Sustainable Democratic Governance and Regional Integration in West Africa
Since the 1960s, West African leaders have viewed regional integration as a vehicle for economic growth and subcontinental development. However, more than six decades later, integration has yielded marginal returns. Democratic governance and regional integration have been examined as separate contributors to security outcomes, but how the two interact to shape a specific country’s security exposure has rarely been tested. As West Africa’s most po…
New minority marginalisations and the social media ecosystem in Nigeria
Extant practices of digital governance, including platform regulations and state–platform interactions in contemporary Nigeria, have produced new patterns of marginalisation within the social media environment. Conventional explanations of minority tend to view the phenomenon often from the ethno-linguistic, religious and regional perspectives. As such, existing engagements tend to gloss over the ways that digital regulatory practices highlight u…
Checkpoint Politics, Cross-Border Exchanges, and Nigeria’s 2019 Border Closure Policy
Aggressive smuggling of agricultural and petroleum products, automobiles, fabrics, and firearms underscores the motivation for Nigeria’s border-closure policy instituted in August 2019. The dominant opinion, particularly that of the official government analysts, assessed the policy as successful, even before thoroughly evaluating its performance. Existing studies on borders and cross-border relations in Africa have focused on colonial cartography…
Cultural hegemony and ethnic minority struggles in Nigeria
This study explores the plight of ethnic minorities and marginals and their increasing quest to obliterate their subordinate status and attempts by the dominant groups to maintain the status quo in Nigeria. Such interactions have induced resistance and increasingly stimulated questions of insecurity. Extant explanations of ethnic hegemony have mainly focused on describing and analysing the phenomenon with the attendant socio-political, economic, …
The Role of Nigeria's Correctional Service and its Effectiveness in Rehabilitating Offenders
This study investigated the effectiveness of Nigeria's Correctional Service in rehabilitating offenders, with a focus on Kuje Correctional Center, Abuja. The central problem addressed is the high rate of recidivism and whether the rehabilitation programmes are effective in reducing this trend. The purpose of the study was to assess the types of rehabilitation programmes available, their effectiveness, and the challenges faced in implementing thes…
Exit and voice
This article interrogates the role of the Nigerian Diaspora in contributing financial and intellectual remittances for national development. It does so because conventional diaspora studies have focused on how various diaspora populations adapt to the social, economic, and political realms in the countries of settlement even as they seek to maintain their own traditions and cultures. Recent developments indicate Diasporas have played prominent ro…
Politics of Security Sector Reform
A growing deterioration of the security situation in Nigeria is provoking debate about the subsisting federalized but ineffective policing structure. The general deterioration of security is also manifesting in the growth of regional outfits that have emerged to fill the security gap created by a weak and centralized security arrangement. While there is a plethora of literature discussing security governance in Nigeria-with an emphasis on reforms…
Frontiers of belonging and politics of identity
This article draws from funeral rituals and performative festivals to reflect on how and why burials, reburials and performances of Eyo and Nzem Berom festivals provide excellent examples of cultural politics and represent occasions for the (re)production of kinship, belonging and claims to ownership in the cities of Lagos and Jos. It argues that existing literature on the politics of belonging in Africa either understates or overlooks the roles …
Spaces of Conflict and Conflict of Spaces
Communal violence, one of the deadliest forms of political violence in Africa, has characterised Jos and other central Nigerian cities since the 1990s. With origins in colonial land and administrative policies at the inception of the city, communal tensions rooted in local elite competition over ‘indigeneship’ and entitlement to political and government positions, access to higher education and land rights have manifested more forcefully in conte…
Autochthony and space in communal war
Since the 1990s, there has been an upsurge in conflicts of autochthony in several parts of the world. Autochthony invokes a sense of a politics of belonging and an attachment to the land. In Nigeria, the phenomenon raises questions of citizenship and can reinforce exclusionary practices which in turn provoke widespread violence between different Nigerian populations. Infrastructure provision in a communal conflict environment is a critical elemen…
Horizontal inequalities and ethno-religious conflicts in Jos metropolis, North-Central Nigeria
Prolonged political struggles and perceived horizontal inequalities between Christian Afizere, Anaguta and Berom against Muslim Hausa and Fulani in Jos metropolis, North-Central Nigeria have boosted feelings of difference between the two groups and ignited convulsive bloody conflicts. This article analyses the discourses of horizontal inequalities and how they stimulated the protracted ethno-religious conflict in Jos metropolis and beyond. It dis…
