(USA) Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Political Party Rebellion, Legislative Politics and Balance of Power in the 8th National Assembly of Nigeria By Peter Mbah & Anthony Egobueze University of Nigeria, Nigeria Abstract- The issue of equitable power sharing in the All Progressives Congress (APC) controlled federal legislature has been very contentious in the 8th National Assembly of Nigeria. This paper analyses the legislative politics and politics of office distribution in Nigeria focusing on how elite struggles for power and influence shape the internal conflicts and implementation of zoning principles in the National Assembly. Legislatures evolve and develop internally in reaction to broader political environment. Zoning and rotation principle are part of a democratic culture used to address the problems inherent in a plural society of underdeveloped states. The zoning principle is structured to deliberately ensure some degree of diversity. This is indispensable to the maintenance of the Nigerian State due to its diversity in ethnicity, religion, language, education, etc. This article analyses the conflicts arising from an attempt to change the zoning principle and office distribution imbedded in the federal character principle in Nigeria. It focuses on how elite struggle for power and money shape the conception, implementation, and continuity of zoning of offices and positions in order to maintain ethnic balancing. The article adopts a methodology involving qualitative research based on a review of published literature.

The purposes of the Study were to evaluate impacts of increased estimates of projects on Nigeria's economy, examine the moral implication of budget padding on Nigeria's economy and to find out the socio- economic and political implications of budget padding. The study adopted Social Role Theory of Unethical Leadership propounded by James McGregor Burns in 1978.

Findings of the study showed that increased estimates of projects negatively affect Nigeria's economy, there are socio-economic and political implications of budget padding and budget padding has moral implication on Nigeria's economy. The study recommends that in line with the anti-corruption stand of the Nigerian current administration, all abuse of powers and privileges by public and elected officials should attract appropriate punitive measures, the executive should adopt a yearly publication of the appropriation bills before sending it to the legislative arms, the Presidency should engage a reputable consulting firm to guide and audit the appropriation bill process to ensure credibility of the budget.

  • Nigeria's Musical Moment
    HIGH NOTE Nigeria’s musical moment By Nicholas Norbrook, in Lagos and Abidjan Posted on Monday, 6 January 2020 14:49 A sell-out gig at London's O2 Arena for Davido in January 2019/ MATT CROSSICK/PA WIRE/ABACA Davido, D’banj, Wizkid, Tiwa Savage… Nigerian musicians are global stars. But behind the VIP-studded after-parties, and signings with major labels, is the 100% Naija ecosystem that got them there. “Are you ready?” Amped up by a string of warm-up acts, the audience at the O2 Arena in London loses it completely as Idris Elba jogs out onto the runway. “Are you ready for Davido?” asks the screen idol, rhetorically. A curtain falls to reveal the singer – white T-shirt and black shades. He stands on a circular platform suspended from the roof, some 10 metres in the air. Flames and smoke engulf both platform and Davido, who keeps singing. Pyrotechnicians quietly high-five backstage. The crowd are young. They know all the words to this newly global sound.
