#FasttrackingReform #StateCaptureCommission #ZondoCommission Toyin Falola insists that any reform agenda has to deal with citizenship. State administrations in postcolonial Adrica are largely foreign impositions. This is key! @anthonybut @brankobrkic @ferialhaffajee
Postcolonial State administrations operate on the basis of kinship. In Nigeria, President could instruct head of Reseve Bank to deliver cash to house. When Governor of Kano was asked why he had government money in his home, he asked how can governor not have government money.
Who polices the officials? Historically, people policed themselves through shame and guilt. Modern states destroy that sense of shame.
