Abstract:

A sober reflection or speculation on African leadership portrays the practice of authentic democracy as a perennial problem in Nigeria and in African continent. Democratic/electoral process is where citizens choose representatives in government by means of free, fair, contested and regularly scheduled elections and where adults have the right to vote and their votes count. But Nigerian democracy lacks basic trust. It is really a universal problem but Africans and Nigerians in particular got larger portion as our democratic practice is very poor. The citizens should be the starting point and fo

Abstract:

Ethnicity is a very salient issue in Nigeria. It is highly mobilized and contested especially with regards to access to resources, opportunities, rights and responsibilities within the Nigerian state. This paper adopts a socio-historical methodology to examine the roots of ethnicity, and the implications for democracy and development in Nigeria. A social constructionist approach is adopted to show the constructed and open ended nature of ethnicity. The paper reveals that ethnicity was a colonial creation which has been reconstructed over time to reflect changing perceptions, aspirations and co

Abstract:

The significance of television as a mobilisation medium is widely acknowledged on a global scale. African Independent Television's (AIT) "Democracy Today" programme holds a prominent position as a political, social, and economic show and is considered one of the flagship programs on Nigerian television. This study aims to explore the public perception of AIT's "Democracy Today" programme in its role in promoting Nigeria's democracy.

Democracy as a concept has become a common term among the generality of Nigerian citizens as a result of its frequent usage in the media. Although in the real sense of it, it has brought little dividends to Nigerians. In spite of its popular acceptance as the most favourable form of government in the world, the media in Nigeria has portrayed democracy in an uninspiring manner because of the greed, corruption and nepotism of Nigerian politicians thereby making the political communication of democracy as government of the people by the people and for the people unimpressive.

Abstract:

There are several studies on Nigeria’s democracy. However, such academic inquiries have not debated whether the last twenty-five years of democracy are a reality or a sham. This study was conducted to fill the knowledge gap that the existing literature has created. Using secondary sources consistently with interdisciplinary methods, the study delves into the history of democracy in Nigeria. It analysed the benefits of democracy in Nigerian society in the previous twenty- five years. The infelicities linked with the practice of democracy in Nigeria during the time under evaluation are also espo

Abstract:

In the contemporary world, democracy remains the most preferred form of government and the basis for fulfilling government responsibilities to the citizens. Hence, Nigerians home and abroad expressed Joy and great expectations as President Olusegun Obasanjo was sworn in as an elected President on 29 May 1999 marking the return to Democracy and the end of military rule in Africa's most populous nation. Nigerians expected that the return to Democracy will usher in an era of justice, fairness, inclusiveness, accountability in the conduct of the affairs of the nation, and massive infrastructur

Abstract:

Since Nigeria’s independence in 1960, the country has continuously been confronted with among other issues, the problem of a weak and unjust social structure resulting in widespread social injustice. It is at the root of most of the crises and social malaise of the Nigerian society and is made more serious by the problems associated with ethnicity and arbitrariness by the state and government. Part of the resultant effects of this weak structure include unjust public institutions and social, ethnic, religious and political crises due mainly to a lack of social cohesion, political integration a

Abstract:

The Niger Delta militancy ravaged the Nigerian upstream petroleum sector between 2004-2009, bringing it to a standstill. In response, the Nigerian state adopted an amnesty policy―a globally recognized tool for conflict resolution and peacebuilding―to protect the sector and the economy from collapse. Little is known, however, about the unintended consequences of the amnesty implementation for the Nigerian upstream petroleum sector. Thus, the purpose of this study was to fill this gap in the research literature on the Niger Delta amnesty program. Polarity management was the conceptual framework

Particular attention is given from 1973 to 2003, a period after the civil war, when the Federal Government became fully involved in managing primary and secondary schools (taking over schools from missions and private owners) up to 2003 when the first successful democratic transition took place.
