  • Colonial Army Formats in Africa and Post-Colonial Military Coups
    Scientia Militaria, South African Journal of Military Studies, Vol 35, Nr 1, 2007. doi: 10.5787/35-1-31 99 COLONIAL ARMY RECRUITMENT PATTERNS AND POST-COLONIAL MILITARY COUPS D’ÉTAT IN AFRICA: THE CASE OF NIGERIA, 1966-1993 ___________________________________________ Dr E. C. Ejiogu, Department of Sociology University of Maryland Abstract Since time immemorial, societies, states and state builders have been challenged and transformed by the need and quest for military manpower.1 European states relied on conscript armies to ‘pacify’ and retain colonies in parts of the non-European world. These facts underscore the meticulous attention paid by the British to the recruitment of their colonial forces in Africa. In the Niger basin for one, conscious efforts were made by individual agents of the British Crown and at official level to ensure that only members of designated groups were recruited into those colonial forces that facilitated the establishment of the Nigerian supra- national state. The end of colonial rule and shifts in military recruitment policies hardly erased the vestiges of colonial recruitment from the Nigerian military. The study on which this article is based and which examines Britain’s policies on military human resource recruitment as state-building initiatives, argued that military coups d’état in Nigeria can be traced back to colonial and post-colonial recruitment patterns for military human resources. Introduction Nigeria, built in the late nineteenth century by British colonial intervention, is Africa’s most populous country.2 Events in Nigeria3 since October 1, 1960, when it acquired political independence from Britain, furthermore attest to the political instability that the country experiences.

  • Challenges of Citizen Elections Observation in Nigeria: a Historical Perspective
    European Scientific Journal October 2019 edition Vol.15, No.29 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 Challenges of Citizen Elections Observation in Nigeria: A Historical Perspective Greene Ifeanyichukwu Eleagu, Ph.D Political Science Department, Gregory University, Uturu, Abia State, Nigeria Gloria Obiageri Eleagu, Department of Social Studies, Alvan Ikoku Federal College of Education, Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria Doi:10.19044/esj.2019.v15n29p51 URL:http://dx.doi.org/10.19044/esj.2019.v15n29p51 Abstract The near six decades of Nigeria as an independent nation has been fraught with instability arising essentially from attempts at democracy through periodic elections. These elections have been largely chacterized by hooliganism, ballot-snatching, theft of election materials, kidnapping of political opponents, assassination of political rivals, arson, assault and physical destruction of election materials and even intimidation and outright molestation or killing of election officials. This paper therefore went down the memory lane to establish and, using the Marxist theory of state attempt to explain, the pattern of elections that have characterized democracy in Nigeria and locate the place of citizen observers in Nigerian elections. Keywords: Election, Democracy, Citizen observation, Opposition, Violence Introduction Periodic elections have, generally, become a major index for measuring democratic compliance and soundness across the globe. According to Bratton and Posner (1999:378) elections provide the best criterion for orderly leadership succession, entailing popular participation. They ensure responsibility and responsiveness on the part of government. According to the United Nations (cited in Wanyonyi, 1997: 21), “… the will of the people shall be the basis of authority of government. This shall be expressed in periodic and genuine elections…”.

  • Assessment of Airport Service Quality in Nigeria
    European Journal of Logistics, Purchasing and Supply Chain Management Vol.8 No.4, pp.1-18, December 2020 Published by ECRTD UK ISSN 2054-0930 (Print), ISSN 2054-0949 (Online) ASSESSMENT OF AIRPORT SERVICE QUALITY IN NIGERIA Ugo James Chinonso1 and Ejem A. Ejem2 Department of Transport Management Technology, Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Nigeria Email1: [email protected], Email2: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The study assessed the airport service quality (ASQ) in Nigeria using the SERVQUAL Model from both the perspectives of the airlines and air transport passengers as major consumers of airport services in Nigeria. Using the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport (NAIA), Abuja and Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos; as case studies, we used questionnaire as survey instrument to elicit the service quality expectations and perceptions of airlines and air passengers in both airports. SERVQUAL model was used to determine the airport service quality which was subsequently compared. The results of the study indicates that from both perspectives of the airlines and air passengers, the airport service quality (ASQ) in both airports are low and cannot meet the service quality expectations of both airlines and passengers. However, the results show that the MMIA, Lagos offers higher quality of airport services than NAIA, Abuja. KEYWORDS: service quality, airline, airport, passengers, Nigeria INTRODUCTION The theory of consumer behaviour suggests that consumers drive is always geared towards utility maximization. Utility in this sense is the ability of a product and /or service to satisfy the needs of consumers. The total satisfaction (total utility) derived from the consumption of the services and/ or goods is a correlate of and depends on the quality of service and/or goods (Aleksandra, 2017).

  • The Jonathan Presidency, by Abati, the Guardian, Dec. 17
    The Jonathan Presidency By Reuben Abati Published by The Jonathan Presidency The Jonathan Presidency By Reuben Abati A review of the Goodluck Jonathan Presidency in Nigeria should provide significant insight into both his story and the larger Nigerian narrative. We consider this to be a necessary exercise as the country prepares for the next general elections and the Jonathan Presidency faces the certain fate of becoming lame-duck earlier than anticipated. The general impression about President Jonathan among Nigerians is that he is as his name suggests, a product of sheer luck. They say this because here is a President whose story as a politician began in 1998, and who within the space of ten years appears to have made the fastest stride from zero to “stardom” in Nigerian political history. Jonathan himself has had cause to declare that he is from a relatively unknown village called Otuoke in Bayelsa state; he claims he did not have shoes to wear to school, one of those children who ate rice only at Xmas. When his father died in February 2008, it was probably the first time that Otuoke would play host to the kind of quality crowd that showed up in the community. The beauty of the Jonathan story is to be found in its inspirational value, namely that the Nigerian dream could still take on the shape of phenomenal and transformational social mobility in spite of all the inequities in the land. With Jonathan’s emergence as the occupier of the highest office in the land, many Nigerians who had ordinarily given up on the country and the future felt imbued with renewed energy and hope.

The current crisis in the oil-producing Niger Delta that emerged in late 2005 with the appearance of the Movement for the Emancipation of Niger Delta (MEND) and a series of abductions and attacks on oil installations, is merely the most recent expression of a long simmering conflict that has engulfed both Warri city and its surrounding hinterlands.

Wale Shittu, Femi Adenuga and Emmanuel Nweke all work for the Civil Liberties Organization (CLO), a non-governmental human rights organization. They were arrested by police on 2 July apparently for being in possession of leaflets issued by the CLO and the Campaign for Democracy calling for an end to military rule in Nigeria. They were held without charge or trial at the State Investigation and Intelligence Bureau (SIIB), Alagbon Close, in Lagos but were reportedly later charged with sedition. Amnesty International believes that Wale Shittu, Femi Adenuga and Emmanuel Nweke were arrested because of their peaceful political activities and is now calling for all charges against them to be dropped. BACKGROUND INFORMATION 0n 26 August 1993 General Ibrahim Babangida resigned as President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces and installed a non-elected interim government. The new interim government is headed by Chief Ernest Shonekan, a civilian who was also the Chairman of the Transitional Council set up in January 1993 to run the day-to-day affairs of the country until a return to civilian rule scheduled for August 1993. Several former officials retain their position in the new 32-member Interim Federal Executive Council, including General Sani Abacha who remains in charge of the Defence Ministry.
