PRESIDENCY AND MILITARY AGANDA

In the post-modern society, life is full of risks and danger due to the maturity of technology because act of terrorism has reached its climax and militarization is the order of the day. In view of the speech of President Jonathan on May 15, 2013. On which he declare state of emergency in Adamawa, Borno, and Yobe state of Nigeria, as he lamented over on high level of militancy, criminality, and act of terrorism bedevil the nation, the declaration is aim at restoring public order, public safety and security in the affected states of the Federation, but it depict military influence and other economic impact as analyses below

The ideological underpinning of the speech could be seen from different point of view, I specifically view it form post-modern paradigm because of the changes that occur in Nigeria and incident of bombs here and there. More over the activities of insurgents and terrorists have been reprehensible, causing fear among Nigerians and a near-breakdown of law and order in parts of the country. In these scenario government of the day lamented over and over, in order to tackle the issue, the enter into persuasion and dialogue  but there effort prove abortive, due to the high level of militancy and criminality couple with  sophisticate weapons which were given from other terrorist group across the world. The assist them with money, weapons, and other electronic machines that would destroyed a country within a twinkle of an eye, this has depict post-modern paradigm

 

The political economy view point, is that having declare the state of emergency but still Mr. President is urging the governors of the effected state, to continue with their constitutional responsibility and cooperate with the military personnel, this capture the saying of Roser about the value of military in capital accumulation, because definitely, the military that are sent to those state would be given allowances which will amount millions of naira, there uniform will also be change, more weapons will be given to them. In these scenarios, capital accumulation would continue as must of the top Nigerians military personnel are members of global military industrial complex including the defense minister.
