Nigerian Politics - All That Nigeria Has!
Nigeria is one of the largest countries in Africa and also one of the most populous ones on the continent. Although violence and high levels of crime still tend to dominate the country's image, this seems more of an exaggeration and rumor when it comes to practically checking the country out. Tourism is increasing in the country as the political situation is calming and economy is growing at a fast pace. Nigeria has been enlisted amongst the ‘Next Eleven' economies which ensure its rapid development and increase demands for Nigeria flights all around the globe. The discovery of oil is one of the leading contributors to the country's economy and also one of the major

Nigerian Politics - Women and Violence
Violence affects the lives of millions of women worldwide, in all socio-economic and educational classes. It cuts across cultural and religious barriers, impeding the right of women to participate fully in society. Violence against women takes a dismaying variety of forms, from domestic abuse and rape to child marriages and female circumcision. All are violations of the most fundamental human rights. In a statement to the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in September 1995, the United Nations Secretary-General, Boutros Boutros-Ghali, said that violence against women is a universal problem that must be universally condemned. But he said that the problem

This was because the regional politics made the central government very weak and on the other hand, made the dominant ethnic groups to pay more allegiance to the regional governments than the centre. It was after the abolition of the regional divisions that Nigerian ethnic groups begin to live and interact with others on states level.
The first generation of states created was twelve and the Benue as a state was carved under Benue-Plateau.

And if your confusion multiplies then you may well now be in a position to marginally comprehend the confusion Deltans have been into since 1999. The two sarcasms, which those phrases actually are, sadly represent the true face of governance in Delta.

LUKPATA, VICTOR IKONG (Ph.D)
ABSTRACT
At its height in the early 20th century the British Empire included about one quarter of the World's population and land surface. Emerging gradually from its 16th century beginnings in separate commercial ventures, it rapidly expanded into a loose union of varied sovereignties during the European colonizing competition of the 19th century. By mid 20th century most of its territories had gained independence, and the empire had evolved into the Commonwealth of Nations, an association of equal and autonomous states loyal to the British Crown and enjoying special trade interest.

Nigerian Politics - Oil in Nigeria: a Curse or Blessing?
The discovery of oil in Nigeria, first in Oloibiri, in the Niger-Delta, south-south region of the country in 1956 has re-shaped the destiny of the country.
Before this discovery, Nigeria’s economic survival largely depended on Agriculture chiefly cocoa from the western and groundnut from the northern part of the country. It is remarkable that at this time, Nigeria ranked second only to Ghana then known as the Gold coast in terms of production of cocoa. There was also the production of palm kernel from which palm oil was derived. In fact Nigeria took off with a country like Malaysia which is far ahead of country (Nigeria) in terms of development.

INTRODUCTION: Money laundering is the process of creating the appearance that large amounts of money obtained from serious crimes, such as drug trafficking or terrorist activity, originated from a legitimate source. It is a crime in many jurisdictions with varying definitions. It is a key operation of the underground economy.

Nigerian Politics - How Libel Suit Landed Bode George in Prison
Former Nigeria Ports Authority (NPA) board chairman and a key associate of former President Olusegun Obasanjo, Chief Olabode George, and five others were yesterday jailed for 30 months. The libel case he instituted against The News magazine, which had exposed George’s alleged corrupt deals at NPA, had sparked off his travails. The report was based on the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s indictment of George in its investigation of his activities at NPA. But George’s libel case against the magazine quickened the commencement of his trial by EFCC under Mallam Nuhu Ribadu.

On the other hand many European governments are unwilling to accept asylum seekers who travel on false documents and who would have gone through a safe

It is Senate that has the formal authority under the university’s charter and status to make academic policy. Therefore, for it to take meaningful decisions it has to create certain committees.

As usual watchers of political developments will crack their their brains once more in order to try to dymistify to what Nigerian Government is seeking to achieve.

Only Government owned stations were in operation, such as NTA 2 Channel 5, channel 10, channel 7, (now defunct), LTV and the popular OGTV. These stations were subjected to the whims and caprices of the government and could not independently air certain programmes. Besides, the usurpation of power at various times by the Military from the civilians and within themselves before 1999, further put a clasp on what could be aired. Though 1992 heralded the dawn of the Nigerian movie industry (Nollywood), TV programmes continued to tag along.

Nigerian Politics - How General Buhari won me over
I never loved violence in any form or any military rule in life since I studied History for the advanced level in 1975. I read about Napoleon Bonaparte of France, the first known military coup plotter in European history and effects of it on those that fought for freedom of France, the peasants and the bourgeois after the removal of Luis the 16th as King of France, my favorite in European history was Ottovon Bismarck of Prussia who united the scattered 39 German states and became the first Chancellor of Germany, despite the refusal of Austria and Hungary to participate in the unification, Bismarck never used force on those two nations but agreed to work with them which

Resource disbursement is a fundamental fiscal issue in the practice of Nigerian federalism. This is largely so as the nation, has federating units with their respective constitutional responsibilities to execute. The Federal, States and Local Governments which constitute the three tiers of government in Nigeria are each given tax-raising powers. The responsibility of disbursing the fund accrued in the common pool account is the exclusive preserve of the federal government. The disbursement of revenue to the three tiers of government in Nigeria has been a subject of hot debate

Nigerian Politics - An Ikoyi Hotel Is A cut Above Most Others Elsewhere In Lagos
An upmarket neighbourhood in the city of Lagos, Ikoyi is situated on the eastern side of Lagos Island near the mouth of the Lagos Lagoon. Once the home of British government officials during the colonial era which ended some 50 years ago, Ikoyi is now where diplomats, Nigerian government officials and business tycoons as well as many of the foreigners working in the country's oil and gas industry reside. And Ikoyi hotels include some of the best in the city, if not in the entire country, which is to be expected considering that visitors to the area and business travellers in particular are accustomed to good hotels in Europe and America.

Nigerian Politics - Buhari's Anticipatory Tears of Failure and a National Carnage
Tunde Idiagbon was not around to see it. And if he were to still be here but didn't see it life he would have doubted all breaking news about it. But it happened. Mohammadu Buhari (who with Tunde Idiagbon once overthrew democracy and held Nigeria with iron-stiff hands) ‘bathed' us with tears recently. I tell you, Tunde Bakare would have had an uphill task convincing Tunde Idiagbon, his namesake and ‘predecessor', that Buhari first sailed away in thought while addressing the world, then the whole head plummeted, and before he was done with giving vent to the troubled inside man his papers and viewers were already wetted with his tears, and could only moan thereafter! But very

Nigerian Politics - The Anti-Corruption Commission and the Sierra Leone Lebanese Question: A call for an ACC study!
Reforms in Sierra Leone’s economic and financial services sector are projected to largely fail unless the Sierra Leone-Lebanese economic power imbalance question is adequately addressed. This question revolves around the inordinate monopolistic economic stranglehold being exerted over all aspects of the society, by the Lebanese business community, as a result of their dominant economic power dating to the pre-independence era. Despite political independence in 1961, Sierra Leone’s new and subsequent leadership have continued to act as though merely continuing the colonial era economic models and power structures without addressing the core economic power imbalance will suffice
Nigerian Politics - What is post colonialism? How do we find this ideology working as a backdrop in the first part of Things Fall Apart?
Post colonialism: The social, political, cultural, and economic practices that arose in the response and resistance to colonialism and imperialism. This term also refers to the historical period following the colonial era, corresponding roughly to the second half of the twentieth centuryPostcolonial theory, often said to begin with the work of Edward W. Said, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, and Homi K. Bhabha, looks at literature and society from two broad angles: how the writer, artist, cultural worker, and his or her context reflects a colonial past, and how they survive and carve out a new way of creating and understanding the world. One of the earliest critical works to present

Nigerian Politics - Hiding Africa's Looted Funds: The Silence of Western Media
By Lord Aikins Adusei Quite often when you read newspapers, listen to the radio and watch television in the West you will are bombarded with how poor and corrupt Africans are. However, you will never watch, read or hear anything in these media outlets on the role play by : Western banking institutions; property development and estate companies; technology corporations; oil and mining cartels; defense and engineering companies, and western political and business elite in promoting corruption in Africa. When it comes to Africa and the developing world, the Western media pretend to be doing a good job only when there is an embarrassing story or a scandal that undermines their own

Nigerian Politics - The Screwy Relationship Between China and Africa
"…[T]he wise general will concentrate on securing provisions from the enemy," Sun Tzu, The Art of War.The Chinese are big time on the African continent. The extraction of natural resources in exchange for infrastructural development purports a symbiotic relationship that, in this author's estimation, can only lead to a disastrous conclusion for Africa--particularly, when it is clear that the Chinese hate Black people.As far back as 1279 AD, under the rule of Khubila Khan, the Chinese have been conquered and ruled by foreign powers. China's early experience with foreign governments left a bad taste of economic colonialism in its mouth. Autonomous regions and concessions,
Nigerian Politics - Ogboru: The Man, Manifesto and Many Mandates
Three inseparable phenomena have built up to great height in Delta politics. There is the marvel associated with the man Great Ogboru; and closely knit to that is the total embrace that his manifesto has been home to in Delta; and then the resultant and always sweeping mandate that the people has for him any day since 2003. It is no surprising that the connivance of skewed hearts who have been usurping power and governance at home with the operators of our electoral and legal systems, and security operatives at the national level (lucre being the strength of that connivance) has been able to do anything about the aforesaid threesome phenomenon.
Great Ogboru is a man of many parts,
