10(Ten) Theses on political change in Nigeria
• Nigerians should be able to go to the polling booths with the assurance that they are safe and no sort of chaos or pandemonium will occur during the time they cast their votes.
• Nigerians should know that political violence is not the way to respond to their insatisfaction with political results, instead the use of dialogue is a better approach to solve their differences.
• Nigerians should know that anyone, male or female, man or woman that is above the age of eighteen is eligible to vote and be voted for without the fear of being harassed.
• Nigerians should know that politics in itself is not dirty but for the corrupt people that find themselves in those various positions of authority by dirty means.
• Nigerians should have it in mind that to curb corruption in their country, the first step begins from their homes; that is from the roots, the bottom; erasing the notion that the first step should begin from the leaders, the top; this single action if carried out by all the families will finally work its way to the top.
• Nigerians should be enlightened to the fact that positive political change will see the light of the day only if all the geopolitical zones, ethnic groups and tribes come together and unite as one.
• Nigerians should know that until men and women are treated equally; in as much as a man can hold a particular political position, a woman can too, only then can their political system move towards greater heights.
• Nigerians should know that, only when some ill meaning citizens that turn public offices to the personal vaults are brought to book as stated by the law, only then will the services of the public offices be felt by the masses.
• Nigerians must know that castigating or blaming some tribes or ethnic groups for the political instability in their country will not improve

    Nigeria is considered to be one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Many different forms of corruption are familiar to Nigeria including political corruption, bureaucratic corruption, electoral corruption, embezzlement, and bribery. Corruption has even been said to be a viable enterprise in Nigeria due to the involvement of citizens, government officials, and private corporations alike. Two main factors help explain why corruption and bribery are so high in Nigeria, these factors include Nigeria’s complete dependence on the petroleum industry and profit-focused companies taking advantage of a less developed, vulnerable country’s government and social systems.…

    After the war the Republic of Biafra was reabsorbed into Nigeria. But the unification has still remained unstable. In 1998 MASSOB (Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra) was formed. Claiming to be strictly peaceful the organization has still re opened what can only be expressed as deep feelings in Nigeria. Then in 2009 the Boko Haram, an extremist Islamic group that can be likened to Al-Qaeda, forcefully made their presence known in northern Nigeria. Along with this the country for the first time since the war has its first elected president Goodluck Johnathan, who is busy not only trying to deal with the two separatist movements but also the corruption within the Nigerian government which has flourished under the military rule. Top it off with gas prices at an all time high and oil wells a plenty in Nigeria the potential for ignition of this powder keg is high. Without out some serious deterrents from the rest of the world a mass genocide in Nigeria seems practically…

    Nigeria as a nation has been very unfortunate since independence to have leaders who lack the basic quality of good leadership with which the nation would have been transformed into a powerful and vibrant nation. This has resulted to the fact that Nigeria, within her very short period of existence as a sovereign nation, has witnessed quite a number of coup-d-tat, which is a direct product of bad leadership. This phenomenon of leadership style inherent in our sovereign nation runs across different spheres of endeavours. It is not uncommon then in Nigeria for various categories of workers and students to embark on strike actions or mass protest to demonstrate their disenchantment with…

    Geographic boarders of nation states become less relevant as beliefs, traditions, and customs permeate and are accepted, practiced, and implemented across various societies and cultural arenas. Globalism deals with issues on a geopolitical scope and scale, in which the influence of one culture effects, directly or indirectly, affects the dynamic of other cultures or societies. The evolution of communication and travel has brought down the logistical barriers, once imposed by these forms of communication. Globalizations effects give our collective existence a new perspective and sheds light on both the positive and negative implications of individual and collective actions. Sociologists and governments can no longer ignore smaller or what they deemed to be insignificant components in the framework of globalization. A prime example, as illustrated in the text, is the international trade and commerce. If we Americans analyzed everything we own or buy, we would probably realize that >50 percent of these material goods are produced in other areas of the world.…

    Nigeria has been seen as a corrupt country much like other third world countries left to fend for themselves after the onslaught of colonialism. The systems put in place by colonialism keep the country from progressing in any meaningful way once they attain independence. Another problem not addressed in the article is the backlog of the criminal justice system. It was so bad that the government resorted to periodic amnesties just to reduce the inmate population. There have been others fghting against the corruption such as the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission and the fight continues.…

    Essentially, conflict is inevitable in human interactions. Wherever and whenever people interact, there is bound to be disagreements, misunderstanding and disputes. Furthermore, conflicts can take different forms or assume different dimensions, some of which include: political, social and economic dimensions. Dimensions here refer to an aspect or feature of a situation (Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary, 1998). This work shall examine and explain the socio-economic and political dimensions of conflicts. However, due to the all encompassing and universal nature of conflicts, focus will be laid on conflicts in Nigeria alone. This is due to the fact that, as the most populous and heterogeneous nation in Africa, Nigeria has had its fair share of conflicts dating back to the colonial era. Again, all the conflicts that have been witnessed in the country can be said to have socio-economic and political undertones.…

    Since the return to electoral politics in 1999, and particularly after the 2003 general elections, Nigeria 's political parties have been criticized by the media, academics, observers and the electorate for corrupt and unbridled use of money in politics. The anti-corruption initiatives of the administration of Chief Olusegun Obasanjo provided a suitable environment for some civil society groups to engage governments and other stakeholders on the issue of corruption and its effect on governance. There exists an awakened consciousness in Nigeria about the danger of political corruption including political finance malpractices. However, the question remains whether the rise in consciousness translates into new social values and attitudes for stakeholder’s government, election management bodies, political parties, civil society in the electoral process and in the way they interact with money and politics. Surveys conducted by IFES in 2007 reveal public perceptions on “Corruption in the realm of politics.” The report reveals that a majority of Nigerians think it is wrong for an ordinary person to sell a vote in return for goods or money. However, more than a third of the sampled population thinks it is understandable to do so. Furthermore, “most think it is wrong for political parties to offer money to people in return for their vote, but a third think it is understandable for them to do so. A quarter of Nigerian adults admit someone tried to offer them a reward or gift to vote for certain candidates in the election.” Today in Nigeria, money politics, vote buying, godfatherism and “share the money” are regular household phrases and slogans portraying moral decadence of politicians. These usages adequately describe rent-seeking behaviour of politicians, political parties and voters. Such practices include accepting bribes from patrons and distributing money to buy votes. This has implications for good governance processes, including…
