  • Tourism Readiness, Investment Promotion, Economic Growth and Development in South East Nigeria: an Expose and Proposal
    Tourism Readiness, Investment Promotion, Economic Growth and Development in South East Nigeria: An Expose and Proposal By Chukwuemeka U. Okoye Department of Agricultural Economic University of Nigeria, Nsukka Introduction Up until 1966, the economy of then Eastern Nigeria was one of the fastest growing in the world, finding peers among Malaysia, Indonesia and Brazil, etc. By then, Eastern Nigeria dominated both commerce and the Federal bureaucracy in Nigeria. Today, South East Nigeria is a much smaller enclave, encompassing a geographical space made up of five states (Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Abia and Ebonyi) and exclusively inhabited by the Igbo, relative to the former Eastern Nigeria, which included the Efik, Ibibio, and Ijaw of Cross River, Rivers, and Bayelsa states. Economic growth in the South East has contracted to the extent that it is now attributed with the least aggregate Gross State Product in Nigeria (of N754.40bn). Again, ranking of Nigerian states by ease of doing business has seen the South East States at the bottom of the ladder. The concerns about lack of investments, which largely inform the regular expression of concern by individuals, group and institutions in the zone (Ohanaeze Ndi Igbo, South East Economic Summit Group, and South East Nigeria Economic Commission) include the poor state of employment, low industrial development, insecurity, dearth of critical infrastructure among others. Reasons for this are economic, social, political and otherwise, but it does appear, as indeed many may know, that we should look more closely at what made Eastern Nigeria, particularly the Igbo Nation of the present South East Zone so vibrant before 1966, and what happened to it during and after the Civil War of 1966-1970.

  • 126 the Travails of the Igbo Ethnic Group in Nigeria
    126 THE TRAVAILS OF THE IGBO ETHNIC GROUP IN NIGERIA AND THE INDISPENSABILITY OF THE TRADITIONAL SOCIO-CULTURAL PRACTICES IN THE RESTORATION OF THE MUCH-NEEDED UNITY Chidi Mike Amaechi Department of History and International Studies, University of Nigeria, Nsukka Enugu State, Nigeria. Abstract The Igbo ethnic group in Nigeria has been groaning under the colossal weight of injustice, criminal neglect and institutional marginalization especially since the end of the Nigerian Civil War. This is more apparent in the composition of the military, political appointments, provision of social amenities and infrastructure, and choice of official policies. The psychological effect is even more traumatizing and debilitating. In a state of confusion, despair, and hopelessness, the average Igbo person is politically disoriented and manipulated and the age-long flaunted culture of ‘unity of purpose’ has been abandoned together with the traditional socio-cultural practices that anchored the people’s high moral standards and unsullied sense of dignity. Moreover, at the detriment of Igbo group interest, the political elite now revel in selfish individualism as a result of inferiority complex and have not been able to, early enough, analyze situations and take a firm stand on issues, as each situation demands. In support of the view that the marginalization of the Igbo stems largely from internal disunity, and in addition to other views on the solution to this problem of Igbo disunity, it is the position of this paper that the revival of those traditional socio-political cum cultural institutions and values which sustained the bonds of Igbo unity in the face of the seemingly acephalous and segmented nature of the people, would go a long way in restoring this much-needed unity.

  • Mea Risk's Nigeria Weekly Threat
    Politics/Social 3 MEA RISK’S Economic Issues 8 Security Issues 12 NIGERIA WEEKLY THREAT & STABILITY ASSESSMENT 31 OCTOBER TO 6 NOVEMBER 2016 HIGHLIGHTS For the period of 31 October to 6 November 2016, there were 74 critical incidents in Nigeria, resulting in at least 111 recorded deaths, 79 wounded, and Nigeria MEA Risk index 105 arrests. The highest share of incidents fell in the criminality category, which gathered over 32% of the incident pool during the week, followed by nearly 19% by the Human & Social Crises category. On the political front, Nigeria is confronted with multiple challenges, dominated this past week by the rejection by many militant groups in the Niger Delta of the ongoing negotiations between the Federal Government and political representatives of the oil producing regions. Militants involved in attacking oil sites and facilities, mainly pipeline, as well as civil organizations active in oil producing regions rejected the talks and refuse to endorse the negotiators selected to represent them. Also on the political front, the Federal Government has been facing growing opposition to its request to obtain a financial bailout from the IMF and the World Bank valued at nearly $30 billion. Not only the international donors insist that Nigeria undergoes a substantial structural adjustments that will inevitably lead to a major austerity plan, but the Nigerian assembly also rejected President Buhari’s request stating precisely that the impact of such a loan program will be devastating to the population. On the security front, Nigeria continues to be confronted with severe security problems. Despite the Nigerian military often insisting that it won the war against Boko Haram, there have persistent attacks from Boko Haram militants in the northeast, with daring incidents this week in Malam Fatori and in Talala and Ajigin, in the southern part of Borno State, resulting in scores of dead.
