HISTORICAL PATTERNS OF GOVERNANCE FAILURES LEADING TO PUBLIC OUTCRY IN NIGERIA (A CASE STUDY OF ENDBADGOVERNANCE PROTEST IN NIGERIA)
Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
The history of governance in Nigeria is replete with instances of public dissatisfaction and protests, often triggered by governance failures. These governance issues, characterized by corruption, mismanagement, and lack of accountability, have frequently led to significant public outcry. The EndBadGovernance protests in 2024 exemplify a recurring pattern where the cumulative effect of governance failures provokes widespread dissent and demands for reform (Channelstv, 2024; Aljazeera, 2024).
Nigeria’s post-independence era has been marked by a series of governance challenges that have undermined public trust in political institutions. From military coups to civilian administrations, the country has struggled with issues such as electoral fraud, nepotism, and economic mismanagement. These systemic problems have periodically ignited protests, with citizens expressing their frustration and calling for change (Premium Times, 2024; Punchng, 2024).
The EndBadGovernance protests, sparked by the deteriorating economic situation and perceived government indifference, are part of a larger historical context of governance failures. Understanding the historical patterns that lead to such protests is crucial for addressing the root causes of public discontent and fostering better governance practices in Nigeria.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
The recurring nature of public protests in Nigeria, often in response to governance failures, indicates a persistent problem that has not been adequately addressed. The central issue is the historical pattern of governance failures that lead to public outcry, as exemplified by the EndBadGovernance protests. This study aims to investigate these patterns and their implications for governance and public policy (Channelstv, 2024; Aljazeera, 2024).
Despite various reforms and interventions, governance failures continue to provoke public dissent, suggesting a need for a deeper understanding of the historical context and persistent issues. This research seeks to explore the underlying factors that have historically led to protests in Nigeria and to assess the implications for future governance reforms.
1.3 Objectives of the Study
- To examine the historical patterns of governance failures in Nigeria leading to public protests.
- To analyze the specific governance issues that triggered the EndBadGovernance protests.
- To assess the implications of these historical patterns for future governance reforms in Nigeria.
1.4 Research Questions
- What are the historical patterns of governance failures in Nigeria that have led to public protests?
- What specific governance issues triggered the EndBadGovernance protests?
- What are the implications of these historical patterns for future governance reforms in Nigeria?
1.5 Significance of the Study
This study is significant as it provides a historical perspective on governance failures in Nigeria, offering insights into the recurring issues that lead to public protests. By understanding these patterns, policymakers and researchers can develop more effective strategies to address governance challenges and prevent future unrest.
The findings will contribute to the broader field of governance studies by highlighting the long-term effects of governance failures and the importance of addressing systemic issues. This knowledge is valuable for informing governance reforms and improving public trust in political institutions.
Additionally, the study will enhance our understanding of the EndBadGovernance protests within a historical context, providing a comprehensive analysis of the factors that led to the movement and its implications for governance in Nigeria.
1.6 Scope and Delimitation of the Study
The study focuses on the historical patterns of governance failures in Nigeria, specifically examining instances that have led to significant public protests. The scope includes a detailed analysis of the EndBadGovernance protests in 2024 and the governance issues that triggered them. The research does not cover all protests in Nigeria's history but focuses on those directly related to governance failures.
