  • OPEN LETTER to PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI, GCFR by Chief (Dr.) E
    OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT MUHAMMADU BUHARI, GCFR By Chief (Dr.) E. K. Clark, OFR, CON Mr. President, LET US CALL A SPADE, A SPADE! Let me, begin by, expressing earnest gratitude and appreciation to Mr. President, for congratulating me, both on my 92nd and 93rd Birthday anniversaries. I deeply cherish the thoughtful gesture, and the kind remarks. As Mr. President, rightly stated in the two congratulatory messages, I have rendered over 70 years of my life to the service of this country, starting from the age of 19. And it pleased the Almighty God to keep me up to this age, and in sound health. Accordingly, as long as, I live, I will continue to work for the good of this country, in any way, I find it possible. It is in that light, and in view of recent worrisome developments, that I am writing this letter to Mr. President on Democracy Day. The message herein, is a message of truth; encapsulating my thoughts, as well as, the feelings, dissentions, and remonstrations, of the people of the South South Geopolitical Zone, that I have been continuously inundated with. I have to state it, unequivocally, the way it is, for the sake of posterity, and in the interest of peace, unity, and progress of our dear country, Nigeria. And the truth, Mr. President, is that the South South Geopolitical Zone have not been treated fairly, by your administration, despite our contribution to the economy of the country. Let us call a spade, a spade! For reasons unknown to me, we have continued to witness discriminative, and unjust actions, against people of South South Extraction, under presidency, in the last five years.

  • Implications of the Release of Chibok Girls on Nigeria's War on Terrorism
    Covenant University Journal of Politics & Internationall Affairs. Vol. 5, No.1, June, 2017 An Open Access Journal - Available Online Implications of the Release of Chibok Girls on Nigeria’s War on Terrorism Olanrewaju Faith Osasumwen1; Olanrewaju Adekunle2, Loromeke Ejiroghene Roland3 & Joshua Segun4 1,2,3,4Department of Political Science and International Relations, Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria [email protected]; [email protected] [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: The year 2013 marked the emergence of the use of women and girls as hostages by the most dreaded Boko Haram terrorist group in Nigeria. The successful abduction of about 300 girls from the Government Girls Secondary School, Chibok-Borno State, Nigeria, in the dead of the night boosted the effrontery of the sect to undertake more abduction of hundreds of girls and women even in broad day light in North-Eastern Nigeria. The abduction of the Chibok girls generated both national and international concerns and raised the recognition of the group‟s ruthlessness against women. Various attempts to rescue the Chibok girls by the Nigerian government, humanitarian agencies and the international community failed. Using qualitative descriptive analysis, the paper avows that the controversial release of 21 Chibok girls without battle conditions or reports leaves a lot to speculation. This event represents a symbolism of Boko Haram‟s ability to hold the Nigerian government to ransom at its own terms. It submits that the gradual release of the girls and the sect‟s proposal for the negotiation of 83 more girls raises questions on the terms of the negotiations leading to the release as well as queries the strength of Nigeria‟s anti-terrorism war.

    Women’s Education and Development in Nigeria: A Content Analysis of Nussbaum’s Capability Approach Applied to Women’s Empowerment (2010-2017) by Taiwo Eritobor A Thesis Submitted to Saint Mary's University, Halifax, Nova Scotia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in International Development Studies July, 2017, Halifax, Nova Scotia Copyright © Taiwo Eritobor, 2017 Approved: Dr. Anupam Pandey Supervisor Approved: Dr. Henry Veltmeyer Reader Approved: Dr. Najma Sharif External Date: July 29th, 2017 Abstract Women’s Education and Development in Nigeria: A Content Analysis of Nussbaum’s Capability Approach Applied to Women’s Empowerment (2010-2017) By Taiwo Eritobor Irrespective of the several platforms and advocacy groups that have promoted women’s empowerment since the post-colonial days, Nigerian women have continued to be relegated to second-class roles. Various scholars like Sen and Nussbaum have constantly presented education as a tool for empowerment and augmentation of women’s roles. However, this is not the case in Nigeria as educated women are unable to attain the height to which the concept of empowerment posits or seen at the forefront of development. This thesis examines the veracity of Martha Nussbaum’s Capability Approach by putting to the test, by means of a case-study of Nigerian women, the role of educational capability in enhancing women’s empowerment, based on a content analysis of focused in-depth interviews of 26 Nigerian women, who are considered leaders in their respective fields, the thesis argues that despite enhanced educational qualifications women are still subject to entrenched patriarchal resistance.

Onuigbo3, Okeke, Martin4 1Department of Public Administration and Local Government University of Nigeria, Nsukka Email: [email protected], [email protected], 2Division of General Studies (Social Sciences). University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Department of Political Science 3Enugu State University of Science and Technology. Email: [email protected] 4Department of Political Science Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka Abstract: Invigorated by President Muhammadu Buhari administration’s zero tolerance to corruption, the two major anti-graft agencies-the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and other Related Offences Commission (ICPC)-have stepped up investigation and prosecution of corrupt current and former public officers. There is palpable fear and concern everywhere in Nigeria now, especially among public treasury looters because there is certainly no hiding place for them as the war against corruption rages. Many who hitherto had been treated as untouchables have either been quizzed, arrested or facing prosecution in courts. The anti-graft agencies’ dragnet has so far caught many. Indeed, it is judgement day for yesterday’s men and women of impunity who made corruption a way of life. Perhaps, the most mind-boggling case is the one involving Sambo Dasuki, immediate past National Security Adviser (NSA) who is currently standing trial for allegedly mismanaging $2.1billion meant for arms procurement. It has opened a Pandora’s Box which has tainted many serving and former military personnel and public servants as well as top politicians.

Boko Haram has committed many atrocities from 2011 to the present. However, the broader humanitarian crisis did not receive nearly as much attention as the kidnappings of the Chibok girls. Therefore, we must ask, why this is the case? This thesis contributes to the literature by introducing a theory of event adoption to describe the relationship between an event-based advocacy campaign and Transnational Advocacy Networks.

  • Politicisation of the Counter-Insurgence
    Global Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences Vol.4, No.2, pp.42-63, February 2016 ___Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) POLITICISATION OF THE COUNTER-INSURGENCE OPERATIONS IN NIGERIA: IMPLICATION FOR THE POLITICAL ECONOMY Chikodiri Nwangwu1, Olihe Adaeze Ononogbu1 and Kingsley Okoye2 1Lecturer and doctoral student in the Department of Political Science, University of Nigeria, Nsukka. 2Doctoral student in the Department of Political Science, University of Nigeria, Nsukka. ABSTRACT: Political partisanship is a very intriguing game. However, the tendency among some megalomaniacs to politicise sensitive national issues has undermined Nigeria’s national interest as well as exacerbated its fragile security. Many political actors mainly from the two major political parties— PDP and APC— were more inclined to using incendiary utterances in order to score cheap political followership in the build up to the 2015 General Election. The study relied on documentary evidence through which data were generated for the validation of its hypothesis. It found that the inclination among these politicians and ethnic jingoists to politicise the counter-insurgence operations has not only sustained the insurgency but also undermined Nigeria’s political economy. Basically, it recommended the adoption of a non-partisan counter-insurgence approach as a remedy for Boko Haram insurgence. KEYWORDS: Boko Haram, National Security, Politicisation, Common Good, Political Economy INTRODUCTION We accept the reality of terrorism as a global phenomenon. However, the peculiar trend of the Nigerian version which subsists on a welter of nebulous demands and masked identities...defies all reason and logic and only summarizes a well considered agenda of national destabilization for a purely selfish political cause— Oliseh Metuh, National Publicity Secretary, PDP.
