Ecowas at 50
The year 2025 marked a metamorphosis of five decades, or the Golden Age of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). It is an important historical moment in the annals of ECOWAS that
European Migration Control and the Migrant Smuggling Enterprise in West Africa
This article discusses the European migration control system and its connection to the facilitation of migrant smuggling in West Africa. Using Nigeria’s experience, the paper explores the key developments that contributed to the expansion of the migrant smuggling business, namely, the European biometric ID systems, the digitalization of external borders, and intensive border securitization. These key measures are linked to the emergence and deepe…
The ‘Triangle of Shame’
European Biometric ID Program in West Africa
The coloniality of biometric power
Countries in the global South are engaging and building strong relationships with powerful global organisations and big tech corporations, based on a profitable digital cooperation. This article explains this emerging trend using the concept of biometric coloniality of power, to show how techno-capitalist biometric identification interventions in the new biometric states in the global South replicate colonial relations of dominance. It draws on N…
Biometric coloniality
This article frames the concept of biometric coloniality of power in the Global South – to explain how alliances of powerful global institutions, big tech companies and the compliant emerging biometric states operate on the basis of a lucrative digital consensus to carry out techno-capitalist biometric ID interventions, which reproduce colonial relations of domination. We use Nigeria’s experience and examples from other African countries to demo…
European Biometric Borders and (Im)Mobilities in West Africa
This article argues that the European biometric ID installations and securitization practices at West African borders harm African migrants and compromise the security goals of Europe and Africa. Using Niger's experience, I contend that migrants' poor adaption to the biometric border processes is closely connected to their identity conflicts, as well as their atomization and weakening of their social integration. The new border security measures …

Frustration-Aggression Nexus in Framing the Expanding Banditry Economy in Northwest Nigeria
Recent studies on armed banditry in Zamfara have commented on climate change, weak security infrastructure, and setbacks in socio-economic developments. The communal-level issues in the threat such as farmland allocation, vigilantism, and local intelligence provision have largely remained understudied. This study exploits the gap to explain armed banditry. A mixed method of data collection and qualitative descriptive method of data analysis were …
State Taxation of the Motorcycle Transport Business and Internally Generated Revenue in Ebonyi State, Nigeria, 2015 to 2021
In classical literatures, the informal sector is regarded as all those economic activities that are neither taxed nor monitored by any form of government. However, with the downturn of economic activities in Nigeria due to the dwindling oil revenue which forms the major revenue generation and export earnings of Nigeria, the informal sector, specifically the motorcycle transport business popularly known in Nigeria as Okada has come under some form…
European Biometric Border System, Securitization and (Im)mobilities in West Africa
This article interrogates the European biometric ID system and securitisation measures in West African borders which have become detrimental to, first, African migrants and, second, both African and European security objectives. Using the Niger’s experience, we demonstrate how migrants’ identity problems as well as their atomisation and loosening of their social integration are directly linked to the criminalising and dehumanising border security…
United States’ electoral diplomacy in foreign countries under President Barrack Obama
The study analyzes President Obama electoral diplomacy during the 2015 Nigerian election in distinct sense: persuasive appeals, and describes its differential effects on electoral behavior in Nigeria. Obama’s electoral diplomacy had counterintuitive effects – resulted to vote-switching and electoral misconduct. Based on qualitative research methods, the study revealed that the U.S. electoral diplomacy in Nigeria unwittingly undermined electoral c…

Macroeconomic Policies and Foreign Capital Inflows in Nigeria
The growth of manufacturing sector output in Nigeria is currently sluggish, if not stagnant, despite massive inflows of Foreign Direct Investment ( FDI ) as well as macroeconomic policies initiated by successive Nigerian governments. The study investigated how macroeconomic policies and FDI inflows have impacted on the manufacturing sector in Nigeria. The Augmented Dickey Fuller ( ADF ) unit root test was adopted to determine the stationary prope…
Dilemmas of ‘biometric nationality’
This article interrogates the use of biometric ID technology to facilitate political mobilisation of migrants for election purposes in West Africa. We contribute to the migration instrumentalisation (MI) debate by fishing out four structures that facilitate MI for election purposes, namely: regional migration regimes; state identity politics/policies; monetary inducement; and biometric ID technology. Based on a qualitative in-depth study of migra…
Untold story of the expanding armed banditry in Nigeria’s Northwest
This study interrogates the often de-emphasised and understudied communal-level dimension of the armed banditry in Nigeria’s Northwest region. Data collection was based on mixed methods and documentary evidence. The study dissects the communal dimension of the expanding armed banditry in Nigeria’s Northwest from three communal-level perspectives, namely (1) wholesale farmland allocation, (2) poor vigilante governance and (3) bandits’ covert allia…

Your Land or Your Life'! Ecowas Free Movement Regime, Migration, and Resource Conflicts in West Africa
Beyond Police Brutality
On 20 October 2020, the military and police force opened fatal shootings at peaceful unarmed #EndSARS protesters. This article examines the political and socio-economic undercurrents of #EndSARS protest. It argues that the predatory state-society relations where the state is the predator and citizens are the preys nurtured the increasing distrust between the state and its citizens, and ultimately, resulted in the deepening mutual mistrust between…
State regulation of Nigeria's maritime ports
Extant literature neglects the impact of state regulation in a dual structure of port governance by both the government and private terminal operators (via the public‐private partnership). Using the Nigerian experience, this article interrogates the impact of the implementation of Nigerian Ports Authority (NPA) regulatory frameworks on the management of 2006 port concession in the maritime industry. Based on qualitative and content analysis of da…
When All Hands Are Not on Deck
The defects and susceptibility of the Nigerian federalism are more pronounced at this period of the Covid-19 pandemic. Existing studies are yet to articulate how the states, in the formulation and enforcement of the lockdown and physical distancing policies, infringed on the federal exclusive matters by closing land borders, airports and imposing partial banking services. There is selective provision/distribution of healthcare facilities and stim…

Impact of Covid-19 lockdown and social distancing policies on small businesses in south-eastern Nigeria
This article examines the specific or sub-sectoral effects of COVID-19 lockdown measures on small business units, thus departing from previous studies which only focused on general effects. Based on qualitative and cross-sectional survey methods, the article depicts a cross-sectoral disparity in the patronage level and income stream of customers of small businesses found on the streets of south-eastern Nigeria. The article identifies the gap in t…
Privatisation, prepaid metering and electricity billing scam of Enugu electricity distribution company ( Eedc ) in Enugu metropolis of Nigeria
This study underscores the contexts and crisis of privatisation in Nigeria's power sector to apprehend the level of prepaid meters distribution to consumers, the conflicting billing methods adopted and its impact on both the electricity consumers and revenue generation stream of the Enugu Electricity Distribution Company (EEDC). The descriptive survey method and correlation design were used, with sample drawn from Enugu metropolis, Nigeria. The r…
ICT and Elections in Nigeria
Applications of Information and Communications Technology (ICT)-driven innovations are profound in the electoral cycle. Among them, biometric technology is currently sweeping across developing countries. It is, however, only poorly adopted among rural voters. Does the use of biometric technology in the conduct of elections reconstruct rural voters' behaviour, amid prevailing social challenges? The links between these realities and their consequen…
Street-hawking in a Foreign Land
This article investigates how migrant petty trading populations confront social systems/perceptions of their host localities and the effects on the sustainability of their trading activities. I examine clusters of long-term migrant petty traders (LTMs) and very recent migrant petty traders (VRMs) (i.e. from Lake Chad region: Chad, Cameroon and Niger) found in Nigerian peri-urban areas. Adopting Kaufman's symbolic-analytic model, I argue that a mi…

United States' Security Governance in Nigeria
Why did decade-long US security cooperation and counterterrorism engagements in Nigeria fail to bring down Boko Haram or at least weaken its terrorist structures and transnational spread? There is little agreement among scholars on the impact and implications of US security engagements in Nigeria on the military's counterterrorism strategies. I argue that disconnects between the components and dimensions of US-Nigeria security cooperation are imp…

Covid-19 containment policies in Nigeria
This briefing explores how the administrative fight against Covid-19 in Nigeria, particularly the conflictual political economy of federalism in this mono-product/oil-dependent economy, has shaped the making and implementation of virus containment policies and strategies. The analysis shows that the disconnects between the federal and state governments have blocked a harmonised and coordinated containment response. Instead, the measures to manage…
New Dimensions to Pastoralists–Farmers Conflicts and Sustainable Agricultural Development in Agadama and Uwheru Communities, Niger Delta
The Niger Delta in Nigeria is known for conflicts linked with control of oil related natural resources but not with the pastoralists and farmers. Agadama is a coastal agrarian community in the Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria. Pastoralists are usually associated with their traditional arid environments in Northern Nigeria. But their recent presence in southern humid environments brought new dimensions to the conflicts w…

Rethinking the ‘patron–client’ politics of oil block allocation, development and remittances in Nigeria
This research adopts qualitative method and patron–client analysis to underscore the political economy of oil block allocation, development and receipts/remittances in Nigeria. It contests Wilson’s (1961) and Scott’s (1972) claims on the superiority of the patron over clients, and argues that ‘clients’ in Nigeria (indigenous oil block awardees) maintain some degree of control over the patron (ruling elite), enjoy more economic returns/oil rents, …

Cattle Droppings Litter Our City Roads
Herders-farmers violent conflicts and flare-ups have spread throughout central and southern communities in Nigeria, but exclude the urban areas. I examine ‘herders – urban residents’ conflicts. Herders roam their cattle from outskirts to city roads, disrupting traffic and leaving behind trails of excrement and offensive smells causing dangerous nuisance. I argue that the new practice of cattle herders’ encroachments on city roads poses some socio…
Clash of counterterrorism-assistance-seeking states and their super power sponsors
Decade-long security cooperation and counterterrorism engagements in Nigeria have failed to bring down Boko Haram or at least weaken its terrorist structures and transnational spread. I argue that disconnects between counterterrorism-assistance seeking states and their superpower sponsors are implicated in the intractability of Boko Haram's insurgency in Nigeria. Why is the U.S. counterterrorism intervention to individual MNJTF countries (i.e. tr…

Global Oil Crisis and Early Covid-19 Strategic Containment Responses in Africa
African countries have been hit by a dual shock of COVID-19 pandemic and global oil crisis, which have caused severe economic and social disruptions. Most studies shed light on the correlates between COVID-19 and the global oil crisis, including their economic impacts on oil producing/exporting countries. However, the objective of this study is to examine the effects of the global oil crisis on the implementation of World Health Organization’s (W…
Covid-19 Lockdown and Social Distancing Policies and the Sustainability of Small Businesses in South-Eastern Nigeria
This study explores the experience of small business operators in South-Eastern Nigeria to underscore the sub-sectoral effects of COVID-19 lockdown measures on small businesses. Although COVID-19 lockdown and social distancing policies are generally perceived to have negative effects on small businesses, this study argues that these policies have had both positive and negative effects on small businesses. Clustering small businesses into three ca…

Dilemma of Nuclear Power Seekers
Can power-seeking states attain strategic significance if they don’t depend and hinge their military potentials on foreign powers? While Algeria and Libya pursue clandestine nuclear weapons projects with assistance from foreign nuclear powers, they fail to invigorate their military industrial complex for effective combat readiness. I anchor my analysis on balance of power theory to argue that failed attempts to balance power can hold back militar…

Glocalization of Covid-19 responses and management of the pandemic in Africa
The study explores how glocalization of COVID-19 responses affects the management of the pandemic in Africa. Using data from 20 selected African countries, the study found that the reliance on local medicines alongside other salient global initiatives for containment of COVID-19 is effective in managing the pandemic in Africa. It concluded that despite the high vulnerabilities of African countries to COVID-19, the glocal approach has yielded posi…
Covid-19 lockdown and physical distancing policies are elitist
This study explores the experience of the sub-urban slum residents in Okpoko (Anambra State), Ngwa-road Aba (Abia State), Ajegunle (Lagos State) and Gwagwalada (Abuja), to underscore the elitist and western contexts of Covid-19 lockdown and physical distancing policies. The study apprehends these policies as being counter-productive due to Nigeria's peculiar socio-economic circumstances, and brainstorms on the need and prospects for adaption and …
Fake News’ and ‘Half-truths’ in the Framings of Boko Haram Narrative
What concerns do official statements, especially government press releases on counterterrorism war against Boko Haram generate for countries outside Nigeria, and what are their counterterrorism responses to such sensitive military information? Nigeria’s official counterterrorism and military statements rarely met its intended objectives of improving military’s public image, applauding government’s counterterrorism efforts, and attracting internat…

Parliamentary democracy and citizen's welfare in Nigeria
This study examined how National Assembly's legislation has facilitated or enhanced citizen's social welfare in Nigeria. Based on qualitative research methods and post‐colonial theory, the study argued that the National Assembly has primarily elevated its private interests (including the interests of the executive arm) above qualitative pro‐people legislation that could enhance citizen's social welfare. Between 2015 and 2018, only 12 out of the 8…
