Politicians have hijacked democratic institutions in Nigeria by turning elected offices into vehicles for political violence and corruption, Human Rights Watch said in a report released today. Human Rights Watch called on President Yar’Adua and the Nigerian parliament to end the impunity enjoyed by abusive politicians and to enact reforms to make government more transparent and accountable.

documents the most important human rights dimensions of this crisis of governance: politicians and other political elites openly encouraging systemic violence; the corruption that fuels and rewards Nigeria’s violent brand of politics at the expense of the general populace; and the impunity enjoyed by those responsible for these abuses that denies justice to its victims and is a roadblock to reform.

“In place of democratic competition, struggles for political office are waged violently in the streets by thugs recruited by politicians,” said Peter Takirambudde, Africa director at Human Rights Watch. “Once in office, these politicians use their power to undermine basic human rights and enrich themselves at the expense of Nigeria’s impoverished populace.”

The report also describes the human cost of this dysfunctional governance, including lives lost to political violence, voters denied a voice in the electoral process, and youth recruited into violent gangs by politicians. The report is based on scores of interviews with government and police officials, civil society activists and victims of human rights abuse, along with gang members, politicians and political “godfathers” implicated in serious human rights abuses.

Human Rights Watch called upon Nigeria’s federal government to demonstrate its commitment to reverse these trends by enacting key reforms to make government institutions more accountable and transparent. Key early steps should include a robust and transparent government response to the recommendations of its recently constituted electoral reform panel; passage of Nigeria’s long-delayed Freedom of Information Law; and to extend a far greater degree of budgetary transparency to state and local levels. Just as important, the Yar’Adua administration should make a serious effort to investigate and hold accountable politicians and government officials, including leading members of the ruling People’s Democratic Party (PDP), implicated in serious human rights abuses.

“President Yar’Adua and the Nigerian parliament can and must play a pivotal role in reversing Nigeria’s abusive patterns of governance,” said Takirambudde. “Strong signs of renewed commitment to accountability and reform could begin to move Nigeria down the road to better governance and real respect for human rights.”

Nigeria returned to civilian rule in 1999, a turning point in a post-independence history that had been dominated by a series of corrupt and authoritarian military governments. But the end of military rule has brought only a hollow semblance of democratic governance, with nationwide elections in 1999, 2003 and 2007 undermined by widespread fraud and violence. Far from evincing progress, each of those elections has been bloodier and more pervasively rigged than the last. The April 2007 elections that saw the current government to power were riddled by fraud and violence, and were universally condemned by domestic and international observers.

The report documents how many politicians openly mobilize gangs of thugs to terrorize members of the public, including political opponents, and to forcibly rig elections. In Anambra State, the powerful 2007 PDP gubernatorial candidate Andy Uba hired armed “cult” gangs to seize control of the electoral process – an effort that led to bloody fighting in the streets of the state capital as gangs fought among themselves over the spoils. One gang member interviewed by Human Rights Watch compared Uba’s campaign organization to an “oil well” that could only be tapped into by carrying out acts of violence.

In Rivers State, at the heart of Nigeria’s restive Niger Delta, the efforts of local politicians to arm and hire criminal gangs to rig elections have spiraled out of all control. Bloody fighting in 2004 between rival gangs armed by the administration of then-Governor Peter Odili during the 2003 election cycle claimed dozens of lives, but those responsible were not held to account. The same pattern has now repeated itself in 2007, with inter-gang fighting in the streets of Port Harcourt in July claiming dozens of civilian lives and prompting a full-scale military intervention. Still, none of the individuals most responsible for that violence have been brought to account.

In Gombe State, gangs collectively known as Yan Kalare grew into a terrifying force since being sponsored in 2003 by local politicians, and then largely escaped the control of their benefactors. The gangs assaulted, raped and murdered, and none of their sponsors have been held accountable. One member of Gombe’s elder forum lamented to Human Rights Watch that, “We are ruled by gangsters. The major source of criminal activity in Gombe is the politicians and their militias.”

In some parts of Nigeria, the need to mobilize vast sums of money and large numbers of political thugs to compete in politics has given rise to mafia-like power brokers known as “godfathers,” who do not seek to occupy the elective offices they control, but instead use violence and corruption to rig their proteges into positions of influence. In return, they demand regular cash payments embezzled from government coffers as well as the right to control the distribution of government resources, jobs and contracts as patronage. In some cases these relationships are spelled out in remarkably explicit terms – as in the case of a written contract and loyalty oath signed by PDP godfather Chris Uba and then PDP gubernatorial candidate Chris Ngige in 2003.

In Oyo State, PDP godfather Lamidi Adedibu sent gangs into the streets in retaliation for independent action by his one-time protege and then-Governor Rashidi Ladoja. Ladoja’s supporters retaliated in kind. The resulting violence claimed dozens of lives and spread even to the floor of the State House of Assembly. Adedibu also mobilized thugs and attempted to subvert the voter registration process to help rig current PDP Governor Christopher Alao-Akala into office in 2007. Governor Akala told Human Rights Watch that “Chief Adedibu has sponsored everybody. Everybody who is who and who in Oyo State politics has passed through that place [Adedibu’s compound in Ibadan].”

Law enforcement agencies have usually turned a blind eye to crimes linked to influential politicians or powerful godfathers, even where ample evidence of criminal wrongdoing exists. Since the end of military rule, attorney generals at both the state and federal levels have not brought charges against a single prominent politician for involvement in arming or fomenting political violence. In many cases, police personnel have been implicated in the kinds of abuse they should be working to prevent. As one state’s commissioner of police acknowledged to Human Rights Watch, “There are even policemen and soldiers who can be used by people in power to do what thugs would normally do.”

The report notes with concern that no real effort has been made to hold politicians to account for their open mobilization of violence and corruption to secure political power. Until 2007, limited efforts at investigating and prosecuting corrupt politicians focused on enemies of the Obasanjo administration, undermining if not destroying the credibility of those efforts altogether. The government’s much-vaunted Economic and Financial Crimes Commission lost much of its credibility through selective targeting of government opponents in the run-up to the election, and has since done nothing to demonstrate that it possesses the requisite independence to do its crucial job effectively.

The administration of President Yar’Adua is a product of Nigeria’s fraudulent 2007 elections. Nonetheless, his government has embarked on the beginnings of a process of electoral reform that holds out some hope of progress. And thus far it has respected the independence of Nigeria’s increasingly assertive judiciary. However, the federal government has done nothing to end the impunity enjoyed by the perpetuators of Nigeria’s worst abuses. Along with its broader importance that failure will undermine any effort at electoral reform – no amount of institutional tinkering can safeguard the next election if abusive politicians are able to pour their effort into subverting that process and the rule of law more generally with impunity.

“The failure of Nigeria’s 2007 elections is not a problem that can be dealt with in isolation,” Takirambudde said. “Those polls were a stark reflection of much deeper problems that Nigeria’s federal government has thus far allowed to grow unchecked.”

Do you dream of being a radio dj or personality and playing your favorite songs for a career? Well here are some facts, and some things that you should know about this popular career choice.

So What Does a Radio DJ Really Do Anyway?

If you're wondering what a radio dj does on a day to day basis, it's quite easy to explain. Radio personalities for the most part, talk in between songs and provide information, and entertainment. Some radio DJs are notorious for their personalities. If you're looking to play all of your favorite music however, that's probably not going to happen. Usually a radio station's program director or music directors generate the playlist. Today's radio DJs do not typically pick the music to play on radio stations.

Finding Your First Radio Job

Finding work as a radio DJ in a "big" radio market can be hit-or-miss. Most radio dj's start out in smaller cities to get their "big break," into this lucrative business. If you have no radio experience it may help you get into the business if you're a tech-savvy person, or if you have a great voice, and/or are a people person. It also helps if you are an excellent writer and you have the ability to work under minimal supervision.

You Have to Really Want it

In order to become a radio personality in today's business, it requires your willingness to work very unusual hours during the day, for really low pay. Some radio jobs only pay minimum wage for part time work. That's because there are so many people who would work just for the fun of it. If you're lucky enough to get hired by a radio station, expect to spend lots of your time in the studio, not only being on the air, but cutting commercials and broadcasting live from events. Almost all time slots are 5-6 hours in length, although specialty shows can only be 2 or 3 hours. Outside of the radio station personalities are often asked to dedicate a few hours of volunteer service to the station every month. The average weekly time on the job for a radio personality was 50 hours in 2007 according to a nationwide survey.

How Do You Find Available Radio Jobs?

The best way to find radio jobs is to search Google.com for sites that specialize in radio job postings. You can even look for jobs on the Web site of your local radio station.

Remember, It's a Tough Business

Only a very small percentage of nationally recognized radio talents make the "big bucks." The positions that usually pay the most are morning show hosts and program directors. They have the top wages associated with this type of entertainment industry.

It is a fact that online sales opportunities provide some great advantages in the quest for financial independence. Such online sales can be tailor made to satisfy your desire for money. If you are presently working with companies such as Home Interior, Mary Kay, or say Tupperware by selling through centuries old conventional ways, try doing it the 21st century way, try expanding online and selling over the Internet. It really is not that difficult to take your act onto the Internet by setting up a website. Use of the Internet can vastly increase your potential earning power.

Each and every day, millions and millions of people make purchases over the Internet. If you are affiliated with a name-brand product or service, you have a very sellable product and you can be the one that makes that sale from all points of the globe. The increase in sales volume that you normally do can be staggering when you add the Internet to your sales arsenal.

Make sure to build a website that is easy to read, is loaded with content on the subject related to your product, and is easy to navigate. If you make your site overly complicated and easy to get lost in, you will lose many visitors for good and lose out on many potential sales.

Another way to sell online is by the use of Ebay or Yahoo auctions. You can be selling either new or used merchandise online this way. There are a wide variety of goods that you can sell on these sites, such as books, clothing, antiques, cars, electronics, you name it and it is sold online. Have you ever been to a large flea market or yard sale? If you have, you can get an idea of what I am referring to. You can clean out your cluttered garage or attic and find things that could bring in some money. You can find things that you would want to throw out without giving a second thought to that others would actually pay money for. These are just a few of the vast number of ways you can be using the Internet to sell successfully. How much money you make is all up to you. The possibilities are really limitless.

I remember those days back home when we used to see our relatives off to the white mans land with everybody beaming with hope for the future. All that we think about is what each and everyone one of us will be getting from our relative(s) about to travel. Usually the said relative is given a grace period of about 3 months after which the calls, the emails, the letters and text messages follows. Some relatives would not even want to know how you are doing, all that they are interested in is money mobile phones and those with business acumen brings suggestion about what business they think is doing well back home and would advise you as to where you should invest. Other will also advise you to purchase a plot of land and start putting up a building with the aim of becoming caretakers one day. (Their interest is paramount not yours). Those that we trust most end up disappointing us on several occasions. In a nutshell it become very difficult to trust your own brother, sister, relatives and friends with money and sometimes relationships. There have been a number of occasions where people entrust their girlfriends to their best friends who end up sleeping with them.

Most Ghanaians abroad are very industrious, some have between one to four different jobs and they work very hard to be able to remit their families and friends alike. Now a days things are becoming even more intricate for most immigrants not only Ghanaians. The influx of Eastern European immigrants has worsened things in most places in UK, these people are ready to accept any offer (in terms wages) however small they may seem, thus reducing the average earning of most immigrants.

In a bid to pleased people back home some Ghanaians (a small percentage) have resorted to so many ways of acquiring worth through illegal means. Some wait when their visas were about to expire and go for big loans, credit cards and store cards and buy loads of goods which they shipped back home, and everyone who sees them think they have really done well and hail them as heroes in the community. Other bring drugs, other steal people cars, some embark on credit card fraud, other steal from their work place etc. I am not saying all this to discredit most hardworking Ghanaians abroad, but just to tell our families and relatives that all that glitters is not gold. My biggest advice to all families is not to compare their son/daughter/relative with any other people. Some Ghanaians are doing marvellously well; some have very good jobs earning thousands of pounds a month, but it’s just difficult to distinguish between them and the bad nuts. I must admit that it is not only Ghanaians who are guilty of such crimes, other West African immigrants have even worse records when it come to fraud in the foreign land.

Life is becoming more difficult here, there are students who keep renewing their student visa just to be in the system and they keep doing one short course and another which they do not actually need only to keep them in the system, some pay so much money to other EU nationals just to get the necessary papers through false marriages (which does not even guarantee a better job) in order for them to have indefinite stay. This applies to all nationals in UK not Ghanaians alone. What bothers me most is that we do all this only to look good in the sight of our families and friends, which should not be so.

My humble advice to all families is to stop pressurising their children and relatives as to what they should do or amount of money they should send for big funerals, parties and weddings. We must stop comparing other people to our own children and relatives. Life is very tough in UK and it is going to be extremely difficult for those of us outside the EU. I must also advise Ghanaians never to pay any connection man to acquire a UK visitors visa, because they will be very disappointed and frustrated upon arrival in realising that they cannot do any work with such a visa. The best visa you can acquire as a starter is a working holiday visa. This will make life a bit comfortable for you in terms of looking for jobs. Now a day no one employs an immigrant without checking your immigration status, thus making it very difficult for people with visitor visa to work over here. All that I want to tell Ghanaians is that life is very difficult here and we should be suspicious when people return home with so much money after a short stay abroad. These are some of the reasons why no one should envy any Ghanaians abroad.

God will help us

Participation

Participation by both men and women is a key cornerstone of good governance. Participation could be either direct or through legitimate intermediate institutions or representatives. It is important to point out that representative democracy does not necessarily mean that the concerns of the most vulnerable in society would be taken into consideration in decision making. Participation needs to be informed and organized. This means freedom of association and expression on the one hand and an organized civil society on the other hand.

Rule of law

Good governance requires fair legal frameworks that are enforced impartially. It also requires full protection of human rights, particularly those of minorities. Impartial enforcement of laws requires an independent judiciary and an impartial and incorruptible police force.

Transparency

Transparency means that decisions taken and their enforcement are done in a manner that follows rules and regulations. It also means that information is freely available and directly accessible to those who will be affected by such decisions and their enforcement. It also means that enough information is provided and that it is provided in easily understandable forms and media.

Responsiveness

Good governance requires that institutions and processes try to serve all stakeholders within a reasonable timeframe.

Consensus oriented

There are several actors and as many view points in a given society. Good governance requires mediation of the different interests in society to reach a broad consensus in society on what is in the best interest of the whole community and how this can be achieved. It also requires a broad and long-term perspective on what is needed for sustainable human development and how to achieve the goals of such development. This can only result from an understanding of the historical, cultural and social contexts of a given society or community.

Equity and inclusiveness

A society’s well being depends on ensuring that all its members feel that they have a stake in it and do not feel excluded from the mainstream of society. This requires all groups, but particularly the most vulnerable, have opportunities to improve or maintain their well being.

Effectiveness and efficiency

Good governance means that processes and institutions produce results that meet the needs of society while making the best use of resources at their disposal. The concept of efficiency in the context of good governance also covers the sustainable use of natural resources and the protection of the environment.

Accountability

Accountability is a key requirement of good governance. Not only governmental institutions but also the private sector and civil society organizations must be accountable to the public and to their institutional stakeholders. Who is accountable to whom varies depending on whether decisions or actions taken are internal or external to an organization or institution. In general an organization or an institution is accountable to those who will be affected by its decisions or actions. Accountability cannot be enforced without transparency and the rule of law.

CONCLUSION

From the above discussion it should be clear that good governance is an ideal which is difficult to achieve in its totality. Very few countries and societies have come close to achieving good governance in its totality. However, to ensure sustainable human development, actions must be taken to work towards this ideal with the aim of making it a reality. visit www.theagentofchange-ng.com
