Democracy and Prebendal Politics in Nigeria
Author: Richard A. Joseph
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1107633532
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
Originally published in 1987, this book examines the relationship between the pattern of party formation in Nigeria and a mode of social, political and economic behaviour Richard Joseph terms 'prebendalism'. He demonstrates the centrality in the Nigerian polity of the struggle to control and exploit public office and argues that state power is usually viewed by Nigerians as an array of prebends, the appropriation of which provides access to the state treasury and to control over remunerative licenses and contracts. In addition, the abiding desire for a democratic political system is frustrated by the deepening of ethnic, linguistic and regional identities. By exploring the ways in which individuals at all social levels contribute to the maintenance of these practices, the book provides an analysis of the impediments to constitutional democracy that is also relevant to the study of other nations.

Sharia Law and the Religious Factor in a Secular State Like Nigeria
Author: Ikechukwu Aloysius Orjinta
Publisher: GRIN Verlag
ISBN: 3640809327
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 89
Book Description
Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2010 in the subject Theology - Comparative Religion Studies, language: English, abstract: If there is any group at all that should not give their eyes any sleep until the Sharia law is reformed or the full blown version is abrogated, it is the women. From the foregoing these African nay Nigerian women have observed that after the Christians, the next victims of the Sharia would be the womenfolk. The Sharia law and in fact the whole religion has virtually nothing productive to offer women. Since the Sharia poses the greatest threat and challenge to women, they must unite to fight the scourge. This is part of the agenda of Womanism, nay feminism. Women everywhere, whether in Islam, African Traditional Religion, Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Freemasonry, Amorc or Judaism must all team up to say: No to male chauvinism! No to discrimination and racism!

The Politics of Biafra: And the Future of Nigeria
Author: Chudi Offodile
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1483461432
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
The Politics of Biafra is a reflection on the importance of history in addressing present realities and the future co-existence of Nigeria's multi ethnic society. It analyzes the ideological struggles and conflict in Biafra during the war with Nigeria from 1967-1970, the impact of the war and the relevance of those struggles to the current agitations for a new state of Biafra. In this historical and analytical work, the author observes that nearly fifty years after the end of the Nigeria-Biafra war in 1970, Nigeria remains confronted with the Biafra dilemma. No matter its pretensions, Nigeria will at some point have to reform its present pseudo federal arrangement to create a more inclusive, equitable and proper federal structure. If not, the country will continue to face epileptic developmental thrusts, militancy in the Niger Delta and a ruinous intensifying clamor for self-determination by disadvantaged ethnic groups, especially the Igbo. Appendix - Three part essay by Professor Chukwuma Soludo.

Asagba
Author: Ifeoha Azikiwe
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1504925599
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
His life is eventful as it is remarkable. He is a legend, an icon of all ages, a visionary born with royal blood in his spine and silver spoon to scoop. At a time blacks were regarded as sub-human, he suffered racial prejudice in Europe. Back home as a university lecturer, he was placed on a miserable salary, 60% less than his foreign counterparts. He rejected the offer, but driven by patriotism, he worked assiduously for nine months without pay. And he won the battle. Professor Joseph Chike Edozien was implicated at the outset of the Nigerian civil war, targeted as a culprit but smuggled out through the rough terrain of the Camerouns to Paris, France. The war changed his focus and made him a refugee. However, he remained undaunted. His professorial portfolio at hand, Edozien proceeded to the prestigious MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. From there he moved to the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Chike Edoziens educational attainments span through Africa, Europe, America and Asia with far-reaching global impact on humanity. The first Nigerian and African dean of the faculty of medicine, University of Ibadan, Edozien won international laurels in medical education and research, capped with a bibliography of 45 citations. And from the ivory towers of Chapel Hill, he ascended the coveted throne as the 13th Asagba of Asaba. The nonagenarian deprecates the vices that impede Nigerias greatness; the twin devil of bribery and corruption, tribalism, lack of national consciousness, over-concentration of power and resources at the centre, and above all, absence of true federalism. He paints a gloomy picture of a nation wallowing in utter backwardness, and regrets that we have lost our traditional values completely, with Christianity at the base of our collective ethical decadence.
