  • Media Framing of Super Eagles' Performance and Effect on Fans
    Africa Media Review, Volume 19, Numbers 1&2, 2011, pp. 27–47 © Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa, 2013 (ISSN 0258-4913) Problematising, Blaming, Moralising, and Recommending: Media Framing of Super Eagles’ Performance and Effect on Fans Chuka Onwumechili* Abstract This study investigates frames that the Nigerian media use in analysing performance of the Nigerian national soccer team’s performance during eight football tournaments since 2000 – two World Cup finals and six African Nations Cup finals. The study investigates two questions – one designed to identify frames used by the media in analysing the team’s performance and the second investigating whether those frames align with schema used by fans. The method involves analysing 78 online media reports of the team’s performance at the eight tournaments and 32 discussion threads posted by the team’s fans on a board Eagles Nest hosted by the website Cybereagles.com. The study finds that the media use various frames and devices, including the following: various blame targets, distancing, dismissal of responsible persons, use of locally-based players, and hiring competent coaches to assess the performance of the national soccer team. Those frames were found to largely resonate with fans on Eagles Nest but the report also notes cases of non-alignment. Key Terms: Media framing, media effects, agenda-setting, problematising, blaming, moralising, Super Eagles, Cybereagles.com, Eagles Nest. Résumé Cette étude explore des différentes approches des medias nigérians dans l’analyse de la performance de l’équipe nationale de football depuis 2000. Ceci concerne deux qualificationsà la Coupe du monde et six en Coupe d’Afrique des nations.

  • Critical Reflections on Big Brother Naija As Popular Culture
    CALL FOR PAPERS Critical Reflections on Big Brother Naija as Popular Culture Contributions are invited for an edited book on Big Brother Naija as Popular Culture in Nigeria. Abstracts and contributions must be written in English and in a style accessible to a wide audience. Please submit abstracts to: [email protected] Abstracts no later than 30th November 2020 Editors Prof. Christopher Isike University of Pretoria, South Africa [email protected] Dr. Olusola Ogunnubi Carleton University, Canada / University of the Free State, South Africa [email protected] Mr Ogochukwu Ukwueze University of Nigeria, Nsukka Nigeria [email protected] Rationale Big Brother Naija (BBN) is the Nigerian version of the Big Brother franchise which concept is drawn from George Orwell’s novel, 1984, and is featured in more than 50 countries of the world. Although organised and starred by Nigerians, BBN is viewed in many parts of the world. As a reality TV show, BBN belongs to the category of human production called Popular Culture, which Ogude and Nyairo (2007, 7) define as consisting of “creativity which is not elite, unofficial and urban”. Indeed, Popular Culture often reflects the taste of the common people and gauges the tempo of prevailing social reality. In essence, it is the site of engagement with the temperament of a society. This makes BBN, as part of Nigeria’s popular culture, a credible platform to engage and understand Nigeria, its peoples and culture better. The Season Five (Lockdown Edition) of the BBN ended on 27 September 2020, with Mr Olamilekan Agbeleshe (Laycon) as the winner.

  • Exploring the Factors Responsible for Executive-Legislature Conflicts in Nigeria
    Okechukwu I. Eme, Ikechukwu Asadu 2017 JOURNAL OF SECURITY STUDIES AND GLOBAL POLITICS Volume: 2 www.sciplatform.com/jssgp Issue: 1 ISSN (Online) 2519-9609 ISSN (Print) 2519-9617 EXPLORING THE FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR EXECUTIVE-LEGISLATURE CONFLICTS IN NIGERIA Okechukwu I. Eme*, Ikechukwu Asadu Department of Public Administration and Local Government, University of Nigeria, Nsukka *Corresponding email address: [email protected] The objective of the paper is to explore the factors contributing to the conflicts between the Legislature and Executive branches using Nigeria as a case between1999-2015. This is because Nigerians across social strata lament over the huge cost of this conflict in the polity. Throughout the history of the Nigerian Government, public officials, political practitioners, journalists, scholars, and other observers have commented on legislative-executive relations, their variation, and their underlying causes and consequences. A wide variety of viewpoints has been expressed, about both conflict and cooperation, whether one or the other dominates, and whether benefits or liabilities result from either. Some, for instance, see conflict between the executive and legislature as a necessary and beneficial precondition to limiting and controlling government. Yet others view it as contributing to gridlock over major public policy decisions, thus, making government ineffective. This paper is part of the debate. The data for this study were generated from Focus Group Discussion and documentary sources. Information generated was analyzed using tables and the technique of content analysis. Conclusions arrived after analyses include budgetary and constituency project issues are the major casual factors. Key word: Executive-Legislature Relations, Separation of Powers, Democratic Conflicts in Nigeria, Political Institutions & Nigeria.

  • Political Party Rebellion, Legislative Politics and Balance of Power in The
    Global Journal of HUMAN-SOCIAL SCIENCE: F Political Science Volume 16 Issue 1 Version 1.0 Year 2016 Type: Double Blind Peer Reviewed International Research Journal Publisher: Global Journals Inc. (USA) Online ISSN: 2249-460x & Print ISSN: 0975-587X Political Party Rebellion, Legislative Politics and Balance of Power in the 8th National Assembly of Nigeria By Peter Mbah & Anthony Egobueze University of Nigeria, Nigeria Abstract- The issue of equitable power sharing in the All Progressives Congress (APC) controlled federal legislature has been very contentious in the 8th National Assembly of Nigeria. This paper analyses the legislative politics and politics of office distribution in Nigeria focusing on how elite struggles for power and influence shape the internal conflicts and implementation of zoning principles in the National Assembly. Legislatures evolve and develop internally in reaction to broader political environment. Zoning and rotation principle are part of a democratic culture used to address the problems inherent in a plural society of underdeveloped states. The zoning principle is structured to deliberately ensure some degree of diversity. This is indispensable to the maintenance of the Nigerian State due to its diversity in ethnicity, religion, language, education, etc. This article analyses the conflicts arising from an attempt to change the zoning principle and office distribution imbedded in the federal character principle in Nigeria. It focuses on how elite struggle for power and money shape the conception, implementation, and continuity of zoning of offices and positions in order to maintain ethnic balancing. The article adopts a methodology involving qualitative research based on a review of published literature.
