Abstract:
Human rights violation has been endemic in Nigeria despite its ratification of the United Nations’ Universal Human Rights (1948) - rights equally enshrined in 1999 Nigerian constitution. This study examined the militarization of Nigerian politics and its adverse effect on the United Nations Universal Human Rights in Nigeria. The paper is descriptive and qualitative in typology. Methods and sources of data collections focused on documented evidence. Marxist Class Theory served as the framework for explanation. Findings divulged that Nigerian governments neither tolerated nor contained the activities of oppositions and freedom fighters. There were disobediences of court orders. Force, judicial and political maneuvers were means of responses to the peoples’ demands, agitations, and resistance. Re-federalization of Nigerian political and economic systems in form restructuring is a workable option to resolve the quagmire. It will allow component ethnic groups enjoy some sense of autonomy, develop themselves and unite in solidarity at the federal level.
