  • The Impact of Ethnic Rivalry and Gulf of Trust on Nigerian Politics
    Journal of Sustainable Development in Africa (Volume 16, No.5, 2014) ISSN: 1520-5509 Clarion University of Pennsylvania, Clarion, Pennsylvania THE IMPACT OF ETHNIC RIVALRY AND GULF OF TRUST ON NIGERIAN POLITICS: THE CASE OF THE FOUR-PARTY ALLIANCE, THE PROGRESSIVE PEOPLES’ PARTY AND THE PROGRESSIVE PARTIES’ ALLIANCE, 1979-1983 Emmanuel Oladipo Ojo Department of History & International Studies, Faculty of Arts, Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria ABSTRACT Ethnicity was the most recurring decimal and dominant feature of Nigerian politics between 1951 and 1983. Since each of the ethnic groups – particularly the three major ones: Igbo, Hausa-Fulani and Yoruba – almost always held one another in utter suspicion, the basis of enduring political collaboration and partnership was almost always exactly nil. Thus, political collaboration between the three major ethnic groups became almost unachievable and when and where circumstances compelled some forms of political partnerships, they floundered over irreconcilable differences that revolved around ethnic rivalries and vagaries. This gulf of trust characterized the entire political process in Nigeria up to 1983 with very few instances of rapprochement among the major ethnic nationalities. While appreciable literature is available on the impact of ethnicity on Nigerian politics in the period before and after the attainment of independence and indeed up to the outbreak of the Civil War; not much is available in print on the rivalry that prevented the formation of a Four-Party Alliance, a Progressive Peoples’ Party as well as a Progressive Parties’ Alliance between 1979 and 1983. This almost entirely neglected aspect of Nigeria’s political history is the focus of this paper.

  • Spatial Variations of Values of Residential Land Use in Lagos Metropolis (Pp
    An International Multi-Disciplinary Journal, Ethiopia Vol. 3 (2), January, 2009 ISSN 1994-9057 (Print) ISSN 2070-0083 (Online) Spatial Variations of Values of Residential Land Use in Lagos Metropolis (Pp. 381-403) Leke Oduwaye -Department of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Lagos, Akoka, Lagos. [email protected] ; [email protected] Abstract The cost of land has very strong influence on the quality and type of development that can be sustained on such land. Residential areas are no exception. This is more pronounced in economically vibrant. Lagos being the economic nerve centre of Nigeria fall into this category cities. This study is therefore to further enrich existing literature in this area but focusing on residential land values in Metropolitan Lagos. In the study, the actual prices of various components of residential land use are established which the study classified into rent, purchase price of residential apartments and purchase price of residential plots of land. This was done for different residential land use types which the study classified into three: namely high density, medium density and low density areas. The study concludes that residential land values are high in the low density areas and lower at the high density areas. The paper suggests the need to improve both physical and economic access to residential properties, privatization of the supply of infrastructural facilities, improvement in the quality of the environment and the need to release lands under public ownership to make more land available for residential use.

  • “The Poor Also Must Live!” Market Demolition, Gentrification and the Quest for Survival in Lagos State
    “The Poor Also Must Live!” Market Demolition, Gentrification and the Quest for Survival in Lagos State. October 2016 “The Poor Also Must Live!” Market Demolition, Gentrification and the Quest for Survival in Lagos State. Author: Gbenga Komolafe, General Secretary, Federation of Informal Workers' Organizations of Nigeria (FIWON) Publication Date: October 2016 About FIWON: FIWON is a membership based organization of self - employed workers in the informal sectors of the Nigerian economy. Whereas workers in the informal sectors constitute over 80% of non-agricultural employment, 60% of the urban employment and over 90% of new jobs in Nigeria, they are often subjected to arbitrary and excessive taxation, downright extortion, arbitrary arrests and imprisonment while their basic needs for social security is ignored. Informal workers constitute the bulk of the poor and marginalized people in Nigeria. FIWON was inaugurated June 18, 2010 in Abuja in the course of its 1st National Conference in Abuja with over 34 self - employed workers’ organizations in attendance. Today, there are over 120 organizations from 15 states of the Nigerian federation. FIWON’s overall goal is to transform the working and living conditions of informal workers to an acceptable standard that guarantees their basic human rights as citizens and workers. FIWON builds leadership capacities of informal workers for resisting rights violation and for representation in decision making public institutions. It has a Cooperative and Thrift arm that provide soft loans for members while it collaborates with public and private institutions for vocational and entrepreneurial training of members. “The Poor Also Must Live!” Market Demolition, Gentrification and the Quest for Survival in Lagos State.

  • AD/Afenifere: the Squandering of Heritage
    ADAfenifere The Squandering of Heritage Page 1 of 6 AD/Afenifere: The Squandering of Heritage By Dr. Wale Adebanjo Now that the Yoruba have overwhelmingly voted, as the election results indicate, for the People's Democratic Party, we must note that it will not be the first time a people will vote against what they do not 'like' and vote for what they do not 'need'. The electoral defeat of AD has come to be seen as a major rupture in Yoruba politics. It is not. Rather, it is the consolidation of a process that began much earlier but distinctively in 1998/1999 when the Afenifere leadership started behaving like autocratic inheritors of a democratic legacy. In an earlier essay, 'Obasanjo, Yoruba and the Future of Nigeria' (ThisDay, The Sunday Newspaper, February 16, 2003), I had referred to the soon-to-be ex-Governor Bisi Akande's statement that the soon-to-be two-term President Olusegun Obasanjo would always be an embarrassment to himself. I had added, crucially, that that was not the whole truth, and that it was an abdication of the predisposition to face the whole political truth, for, indeed, President Olusegun Obasanjo would always be an embarrassment to the Yoruba. Now, Akande, who made bold to reveal this partial truth, has been kicked out of Osun State Government House and Obasanjo, about whom the partial truth was revealed, has been overwhelmingly returned to Aso Rock Villa. Beyond that, Akande's party, the Alliance for Democracy, has been overwhelmingly rejected by the people for whom it was primarily created, and Obasanjo's party, the People's Democratic Party, a largely derelict association of mostly light-hearted buccaneers, has been overwhelmingly voted into the government houses in the West, except Lagos.

  • Isaac Olawale Albert Explaining ‘Godfatherism’ in Nigerian Politics
    Af ri can So cio log i cal Re view, 9, (2), 2005, pp.79-105. Isaac Olawale Albert Explaining ‘godfatherism’ in Nigerian Politics Take it or leave it, the arche typal godfather in Nigeria is more than the ruthless Mario Puzo’s kingpins in the Italian Mafia setting. While the fictional godfather is charac terized as ‘a shadowy, dare-devil recluse, who combines immense under world financial muscle with near mythical powers of enormous propor tions’, which is to attain a further greasing of the ever-increasing vast financial empire, the Nigeria type has the added charac ter - ization of conceit, ego, loquacity, pettiness, envy, strife, crudity, and confusion.1 Intro duction The works of Plato, Aristotle, Tacitus, and other classical philos o phers are largely focussed on the concen tration of political power in the hands of a few in the early Greek and Roman society. Thinkers such as Pareto, Mosca, Michels, and Marx2 too devoted their political analysis to how power is used and misused by the elite class in different contexts. The domination of power by the hegemonic class in many parts of the contem porary world can thus be said to be nothing new but has a robust pedigree. The main lesson from all these works is that the study of political elites and leadership is very important for under - standing the trajec tories of devel opment in any society. As Welsh observed,3 political elites ‘partic ipate in, or influence the making of, decisions that allocate resources within and among social units’. A variety of conflicts are produced in the process.

Africa Media Review Vol. 5 No. 2.1991 ©African Council for Communication Education Political Communications: Press and Politics in Nigeria's Second Republic by Rahman Olalekan Olayiwola* Abstract This paper examines mass media bias in Nigerian political communications. It argues that ownership of the mass media in Nigeria tends to determine how they are used for political communications in the country. Other factors, such as ethnicity, religion, literacy, language of communication, legal limitations, politi- cal and socio-economic conditions, are also considered. The paper maintains, however, that the fact of ownership is not only the key which determines how the mass media are used for moulding the citizen's perception of political reality in the country, but that it is also a more precise means of understanding and investigating the role of the press in political stability or instability, national integration or disintegration. It concludes that as Nigeria approaches a third attempt at democratic rule in socio-economic conditions which are less propitious than in the past, there is a need for the Nigerian mass media to operate in a way which contributes to national integration. It suggests the need to restructure the media ownership pattern and to establish a Nigerian Media Advisory Council. Rahman O. Olayiwola was attached to the Department of Government, London School of Economics, when he prepared this paper.
