Book excerpt: The history of the Nigerian press has been chequered. From its humble beginnings in 1859 as a pastoral adventure to inculcate the habit of reading and seeking information through reading, it has morphed into a pervasive force in the growth and development of the peoples of Nigeria. It was a strong player in Nigeria's resistance to colonial rule, in the efforts at self-rule and in managing the challenges of, first, independence, and second, the military's incursion into governance. From the ashes of the failures of the first three civilian republics, it remains a player in the politics of the fourth. In all of these eras its performance remains uneven; it has been as much a part of the problem as it has been a part of the search for solution. Much of the narrative about the press has been historical and sociological in conception and execution. This work borrows from that tradition. This book is about a professional association, the Nigerian Guild of Editors. It discusses the role, place, achievements and failings of the Guild in the quest for press freedom, professional respect, press responsibility and accountability. It is as much an examination of an institutional platform as it is an analysis of the role of individual players in nurturing or restricting the objectives of the Guild. The book took longer than planned as it suffered great and unanticipated constraints. Being a pioneer work, there was really no pathfinder to trail, no ready literature to examine. Having grown in fits and starts, there was no internal light from the Guild to shed on the path it has trodden over the years. No records at all from its secretariat on its activities in the first 20 years. The Nigerian Press Council (NPC), which had kept a trove of records on professional media associations in its Lagos library and would have been helpful, lost its entire holdings to fire in 2008. Most of the founding fathers of the Guild, who could shed some light on the early days, are dead, except for Lateef Jakande, its first president, who was happy to share what he had. Sources of information, especially in the early days, have come from snippets of writings in newspapers. Babatunde Jose's Walking a tightrope and Peter Ajayi's Not my Will provide a torchlight on some of the Guild's activities in the 1970s. Help, however, came from various writings on developments in the media and the Guild since the resuscitation of the Guild in 1988. Seminar papers, personal notes and interviews with latter-day actors have also been helpful. Through this work, I give a welcome summary of the story of the Guild of Editors, a key component of the organised media groups in Nigeria. The Nigerian Guild of Editors (NGE) is one of the tripods upon which the organised media rests. Alongside the Nigeria Union of Journalists (NUJ) and the Newspaper Proprietors Association of Nigeria (NPAN), the three form what is known as the Nigerian Press Organisation. They are the press intelligentsia spanning the critical tiers of journalists, editors, and proprietors, or if you like, the general workforce, managers and owners. This book is the outcome of a grant in 2013 by the Guild under the administration of Gbenga Adefaye (2008-2013) to write the history of the Guild at a time the organisation was not even sure of its date of establishment. The concern was valid enough: When did the Guild start? What were the objectives for establishing it? Who were its directing minds? Where did the Guild start? How did the Guild emerge? Why did it start when it did? What challenges did the Guild face in terms of the socio-political terrain under which it operated? What was the legal landscape like? How did the Guild deal with attempts to restrict/restrain press freedom?

Book excerpt: The autocratic regime of Sani Abacha (1993-1998) stands out as a watershed in the history of independent Nigeria. Nigeria's darkest years since the civil war resulted from his unrestrained personal rule; very close to the features associated with warlordism. Nepotism, corruption, violation of human rights, procrastination over the implementation of a democratic transition, and the exploitation of ethnic, cultural or religious identities, also resulted in the accumulation of harshly repressed frustrations. In this book, some distinguished scholars, journalists and civil society activists examine this process of democratic recession, and its institutional, sociological, federal and international ramifications. Most of the contributions were originally presented at a seminar organized by the Centre d'Etude d'Afrique Noire (CEAN) in Bordeaux.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigeria, the United States’ most important strategic partner in West Africa, is in grave trouble. While Nigerians often claim they are masters of dancing on the brink without falling off, the disastrous administration of President Goodluck Jonathan, the radical Islamic insurrection Boko Haram, and escalating violence in the delta and the north may finally provide the impetus that pushes it into the abyss of state failure. In this thoroughly updated edition, John Campbellexplores Nigeria’s post-colonial history and presents a nuanced explanation of the events and conditions that have carried this complex, dynamic, and very troubled giant to the edge. Central to his analysis are the oil wealth, endemic corruption, and elite competition that have undermined Nigeria’s nascent democratic institutions and alienated an increasingly impoverished population. However, state failure is not inevitable, nor is it in the interest of the United States. Campbell provides concrete new policy options that would not only allow the United States to help Nigeria avoid state failure but also to play a positive role in Nigeria’s political, social, and economic development.
Download or read book Nigeria written by John Campbell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-06-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the "Giant of Africa" Nigeria is home to about twenty percent of the population of Sub-Saharan Africa, serves as Africa's largest producer of oil and natural gas, comprises Africa's largest economy, and represents the cultural center of African literature, film, and music. Yet the country is plagued by problems that keep it from realizing its potential as a world power. Boko Haram, a radical Islamist insurrection centered in the northeast of the country, is an ongoing security challenge, as is the continuous unrest in the Niger Delta, the heartland of Nigeria's petroleum wealth. There is also persistent violence associated with land and water use, ethnicity, and religion. In Nigeria: What Everyone Needs to Know®, John Campbell and Matthew Page provide a rich contemporary overview of this crucial African country. Delving into Nigeria's recent history, politics, and culture, this volume tackles essential questions related to widening inequality, the historic 2015 presidential election, the persistent security threat of Boko Haram, rampant government corruption, human rights concerns, and the continual conflicts that arise in a country that is roughly half Christian and half Muslim. With its continent-wide influence in a host of areas, Nigeria's success as a democracy is in the fundamental interest of its African neighbors, the United States, and the international community. This book will provide interested readers with an accessible, one-of-a-kind overview of the country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays collected in African Print Cultures claim African newspapers as subjects of historical and literary study. Newspapers were not only vehicles for anticolonial nationalism. They were also incubators of literary experimentation and networks by which new solidarities came into being. By focusing on the creative work that African editors and contributors did, this volume brings an infrastructure of African public culture into view. The first of four thematic sections, “African Newspaper Networks,” considers the work that newspaper editors did to relate events within their locality to happenings in far-off places. This work of correlation and juxtaposition made it possible for distant people to see themselves as fellow travellers. “Experiments with Genre” explores how newspapers nurtured the development of new literary genres, such as poetry, realist fiction, photoplays, and travel writing in African languages and in English. “Newspapers and Their Publics” looks at the ways in which African newspapers fostered the creation of new kinds of communities and served as networks for public interaction, political and otherwise. The final section, “Afterlives, ” is about the longue durée of history that newspapers helped to structure, and how, throughout the twentieth century, print allowed contributors to view their writing as material meant for posterity.
