  • The Niger Delta Crisis: a Focus on Post-Amnesty Militancy and National Security
    African Journal of International Affairs, Vol.13, Numbers 1&2, 2010, pp. 1–14 © Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa, 2013 (ISSN 0850–7902) The Niger Delta Crisis: A Focus on Post-Amnesty Militancy and National Security Ojieh Chukwuemeka Ojione* Abstract The government-sponsored Amnesty Programme for militants disrupting oil production in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria has resulted in rela- tive peace in the area. Consequently, Nigeria’s oil production which dropped from 2.6 million barrels a day to about 1 million at the peak of the Niger Delta crisis between 2006 and 2009 has now risen to 2.1 million barrels daily. But recent events have raised doubts as to whether Amnesty Programme can tame the monster of militancy in the Niger Delta. This is because post-amnesty militancy has assumed even more frightening dimensions. The twist in the current wave of militancy, which now extends the battle outside the creeks, going upland and sometimes to the seats of government, portends a larger threat to the nation’s security. This article submits that the olive branch, which the Amnesty Programme presents, would not sufficiently assuage the restive minds in the region. This is because anything short of owner-control or at least owner-participation in the management of the resources of the Niger Delta region would remain mere palliatives. Key Words: environmental issues, resource management, amnesty, militancy, national security. * Department of History & International Studies, Delta State University, Abraka, Nigeria.

  • Human Mobility, International Conflict and State Building
    Pubblicazione quadrimestrale afriche numero 3 / 2018 www.comune.bologna.it/iperbole/africheorientie orienti rivista di studi ai confini tra africa mediterraneo e medio oriente anno XX numero 3 / 2018 Libya in Transition: Human Mobility, International Conflict and State Building Edited by Antonio M. Morone RICERCHE Lo scenario fondamentalista nella Nigeria settentrionale: influenze e similitudini nella genesi dei Boko Haram Adriana Piga Abstract: The spread of the armed protest of the Boko Haram in Northern Nigeria remains linked to the «dirty politics» of the Borno governors, to the ambiguities that have connected Modu Sherif to Yusuf, and to the tensions between Sufi and izala disciples in the context of the diatribe between Sufism and anti-sufism that has involved society for decades in the Far 131 North, while the militarization in the North-East has aroused, among other things, a long empathy towards the Boko Haram dissidence. The attack on the federal state conducted by both the Boko Haram and the Shiite movements is based on the conception of a federal government as “taghut”, that is, corrupt, secular and anti-Islamic. The disenchantment with a failed Western government system is shared by both the elites and the “talakawa”, the poor masses of the North- East. A number of Koranic disciples end up being part of the youth criminal gangs that rage in all Nigerian urban centres. The bland education received by the Koranic disciples should be modernised and made more appropriate to a labour market that is closed to the youth masses of the North. Keywords: North Nigeria, islamic fundamentalism, jihad, hausa, iconoclastic violence Introduzione1 Gli attentati dei Boko Haram hanno interessato molti Stati federali del Nord e del Centro- Nord della Nigeria come l’Adamawa, lo Yobe, il Gombe, il Bauchi, lo Jigawa, lo Stato di Kaduna, di Kano, di Kogi, del Niger e del Plateau (Jos) oltre ovviamente al Borno, la cui capitale è Maiduguri (Onuhoa 2014: 170).

Department Of Political Science, Enugu State University Of Science And Technology, Nigeria. ABSTRACT:-This research determined whether the application of the federal character principle in solving ethnic tension, national question and inequitable distribution of political power possesses the potentials for achieving national integration which is the prerequisite for economic development. Most of the information in this research was based on the secondary source of data collection.

The adoption of federal character principle in Nigeria is to hold the federating units firm. This research also traced the history of amalgamation and evolution of Nigeria as one political unit. It also analyzed and examined the adoption of the Federal Character Principle as a solution to the problem of ethnic tensions arising from inequitable distribution of political power and posts, its relevance to the solution on ethnic tensions and marginalization. Keywords:- National integration, amalgamation, economic development, political power and ethnic tension. I.

  • A Comparative Study of Constitution and Constitutionalsim in Nigeria (1999-2009)
    Arabian Journal of Business and Management Review (OMAN Chapter) Vol. 2, No.6, Jan. 2013 1999 CONSTITUTION AND NATIONAL INTEGRATION: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF CONSTITUTION AND CONSTITUTIONALSIM IN NIGERIA (1999-2009). Michael Abiodun Oni Oluranti Ayomola (Mrs) Department of Political Science & Public Administration Babcock University, Ilishan-Remo ABSTRACT Constitution is a legal instrument that to captured the essence of any political system in which it is operated. Hence, it is a body of laws which ensure that all the aspects of political system are to be taken into consideration in the process of its making. Thus, the framers of the federal constitution incorporate institutional measures to assure oneness in a diversified polity. This was the exact case with the nation's 1999 constitution in which some integrative mechanisms were entrenched to ensure unity in diversity. This study, therefore, not only identified these integrative mechanisms in the 1999 constitutions; presidentialism, federal character and party formation but also measured the extents of compliance by the operators of the constitution. The study which adopted documentary method thereby relies on secondary sources for its data generation concluded that, although the operators complied with these integrative mechanisms, but there were absurdities, abuses and misuse in its operations and practices. The paper also concluded that some of the integrative provisions are burden on the finances of the Nigerian State. The paper made some fundamental recommendations on how to strengthens the institutional mechanisms as provided for in the 1999 constitution INTRODUCTION It is a wide belief that the inability of the two post colonial constitutions in Nigeria 1960 and 1963 independence and Republican constitutions respectively to incorporate adequate integrative measures in the constitutions led to the premature collapse of the nation’s First and Second Republics among other factors.
