Abstract

This paper examines the military and democracy within the context of Nigeria’s historical and socio political reality. Nigeria’s inability to foster a sustainable democratic tradition has negative consequences for the country. The quest for democracy and therefore development in Nigeria has been hindered by the disruptive influences of militarism. The military’s love for power stems partially from a love for wealth and partly from its self-image as the custodian of the independent and corporate existence of the country. If the democratic tradition is to be sustained in Nigeria, constitutional as well as policy measures should be adopted to tackle the issue of militarism.

尼日利亚的民主化和军队:第四共和国及以后持久的军民关系案例
本文考察了尼日利亚的历史和社会政治现实背景下的军事和民主。尼日利亚无法培育可持续的民主传统,这对该国产生了负面影响。军国主义的破坏性影响阻碍了尼日利亚对民主和发展的追求。军方对权力的热爱部分源于对财富的热爱,部分源于其作为国家独立和集体存在的保管人的自我形象。如果要在尼日利亚维持民主传统,就应该采取宪法和政策措施来解决军国主义问题。
