This paper contributes to the current debate of limited security and regional integration among West African States as a major challenge of insecurity in West Africa. However this paper’s argument is targeted towards incorporating the dynamic of regional security governance as a means of shifting from the ever-present issue of economic considerations in relation to West African security conversations. Keywords: Regional Security Governance, Regional Organisations, West Africa Introduction In 1990, Anglophone Heads of State of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) established the Economic Community of West African States Monitoring Group (ECOMOG) for the

    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.

    Media Construction and Representation of Women in Political Leadership Positions: a Study of Selected News Media Outlets in Nigeria

    Media construction and representation of women in political leadership positions: A study of selected news media outlets in Nigeria By Bimbo Lolade Fafowora A dissertation submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Journalism), Stellenbosch University Journalism Department Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Supervisor: Prof. Lizette Rabe December 2020 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration I declare that this work has not been submitted whole or in part for obtaining any academic qualification elsewhere, that the entirety of the work contained herein is my original work (except where explicitly stated), that I am the sole author of this work, and that the reproduction and the publication of this work by Stellenbosch University will not infringe on any third party rights. December 2020 Copyright © 2020 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract Despite the growing acceptance of women’s political participation across the world, women in political leadership positions are still regarded as “others”. In Nigeria, just like in other parts of the world, women are still poorly represented in politics and political leadership positions. Globally, media portrayal of women has been identified as one of the reasons for the underrepresentation of women in politics and public leadership. It is against this backdrop that this study examines the construction and representation of women in political leadership positions by the media in Nigeria. Situated at the intersection of media, politics and gender studies, this study explores media contents for representations of women in politics which could contribute to the promotion and perpetuation of traditional gender stereotypes which legitimate marginalisation and subordination of women in Nigeria.
