Militarization of the Electoral Process and Voter Turnout in Off-Cycle Governorship Elections in Nigeria
Community-based organisations and counter violent extremism in North-East Nigeria
From government-led to community-based peace process: Rural banditry and the complexity of peace purchases in Zamfara State, Nigeria
Cameroonian Political Conflict, Displacement, and Refugee Women's Struggle in the Informal Economy in Nigeria
Community-Based Border Policing: Towards Complementing Border Surveillance Strategy in Countering Human Trafficking on the Nigeria-Niger Border
Even though the Nigeria-Niger border is a significant gateway for human trafficking to Europe, it has received limited scholarly attention. The study used ethnographic and documentary methods to argue for adopting community-based border policing (CBBP) on the Nigeria-Niger border to complement border surveillance strategy (BSS). Despite the reliance on surveillance strategies, crimes like human trafficking have persisted on the Nigeria-Niger bord…
Between Rhetoric and Performance: The State and Counterterrorism in Nigeria's Post-2015 Presidential Election
While there are significant volumes of studies on Nigeria's counterterrorism, little or no intellectual attention has focused on the nexus between rhetoric and the performance of the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari on counterterrorism. This paper explores the politicisation of insecurity and the government's counterterrorism efforts. It draws on the performativity thesis and documented field data to make assessments of the administra…
Community-Based Organizations and Stakeholders' Engagements: A Dialectics of Countering Violent Extremism and Humanitarian Service Delivery in North-East Nigeria
There is still little discussion on how community-based organizations (CBOs) may help counter violent extremism (CVE) in Nigeria. This research explores the implications of CBOs' use of external networks for CVE and the distribution of humanitarian aid in North-East Nigeria. It finds that because CBOs depend so heavily on outside funding, they are constantly exposed to the demands and whims of donors. We therefore urge the government to prioritiz…
Does Dependence on External Resources Affect Community-Based organizations’ Efforts in Countering Violent Extremism? An Explorative Study of the Northeast Nigeria Experience
This study examines the funding of community-based organizations (CBOs) as instruments for reducing the extreme behaviors of violent extremist organizations (VEOs). Evidence abounds that CBOs in industrialized nations like the USA and Canada have budget lines designated for government expenditures to deal with extremist behaviors in their local communities. This state-level effort to reduce violent extremism and VEOs behavior is absent throughout…
Border closure and border governance dialectics in Nigeria
Nigeria has 86 legal access points and over 1400 illicit ones, indicating some of the world's most porous borders. Numerous transnational crimes flourish along Nigeria's borders with other neighbouring countries due to the border's porosity. The government of Nigeria resolved in August 2019 to restrict its roughly 4,500-kilometre land borders with the republics of Niger, Cameroun, Chad, and Benin to reduce cross-border crimes. The government reop…
Brutal expropriation, environmental racism and racial capitalism in Nigeria
Scholars often analyse the Nigerian political economy from class, ethnic, regional, and other analytic perspectives. Racial capitalism is rarely employed to analyse the Nigerian political economy and the endemic identity crises that always lead to hatred, tension, and violent conflicts. Environmental pollution is often not accidental, but deliberate environmental and economic sabotage. This paper sees it as a dimension of environmental racism. Id…
Multinational Joint Task Force's counterinsurgency in the Lake Chad Basin and the consequences of Chadian exit for the Northeast, Nigeria
The Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF), comprising soldiers from the Lake Chad Basin countries (Cameroon, Chad, Niger, Nigeria, and Benin), has been countering insurgency in the region since 2015. Frictional relationships resulting from mutual distrust affected the commitments of MNJTF contributing countries in counterinsurgency operations in Lake Chad. Chad, notably, considered itself an arrowhead in the counterinsurgency due to the laxity o…
Racial capitalism and capitalism in Africa: The utility and limits of Cedric Robinson’s perspective
This debate discusses the analytical utility of Cedric Robinson’s perspective on capitalism and its mode of accumulation in Africa. It identifies the important uses of Robinson’s approach and the concept of racialism. The debate also explores a major limitation of his framing of the effects of capitalism in Europe and the world beyond it
The capital, state and the production of differentiated social value in Nigeria
This paper re-visits secondary literature on racial capitalism and problematises the Nigerian oil-dependent capitalist economy. The economy of oil extraction dispossesses the peasants of their land and exposes them to pollution. This Oil economy creates a contradiction by producing the agent of its transformation; the community-based social movements. The state and the capital respond to these contradictions by instrumentalizing differences to pr…
Capital, the State, and Environmental Pollution in Nigeria
This research discusses the environmental pollution by the capital in the oil-rich Niger Delta region of Nigeria and identifies two historical agents that have the potential to harmonize their social power through a common language that may create a new social and political agency. We argue that the working class and the community-based social movements are necessary but not sufficient agents of transformation in the Nigerian oil-dependent capita…
