How to make an undemocratic constitution: The Nigerian example
Constitution? Wetin be that? Me a never see constitution before o. Na wetin e bi? Na book or na food? Abi na di name of one new govnor? My broda, a beg make you talk the one wey poor man pikin fit sabi. But on a serious note, who are these chaps in the PRC (Provisional Ruling Council)? When did they get the mandate of the Nigerian people to give us a constitution? That will not be said to be the constitution of the Nigerian people ... ... it is a…
Politics of Constitutional Reforms and Democratization in Africa
JULIUS O. IHONVBERE [*] ABSTRACT Any constitution that does not emerge from widespread consultations with all nationality and interest groups cannot be regarded as legitimate. The basis of constitutional legitimacy must now be measured by the extent to which the masses have been part of the process of compacting the constitution. [1] The mere existence of a constitution, however comprehensive, will do little to create a stable environment for dem…

Economic Crisis, Civil Society, and Democratization: The Case of Zambia
Democratization in Africa
Africa, like most regions of the world, has not been bypassed by the current wave of political transitions from various brands of dictatorships to more open political systems. Workers, students, women, religious leaders, rural and urban associations, and even sectors of the military have gotten fed up with repression, corruption, economic mismanagement, and the suffocation of civil society. In response, they have agitated for political liberaliza…

Organized Labor and the Struggle for Democracy in Nigeria
The literature on the on-going transitions in Africa has largely ignored trade unions and workers, women, even the prodemocracy movements. Of course, they are mentioned in passing or used in examples. But there has been a dearth of detailed case studies of the role of these popular constituencies in Africa's transition and non-transition. There is enthusiastic interest in constitutional engineering, political parties, politicians and of course, e…

The crisis of democratic consolidation in Zambia
La récente vague démocratique en Afrique qui a défié les dictatures militaires, unipartites et personnelles a été confrontée à d'énormes obstacles. Malgré un soulagement certain lié à la libération de la société civile de sa suffocation traditionnelle, le développement des nouveaux mouvements et des partis politiques a été freiné par une vision limitée, un asservissement excessif à des programmes économiques et politiques contrôlés par des étrang…
Are Things Falling Apart? The Military and the Crisis of Democratisation in Nigeria
The return of the generals to power following the coup d'état of November 1993 has posed fundamental challenges to the survival of the nation. On the one hand, it has brought out the worst in Nigerian politics: repression, intimidation, violence, corruption, betrayals, and the manipulation of primordial loyalties. On the other hand, it has exposed the nature and extent of the Nigerian political rot, and provided the still weak and fledgling civil…

Democratic impasse: Remilitarisation in Nigeria
Contrary to Olusegun Obasanjo's admonition above, the Nigerian military does not believe that the solutions to the country's problems require all heads and hands. Rather, the military, obviously in alliance with the political elite, believe that the solutions lie in the barrel of the gun as well as in the suffocation of civil society and the asphyxiation of all democratic openings in the country.3 To be sure, it is possible to interpret the failu…
Foreign Aid Negotiations: The Swedish-Tanzanian Aid Dialogue
The 'irrelevant' state, ethnicity, and the quest for nationhood in Africa
Ethnic affiliations and divisions have come to pose serious challenges to the strengthening of civil society and the quest for nationhood in Africa. While ethnicity was employed by the colonial state to divide the colony and weaken the nationalist movements, post-colonial regimes and governments have manipulated ethnic differences to consolidate their control over society and promote exploitative relations of power, production and exchange. The l…
