoned together with the traditional socio-cultural practices that anchored the people’s high moral standards and unsullied sense of dignity. Moreover, at the detriment of Igbo group interest, the political elite now revel in selfish individualism as a result of inferiority complex and have not been able to, early enough, analyze situations and take a firm stand on issues, as each situation demands. In support of the view that the marginalization of the Igbo stems largely from internal disunity, and in addition to other views on the solution to this problem of Igbo disunity, it is the position of this paper that the revival of those traditional socio-political cum cultural institutions and values which sustained the bonds of Igbo unity in the face of the seemingly acephalous and segmented nature of the people, would go a long way in restoring this much-needed unity.

  • Ligue 1 Guide 2021/22
    2021/2022 Ligue 1 Preview Guide INTRODUCTION After a historically close title race that saw four teams in the running Ligue 1 is back with no small amount of fanfare following a busy summer. Of those four sides, while Lille and Lyon have been relatively quiet as they try to consolidate under new managers, Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain have been eager participants in the mercato, buying well in a way that addresses the two sides’ needs. Nice and Rennes have also done some canny business in the offseason, to say nothing of Marseille’s flood of arrivals, but the discussions about pro- spective title favorites in France have to start and end with the capital side. Even as rumors swirl around the potential departure of Kylian Mbappé, it’s hard to argue that Paris Saint-Ger- main haven’t done their utmost to convince their young star to stay. At least, that is, if one judges by their transfer activity. The arrivals of Sergio Ramos, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Georginio Wijnaldum, and Achraf Hakimi have bolstered Mauricio Pochettino’s side in key areas whilst also adding another layer of dynamism. If he can keep his squad happy and balanced, this team looks as potent as any in Europe, Elsewhere, Monaco are probably best-equipped to challenge, even as they will have to contend with playing European football. The arrivals of Myron Boadu, Alexander Nübel and Ismail Jakobs look to be upgrades, and so long as Niko Kovac’s exciting, front-foot football remains in place and so do all of its key elements.
