Conceptualising Nigeria as a weak state, the article identifies the failed prebendal relationship between politicians in northern Nigeria and members of Boko Haram, and the extra-judicial killing on 30 July 2009 of Mohammed Yusuf, as agential causations of the current wave of radical Islamism...Item Conflict-Orphaned Children and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in Nigeria's Fourth-Republic(Centre for Peace and Strategic Studies, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria, 2014) Animasawun, Gbemisola Abdul-Jelil; Adeleye, MoradekeAs children orphaned are displaced by violence conflicts and living outside their homes, this research probes for the presence and extent of Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in each of these (18) children against the background of their traumatic experiences of losing their parents to sectarian violence and witnessing their slaughtering in some in two instances. Also, the PTSD test revealed that 66.7% of them have adopted avoidance of any reminder of the experience as a coping mechanism, while 55.6% of them still suffer from functional impairment...Item Democratisation and Impeachments in Nigeria's Fourth Republic(Peace and Conflict Studies Programme, Institute of African Studies, University of Ibadan 2012, 2012) Animasawun, Gbemisola Abdul-JelilItem Designing a Peace Intervention Process for Communities in Conflicts in Nigeria(Department of Political Science, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of ilorin, 2019) Animasawun, Gbemisola Abdul-JelilItem Electoral Violence, Politicians and Lumpens in Nigeria's Fourth Republic(Centre for Peace and Strategic Studies, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria, 2013-01) Animasawun, Gbemisola Abdul-JelilSince 1990 when Nigeria's fourth-republic started, elections have become antithetical to the consolidation of democracy because of the pate of horrendous violence that occurs before, during and after elections amonst other ills that have defined the democratisation process. Conspicous in the series of violence; are youth lumpens whose activities torpedo consolidation of democracy and political security. However, the fact that they do not operate on their own for themselves implies that they have sponsors. Therefore, this article presents the organisation, mobilisation and source of sponsorship for lumpens involved in electoral violence in Abeokuta North Local Government in Ogun State...Item Everyday People, Autochthony, and Indigene-Settler Crises in Lagos Commodity Markets(Indiana University Press, office of Scholarly Publishing, 2016) Animasawun, Gbemisola Abdul-JelilLocal markets in Nigerian cities are under-studied but ubiquitous and ancient sites of inter-ethnic conflicts and cooperation of everyday people (traders). Against the backdrop of indigene-settler conflicts in two major markets in Lagos, this study examines the causes of these conflicts, defined by the advertorial use of autochthony, their management and outcomes, and how macro-inter-ethnic relations inflect conflict and cooperation in local markets...Item Farmers'-Herders' Crisis in Nigeria(Society for Peace Studies and Practice (SPSP), 2019) Animasawun, Gbemisola Abdul-JelilItem Godfatherism in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic(IFRA-NIGERIA, 2013) Animasawun, Gbemisola Abdul-JelilGodfatherism based on a patron-client relationship has emerged as a phenomenon hindering participation, political security and peace as it torpedoes the consolidation of democracy since Nigeria’s fourth republic commenced in 1999. Widespread political violence created insecurity whenever the godsons failed to fulfil pledges made to their godfathers especially on the allotment of appointments and sometimes sharing of state resources amongst others in many states of the country. It made politics violent and extractive rather than being peaceful and productive. In Oyo-State, Chief Lamidi Adedibu, an Ibadan based octogenarian was the godfather of politics in the State because of his ability to ensure victory for many seekers of elective offices in the State. From 2003 to 2007, violence and political insecurity pervaded the political space especially in Ibadan consequent upon the broken relationship between Chief Adedibu and Senator Rashidi Ladoja after the latter reneged on promises made to his godfather on becoming the governor of Oyo State in 2003. This paper examines Chief Adedibu as political godfather and the variables that sustained him within the context of the theory of economy of affection espoused by Goran Hyden. The study was carried out in three out of the five Local Governhment Areas in Ibadan metropolis using mainly qualitative methods of indepth interviews with purposively selected respondents considered germane to the objectives of the study including late Chief Lamidi Adedibu. This paper concludes that Adedibu’s patronage system of politics was pyramidal with him on the top; while the poor, lumpens and thugs, members of the transport union and local politicians constituted the core of his dependants and vectors of violence.Item Inter-Faith Relations in Nigeria's Fourth Republic(Centre for Ilorin Studies (CILS) University of Ilorin, Ilorin, 2013) Animasawun, Gbemisola Abdul-JelilItem Introduction to Conflict Studies(Malthouse Press Limited, 2015) Animasawun, Gbemisola Abdul-JelilItem The Jos Crisis and Narratives of Autochthony and Land(Centre for Peace and Strategic Studies, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria, 2013) Animasawun, Gbemisola Abdul-JelilDespite the continued presence of the military in Jos, north-central Nigeria for the maintenance of public order, it is apparent that this has only deterred conflicting parties from initiating large scale attack. However, while the presence of the military prevents open violent exchanges, it has not stopped isolated killings which this article posits is principally sustained by constructed narratives of enemy images. This article identifies the use of rhetorical narratives on autochthony and ownership of land and the abuse of supposedly civic platforms for acts that are inimical to civic tolerance and civility have become non-lethal weapons of war...Item LEADERSHIP TARGETING AS A COUNTERTERRORISM STRATEGY(African Peacebuilding Network APN, 2018) Animasawun, Gbemisola Abdul-JelilItem Managing Fault Lines in Nigeria’s Protracted Conflicts(Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ibadan, Nigeria, 2014) Animasawun, Gbemisola Abdul-JelilThe protracted crisis in Plateau State keeps worsening in terms of casualties and tenor. This is despite the continued intervention of the Nigerian State through measures such as military deployment and constitution of commissions of inquiry; which constitute Track-One approaches. Although, not without a history, recent manifestations of the conflict since 1999 when the fourthrepublic commenced have been characterised by the use of more lethal weapons, poisoning of wells in the rural areas, mob attacks, reprisal attacks in and around Jos, bombings of religious gatherings and centres, house-to-house attacks, ambush laying for vehicles during which commuters are ordered down for identification as indigenes and settlers before getting mauled; demarcation of areas along ethno-religious lines; all of these point to erupting contours of fault lines while portending a rehash of the genocide in Rwanda in 1994. These happenings indicate a worsening of the conflict which calls to question the efficacy of the approaches so far adopted by both the federal and state governments in effectively managing the crisis thereby necessitating an urgent change in approaches. In particular, the continued presence of the military seems not to be yielding the desired effects. Sequel to this, this paper proposes the combination of Tracks 1 (state) and Track 2 (NGOs and Professionals) of the Multi-Track-Diplomacy concept as a step forward. Based on secondary data, this article envisages that the provision of militaristic and nonmilitaristic infrastructure for peace by a combination of Track 1 and Track 2 in the conflict-ridden has potentials for sustainable peace and security.Item Marginal Men & Urban Social Conflicts(Boydell & Brewer Inc., 2017) Animasawun, Gbemisola Abdul-JelilItem The Military and Internal Security Operations in Nigeria's Fourth Republic(PEACE RESEARCH, 2012) Animasawun, Gbemisola Abdul-JelilThe deployment of the military for internal security operations in (post) conflict communities comes with its own peculiar challenges which are often locale-specific, as in the case of victims of alleged military excess in the Maiduguri metropolis in northeastern Nigeria. This article posits that, given accusations of human rights abuses and extra-judicial killings levelled against members of the military force by civilians as the military strives to enforce its mandate of the "Right to Protect" in the city, the type of peace resulting from prolonged military occupation in Maiduguri constitutes negative peace or a "victor's peace"...Item Militias in Nigeria's Fourth-republic(Centre for Peace Studies and Conflict Management (CPSCM) Taraba State University, Jalingo, Nigeria, 2019) Animasawun, Gbemisola Abdul-JelilDespite the reduction of secessionist moves in post-Cold War Africa, the continued existence of ethnic and religious militias within many of these States, including Nigeria, underscores their fragitility. The recent emergence of an Islamist militia (Boko-Haram) localized in core northern Nigeria perceived as fast-losing out in the distribution of power in the Fourth-Republic reflects the extent of ethnic and religious insecurity in Nigeria...Item Olusola Saraki, Charismatic Leadership, and Patron-Client Relations in Modern Ilorin(Palgrave Macmillan, 2016) Animasawun, Gbemisola Abdul-JelilItem PCR(National Open University of Nigeria, 2013) Animasawun, Gbemisola Abdul-Jelil
