12 Chapter 1 constitutional culture, nationhood, national identity, and (de-) militarisation – and the extent to which these concepts have been rendered particularly relevant and pronounced in Nigeria’s march towards true constitutionalism, in the aftermath of alternating military interventions. The overarching outcome of the analysis in Olowu’s chapter lends credence to the assertion that the footprints of erstwhile military regimes will continue to impact on the connotations of constitutionalism, governance and democratisation in Nigeria, as presently constituted. Underpinning the thrust of the discussions in the chapter is the consciousness that an understanding of the problems presented in the Nigerian narrative of protracted struggle towards constitutionalism through the adoption of written constitutions since the country attained independence in 1960, offers insights into interpreting latent factors mirrored in several African post-colonial states, focusing on balancing civil-military relations, and transitions from authoritarian rule to democracy. In a way that strengthens Olowu’s chapter, Ademola Oluborode Jegede adds his voice to the journey Nigeria travelled from military rule to constitutional government. Chapter 13 of the book lays emphasis on the fact that, from a past punctuated by thirty years of military rule since independence in 1960, Nigeria resumed constitutional government when it returned to democracy on 29 May 1999. The transition was preceded by the drawing of the 1999 Constitution which was designed to usher in a new democratic era. According to Jegede, the formal break from military rule notwithstanding, constitutional government remains problematic in Nigeria; three ‘stigmas’ in the areas of rule of law, human rights, devolution of power which typified military rule persist still under the new constitutional dispensation. While urging evidences to demonstrate these ‘stigmas’, Jegede’s chapter argues that only a consistent culture of compliance with constitutional roles and responsibilities by stakeholders can bring about genuine transformation into constitutional government in Nigeria.
