CHAPTER ONE
1.1 INTRODUCTION OF THE STUDY
The nation has since independence in October 1, 1960 been swimming in constant political and economic crises created by her chosen path. There is no barometers for measuring the extent of political and economic depressions which has transited from the first to the Fourth Republic.
Although, emphasis is laid on the Fourth Republic, the analysis applies to other Republics. The work is concerned about the Democratic Politics and the root of the Conflicts. Many theories have evolved overtime, yet no one seems to adequately delineate the complex struggle.
The three subjects of the topic -s Democracy, Politics and conflit are best treated in the context of Nigeria not as three separate and definite subjects but as subjects interwoven into the body Politics of the nation. Without one of the three concepts being positively definitive, the others would fall down to a pack of cards.
Democracy and Politics in Nigeria has experience various form of conflicts some of which are of gigantic proportion and monumental scale. Conflicts is due to an assertion of dividualisrn. Whether the conflict is based on the above sector or has origins in class, status, sex, ethnicity, religion and nationalism etc we are dealing with the same fundamental issues.
