Ihebuzor Department of Mass Communication Lead City University, Ibadan, Nigeria [email protected] +2348033419512 Abstract Every rational being communicates to be able to live with other members of the society. This paper discusses the relationship between communication and socialization, and agrees that communication and socialization interwovenly are the processes of interaction and learning that commence from birth and continue to adulthood thereby aiding social learning. It is through communication that a person goes through socialization which enables a person to acquire and internalize the culture and value of the society. This paper therefore is an attempt to explain how and why people acquire, learn and practice the expected norms, values and ethics of social groups to which they belong. Key Words: Communication, Socialization, Culture, Social and Cultural Continuity. Introduction Communication Humbagda (2000) cited in Ihebuzor (2014:1) says that The English word ―communication‖ is derived from we live in a world of communication. the Latin noun “communis‖ and the Latin verb Communication influences all our actions. We learn ―communicare‖ that means ―to make common‖ how to think, feel and judge through the aid of (Hasan, 2014:2). So when we communicate, we seek communication. The sharing of intention, experience to make things in common in an attempt to increase and wisdom are possible by communication. our shared knowledge. Relations, conflicts, disagreements are inevitable The most widely accepted definitions of human phenomena. These are however managed communication, according to Folarin (1998:1), Is that effectively through communication. Indeed, communication is: communication is an essential attribute of human the sharing or exchange of ideas, and existence. It is a condition for the operations of meanings, a two-way process in which the human society. It would be right to suggest that at all participants constantly exchange positions as levels of human organization; communication is an sender and receiver, and not a one way essential tool for accomplishing societal goals and process in which one person is the sender all objectives. This means that communication remains the time and the other is or are the receiving the only phenomenon upon which the totality of end all the time. social and cultural experiences are founded. The According to James, Ode, and Soola (2006:2) urge for human interaction is necessitated by man‖s communication touches every sphere of human multifaceted needs, which include among others, the activities.

    Nigerian Foreign Policy: a Fourth Republic Diplomatic Escapade

    Journal of Siberian Federal University. Humanities & Social Sciences 4 (2016 9) 708-721 ~ ~ ~ УДК 323.3(669) Nigerian Foreign Policy: a Fourth Republic Diplomatic Escapade Ebenezer Ejalonibu Lawala and Opeyemi Idowu Alukob* aFederal University Lokoja Kogi State Nigeria bUniversity of Ilorin Kwara State Nigeria Received 14.11.2015, received in revised form 02.12.2015, accepted 19.03.2016 Foreign policy is unpredictable and has no specific domestic or international boundary. The scope is not static; issues in foreign policy are continuous. Therefore, no government consciously design her foreign policy outlook, the focus of any foreign policy would depend heavily on events in and around the nation and Nigeria is not an exception. The concept of Africa as the centre-piece of Nigerian’s foreign policy has emerged as the most consistent theme that runs through her foreign policies in all the various regimes. Foreign policy of Nigeria could be called a three concentric circle, this concentric circle clearly puts Nigeria’s interest first, West African Sub-region second and then the rest of Africa. It is very crucial to note that between 1960 and 1990, eighteen civil wars in Africa resulted in about 7 million deaths and spawned 5 million refugees. Nigeria cannot ignore Africa’s problems rather she must maintain the principle of Afrocentrism. This is so because; one out of every five Africans is a Nigerian. This paper therefore seeks to critically analyze the core issues in Nigerian foreign policy and challenges facing Nigerian foreign policy in the fourth republic, some recommendations will also be suggested. Keywords: Foreign Policy, Diplomacy, United Nation, Africa and Nigeria.

    Le Nigeria Et La Suisse, Des Affaires D'indépendance

    STEVE PAGE Le Nigeria et la Suisse, des affaires d’indépendance Commerce, diplomatie et coopération 1930–1980 PETER LANG Analyser les rapports économiques et diplomatiques entre le Nigeria et la Suisse revient à se pencher sur des méca- nismes peu connus de la globalisation: ceux d’une relation Nord-Sud entre deux puissances moyennes et non colo- niales. Pays le plus peuplé d’Afrique, le Nigeria semblait en passe de devenir, à l’aube de son indépendance, une puissance économique continentale. La Suisse, comme d’autres pays, espérait profiter de ce vaste marché promis à une expansion rapide. Entreprises multinationales, diplo- mates et coopérants au développement sont au centre de cet ouvrage, qui s’interroge sur les motivations, les moyens mis en œuvre et les impacts des activités de chacun. S’y ajoutent des citoyens suisses de tous âges et de tous mi- lieux qui, bouleversés par les images télévisées d’enfants squelettiques durant la « Guerre du Biafra » en 1968, en- treprirent des collectes de fonds et firent pression sur leur gouvernement pour qu’il intervienne. Ce livre donne une profondeur éclairante aux relations Suisse – Nigeria, ré- cemment médiatisées sur leurs aspects migratoires, ou sur les pratiques opaques de négociants en pétrole établis en Suisse.

    Rethinking Elite Transformation in Contemporary Nigeria

    Afro Asian Journal of Social Sciences Volume 5, No. 5.1 Quarter I 2014 ISSN: 2229 – 5313 RETHINKING ELITE TRANSFORMATION IN CONTEMPORARY NIGERIA Paul O. Julius Ph.D. Candidate at Kingston University, Surrey in London, U. K. ABSTRACT Elitism has become a serious topic of academic discussion in the developing world, largely to its link with conflict and insecurity in some states. Recent scholarships on elite-security nexus has suggested that the escalation of most violent conflicts in Africa can be traced to elite’s (in)action. This article forms part of a broader research agenda investigating the linkage between the Nigerian political elite and national insecurity. The article assesses and challenges the elitist view that articulates and upholds the dominance of the military elite among other elite groups in contemporary Nigeria, despite the country now under a civilian dispensation since 1999. The findings posits that while retired military ‘Generals’ have been conspicuous in every facets of Nigerian politics due to their power and influence accumulated under several years of military authoritarianism; there is an emergence of other elites who have become relevant and domineering in the politics of the country. Keywords: Economic Renewal, Elite Theory, Nigeria, Military Retirees, Political Elite. INTRODUCTION By mid-1999, years of military rule gave way to a civilian democratic dispensation in Nigeria. This period of a new political dispensation herein referred to as ‘recivilianized Nigeria’ because the state was briefly under a previous civilian administration in 1979- 1983; brought about the emergence of a retired military ‘General’ as the new civilian president and Head-of-State in person of Olusegun Obasanjo.

Security—key endogenous and exogenous challenges, including Boko Haram and electricity and food shortages. ! The Energy Sector—specifically who owns Nigeria’s mineral resources and how these resources are exploited. ! Defense—an overview of Nigeria’s impressive military capabilities, FIGURE 1: Administrative Map of Nigeria (Nations Online Project). rooted in its colonial past. As Africa’s most populous country, Nigeria is central to the continent’s development, which is why the current security and risk situation is of mounting concern. Nigeria faces many challenges in the 21st century as it tries to accommodate its rising, and very young, population. Its principal security concerns in 2014 and the immediate future are two-fold—threats from Islamist groups, specifically Boko Haram, and from criminal organizations that engage in oil smuggling in the Niger Delta (costing the Nigerian exchequer vast sums of potential oil revenue) and in drug smuggling and human trafficking in the North.1 The presence of these actors has an impact across Nigeria, with the bloody, violent, and frenzied terror campaign of Boko Haram, which is claiming thousands of lives annually, causing a refugee and internal displacement crises. Nigerians increasingly have to seek refuge to avoid Boko Haram and military campaigns against these insurgents.

    Nigeria: Obasanjo Backs Lamido/Amaechi Ticket for 2015

    Nigeria: Obasanjo Backs Lamido/Amaechi Ticket for 2015 Written by Administrator Thursday, 23 August 2012 09:29 Ahead of political horse trading over who become the presidential and vice presidential candidates of the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in 2015, indications emerged last night that former President Olusegun Obasanjo is backing Jigawa State Governor Sule Lamido and his Rivers State counterpart Rotimi Amaechi for the coveted positions respectively. A source close to Obasanjo also confided in LEADERSHIP that the former president is now drumming support for a power shift to the North on the grounds that the region deserves the development. The source, who sought anonymity because of the sensitive nature of the matter, added that Lamido and Amaechi will slug it out with President Goodluck Jonathan and Vice -President Namadi Sambo if Jonathan decides to contest the 2015 poll. He said, "I can authoritatively tell you that Baba (Obasanjo) has thrown his weight behind Lamido/Amaechi ticket for 2015. He is of the opinion that the duo will put in place a dynamic government for positive development. The two governors, you will agree with me, are delivering the dividends of democracy to the people of their states. 1 / 3 Nigeria: Obasanjo Backs Lamido/Amaechi Ticket for 2015 Written by Administrator Thursday, 23 August 2012 09:29 "You will recall that Obasanjo was the mastermind of the late Umaru Yar Adua-Goodluck Jonathan ticket in 2007 when it became clear that the third term agenda had flopped and this was done at the expense of former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai who had been endorsed by the technocrats that served in his second term.
