  • The Military and the Challenge of Democratic Consolidation in Nigeria: Positive Skepticism and Negative Optimism
    Journal of Military and Strategic VOLUME 15, ISSUE 4, 2014 Studies The Military And The Challenge Of Democratic Consolidation In Nigeria: Positive Skepticism And Negative Optimism Emmanuel O. Ojo Introduction This paper is an attempt to consider the role of the military in Nigeria’s democratic transitions. The paper has one major thrust – an in-depth analysis of military role in democratic transitions in Nigeria - the fundamental question, however, is: can the military ever be expected or assumed to play any major role in building democracy? The reality on the ground in Africa is that the military as an institution has never been completely immune from politics and the role of nation-building. However, whether they have been doing that perfectly or not is another question entirely which this paper shall address. The extant literature on civil-military relations generally is far from being optimistic that the military can discharge that kind of function creditably. Nonetheless, perhaps by sheer providence, they have been prominent both in political transitions and nation-building in Africa. It is against this backdrop of both pessimism and optimism that necessitated this caption an ‘oxymoron’- a figure of speech which depicts the contradictory compatibility in terms of civil-military relations in Nigeria. It is important to note that Nigeria’s democratization march has been a chequered one.

  • The Irony of Emancipation in the Civil War South Clark Scott Nesbit
    The Irony of Emancipation in the Civil War South Clark Scott Nesbit, Jr. Richmond, Virginia B.A., Swarthmore College, 2001 M.A., University of Virginia, 2005 A Dissertation presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Corcoran Department of History University of Virginia December, 2013 2 © Clark Scott Nesbit, Jr., 2013 3 ABSTRACT Nearly everyone in the Civil War South had opportunity to feel the irony of emancipation. This irony arose from the wartime difference between ending slavery as a regime and freeing slaves, as individuals. This dissertation explores the ways in which white southerners sacrificed, or refused to sacrifice, their interest in the enslavement of particular southern blacks for the sake of a regime that would safeguard slavery. It argues that African Americans at times sought their own freedom even if it meant aiding the Confederate regime, and at other times sought to avoid warzones even if it meant remaining legally enslaved. It argues that the Union’s war to defeat the Confederacy was also a war waged against the Confederates’ main source of labor. Such a war meant, for most who became free in the Civil War, emancipation through displacement and integration into a new system for managing former slaves, the refugee camp/plantation/recruitment complex. For those who remained in the wake of Sherman’s marches and other U.S. raids, it meant living in a land with little food. 4 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my dissertation committee, Ed Ayers, Gary Gallagher, Peter Onuf, and Maurie McInnis for their patience and thoughtful critiques.

  • Democracy in the Context of Material Shortage in Nigeria's Fourth Republic
    DEMOCRACY IN THE CONTEXT OF MATERIAL SHORTAGE IN NIGERIA’S FOURTH REPUBLIC: LIMITATIONS AND THE WAY AHEAD Akhakpe, Ighodalo, PhD Department of Public Administration, Faculty of Management Sciences, Lagos State University, Ojo – Nigeria Abstract: Virtually all modern independent States have as their fundamental goals the pursuit of the welfare and well-being of their citizens. To achieve these goals, the Nigerian State is required to harness its huge human and material potentials for the development of the country. This encompasses increase in employment generation, and improvement in literacy and health status as may be found in longevity and social stability. For several decades all these could not be realized due to bad governance under militarily authoritarian rule. With the inauguration of civilian rule in 1999, it was expected that democratic rule will stem the tide of economic decline and socio-political instability. Over a decade the country is still groaning under socio-economic and political miseries. With the use of political participation theory, the paper argued that the only practical way to surmount the present material shortage is to empower a person to make informed choices and contribute actively in making public decisions which affects their welfare and well-being to recreate their environment and unleash their innate potentials for self development and corporate co-existence. All these involve breaking with the tragedy of the past and increasing the likelihood of achieving the goals of a wealthier, healthier and better educated citizenry under democratic rule. Key Words: Democracy, Materialism, Nigeria, Fourth Republic, Politics Introduction The return to civil rule in Nigeria after years of military and authoritarian rule, raised expectations for a possible resolution of the hydra-headed socio-economic crisis bedeviling the nation since flag of independence in 1960.

This is exponentially more difficult when your advisee lives almost 1000 miles away and works full time.
