Technological innovations and the credibility of Nigeria’s 2023 presidential election
This study examined the extent to which technological innovations, such as the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) and the Independent National Electoral Commission Results Viewing Portal (IReV), enhanced the credibility of Nigeria’s 2023 presidential election. It specifically determined their level of implementation and performance. Drawing on qualitative methods, the findings showed that while the implementation of BVAS and IReV was stru…
The Nexus between Tradition and Modernity
Interrogating the Ooni Institution legacy in the post-colonial politics of Nigeria is conceptually problematic. This is because, in post-colonial Nigeria, the Ooni throne had been occupied at different times by three distinct personalities with different ideological, educational and socio-economic orientations. Incidentally, the three Ooni have assertive personalities that have impacted the Nigerian post-colonial political space. This study essen…
Ethno-religious Beliefs and Patients’ Healthcare-seeking Behavior in Nigeria
This paper examined how ethnic cleavages stimulate the medical choices and decisions of patients in Nigeria. Indeed, how ethno-religious beliefs, push patients into adhering too much to religious faith and doctrines instead of seeking medical help is hardly examined in Nigeria. This gap invariably constitutes not only a high mortality rate but large-scale human insecurity in terms of loss of lives in the country. Drawing on structural-functionali…
Disrupting Rural Transformation
Zimbabwe’s rural transformation agenda has long centred on agriculture as the engine of development, food security, and poverty alleviation. However, systemic failures in the agricultural sector have undermined these aspirations, giving rise to an alternative survivalist mode of economic engagement, the extractive economy. This study investigated how deep-rooted structural weaknesses, including policy inconsistencies, underinvestment, land tenure…
Afrocentric Citizenship Education
Institutional corruption and lack of accountability, both prevalent traits of ill governance, continue to undermine Africa’s economic development, persistently straining growth and stability despite numerous reform efforts aimed at promoting transparency, and integrity. Through a synthesis of contemporary discourse on anti-corruption measures and good governance, this desktop study conceptualised Africanized citizenship education, delivered throu…
Institutional Mechanisms and the Reintegration of Offenders in Nigeria
The study examined available institutional mechanisms for the reintegration of offenders in Nigeria and determined if these mechanisms enhance the proper reintegration of offenders into society. These were the views on advancing knowledge about the effectiveness of institutional mechanisms in promoting the reintegration of offenders in Nigeria. Data were gathered through Key Informant Interviews with 16 key informants who were drawn from 2 high-r…
Exploring Psychological Distress, Burden of Care and Emotional Intelligence as Correlates of Psychological Well-being in Family and Non-family Caregivers of Individuals Living with Cannabis-induced Ps…
Caring for individuals living with cannabis-induced psychotic disorder poses unique challenges that significantly impact caregivers’ psychological well-being. This study delved into this complex caregiving landscape, exploring how psychological distress, the burden of care, and emotional intelligence collectively influence caregivers’ psychological well-being. The study was conducted at the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Yaba, Lagos Nigeria. …
Investigating the Role of Non-Governmental Organisations in Green Energy Innovations and Sustainable Practice in Lagos State, Nigeria
This paper investigates the role of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in green energy and sustainable practices provision in Lagos State, Nigeria. Given the huge energy deficit in the state and its impacts on the socioeconomic dynamics of the state, the study, dwelling on the blending of theoretical assumptions of stakeholder theory and Ecological Modernization Theory and qualitative research design found that NGOs are central to the efforts …
Social Discontent and Voting Behaviour in South Africa’s 2024 General Elections
The main aim of this paper was to analyse South Africa’s transition from one-party dominance to a multi-party coalition government, with specific reference to the 2024 general elections in South Africa. Through the use of secondary data collection, the paper critically analysed the nexus between social discontent and voting behaviour in South Africa’s 2024 general elections. Using rational choice theory, the paper argued that voting behaviour in …

Digitalization, Politics, and Governance in Africa
In an era dominated by the omnipresence of digital technologies, the intersection of digitization, governance, and politics has emerged as a pivotal focal point shaping the contours of modern society. The advent of the digital age has revolutionized not only the way we communicate, interact, and conduct business but also fundamentally altered the landscape of governance and political discourse. Digitalization has brought about unprecedented disru…
Oil, Conflicts, and Political Economy of Migration in Africa
In most African countries, especially Nigeria, migration is driven by economic hardship, unemployment, poverty, and the search for greener pastures overseas. In Niger Delta, in addition to the factors above, migration is driven by recurrent attacks and conflicts between militants and the Nigerian state over oil. Indeed, negative environmental externalities and violence resulting from long years of oil exploration in this region have made many, es…
A Impact Analysis of Digitalized Voting System on Voting Behavior and Democratic Consolidation in Nigeria
Election results in most African countries are hardly transmitted using digitalized devices. This has created room for suspicion and discrediting of electoral integrity in part of Africa. Citizens’ suspicion of the electoral process has not only made many African voters believe that votes hardly count, but it has significantly provoked tendencies of political apathy and indifference during elections in some African countries. Political apathy and…

The Political Economy of Digitalization and Climate Change Response in Nigeria
Climate change is having serious impacts on the sustainability of the world. Growing scientific exactitude on causes and effects of climate change makes humanity’s response to it an urgent and critical need. Nigeria like many countries around the world is facing difficult times owing to the new environmental realities produced by the menace. Responding to climate change requires humanity’s best social, political, scientific, and technological eff…
State and Hegemony in Nigeria
This paper analyses the implication of state and hegemony on environmental politics in Nigeria. It argues that Nigeria as a British colonial creation is essentially a capitalist system that was invertedly created because unlike Western systems, it is a capitalist system that is run by non-capitalists. This implies that in Nigeria, there is a palpable absence of the state which is a creation of capitalists to coordinate other superstructures. This…
Consequentialism – Deontology Theorising, Armed Humanitarian Intervention, and the 2012-2013 Central African Republic Crisis
Despite the challenges that have greeted Responsibility to Protect (R2P) interventions in Africa, the need to authorise R2P remains compelling. Drawing from secondary sources, this study interrogates the R2P intervention in the Central African Republic ( car ) from within the frame of the ‘consequentialism’ and ‘deontology’ debate, contending issues, and the extent to which such interventions enhance or inhibit further institutionalisation of the…
The dialectics of insecurity and development in Africa
To achieve development in a state of insecurity is a mirage. Africa is caught in this web, as every sub-region faces security challenges. The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were developed as frameworks to fast track development in developing countries and sustain it in developed countries through global partnerships. This study is an advocacy to reinvent the role development partners can play to p…
Asymmetric relations and enforcement of democracy in West Africa
Nigeria and The Gambia have been involved in asymmetrical relations since 1965 given the disparity in the material capabilities between them. This asymmetry came to the fore in the role played by Nigeria in resolving the 2016 political impasse in The Gambia when former President Yahya Jammeh refused to accept the results of the elections and quit power, having lost to the opposition. Adopting Krystof Kozák’s four behavioural tendencies of asymmet…
Covid-19, Human Displacement, and Expanding Crises of Insecurity in Africa
Governance failures, inadequate policy efforts, poverty, unemployment, insurgency, climate change, socio-economic downturns, religious fanatics or bandits, and other related factors have all been blamed for insecurity in Africa. This has left some holes in assessing Africa's present catastrophic insecurity situation via the prism of Covid-19 and human displacement. The research fills the gaps by presenting a fresh understanding of how Covid-19 an…
The Malian state, social exclusion, political marginalisation and the Tuareg rebellions
Irony of Development Agendas
The attainment of development is largely consequent upon the throes of political governance as a fragment of public administration. In truth, the nexus between political governance and development is crucial to the advancement of social justice. The quest to reverse Africa’s underdevelopment and de-democratisation instigated its political leaders to initiate, formalise, and adopt the African Peer Review Mechanism (APRM). The APRM is expected to p…
The Myanmar-Rohingya Crisis, Civilian Protection, and the Dilemma of the Responsibility to Protect Norm Institutionalization
Existing studies on the Myanmar-Rohingyan crisis have explored the contending issues from a narrow perspective. This underscores the need for broader engagement by interrogating the veracity of the claims of mass atrocities against the Rohingyans, nonauthorization of the Responsibility to Protect (RtoP), and implications for consolidating and internalizing the RtoP norm. This study argues that, while the acts of genocide, crimes against humanity,…
Nigeria and Conflict Resolution in the Sub-regional West Africa
The role of Nigeria in conflict resolution and peacekeeping efforts in Africa and other parts of the world cannot be overemphasised. The country has contributed more than 200,000 soldiers to peacekeeping missions around the world since independence. These efforts have earned it much respect in the council of nations and the recognition as being the ‘giant of Africa’. Also, Nigeria has been regarded as a ‘regional hegemon’ by some scholars because…
Look East Policy
This article maps the evolution of Zimbabwe’s Look East Policy (LEP) and specifically the bilateral relationship with China through the lens of Zimbabwe’s domestic politics. It argues that political elite in Zimbabwe has a vested interest in a close economic and political relationship with China at the cost of the interests of the people of Zimbabwe. The author establishes that Zimbabwe’s LEP was intended to respond to the economic sanctions impo…

The Dynamics of Oil and Social Movements in the Niger Delta of Nigeria
The discovery of oil in Nigeria since 1956 has inflicted a heavy burden on the local people of the Niger River Delta who have had to contend with the consequences of oil production. The grievances of these local people have persisted for more than three decades without concrete efforts on the part of the government or oil multinationals to address them. The global triumph of capitalism and the fall of communism gave the local people an opportunit…
