Politics / How Nigeria Won Its First Democratic Power Transfer: The Economist Explain by felsunseg(m): 1:50pm On Apr 07, 2015
Felsunseg:
NIGERIA made history in its 2015 presidential
elections. In the March 28-29th vote, deemed mostly
free and fair, Muhammadu Buhari became the first
opposition leader to eject an incumbent president at
the ballot box. Goodluck Jonathan, whose People’s
Democratic Party (PDP) has been in charge since the end of military rule in 1999, accepted his loss with
grace. He will step down in May, leaving his long-time
political foe in charge of Africa’s biggest economy
and its most populous nation. How did this democracy
come of age?

Nigeria is a rich country full of poor people. Despite
pumping roughly 2m barrels of oil per day, most of its
population lives in abject poverty. Much of the blame
for that falls on elected politicians, who have spent
years lining their pockets with the booty. Billions
disappear from the accounts of the opaque state- owned oil company. A rainy-day savings account was
depleted even when prices were high. Even worse,
government members are accused of involvement in
industrial-scale theft, which plunders 100,000 barrels
of black gold a day. If corruption and theft were not
enough, Mr Jonathan’s government also failed utterly to stop Boko Haram, whose six-year-old
military campaign has cost 15,000 lives. Workings of
the country's electric power network is little better
than in the days of the military junta, millions of
children are out of school, and healthcare is a
disgrace. Each of those issues is a shameful indictment of the PDP, which has had both the time
and money to make improvements.

A lack of political accountability may have had
something to do with that poor performance. In the
past the PDP faced little opposition. Rival parties were
small and appealed to narrow regional and ethnic
interests. Mr Buhari, who swept to power in a coup in
the 1980s, had contested three previous elections without coming close. His chances changed in 2013,
when four of those parties merged to form the All
Progressives Congress (APC). On this ticket, the
dictator-turned-democrat rode the wave of national
discontent like a pro. His reputation as tough on
security and corruption grew legendary. A clever campaign positioned him as the face of “change”
for Nigeria. Once this might not have mattered; the
government would have rigged its way to victory
regardless. This time, biometric-voting technology
made fixing the outcome more difficult. Mr Buhari,
who hails from the predominantly Islamic north, won overwhelming margins from devoted disciples there.
Yet his party also made unprecedented inroads into
the central and south-western zones. That dispelled
conventional narratives about sectarian voting, and
showed that Nigerians, not just northerners, were
ready for new direction.


A peaceful handover will be transformative for
Nigeria. For the first time its people feel they have the
power to hold their politicians to account. It will also
send a meaningful signal across Africa. After years of
progress, democracy on the continent has slid of late.
Leaders in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda and the Republic of Congo have made moves
to extend their terms. There is much they could learn
from Mr Jonathan, who did more in standing down
than he ever managed in leadership.

Politics / Nigeria's Election: Hail To Democracy by felsunseg(m): 12:48am On Apr 01, 2015
The ousting of an incumbent president at the
ballot box in Africa’s most populous country
marks a hopeful step for democracy across the continent


ECSTATIC crowds engulfed Kano’s streets as it
became clear that Muhammadu Buhari, a former
military strongman who ruled Nigeria in the 1980s,
had led an opposition party to victory in a presidential
contest for the first time in the country’s history.
Passengers piled on top of lorries waved the national flag as drivers honked their horns in northern
Nigeria’s biggest city. Jubilant drumbeating revellers
shouted the name of the man back in the seat of
power after an absence of three decades.

“We will celebrate for seven days,” said Aliyu
Haruna Aliyu, a farmer outside the headquarters of Mr
Buhari’s All Progressives Congress. “We have won
the most free and fair election ever to take place in
Nigeria. This is a new Nigeria.” It is indeed a watershed for Africa’s biggest
democracy and most populous country, 170m-strong.
The defeated president, Goodluck Jonathan, graciously
conceded defeat, acknowledging that the rule of his
People’s Democratic Party, unbroken since the
generals gave way to a civilian government in 1999, had ended. Mr Buhari, a northern Muslim who led a coup in 1983,
had fought the three previous elections in vain. This
time he won all the northern states but also made
inroads in the south and centre, easily meeting the
electoral requirement that the winner must get at
least a quarter of the votes in two-thirds of the 36 states to show support across the tribal and sectarian
spectrum.

The party has a lot to prove. It has proclaimed itself
the harbinger of change, winning over voters
disgusted by their government’s dishonesty and its
failure to end an Islamist insurgency in the north-east
that has cost at least 15,000 lives. Despite the brutally repressive regime headed by Mr
Buhari in the 1980s, people are putting enormous faith
in him. His fierce denunciation of corruption and his
frugal lifestyle appeal to the poor, who make up the
majority of Nigerians. Many of them think it will take a
former general to root out the corruption rampant in the upper echelons of the army and to defeat the
jihadists. “We will end Boko Haram,” his party’s
posters promised.

But Mr Buhari will be hamstrung from the start by an
economy that relies massively on oil for government
revenue and foreign exchange. The federal coffers
have emptied as the price of oil has tumbled. Mr
Buhari says he will make up the difference by cutting
waste and corruption. Yet some of his most senior party men are crooks. Moreover, as a Muslim from the north, Mr Buhari may
find it hard to contain violence in the Niger delta, in the
south. Fighters in that oil-producing region laid down
their arms in 2009 and have since grown fat on
amnesty payments and dodgy security contracts.
Some of them promised to return to war if Mr Buhari’s lot, who are expected to do away with the
expensive peace pact, won. Mr Jonathan, a Christian from the delta, had banked on
landslide wins in that region. He did notch up a hefty
vote there, but people failed to turn out for him in the
same dedicated masses as Mr Buhari’s fans in the
north. In Kano, the second most populous state,
almost 2m people queued for hours in the baking sun to cast their votes for him, whereas Mr Jonathan’s
tally there was paltry. Mr Buhari also won Lagos,
Nigeria’s burgeoning commercial capital, whose GDP
exceeds that of many west African countries. He
swung a lot of voters who had previously backed Mr
Jonathan onto his side in the south-west and in the so- called middle belt, defying the conventional wisdom
that Nigerians vote almost entirely along ethnic and
religious lines. The poll was still marred by technical glitches, Boko
Haram terror and concerns that the electoral
commission might succumb to political interference in
collating the figures. But Attahiru Jega, the
commission’s indefatigable head, has received well-
deserved plaudits for maintaining his independence in overseeing the process. He withstood government
pressure to ban new permanent voter cards and
biometric readers which, despite teething problems,
made box-stuffing harder. “Analogue rigging met
digital countermeasures,” said Tunji Lardner, a civil-
society campaigner. “Analogue lost.” The current government has another two months in
power. A peaceful handover at the end of May would
send a telling signal to leaders elsewhere in Africa,
some of whom want to breach their constitutional
term limits. Meanwhile Nigerians hope that their first-
ever ejection of an incumbent president at the ballot box marks the maturing of their democracy. “If
things are not better with Buhari”, says Aisha Musa,
a housewife in Kano, “we will get rid of him in four
years’ time.” source: http://www.economist.com/news/middle-east-and-africa/21647596-ousting-incumbent-president-ballot-box-africas-most-populous-country-marks-hopeful?fsrc=scn/tw/te/bl/hailtodemocracy

Education / Meet Nigeria 10-year-old Maths Genius: Esther Okade. by felsunseg(m): 8:32am On Mar 10, 2015
felsunseg:
Esther Okade is a 10-year-old British-Nigerian
student
She recently enrolled at the Open University in the UK
Already top of her class scoring 100% in a recent
exam
Took A-level exams, a British secondary school qualification, last year

At first glance Esther Okade seems like a normal 10-year-old. She loves dressing up as Elsa
from "Frozen," playing with Barbie dolls and going to
the park or shopping. But what makes the British-Nigerian youngster stand
out is the fact that she's also a university
undergraduate. Esther, from Walsall, an industrial town in the UK's
West Midlands region, is one of the country's youngest
college freshmen. The talented 10-year-old enrolled at the Open
University, a UK-based distance learning college, in
January and is already top of the class, having
recently scored 100% in a recent exam. "It's so interesting. It has the type of maths I love. It's
real maths -- theories, complex numbers, all that type
of stuff," she giggles. "It was super easy. My mum
taught me in a nice way." She adds: "I want to (finish the course) in two years.
Then I'm going to do my PhD in financial maths when
I'm 13. I want to have my own bank by the time I'm
15 because I like numbers and I like people and
banking is a great way to help people." And in case people think her parents have pushed her
into starting university early, Esther emphatically
disagrees. "I actually wanted to start when I was seven. But my
mum was like, "you're too young, calm down." After
three years of begging, mother Efe finally agreed to
explore the idea. A marvelous mathematical mind Esther has always jumped ahead of her peers. She sat
her first Math GSCE exam, a British high school
qualification, at Ounsdale School in Wolverhampton at
just six, where she received a C-grade. A year later,
she outdid herself and got the A-grade she wanted.
Then last year she scored a B-grade when she sat the Math A-level exam. Esther's mother noticed her daughter's flair for figures
shortly after she began homeschooling her at the age
of three. Initially, Esther's parents had enrolled her in
a private school but after a few short weeks, the pair
began noticing changes in the usually-vibrant
youngster. Efe says: "One day we were coming back home and
she burst out in tears and she said 'I don't ever want
to go back to that school -- they don't even let me
talk!' "In the UK, you don't have to start school until you are
five. Education is not compulsory until that age so I
thought OK, we'll be doing little things at home until
then. Maybe by the time she's five she will change her
mind."
Efe started by teaching basic number skills but Esther
was miles ahead. By four, her natural aptitude for
maths had seen the eager student move on to algebra
and quadratic equations. And Esther isn't the only maths prodigy in the family.
Her younger brother Isaiah, 6, will soon be sitting his
first A-level exam in June. Source: http://edition.cnn.com/2015/03/09/africa/esther-okade-maths-genius/index.html
