Volume with FemiDlive
Why do elections in Nigeria suffer from chronically low voter turnout? Volume with FemiDlive, host Femi sits down with Mr. Amara Nwankpa, Director at the Yar'Adua Foundation, to dissect the deep-seated disconnect between the Nigerian state and its citizens. Amara breaks down the critical differences between "pragmatic legitimacy" (driven by short-term incentives like vote-buying) and "moral legitimacy" (rooted in a true sense of national belonging). From the sociology of why citizens ignore pedestrian bridges to the structural flaws holding back the July 2024 Supreme Court local government autonomy ruling, this conversation exposes the unfinished work of building a truly federated Nigeria. 00:00 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi9qTqHoxoo] - Introduction: Welcoming Amara Nwankpa (Yar'Adua Foundation)01:05 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi9qTqHoxoo&t=65s] - The Diversified Reality vs. Homogeneous Results in Nigerian Elections02:26 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi9qTqHoxoo&t=146s] - Low Voter Turnout: Does True Legitimacy Exist at Under 40%?03:43 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi9qTqHoxoo&t=223s] - Pragmatic vs. Moral Legitimacy: The Cycle of Vote-Buying05:59 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi9qTqHoxoo&t=359s] - Peter Ekeh’s "Two Publics" & the Extractive Nature of the Civic Public08:18 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi9qTqHoxoo&t=498s] - Voting as Social Labor: Why Citizens Withhold Their Labor09:32 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi9qTqHoxoo&t=572s] - Performance Theatrics in Nigerian Political Campaigns11:13 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi9qTqHoxoo&t=673s] - People as Infrastructure: Why Human-Centered Design Matters for Development16:05 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi9qTqHoxoo&t=965s] - Two Years of Local Government Autonomy: Reality or Elusive Law?19:13 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi9qTqHoxoo&t=1153s] - Grassroots Plural Governance: How Communities Actually Self-Govern21:37 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi9qTqHoxoo&t=1297s] - Why Nigerians Trust Traditional & Religious Leaders More Than Government23:14 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi9qTqHoxoo&t=1394s] - Overestimating State Reach: The Reality of Ungoverned Spaces & Insecurity27:48 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi9qTqHoxoo&t=1668s] - Building a Federating Infrastructure Based on Local Realities29:45 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi9qTqHoxoo&t=1785s] - The $26 Billion Informal Economy & Unlocking Citizen Cohesion33:52 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi9qTqHoxoo&t=2032s] - The Myth of the National Social Contract & The Shared Debt Burden39:14 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi9qTqHoxoo&t=2354s] - From "Big Brother" to "Old Brother": Reconfiguring Nigeria’s African Foreign Policy44:46 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi9qTqHoxoo&t=2686s] - The Hobbesian Leviathan: Global Political Instability From the UK to the US49:33 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi9qTqHoxoo&t=2973s] - Agenda 2063: Creating a Unified Pan-African Identity50:46 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gi9qTqHoxoo&t=3046s] - Outro: Where to Find Amara Nwankpa’s Work & Final Thoughts📌 Subscribe to the channel for more deep-seated political analysis and civic insights.💬 Let us know in the comments: Do you trust traditional and religious leaders more than the formal government? #NigeriaPolitics [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/nigeriapolitics] #VoterTurnout [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/voterturnout] #LocalGovernmentAutonomy [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/localgovernmentautonomy] #AmaraNwankpa [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/amaranwankpa] #GoodGovernance [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/goodgovernance] #NigeriaElections [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/nigeriaelections] #CivicSpace [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/civicspace] #VolumeWithFemiDlive [https://www.youtube.com/hashtag/volumewithfemidlive]Join us: +234 814 046 0182WhatsApp Channel: https://bit.ly/4hdduoc [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqa3hkbmtjbGUxUnJ5Q212TVUtcVpGSjlXVGJ3QXxBQ3Jtc0trSnZIQl9jcUVUSUNrY1dBUHRDdjh0RHdaTnl2NWJFOWNodlpBM0RoNWh2X2cyM2xJZEdad3oxMDNIcndOaFJ5anlERDhHYzBxVV85QS01eThmaENzZ09ObG1CZGZzV2tCZHVqVmhKaEJ5WWRfS1pLSQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F4hdduoc&v=Gi9qTqHoxoo]Host: Femi D Amele @femidlive Associate Producer: Michael O.
