proceedings and policy recommendations of the 3rd Obafemi Awolowo foundation dialogue.
Get PDFThe search for leadership in Nigeria was the key issue at the third Obafemi Awolowo foundation dialogue which took place in Lagos in December 1994. This publication is the outcome of the three-day dialogue during which the problem of leadership in Nigeria was exhaustively and closely examined. For over thirty years since its independence, Nigeria has floundered from one grave political crisis to another. In that period, we have had a civil war, five successful military coups d'etat and five attempted but failed coups. We have had only two civilian regimes with a combined total of only nine years in power, while the military has been in power for a total of 25 years. In 1993, the long transition to civil rule programme was aborted following the annulment of that year's Presidential elections which should have brought the civilians back to power. The dialogue took place in a period of great turmoil, characterised by uncertainty about the nation's political future, by deep social tensions, and by a severe downturn in the national economy with consequent deterioration in the quality of life of the average Nigerian citizen. In keeping with the excellent traditions established since its inception, The Obafemi Awolowo foundation brought together for the dialogue eminent scholars, jurists, politicians, the professional class, retired diplomats and military men, civil servants and traditional chiefs to throw the searchlight on tire failure of leadership in Nigeria and examine in depth the whys and wherefores of a problem whose solution continues to haunt, perhaps even torment, the nation state. Expectedly, many factors were adduced for the lack of credible leadership including the nature of the colonial legacy, our cultural and ethnic diversity, the political and economic imbalance within the nation, the lack of commitment by its leaders to democracy and the tepid political will of the populace. While it was generally accepted that Nigeria's leaders had failed the nation, many argued that there was no shortage of good leaders as such but that the twin evils of "clientelism and prebendalism'' had made it virtually impossible for such credible leaders to emerge. It was for this very reason that Chief Obafemi Awolowo was described (only on his demise) as “the best president Nigeria never had". What it all boils down to is that the structure of power in Nigeria, and recruitment into it, seem destined to produce the wrong leaders for the country, leaders who are neither dedicated nor detribalized, but adept in the pursuit of narrow and selfish interests.Opening session; Chairman's opening remarks; Keynote address; The theories and conceptions of leadership; History of leadership in Nigeria; Sectoral leadership: Problems and prospects; Cultural and geopolitical considerations; Comparative perspectives and lessons from other countries; The generational debate; The way forward

EDDA heritage: Edda Egbehu Liberal Movement
No full textEDDA is easily one of the oldest traditional Clans among the Cross River y Igbo peoples. It was declared a County Council in 1954 and the administration effectively took off the following year with headquarters at Nguzu Edda.
The relationship between the physical environment and economic development is of both theoretical and practical importance and these have attracted considerable attention across the world. As far as Edda is concerned, the issue is topical and controversial. It is topical in the sense that in dealing with the theories of economic development, in Edda, Economists will focus on infrastructural development, improvements and financial institutions; while Geographers will be concerned with the spatial nature of these developments and their impact on the activities of the entire Edda Clan. On their part, politicians would aim to establish the relationship between these variables since that would help determine the allocation of resources and Government expenditure in the area.Edda Egbebu liberal movement; The physical environment; Migration of Edda people; The family, associations and names; Issues in religion; Aspects of social groupings; The polity; The economy; Sports and games; Warfare; Regional development In Edda today

The history of political change among the Tiv in the 19th and 20th centuries
Get PDFThe aim of taking Another Look at the Tiv through the History of their Political Change In the 19th and 20thCenturies, is twofold. The first is to show the system of government that existed among the Tiv on the eve of the British conquest. The second is to show how this system suffered traumatic deliberate dislocation at the hands of the British despite protests by the Tiv. The final result was the anarchy of 1960 and 1964 named nande nande and atemtyo respectively. In official records it is anonymously documented as "Tiv Riots".1.
