  • Buhari Presidency and Federal Character in Nigeria: a Human Needs Theory Perspective
    Science Arena Publications International Journal of Philosophy and Social-Psychological Sciences Available online at www.sciarena.com 2017, Vol, 3 (1): 74-90 Buhari Presidency and Federal Character in Nigeria: A Human Needs Theory Perspective Eme, Okechukwu Innocent1, Okeke, Martins Ifeanyi2 1Department of Public Administration and Local Government University of Nigeria, Nsukka Email: [email protected] 2Department of Political Science, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka Abstract: The broad objective of this study is to examine the problems of imbalance in our national life between/ among states and ethnic/religious groups in relation to the recent appointments made by the Buhari Presidency on diversity in Nigeria. This is because those from the Southern part of Nigeria have continued to express concern over the appointments made so far by President Muhammadu Buhari. They posit that the appointments were lopsided and not in the best interest of the country. President Buhari is from Katsina State, Senate President Bukola Saraki and House of Representatives Speaker, Yakubu Dogara are from Kwara and Bauchi states respectively. The judiciary is led by Justice Mahmud Mohammed from Taraba State. Of the seventeen appointments made by Buhari so far, seventeen are from the North, while five are from the South. The appointments, however, drew the ire of Nigerians who asked Buhari to respect the country’s principle of federal character. Already, the Internet, particularly the social media and blogs, are agog with reactions and counter-reactions on the matter. For those who are opposed to his appointments so far, they smack of tribalism, nepotism, religious bigotry and a pointer to his ill- motivated aspiration to Islamize the country, which must be resisted.

  • Socio-Ecological Metabolisms of Eko Atlantic City, Lagos, Nigeria: an Unjust City?
    Socio-Ecological Metabolisms of Eko Atlantic City, Lagos, Nigeria: An Unjust City? Joseph Adeniran Adedeji Department of Architecture, Federal University of Technology, Akure, Nigeria Abstract My aim in this paper is to examine the socio-ecological metabolisms involved in the production processes of Eko Atlantic City (EAC) in Lagos, Nigeria with a view to suggesting an adaptable metabolism framework based on political ecology. This is consequent upon the continually perceived ailments of this capitalist urbanisation project on the majority poor populace. Results suggest the major components of the framework to include capitalism, neoliberalism, authoritarianism, class differentiation, socio-spatial segregation, and socio-ecological disorganisation, all in the name of climate change adaptation. It concludes by advocating for strategies for framing a truly democratic and inclusive urban governance at EAC. What is the city and what forces frame its identity? Developmental mega-city projects can illuminate our understanding and guide a re-thinking of the actual meaning of the city. An evaluation of the process of recovering the ocean space to construct the 10-million square meter Eko Atlantic City (EAC) in Lagos, Nigeria, can help us redefine the city with the lenses of political ecology and social justice. The EAC is a large-scale urbanisation project that leaves a plethora of questions in inquisitive minds, especially given the project’s lopsided proceeds destined for the upper class. It has been christened a climate change adaptation project, but the larger quest borders on adaptation for whom? The discourse in the paper is structured in three parts to answer the following questions: 1) what is the socio-ecological inclusiveness of this oceanscape before the inception of EAC; 2) what are the dominant narratives in the literature on the Urban Socio-Ecological Metabolisms (USEM) that continue to trail the conception and birth of EAC; and 3) to what extent has EAC charted the course for a new urban vocabulary beyond neoliberalism to produce a new USEM framework.
