    Calling Allison Ayida Page 1 of 5 Calling Allison Ayida By Ike Okonta I am writing to you on the matter of the intrepid women of Ugboegungun, a small community in Itsekiri land where the US multinational, ChevronTexaco, operates a multi-billion dollar oil terminal. In the book, Where Vultures Feast, co-authored with Oronto Douglas and published in 2001, I accused ChevronTexaco and Shell of devastating the ecology of the Niger delta, exploiting the local communities, and sponsoring acts of terrorism, mass murder, and the rape of young women to cow the people the easier to steal their oil unchallenged. Oronto and I called on eminent and well-meaning community leaders, politicians, environmentalists and statesmen like your good self to intervene in this matter, and begin to work to reshape the Nigerian state and generate a bold new social and economic framework that will not only address the pressing needs of communities such as Ugboegungun but also put an end, now and for all time, the sundry depravities of Chevron, Shell, and their fellow travellers. Some would argue that you have done your bit for Nigeria and for your people, that you gave the most productive years of your life to the Nigerian project at the most critical point in the nation's history, that you acquitted yourself honourably, and that you deserve your retirement. I agree to all these. But I also insist that the time has come for you to come out of retirement and offer moral and intellectual leadership to a country about to hit the rocks.

Contributions within the academic circles, family link and notable individuals/personages deserve due acknowledgement. This is because a man who beats up his doctor after he has been cured is incapable of being grateful. Nature‘s cruelty, to candour, is more bearable than man‘s ingratitude to man. Words are undoubtedly inadequate to quantify the roles of my supervisors, Dr. Kolawole David Aiyedun and Professor Samuel Ovuete Aghalino, to whom special accolades are exclusively reserved. In spite of their busy schedules as Head of Department, Senior Professor and in many other capacities, they never denied me the benefits of their supervisory acumen.

Nigeria cannot pay salaries; the Federal Government itself has to summon the Governor of Central Bank on how it could pay salaries, not to talk of projects, agreements we signed with “ other countries on counterpart funding and so on. President Buhari addressing journalists in India (28 October, 2015) Opening Note In the 1980s, Crude oil prices fell significantly, placing a massive strain on Nigeria’s fiscal position, with budget deficits spiralling out of proportion. State governments struggled to meet obligations, ranging from civil servants’ salaries, contractors’ remuneration, to debts repayments as due. The military coup which followed cited these developments as a contributory factor and on 31 December 1983, Major- General Muhammadu Buhari was announced as leader of the new military government. Today, history seems to be repeating itself. Crude prices have mainly nose-dived, staying low; Nigeria’s fiscal prospects are unanimously agreed as in need of circumspect observation and States have had to receive bailouts from the Federal Government to enable them meet the basest obligations.

  • Party Primaries, Candidate Selection and Intra-Party Conflict in Nigeria: PDP in Perspective
    Covenant University Journal of Politics & Internationall Affairs. Vol. 5, No.1, June, 2017 An Open Access Journal - Available Online Party Primaries, Candidate Selection and Intra-Party Conflict in Nigeria: PDP in Perspective Muinat Adetayo Adekeye Kwara State University, Malete [email protected] Abstract: This paper underscores the interplay among party primaries, candidate selection and intra-party conflicts in the People‟s Democratic Party (PDP). It employs the theoretical explanations of the Group Conflict Theory which posits that conflicts within groups are borne out of incompatible interests catalyzed by selfish nature of individuals. Findings from the qualitative analysis signifies that while institutional structures have been enacted to avert conflicts within the party, non-adherence to the dictates of such structures have birthed a wide range of internal conflicts within the party, thus resulting to cases of defection, factionalization, proliferation of political parties, unconstitutional change of party leaders and most importantly, the defeat of the party in 2015 general elections. It was recommended that effective restructuring of internal laws and polices within PDP, establishment of punitive measure and the practice of transparency by the INEC would ensure good governance in Nigeria.
