Nigeria In West Africa Peace Keeping Operations: A Study Of The Sierraleone Crises, 1997-2002, Ozy B. Orluwene Jp, Fab O. Onah Phd
Dr Ozy B.Orluwene,JP
Abstract This study examined the concept of peacekeeping as an activity aimed at resolving, preventing and halting military action, with a view to uphold law and order in a conflict zone. Peacekeeping is seen as a global conflict management system, which aims at employing a non-violent, rather than enforcement ethic. This study traced the roots of the civil war in Sierra Leone to the excesses of a corrupt elite, political misrule, and the deteriorating economic condition and collapse of the country’s diamond revenues. The study adopted the conflict resolution theory as the framework of analysis. Based on the data, the …

Elitist Corruption And The Anti-Corruption Crusade In Nigeria, Ozy B. Orluwene Jp
Dr Ozy B.Orluwene,JP
Abstract Corruption is a global phenomenon and as such not unique to Nigeria. Its effects we argue vary from one society to the other due to differences in level of economic development and commitments to anti corruption measures. However, corruption has become so prevalent in Nigeria that almost all governance crises, economic woes and development predicament are attributed to the problem. The paper examines the situations in the country and argues that it is indeed a serious problem. This cankerworm is so systematic as it is fuelled by patron-client politics and patronage system in government and other sectors of the …

Federalism And National Integration In Nigeria (1999-2007), Fab O. Onah Phd, Ozy B. Orluwene Jp
Dr Ozy B.Orluwene,JP
ABSTRACT This study examined the concept of federalism and the issue of national integration in Nigeria from 1999-2007. It is observed that governance in Nigeria is replete with very many contradictions, controversies, paradoxes and crises emanating from the country’s fragile experiment in a multi-ethnic federalism. These have generated conflicting interests, which have over the years lingered unresolved since Lord Lugard forced the amalgamation of disparate and isolated ethno-linguistic nationalities into a country in 1914. Considerable information on federalism, national integration and related concepts were synthesized. The literature review identified gaps, which the study addressed. Source of data for the study …

Globalization, An Opportunity Or A Threat: A Critical Commentary, Ozy B. Orluwene Jp
Dr Ozy B.Orluwene,JP

Consequently, more and more people are taking an increasingly critical view of this worldwide phenomenon …

The Politics Of Revenue Allocation In Nigeria Since Independence: An Overview, Ozy B. Orluwene Jp
Dr Ozy B.Orluwene,JP
Abstract This paper is designed primarily to offer a historical overview of the politics of revenue allocation in Nigeria since independence. Revenue generation and allocation among the federating units of Nigerian federalism is a crucial issue in that as soon as there exist two or more levels or tiers of governments, it becomes necessary to introduce a system of sharing fund to various tiers of government to particularly meet constitutionally assigned and specified functions. There is the problem of how to allocate revenue to these different tiers of government in relation to the constitutionally assigned functions. The discordance between fiscal …

Constitutional Provisions And Challenges To Local Government Administration In Nigeria, Ozy B. Orluwene Jp
Dr Ozy B.Orluwene,JP
Abstract The primary focus of this paper is to identify and explain the various flash points and problems of constitutional provision in Nigeria with emphasis on local government administration as enshrined in section 7 (1 and 2) of the 1999 constitution which restores to the states, the power to create and control local government among others. The paper regrets to note the gains made in local government after the 1976 local governments reforms have been depreciating.

The Niger Delta Crisis: A Three Dimensional Discourse, Ozy B. Orluwene Jp
Dr Ozy B.Orluwene,JP
ABSTRACT This paper is motivated by the desire to examine the origin of the Niger Delta crisis in Nigeria. It explains why rural poverty, insecurity and state failure are the major reasons behind the volatile conflicts that have come to engulf majority of the once peaceful state of the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. It argues that the Niger Delta region is the home of the oil and gas industry in Nigeria. Petroleum exploration accounts for over 80% of Nigeria’s foreign earnings. The petro-dollar wealth translates into a big curse for the people and the environment. An ungrateful Nigerian state …

Dr Ozy B.Orluwene,JP

Accommodative Strategies In Nigerian Federalism Since Independence, Ozy B. Orluwene Jp
Dr Ozy B.Orluwene,JP
Abstract This paper primarily illustrates how the practice of federalism in Nigeria has made her an epitome and pioneer of federalism in Africa in the use of power sharing mechanism and practice to promote inter- ethnic inclusiveness or discourage sectional imbalance and bias in decision making processes. This practice of federalism in Nigeria has also validated the idea that federalism is adopted with a view to ensuring unity of the people and faith in their father-land so as to further the end of liberty, equality and justice in the country. This observation has led us to conclude that it is …
Political Obligation And Democratic Governance: A Case Of Nigeria, Ozy B. Orluwene Jp
Political Obligation And Democratic Governance: A Case Of Nigeria, Ozy B. Orluwene Jp
Dr Ozy B.Orluwene,JP
ABSTRACT This paper attempts to seek and examine a balance between the political obligation (rights of the governed and duties of government) in democratic governance. Political obligation is two sided, namely, obligation on the part of government and obligation on the part of governed. It has to do basically with such issues as necessity for law and government, organized society and obedience on the largest possible scale, as the utilitarian would say, “the purpose of government in organized society is to promote the greatest happiness for the greatest number”. The citizens’ willing cooperation and obedience are demanded by the state, …

The Role Of Ethnicity In The Making Of A Nation: The Nigerian Case, Ozy B. Orluwene Jp
Dr Ozy B.Orluwene,JP
ABSTRACT This paper is primarily concerned with examining the place of ethnicity in the making of a modern state (Nigeria). The study contends that Nigerian did not create ethnic groups rather ethnic groups created Nigeria. They constituted the basic stuff which colonialism manipulated into shape and christened Nigeria. To put it Aristotelian terms, colonialism and ethnic pluralism were respectively, the efficient and the material causes of Nigeria. Therefore, credit for the creation of Nigeria state goes to ethnic pluralism after colonialism.

The Pitfalls In The Nigerian Federalism, Ozy B. Orluwene Jp
Dr Ozy B.Orluwene,JP
ABSTRACT The paper is primarily examining the pitfalls in Nigeria’s federalism. Theoretically, federalism as a system of government and power arrangement is crafted deliberately to deal with a sociological complex polity as presented in Nigeria’s multi-ethnic, multi-linguistic and multi-religious composition. But there exist wide gaps between theory and practice, vision and reality, with the data of governance being replete with many contradictions, controversies, paradoxes and crises emanating from the persistent stagnation and diminution that follow fragile practice of federalism. Rather than improving the quality of governance and practice, it tends to diminutates and validates the fact and conclusion that the …

Dr Ozy B.Orluwene,JP

Federalism, according to Ali Mazuri, is the institutionalization of compromise relations that are noted for high degree of de-centralization, rigid and written constitutions, plurality of leadership among others.

This is adopted with a view to ensuring unity among the people and faith in their father land, so as to further the end of liberty, equality and justice in the country. The paper will further …

The Deregulation Policy Of The Down Streamsector Of The Nigerian Petroleum Industry: A Critical Reveiw, Ozy B. Orluwene Jp
Dr Ozy B.Orluwene,JP
Abstract The article attempts to take a critical look at the current deregulation policy of the present administration. It examines the main components of the reform policy programme. The article notes that the current policy just like the previous ones will fail because they are based on erroneous assumption of the failure of the previous policies without identifying and addressing the fundamental problems why the previous one failed. The paper contends that the prevailing neo capitalist political economy for better or for worse continues to influence what happens in the public sector. It therefore concludes that the policy or programme …
