2006 The Unresolved Issues:


Although the entire country feels exhausted by the economy and politics, in another regard we have achieved certain things we can feel good about in the past year.


The most memorable is the political change that has taken place in the country. 

It was a year in which INEC [Independent National Electoral Commission] widened the field of politics by registering a vast array of political parties, which now number up to 50. This is something that helped to increase the ability of all citizens to participate in political activities.

Plans were drawn up for a hand-over to a new, elected government. When the 2007 election takes place, it will be said that we have broken the curse that has been preventing a transfer of power from one elected civilian government to another elected civilian government in Nigeria, and this will securely put Nigeria on the path of lasting democracy.

Then, when the year was ending, the attempt that the office of the president made to prolong the administration’s tenure caused Nigerians to speak with one voice. Nigerians emerged from their shells, , and fought the plan to prolong the tenure of President Olusegun Obasanjo’s administration. The look on the faces of the mass of citizens in 2006 forced members of the national legislature to reject any changes to the country’s constitution that sought to prolong the president’s tenure to a 3rd term.

Another thing that was achieved was the withdrawal of a plan to use an electronic mechanism that is “Electronic Voting System” (EVS), which the independent electoral commission, INEC, had proposed for conducting the 2007 national elections. From an economic angle, there was apprehension as well as we also had an opportunity to reform the banking sector. The new regulation from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) mandating that banks must have at least 25 billion naira to operate or they would be shut down strengthened the banking industry upon which both depositors and investors depend.

In 2006, we also witnessed how the “Transnational Company of Nigeria” – better known as TRANSCORP –transformed itself from a marketing agency to a full-fledged investment company for financial transactions. The firm is viewed as an important industry that could lift the country out of lackluster performance in the hotel and tourism fields. The company, which was expected to make just 6 billion Naira in one year, ended up making a whopping 19 billion Naira.

In the preceding year, Nigeria and the Paris Club signed an agreement that forgave the country more than 50 percent of the debt that it owed to the Paris Club. This means that the Paris Club forgave Nigeria 18 billion dollars out of 30 billion dollars in 2006. Undoubtedly, this was very encouraging.

If we look at other events, we would say that the year began on a bad note and a great deal of shock for Nigerians due to the tragic air crash of a Bellview flight at Lisa in Ogun State, in which 169 passengers and crew lost their lives.

It was the year in which Nigeria found itself immersed in the controversy surrounding the alleged attempt by the Obasanjo administration to extend its tenure in office. Before the beginning of the year, we kept hearing rumors of a high-level plan for a third term; then, after the year started, the matter heated up.

The issue became public during a national conference on restructuring government positions, which the federal government had arranged without permission from the national assembly. Suddenly, the conference switched gears and focused more on prolonging, the administration’s tenure. Throughout the many months of the conference, no other issue got more attention than the issue of prolonging the administration’s tenure. Although Obasanjo refused to admit he had a hand in these discussions, Nigerians continued to be divided on the matter, and the issue kept heating up to such a level that even the world community issued warnings to Nigeria, should Obasanjo stay in power beyond 29 May 2007.

As the year 2006 began, so it ended with an increase in political assassinations. One of the cases believed to have involved hired killers was the murder of the PDP governor candidate for Lagos State, Mr. Funsho William. Trigger-happy hoodlums who have yet to be caught killed Mr. William at his house in Lagos. So it was with another leading PDP candidate for governor, Doctor Ayo Daramola: someone who was accused of working for the ousted governor Ayo Fayose allegedly murdered him. . Before the year ended, someone killed a close associate of the Lagos PDP candidate for governor in Lagos.

The year 2006 was full of governors who were impeached, allegedly with the full backing and possible involvement of the presidency, something that the other, remaining governors were not at all happy about. It started with Governor Rashidi Ladoja of Oyo State, whom 18 out of 32 legislators removed on 26 January, then Governor Peter Obi of Anambra State and Governor Joshua Dariye, who were both ousted under chaotic circumstances. But after long legal maneuverings, the High Court of Nigeria restored Ladoja to his position in December. Then the Supreme Court of Anambra State at Akwa ordered the restoration of Governor Obi to his position at the end of 2006, while Governor Dariye continued to challenge his own impeachment before the court.

The long-running dispute between Obasanjo and his vice-president Atiku Abubakar was another major controversy that dominated discourse during the year. Ever since Obasanjo publicly accused his vice president of disloyalty to him in August 2005, they became estranged from each other. The matter took on a new, uglier turn when the presidency chose to force president out of his office, after which Atiku decamped to the AC [Action Congress] party as its presidential candidate.

It was in 2006 that certain emerging signals suggesting a conspiracy to stop the general national elections planned for 2007 from happening. The most serious indication was the flawed preparations that the INEC was making for the election. The Commission took a firm stand in saying that it would go ahead with organizing the election electronically, while in the end fewer than five million people had been registered out of the more than 70 million who were eligible.

The country’s security also suffered due to an increase in the incidence of serious crimes, especially in the Niger-Delta area. Gun-toting gangs kidnapped foreigners working for oil companies in the area and took them hostage, which brought Nigeria a bad name and reluctance by the world community to do business with the country. The hostage-takers’ motive was to gain more freedom for their region. 

Firing workers from their jobs was part of a plan by the federal government to shift control of the economy, and it only produced hardships for many families throughout this country in 2006.

And for those who resided in the federal capital city of Abuja, the year was not particularly pleasant, when the Abuja authorities revived their plan to restore the original layout of the city by demolishing all illegally-constructed buildings. Houses and kiosks had earlier been demolished, and their owners relocated to various places outside the city. The prohibition of scooter-taxis was also something that caused an uproar and heated arguments, and brought suffering to commuters. And at the very end of the year, long lines at petrol stations congested the city, which produced anger and frustration from workers.

During the last week of the year, the country fell into a state of shock and mourning over the deaths of hundreds of Nigerians who perished in the blaze of an oil pipeline in Lagos; a blaze that was blamed on security officials, who created an explosive situation for the petrol thieves, when the officials allowed the oil to flow, until fire broke out; a result of the poverty that is thought to motivate people to tap this fool’s oil for loot.

Based on the events that took place in it, 2006 is among those years in which Nigeria has found itself immersed in too many controversial situations. It has seen great challenges to its economy, politics and public affairs. Nigerians who have been lucky enough to live to the end of the year will give thanks that they survived. Now we only have to worry about what awaits us in this new year of 2007.

Democracy has progressed, people are more and more involved in politics and decision making on matters that determine the future of the country, like blocking the President from manipulating his way to another term, the efforts of the INEC to give an opportunity to a greater number of candidates and paving the way to elections. In the economic sector, corporate businesses and banks are booming, even debt relief is obtained. Tragedies have struck the country, adding to the number of deaths from unrest and crime. Oil, the national wealth, is also a problem with supply shortages locally, and insecurities surrounding it. Small business owners and workers are also dissatisfied and pessimistic.</eng-response>

               <eng-response>This report depicts the different aspects of Nigerian political and socioeconomic life in a balanced series of fortunate and unfortunate events that marked the year 2006. The INEC paves the way and lays a solid foundation for democratic elections, through hardship, yet there is another battle for transparency in the appointment of governors. The attempt of the President to change the constitution in order to get another term in power is overturned by the people with the support of the Senate after months of confusion. The debt relief, the booming banking system and corporate businesses are significant achievements, although small local businesses are undermined by decisions that affect ordinary citizens who are striving to make ends meet as well. Although the year started and ended with tragedies, the people who live should be grateful, the writer said.</eng-response>

Many changes have occurred in the political realm, which in the long run will benefit the country’s economic and social stability. The interdependence of citizens through small business and work has been affected by new regulations that are not welcomed and could spark unrest and violence that may affect foreign workers in the oil industry. The legal system is corrupt and unfair in the sense that governors are covered by the authorities even when they are believed to have committed crimes.
