Analysis of the Nature and Patterns of Banditry in Northwest Nigeria

In the northwestern regionthe nucleus of the phenomenon of banditry in the country, devastating attacks by bandits on rural communities has taken many forms; such that a specific and concise categorization of the phenomenon has been rather elusive. This paper examines the nature and patterns of banditry in Nigeria with a view to gaining a deeper understanding of the phenomenon. The paper begins by examining the conceptual and historical contexts of the phenomenon. It then goes on to demonstrate how given the socioeconomic and political character of banditry, the state is complicit in the construction and interpretation of the phenomenon. Finally, the paper argues that, to effectively address the phenomenon of banditry, a deliberate process of "social reengineering" which address the socioeconomic and political factors that have spawned the phenomenon is crucial.

Zoning; as these agitations have been labeled has been presented as a convenient arrangement towards giving the Northern and Southern parts of Nigeria equal opportunities for the Presidency. Yet, such an arrangement amounts to the institutionalization of regionalism and ethnic nationalism problems which contributed to the collapse of the First Republic. This paper is a critical examination of the agitations for zoning the Presidency in Nigeria; and its implications for the nation-state project in the country. The paper examines the voting behavior of Nigerians as an indication of the exigency of zoning for the country. Evidence from past election results are used to establish zoning as likely to have mixed results for the nation-state project; and the development of a Nigerian nationalism. Finally, the paper emphasizes the need for an inclusive approach to national issues as the basis for engendering Nigerian nationalism.

State, Youth and Electoral Violence in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic: The Imperative of a Nationally Cordinated Youth Empowerment Program

From the plains up north to the creeks in the south, Nigeria’s electoral process within the past decade has been mired in violence so much as to make mockery of the democratization process. A lot of works (Bangura: 1997, Momoh: 2000, Yau: 2000) have studied how Nigeria’s economic crisis and the attendant structural adjustment programme of the 1980s resulted in the alienation and marginalization of the youth, thereby exacerbating the whole phenomenon of youth restiveness in general. However, very few works have attempted to study the relationship between competition for political power and youth restiveness under the current “democratic era”. This paper is an effort in this regard. With insights from the situation in Rivers and Gombe state, the paper demonstrates how the electoral process has been subverted by hijacking the state machinery and through the exploitation of the youtha process which has served as an impetus for the escalation of not only electoral violence but youth restiveness in general. Finally the paper advocates for a comprehensive nationally coordinated youth empowerment programme as a viable panacea for arresting the negative trend of youth restiveness in general. Key terms: State, Youth and Electoral violence. A paper presented at the International Conference on the Nigerian Youth, Political Participation and National Development.

A Comparative Study of Globalization and Democratic Consolidation in Ghana and Nigeria (1990-2008)

This paper is a comparative study of the external linkages and regime trajectories of Ghana and Nigeria; within the period 1990-2008. Evidence gathered on both countries substantiates the propositions that: the more a peripheral state derives huge revenues from commodity export, the more it will be able to exercise a significant degree of independence by resisting external pressure to imbibe liberal democratic values and vice versa. Similarly, the higher a peripheral country’s aid per capita from the core, the more such a country is likely to consolidate its transition to democracy. Thus, while the low level of democratic consolidation in Nigeria can partly be explained by the huge revenues from oil and very little aid dependency, the comparatively higher level of democratic consolidatio...
