Abstract

Post-Soviet Russia pursues very difficult foreign policy objectives in its relations with African states and in doing so it often draws on the relationships, partnerships, and formal and informal networks forged during the Cold War. Russia has abandoned its promotion of socialism to pursue crude economic interests via its business elite, based on values that appear to be in stark contrast to the conventions of Western liberalism. Undoubtedly, the Nigeria-Russia bilateral relations during the Post Cold War have had both good and difficult experience. This study therefore is an assessment of the Nigeria and Russia economic ties from the historical point of view relying on traditional diplomatic theory as a tool to trace the existing diplomatic ties between the two countries. In conclusion, Nigeria-Russia relations have come of age, despite some psychological differences and suspicions, there are lots of gains and work is still needed to be done in the direction of media and cultural exchanges and some trade favorable policies on the part of Russian government to allow more Nigerian exports, while it is desirable that Nigeria and Russia move their bilateral relation to a new level of active cooperation in important and strategic economic sectors. The study therefore recommends among others that the economic relations between the two countries should be strengthening and make more emphasis than before on the development of cooperation at the level of small and middle-size enterprises.

Abstract

The formulation, adoption and implementation of appropriate trade-oriented economic policies have become imperative as an indispensable tool for stimulating and regulating trade development process. A more favorable trade negotiation position combined with sound political, macroeconomic and infrastructural policy frameworks is the best route to stimulating trade performance and reaps the benefits of fuller participation in the global trading system. In light of this, this paper examines potential future areas of stronger collaboration between Nigeria and Türkiye and presents specific policy recommendations. In particular, the paper contributes to economic policy-making efforts in terms of current dynamics and future prospects of increased bilateral relations. Also, Türkiyes policy and specific initiatives toward the African continent was discussed. The new atmosphere of the 100th anniversary of the republic of Türkiye notwithstanding the controversy about its orientation, including those toward Africa connected with the goal of establishing hegemony, economic and political investments in Nigeria would bring about a new momentum to bilateral relations. In conclusion, in their search for alternative export markets, Turkish exporters now consider that Nigeria has great potential for meeting their economic interests. This paper therefore is a wakeup call that will advance the economic and political co-operation between Türkiye and Nigeria going forward.

Abstract

This study explored the potential effects of Justin Trudeau's planned resignation on immigration reforms, U.S.-Canada trade relations, and geostrategic dynamics in North America under Donald Trump's presidency. Using a historical research approach, the study examined the political developments and policy changes during Trudeau's time in office, considering their future implications following his expected departure. The study utilized the Realist Theory of International Relations, focusing on the role of national interest and power in shaping relationships between states. The findings suggest that Trudeau’s resignation could lead to significant shifts in Canada’s immigration policies, potentially resulting in more restrictive measures aligned with conservative ideologies. In terms of trade, U.S.-Canada relations, already complicated by Trump’s protectionist stance and the USMCA renegotiation, may face greater instability, impacting the region’s economic stability. Furthermore, Trudeau’s departure could alter the geostrategic balance in North America, diminishing Canada’s diplomatic influence in trilateral negotiations with the U.S. and Mexico, as well as its position in global affairs. The study concluded that Trudeau's resignation would create a leadership gap that could challenge Canada’s policy continuity and international relationships. The study recommended among others that Canada should diversify its trade relationships to lessen dependence on the U.S., focusing on building stronger connections with emerging economies in Asia, the EU, and Africa.

Abstract

Abstract. Territorial fragmentation remains a major obstacle to national unity and sustainable development in multi-ethnic societies, especially in Nigeria, where ethnic, religious, and regional divides continue to weaken national integration. This study explores the potential of amalgamation as a solution to territorial disunity, focusing on the Nigerian experience. Adopting a historical research approach, the study draws from colonial archives, government documents, and scholarly literature to examine the historical formation of Nigeria, particularly the 1914 merger of the Northern and Southern Protectorates by British colonial powers. The research aims to determine whether amalgamation, as a political and administrative mechanism, can effectively resolve the persistent challenges associated with fragmentation in the country. The study was guided by the Structural Functionalism Theory, which highlights the necessity of coordinated interactions among various societal institutions to maintain stability and order. The findings indicated that although the 1914 amalgamation served colonial administrative purposes, it lacked critical components such as voluntary participation, cultural harmony, and fair governance structures. These deficiencies have contributed to deep-seated ethnic mistrust, marginalization, and ongoing calls for secession. The study concludes that amalgamation alone, without inclusive and equitable governance, is insufficient to address the problems of disunity. The study recommended, among others, the adoption of genuine federalism, which would grant regional units greater autonomy while maintaining a cohesive national framework. Such an arrangement would promote cooperation, minimize ethnic friction, and strengthen long-term national integration.

Abstract

Migration has changed over time in reaction to happenings and events around the world. The present surge in irregular migration was spurred by the absence of equitable social, political, and economic possibilities in many nations across the world. People are encouraged to go for better possibilities in other regions due to the unequal chances. This study therefore addressed the causes and trends of irregular migration in Nigeria with an emphasis on the push and pull variables that contribute to Nigerians' Japa syndrome. The collected data was analysed using the trend analysis approach, and the study employed a historical research design. This study concluded that migration is a means of pursuing greater possibilities abroad due to a chronic lack of work opportunities, income prospects, profitable employment, safety, and security, among other things. Fundamentally, economic opportunism that is, the enhancement of one's standard of living, the welfare of one's family, and other aspects that may guarantee the significance and relevance of the individual and their household contextualizes irregular migration in Nigeria. Since 2019, there has been a noticeable increase in the rate of migration abroad. Many young, bright, active, and industrious youths have been pushed to leave the country by these conditions, and this has resulted in the "Japa Syndrome or Japa Wave" in Nigeria.
