Item Fundamental Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy in Constitutions: The Nigeria and India Experience(Faculty of Law, Islamic University in Uganda, 2007) Adebayo, Mahmud Kayode; Da'ud, Kamla Alhaji; Bazza, Issa HadizaThe concept of fundamental objectives and directive principles of state policy as proclaimed in constitutions deals with a range of subjects ranging from freedom, equality, justice, participatory democracy, to social justice as the ideas upon which the nation is founded and declares by way of amplification that the welfare of the citizens shall be the primary purpose of government. it is important and worthy of note that the ideas and values to be enshrined in the constitution should be truly fundamental ones, widely shared in the community and not sectional objectives of a group or the particulasr social and economic policies of a ruling party. By enshrining the concept of fundamental objectives and directives principles of state policy in constitutions, the direction in which the state is to go in its economic life is thus made clear for all to see and uncertainty and controversy are removed. These ideas and objectives are not immutable, the fact that they are included in the constitution, they are relevant in value, time and place, hence the focus of this paper for the justifiably and enforceability of these rights.Item In Defense of Boko Haram Insurgency and the Constitutionality or Otherwise of the Declaration of State of Emergency by President Goodluck Jonathan in Some Selected Local Government Areas of Some States in Northern Nigeria(Faculty of Law, Rivers State University of Science and Technology, Port Harcourt, 2013) Adebayo, Mahmud Kayode; Da'ud, Kamla Alhaji; Tagi, Sule MohammedThere is no doubt denying the fact that if the Boko Haram Insurgence is not resolved in the earliest possible time it could lead to the destabilization of the country.

The cost so far is nearly inestimable, hundreds of lives have been lost in the sect's campaign of targeted assassination, attacks on security personnel, detonation of explosives along roadside, attacks on banks and so on. if this atmosphere of distrust and suspicion is allowed to go on among, it could provoke a major crisis that may lead to the break up of the country. the insurgence so far has defile known solution. The measures adopted by the government so far is worsening the situation. The only option now is to declare a state of emergency in the affected areas; hence the focus of this paper in elucidating the circumstances that led to this proclamation, the constitutional issues involved, the activities of the sect, their modus operandi, the mission statement and the possible way out of this quagmire
