Abstract:

One can say with certainty that all the contradictions that had bedeviled previous democratic experiments in Nigeria were present and magnified in the February 27, 1999 election: divided loyalties, manipulation of primordial identities and loyalties, corruption and other election malpractices, lack of political discipline, and limited attention to serious structural questions.Why did Chief Olu Falae lose the election to General Olusegun Obasanjo? Several reasons can be advanced. First, Obasanjo’s People’s Democratic Party (PDP) clearly had more money. Obasanjo was able to donate N 130 million

Abstract:

This paper examined the legislative/executive brouhaha and Nigeria’s foreign policy, 1999 – 2007. The restoration of democratic rule in May, 1999 was a watershed in Nigeria's foreign policy. A new constitutional democracy headed by Chief Olusegun Obasanjo was born and the symbol of democracy, the legislation at both the national and sub – national levels was constituted. The premonition that Nigeria might once again bounce back to prominent global reckoning was obvious from the volume of goodwill that General Abubakar's transition programme generated in the country with the enthronement of Chi

Abstract:

Abstract This study investigates conflict-motivated pragmatic acts employed in the open letters exchanged by two former Nigerian presidents (Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan). The data are analysed using Mey’s pragmatic act theory. The findings reveal that while Obasanjo employs pragmatic acts of warning, appealing, and praising in order to counsel Jonathan, Jonathan employs pragmatic acts of acknowledging, boasting, correcting, and reminding in order to defend himself. However, they both employ the pragmatic acts of insulting, complaining, accusing, and requesting. These acts are influ

Abstract:

This study critically examines Olusegun Obasanjo's My Watch through the lens of face management, focusing on the strategic interplay of Face-Threatening Acts (FTAs) and Face-Saving Acts (FSAs). By analysing several randomly extracted utterances from the text, the research explores how Obasanjo employs language to navigate conflict and diplomacy. His use of FTAs establishes authority and challenges. However, these acts often risk alienating the audience, highlighting the complexities of political discourse. The findings revealed a balance between conflict and diplomacy, demonstrating how langua

Abstract:

This paper explores the deployment of conceptual metaphors in the memoir of former president Olusegun Obasanjo, examining how metaphorical affordances shape expressions and their purported meanings. Through a discourse analysis of the memoir, My Watch, the research shows how metaphors drawn from the second volume of the memoir create vivid description of the faces and phases of leadership through the author’s lens. The study relies on George Lakoff and Mark Johnson’s Conceptual Metaphor Theory. The paper discusses the faces and phases of leadership in volume two of former president Olusegun Ob

Abstract:

The paper sets out to investigate the discourse strategies deployed by former President Olusegun Obasanjo in his open letter to President Jonathan on December 12, 2013 which was published in most of the nation’s major newspapers. The work adopts M.A.K Halliday’s Systemic Functional Grammar as its theoretical framework because of the great importance which the model attaches to meanings and functions of a linguistic expression in relation to its context of usage. The researchers, through content and qualitative analysis, identify the discourse strategies used by the encoder of the speech to hav

Abstract:

The emergence of President Olusegun Obasanjo in 1999 as the president of Nigeria marked a significant transition from military rule to democratic rule, the image of the country have been battered in the international arena due to military dictatorship, hence the president have to concentrate on rebuilding the image of Nigeria. Nigeria's Afrocentrism, rooted in its post-independence policy under Prime Minister Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, has consistently placed Africa at the center of its foreign policy. The paper explores Nigeria's Afrocentric foreign policy, focusing on the administration of
