It is argued that ethnicity is not necessarily incompatible with nationalism and nation-building. Ethnicity and nationalism both play a role in nation-state formation. They are each functional to political stability and, therefore, to civil peace and to the ability of individual Nigerians to pursue their non-political goals. Ethnicity is functional to political stability because it provides the basis for political socialization and for popular allegiance to political actors. It provides the framework within which patronage is institutionalized and related to traditional forms of welfare within a state which is itself unable to provide such benefits to its subjects.

Okon Senior Lecturer Department of Religious and Cultural Studies University of Calabar Calabar, Nigeria Email: [email protected] Phone: +2348038025231 ABSTRACT This paper examines critically the religious dimension of political decisions and policies in the Babangida era. It is obvious that religion was manipulated in the Babangida era as a major influence and determinant of public policy. The negative impact of the manipulation of religion for political purposes is still lingering in the horizon. Religion was not only bastardized, but was reasonably politicized and contaminated. Babangida used religion to obtain legitimacy and consolidate his grip on political power. KEYWORDS: Religion, Islam, politics, Nigeria, Babangida INTRODUCTION Religion is an indispensable factor in nation building. Historically, Christianity and Islam have contributed immensely to the socio-political development of Nigeria. Both religions, at one time and another have acted as harbingers of civilization and “… the fountain of morality in our social evolution” (Kalu, 1980:317, 318). Though exotic, from the point of view of origin, Islam and Christianity have so permeated the Nigerian culture and society, that they have unconsciously assumed the status of an indigenous faith in some communities. That is true of Islam in northern Nigeria and Christianity in the south. Majority of Nigerian people see themselves either as Christians or Muslims. An insignificant proportion identifies themselves as votaries of traditional religions.

    OPERATION AURE Page 1 of 67 OPERATION 'AURE’: The Northern Military Counter-Rebellion of July 1966 By Nowa Omoigui BACKGROUND In the early hours of January 15, 1966, citing a laundry list of complaints against the political class, there was a military rebellion in Nigeria against the first republic [http://www.dawodu.com/nzeogwu2.htm]. Led by a group of Majors who were predominantly of eastern origin, the Prime Minister, a federal minister, two regional premiers, along with top Army officers were brutally assassinated. A number of civilians were also killed. [http://www.gamji.com/NEWS1103.htm] The coup succeeded in Kaduna the northern region capital, failed in Lagos the federal capital and Ibadan the western regional capital, but barely took place in Benin the midwestern capital, and Enugu the eastern capital. The majority of those murdered were northerners, accompanied by some westerners and two Midwesterners. No easterner lost his or her life. On January 16, rather than approve the appointment of Zanna Bukar Dipcharima, a politician of northern origin, as acting Prime Minister, the acting President, Nwafor Orizu, himself of eastern origin, handed over power to Major-General JTU Aguiyi- Ironsi, the GOC of the Nigerian Army, also of eastern origin. This was allegedly at the behest of the rump cabinet, allegedly to enable Ironsi put down the revolt which, as of then, had already failed in southern Nigeria. Until it became apparent recently in separate testimony by Alhaji Shehu Shagari and Chief Richard Akinjide, it had always been publicly assumed in the lay Press that the hand-over was voluntary although unconstitutional - since no such provision existed in the Nigerian constitution.

  • Reporting of Safety Issues And/Or Such Issues That
    REPORTING OF SAFETY ISSUES AND/OR SUCH ISSUES THAT COULD LEAD TO POWER INTERRUPTIONS ON DISTRIBUTION NETWORK The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) in carrying out its objectives in accordance with Section 32(1) of the Electric Power Sector Reform (EPSR) Act, 2005 is specifically mandated under Section 32(1)(b) & (e) respectively, to maximize access to electricity services, by promoting and facilitating consumer connections to distribution systems in both rural and urban areas as well as to ensure the safety, security, reliability and quality of service in the production and delivery of electricity to consumers. Section 81(b) of the EPSR Act further empowers the Commission to develop in consultation with licensees and other interested parties, such technical codes and manuals as may be required for the safe, reliable, and efficient operation of the distribution system. Pursuant to the above provisions and in response to the significant number of customer complaints received regarding issues related to safe delivery of electricity supply to customers, especially to clusters, the Commission considered it necessary to create a platform for monitoring and ensuring the quick resolution of such complaints through enforcement of extant Regulations as mandated. Consequently, the Commission wishes to give the following guidance to Communities with issues of safety that may hinder the smooth delivery of electricity supply. 1. Communities that experience power supply challenges on safety grounds (e.g. Sagged Conductors, Tilted Poles, Unfenced Substations/Exposed Feeder Pillars, wrongful use of Solid Link fuses, Vegetation on Lines & Substation, Partial Contact/Arcing on Joints, Cobwebs, etc.), except if informed by the Disco, should immediately contact the Distribution Company through the following Safety Officers of various Discos (as applicable) for resolution.
