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.

Ethno‐religious Identity and Conflict in Northern Nigeria: Understanding the Dynamics of Sharia in Kaduna and Kebbi States Eyene OKPANACHI IFRA-Nigeria e-Papers, n° 07 03/06/2010 http://www.ifra‐nigeria.org/IMG/pdf/Okpanachi_2010.pdf Ethno‐religious Identity and Conflict in Northern Nigeria: Understanding the Dynamics of Sharia in Kaduna and Kebbi States 1 Eyene OKPANACHI Department of Political Science, University of Ibadan, Nigeria Abstract This study examines the relationship between the Sharia law, identity and conflict in Nigeria. This development is studied within the context of Kaduna and Kebbi states. The study investigates in historical and empirical manner the implication of the Sharia policy for the formation/transformation of the identities of the different ethno- religious groups within the two states; the ways in which the ethno-religious groups have shaped their own identity in response to the Sharia policy; the role of state institutions in shaping the cultural order of the multicultural settings; and the construction of group identities and boundaries. In doing this, the study asks the following questions: what forms of discord or alliance have emerged over the Sharia policy and what are the implications of these transformations on the dynamics of these states? What is the nature of the citizenship and identity contestations and conflicts that have ensued over the Sharia policy and how have they been managed or mismanaged? To open up the question of the relationship of Sharia to identity, and identity to conflict is to open up some of the most difficult and controversial issues, which are both deeply embedded within, and fundamentally elided by, contemporary understandings of peace and conflict studies in Nigeria.

Remarks by Dr
Remarks by Dr. Paden: Author of Muslim Civic Culture and Conflict Resolution: The Challenge of Democratic Federalism in Nigeria. Let me welcome you all here this evening, and thank Brookings institution and the Saban Center for facilitating this book launch. In particular, let me thank Peter Singer and Rabab Fayad, who have worked tirelessly on the arrangements. I would also like to thank my Nigerian colleagues who have assisted in the launch, especially Ahmad Abubakar and Lawal Idris. I am especially honored by the participation of the panel here tonight. General Muhammadu Buhari has flown in from Nigeria to be our special guest of honor. As former head of state in Nigeria, and as major political challenger of the current administration in Abuja, he has shown that it is possible to use the judicial system to seek redress of election grievances. He has also shown that it is possible to accept the results of the Supreme Court decision last July, out of respect for the judicial system, while still remaining critical of the process of elections in Nigeria. His respect for the principles of the Fourth Republic, and his leadership of the peaceful opposition parties in Nigeria, make him one of the great statesmen of contemporary democratic systems. I am also grateful for the presence here tonight of Dr. Ibrahim Gambari, currently undersecretary general/ political of the United Nations, who has just returned from international travel and made a special point of coming down from New York for this occasion. He is one of my oldest friends in Nigeria, and a wise counselor to all who believe in a peaceful and democratic Nigeria.

A Lunch Date with Zamfara Governor Sani Yerima by Mobolaji E
Appendix 3: NOTE: This file contains two articles by Aluko, Document A and B, separated by <xxxx>. MONDAY QUARTERBACKING: A Lunch Date with Zamfara Governor Sani Yerima By Mobolaji E. Aluko, Ph.D. Burtonsville, MD 20866 [email protected] July 10, 2000 Governor Ahmed Sani of Zamfara State, after delivering his paper at the symposium. [Picture by www.gamji.com]Introduction On Tuesday, May 16, 2000, there was a VOA program on Nigeria titled "Nigeria's Quest for Democracy: Governance, Sharia and Civil Conflicts" at the VOA offices in Washington, DC. Please visit the URL: http://www.voa.gov/symposia/nigeria.html for an audio presentation of it. It featured, among several others, President Olusegun Obasanjo, House Speaker Ghali Na'Abba and Catholic Archbishop John Onaiyekan (all by phone from Nigeria), as well as youthful Governor Ahmed Sani Yerima Bakuru of Zamfara in person (Panel 2). It was quite a lively program indeed, but no earth-shaking solutions emanated from it. Anyway, during the program, a note was passed to some of us attendees by one Mr. Sanusi Mohammed (of Africa 2020, resident in New York), inviting us to lunch with Governor Yerima at the Four Seasons Hotel in Georgetown. After some hesitation - at least on my part - we all obliged. The lunch was to last from about 2 pm to 5 pm. There were about a total of fourteen of us at the lunch - Sanusi, Governor Yerima, Zamfara State's Attorney-General and Commissioner of Justice, equally youthful Alhaji Ahmed Bello Mahmud and five of their courtiers; and six of us invitees - Dr.

Corruption and Legislative Functions in Nigeria Usman D. Umaru, Ph.D
IOSR Journal of Economics and Finance (IOSR-JEF) e-ISSN: 2321-5933, p-ISSN: 2321-5925.Volume 8, Issue 1 Ver. I (Jan-Feb. 2017), PP 01-08 www.iosrjournals.org Corruption and Legislative Functions in Nigeria Usman D. Umaru, Ph.D Department of Public Administration, University of Maiduguri, Borno State, Nigeria Abstract: The Legislature is an important institution of government in a democratic system of government as Nigeria, especially the bicameral legislature, made up of the Senate and the House of Representative. It was against this background that this study is on the impact of corruption on the function of the legislature. The study adopted content analysis. Documentary ideas as expressed in text books, journal articles, magazines, Internet and Newspapers was analyzed and utilized. Its objective is to identify how corruption scuttled proper democratic representation in the National Assembly in Nigeria. The study discovered that the members of the National Assembly, i.e. Senate and the House of Representative were only concerned with their personal interest and not the interest of the public that voted them into the various houses to represent them. In conclusion, the study identifies corruption as the reason why the National Assembly was not able to do proper legislation. It was therefore recommended that the legislature should be operated on a part-time basis and the number of sittings and the membership at both the lower and upper chambers should be drastically reduced. Keywords: Representative system of government, Legislature and Corruption. I. Introduction The Nigerian State is made up of three arms of government. These are the Executive, Legislature and the Judiciary.
