WHITHER NIGERIA’S MANIFEST DESTINY TO LEAD AFRICA? via thisdaylive
Nigeria risks losing her residual appeal as a well-run nation, argue Ejeviome Eloho Otobo and Oseloka H. Obaze
As coined and defined by Joseph Nye, soft power is the ability “to obtain the outcomes one wants through attraction rather than using carrots and sticks of payment or coercion.” This implies leading by example and attracting others to follow. Nigeria’s moral purpose is codified in Section 14 2b of the 1999 Amended Constitution, which affirms that “the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government.
The welfare aspect of the constitutional provision is reflected in how the management of the economy redounds to the benefit of citizens. Nigeria’s economic performance which has been mediocre, missing all economic growth targets outlined in various plans over the years, has suffered further as a result of COVID-19, experiencing a contraction of about 2 percent in 2020.
