  • Online Journalism and the Challenge of Ethics in Nigeria
    Journalism and Mass Communication, October 2016, Vol. 6, No. 10, 585-593 doi: 10.17265/2160-6579/2016.10.003 D DAVID PUBLISHING Online Journalism and the Challenge of Ethics in Nigeria Chike Walter Duru Justice For All/British Council, Abuja, Nigeria Online journalism has changed the face of journalism practice in Nigeria and the world at large. The Internet has virtually revolutionized the process of news and information gathering and dissemination. However, not abiding by the ethics of the profession has become its major burden, a situation that is blamed on certain identified factors. Presently, there is no clear distinction between the role of conventional journalism and citizen journalism. Conventional journalism, which is the mainstream profession of journalism, requires one form of training or the other, either through education or on the job training, for them to discharge their social responsibility role, unlike in the case of citizen journalism, which is presently usurping the role of conventional journalism. This development spells negative effects to the trend of journalism. No doubt, the Internet has removed the barriers of space and time on human interactions; hence, information can easily be obtained at a relatively low cost; but, the major challenges are those of ethics, professionalism, and training. These issues need to be addressed urgently before they set the country on fire. This article traces the background of the ethical challenge and examines its management, highlighting the steps that could be taken to tackle the menace. The reasons for the continued growth in audience of new news site are also explained. Keywords: online journalism, citizen journalism, conventional journalism, ethics, social responsibility Introduction The advent of online media across the globe is a historic revolution that has changed the fortunes of journalism practice and shaped the profession in a symbolic form.

  • Hate Speech, Party Political Communication and the Nigeria’S 2015 General Elections
    Brazilian Journal of African Studies e-ISSN 2448-3923 | ISSN 2448-3915 | v.2, n.4 | p.160-183 | Jul./Dec. 2017 FROM CONVENIENT HIBERNATION TO CIRCUMSTANTIAL DESPERATION: HATE SPEECH, PARTY POLITICAL COMMUNICATION AND THE NIGERIA’S 2015 GENERAL ELECTIONS Mike Omilusi1 Introduction Parties are competing amongst each other for the best ways of resolving political problems. They are in competition for influence and power. Parties not only strive to participate in the formation of political opinion. They also aspire to participate in the representation of the people in parliament. This presumes that parties take part in elections. Besides its candidates, the political programme is the “merchandise” of a party, which it offers to the voters (Hofmeister and Grabow 2011, 9). Thus, the political parties reach out to the voters through organised communication strategies particularly during elections even though electoral campaigns can be very different in different countries and between elections. As observed by Kavanagh (2000, 29) many factors influence the nature of the campaign, including the type of office the election is for; the legislative framework for electoral campaigning (such as electoral laws), cultural habits, and media outreach; the electoral and party systems, etc. Campaign strategies are on the one hand influenced by the political context in which they occur, and on the other hand affected by the political parties who conduct the electoral campaign. However, looking at a political campaign as a discourse, it goes beyond the mere use of words to gain votes. In their bid to persuade, writers of political campaigns dwell on policy utterances which address past deeds, future plans, or general goals as well as character 1 Department of Political Science, Ekiti State University, Ado Ekiti, Nigeria.

Introduction 1.1 CIVICUS is a global alliance of civil society organisations (CSOs) and activists dedicated to strengthening citizen action and civil society around the world. Founded in 1993, CIVICUS has members in more than 170 countries throughout the world. 1.2 The Nigeria Network of NGOs (NNNGO) is the first generic membership body for CSOs in Nigeria. Established in 1992 and representing over 2,400 organisations, NNNGO supports Nigerian CSOs in their commitment to poverty reduction, promotion of human rights and in bringing development to the doorsteps of the people. 1.3 In this submission, CIVICUS and NNNGO examine the Government of Nigeria’s compliance with its international human rights obligations to create and maintain a safe and enabling environment for civil society. Specifically, we analyse Nigeria’s fulfilment of the rights to the freedoms of association, peaceful assembly and expression and unwarranted restrictions on human rights defenders (HRDs) since its previous UPR examination in October 2013. To this end, we assess Nigeria’s implementation of recommendations received during the 2nd UPR cycle relating to these issues and provide a number of specific, action-orientated follow-up recommendations.

  • The Role of Discursive Constructions in Nigeria's ASUU-FGN Labour
    The Role of Discursive Constructions in Nigeria’s ASUU-FGN Labour Conflict of 2013 Samuel Alaba Akinwotu Senior Lecturer, Department of English Studies, Adekunle Ajasin University, Akungba- Akoko, Nigeria https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2404-3094 Abstract The performance of Nigeria’s tertiary education sector has been undermined on numerous occasions by labour conflicts. While these labour disputes are widely reported in the media, there has been only minimal scholarly examination of the discourses that predominate in the media during these conflicts. Using the critical discourse analysis (CDA) and conceptual metaphor (CM) frameworks, this study examined the discursive features of a labour conflict in 2013 between the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) and the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN). Statements by ASUU and FGN officials and their supporters, as published by Nigerian print and online news sources during the dispute, were purposively sampled, along with media outlets’ editorial statements and readers’ online comments. It was found that the labour dispute was discursively and metaphorically constructed in militaristic terms, as a conflict between two enemies engaged in a kind of battle or war. It was also found that both ASUU and the FGN engaged in propagandistic discourses in line with their militaristic discursive constructions, and that the two sides propagated disparaging discourses in respect of each other’s motivations and behaviours. It was also found that certain readers reproduced elements of the prevailing discourses in their online comments on media coverage of the strike.

  • OLALERE, Titilope Olusegun (Mrs) Department Of
    Women and Nigerian Politics: An Appraisal of 2015 General Elections OLALERE, Titilope Olusegun (Mrs) Department of History & International Studies McPherson University, Seriki-Sotayo, Ogun State Email: [email protected], Tel: 08027351714 Abstract The major thrust of this paper is an appraisal of the dynamics of Nigerian women involvement in politics since the birth of the fourth republic with special reference to the 2015 general elections. Major areas of their involvement in politics that this paper intends to interrogate include participation in elective positions (Presidential, Gubernatorial, National and State Houses of Assembly elections), electioneering processes, campaigns and rallies among others. It argues that in spite of the increasing number of Nigerian women in politics, the country‟s politics is still largely dominated by men. The challenges facing the active participation of Nigerian women in politics such as cultural factor, lack of internal democracy among political parties, gender discrimination, lack of fund and so on are also analysed in the paper. The paper concludes that the involvement of women in Nigerian politics in the Fourth Republic has taken a new dimension especially with reference to 2015 general elections. For the first time in the political history of Nigeria in the republic, a major political party in the country (All Progressives Congress) presented a female candidate as a standard bearer for the gubernatorial election in Taraba State. The paper adopts historical, descriptive and empirical methods in its analysis. Key words: Women, Politics, Elections, Democracy 1 Introduction In historical perspective, the involvement of Nigerian women in politics spanned through three distinct epochs, namely, pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial.
