Political Interference in Election Administration and Electoral Irregularities in Nigeria
The extant literature is replete with fine-grained explanations of problems of electoral irregularities in Nigeria. However, how political interference in election administration contributes to these problems has largely remained unacknowledged. The Nigerian Constitution establishes the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) as a relatively autonomous electoral body and, also, empowers the president to appoint its principal officers sub…
Unguarded Areas and Rural Insecurity in Nigeria, 2010-2022
This study investigated the link between unguarded areas and rural insecurity within the context of the Nigerian State. It argued that poor deployment of security technologies to rural areas induces rural insecurity in Nigeria. The ungoverned spaces thesis underpinned the study and informed its adoption of mixed research strategies to generate detailed data/information necessary to provide insights into the problem under investigation. Data exami…
Separatist Agitations in Nigeria
This study examined the interface between separatist agitations and national integration under Buhari’s Administration in Nigeria. The study investigated the various separatist groups operating in Nigeria, particularly the Indigenous People of Biafra ( IPOB ) that emerged as an outcome of unbearable incidence of marginalisation by Buhari’s administration. The study leveraged on the propositional trappings of relative deprivation theory to explain…
Neoliberal state and criminal activities in Nigeria
This paper argues that the failure of neoliberal economic policies in Nigeria leads to increasing spate of criminal activities in the country. It explains how such neoliberal economic policies like privatisation, removal of state subsidies and deregulation cripple pre-existing substructure of the Nigerian economy; thereby increasing criminal activities everywhere in Nigeria. While criminal activities are closely associated with neoliberal states,…
The Limiting Effects of Inconclusive Gubernatorial Elections towards the Democratic Consolidation of the Nigerian State
Inconclusive (delayed) elections are fairly a common phenomenon in the practice of representative democracy. In Nigeria, however, they are occasionally allowed to happen and sometimes stage-managed to serve the calculated interests of power centres. Thus, this study inserted in the debate on inconclusive elections and democratic consolidation by investigating the limiting effects of inconclusive gubernatorial elections ( IGE s) in Nigeria. The st…
Autocratization Verity
This study builds on extant literature on autocratization by critically analyzing democratic setbacks, arising from widespread incidents of electoral and political violence in democratic processes in Africa. The study leverages on frustration-aggression propositions to analyze the politico-electoral dynamics in autocratization trends in climes where the incentives to use violence as power acquisition strategy have become a dominant norm either by…
Developing Nigerian communities through community government council
The recent establishment of community government as a distinct, but coordinating level of government in Nigeria came with the high expectation that it would facilitate adequate transfer of statutory powers, responsibilities, and finances to various communities for community-driven development. However, the underdevelopment situation of most of the communities seemingly appears to have dashed this expectation. Thus, this recent study investigated …
