A devoted mother indeed, who laid the solid foundation which formed the basis for my continued academic pursuit. 4 5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The researcher is grateful to the Almighty God, for his guidance and protection upon her life. She appreciates his love and care during the period of this programme. May glory, honour and adoration be unto His holy name. A research work of this nature is usually a product of a careful, thorough, analytical and articulate work, usually made possible not only by the intellectual input of the student but by the remarkable contributions of many intellectuals. First among these is Prof. (Mrs) V. W. Dike, the thesis supervisor, for her excellent and immeasurable contributions towards the successful completion of this work. Her accessibility and readiness to help, led to the completion of this thesis in particular and the programme in general. Her high sense of understanding, dedication, encouragement, conscientiousness and unassuming character, have endeared me to her. Indeed, Prof. Dike is a rare gem, a workaholic, highly patient and a special breed of an academician. I appreciate her greatly. The researcher also owes profound and immense gratitude to Prof. M. Afolabi, for his invaluable contributions towards the success of this thesis. He critically went through this work at each stage and proffered useful suggestions. He is always accessible at all times and always ready to help. Again, Prof. A. Nwosu, for her useful contributions and criticisms which helped to put the work in shape. She conscientiously read my work and gave useful suggestions. She deserves a lot of gratitude. Dr. K. O. Usman whose useful contributions and criticisms s encouraged me to work hard also deserves a lot of gratitude. He also made immeasurable contributions towards the completion of this thesis. The researcher also wishes to appreciate the contributions made by Dr. R. E. Ozioko, who assiduously, meticulously and painstakingly read the work and proffered useful corrections. Also Dr. U. N. Eze, Mr. E .O. 6 Omeje and Dr. V. N Nwachukwu for their useful corrections and contributions which gave me an insight to the nature of the study during this period of struggle. They deserve a lot of gratitude. Dr.(Mrs) Ifeoma Echezona needs a special mention for her encouragement and useful contributions towards the completion of this study. Some academic colleagues of the researcher – Julie Udensi, Comfort Onyeneho, Peter Umukoro, Austine Mole, Cyril Ugwu etc. whose exchange of ideas and company gave me the identity during this programme deserve to be mentioned. The researcher is indebted to all the Heads of Departments of Libr ary and Information Science and other staff in all the universities visited for data collection, for their co-operation for availing me the necessary information in my research area and gave relevant suggestions too. Also worthy of mention is late Prof. B. E. Edoka who contributed immensely towards the completion of this study. Prof. O. M. Okoro, Dr. F. A. Okwo, Dr. (Mrs) F. O. Ezeudu, Mr. F. C. Ekere and Dr.(Mrs) V. N. Okafor are worthy of appreciation for their numerous contributions towards the preparation of the manuscript. The researcher’s unreserved gratitude goes to her beloved spouse, Dr. Obi Otubelu for his advice, useful suggestions, encouragement, moral and financial support towards the successful completion of this programme and for bringing me up to this level through the grace of our Almighty God. Indeed, Obi is my mentor and motivator. Finally, my children for their prayers, love and moral support, deserve my recognition in this regard. The researcher wants specially to mention Kenechi, Chinazom and Izuchukwu for their contributions at one stage or the other towards the completion of this work. To all my numerous friends and well wishers who in one way or the other contributed to the success of this work. I hereby acknowledge.

  • Nigerian Newspaper Ownership in a Changing Polity
    African Study Monographs, 32 (4): 177-203, October 2011 177 WHEN (NOT) TO BE A PROPRIETOR: NIGERIAN NEWSPAPER OWNERSHIP IN A CHANGING POLITY A.O. ADESOJI Department of Historyy, Obafemi Awolowo University H.P. HAHN Institut für Ethnologie, Johann Wolfgang Göthe Universität ABSTRACT The Nigerian press has seen different kinds of ownership ranging from missions, groups, and individuals to governments. Yet ownership of some newspapers remained obscure and a subject of speculation. Beyond the traditional functions, Nigerian newspapers have served purposes that diverged from their professed philosophy or ideologies. Despite travails particularly during the long military rule, and the seeming unprofi tability of most ventures, newspapers have continued to proliferate. Ownership is central to the functionality, style, outlook, survival and perception of newspapers. These issues raise some fundamental questi- ons as to why various parties venture into newspaper ownership, or desire to retain ownership when it is risky or economically unwise to do so. Using historical analysis approaches, the authors argue that the glamour and self-fulfi lment in newspaper proprietorship as well as the parochial interest which some newspapers have served allure their owners and even encourage the addition of new titles even when other dynamics point to the contrary. Key Words: Newspapers; Ownership; Proliferation; Politics; Profi tability; Nation-Building; Historical Analysis. INTRODUCTION The press remains an important institution all over the world. Its centrality to communication is not in doubt (Lazarfeld & Merton, 1971: 554–578; Mueller, 1976; Rubin, 1997: 104–106). In the performance of its public watchdog role, the press serves as a behavioural regulatory agent on the activities of government and its functionaries (Kolawole, 1998).

The press/politics nexus in consolidating democracies is critical to understanding intricate yet overlapping connexion between politics and development in the Third World. This study examined if media-power shape elections and regime outcomes in Nigeria? Using semi-structured interviews (and incorporating News-Game research tool), findings indicate that Nigeria's two-decade-old democracy remains volatile, fragile, and vulnerable. This vulnerability is complicated by long-standing religious, ethno-regional political suspicions; and overburdened with shifting media ecology, particularly social media disinformation and propaganda. These complexities allow a politics of privilege, class, and power that not only ensures its preservation but also insulates the political elite from public outcry and media pressure. In conclusion, evidence indicates that media power exerts limited influence on elections and regime outcomes. The study recommends renewed effort to investigate power.
