  • Religion, Politics and the Islamic Response
    Religion, Politics, and the Islamic Response: A Comparative Intellectual Critique, with Special Reference to Nigeria1 ®Lamin Sanneh Yale University Divinity School New Haven, Connecticut, USA Restricted Circulation: Working Draft Only Religion, Politics, and the Islamic Response The relationship between religion and politics, between church and state, has been a well rehearsed issue in Muslim thought and practice, because Islam emerged fully into history as a dual tradition of church and state, and because as such Muslims have been less sanguine than Europeans about making a rigid sepa- ration between the secular and the sacred, or between public ethics and private morality. By virtue of such history and by rea- son of the subsequent Western secular expansion in the Muslim world, there is continuing reaction among contemporary Muslims to the normative messianic claims of national secular govern- ments. Some of that reaction has roots that long pre-date colo- nial rule and colonialism’s contemporary effects on Islamist movements. MUSLIM AFRICA: RELIGION AND THE LIMITS OF STATE POWER Our understanding of church-state issues, already deeply formed from what we know of the Western experience, will nevertheless benefit with a further look at what transpired in the contrasting Muslim situation. It is important for more than reasons of history to recognize that even before the rise of the modern national sec- ular state in the West there was debate in other parts of the world about how religious masters and political leaders regarded each other’s sphere of authority and what the implications might be of practice in one sphere for practice in the other sphere.

  • Sir Alhaji Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto: the Seasons of a Man’S Life
    www.ahmadubello.com Sir Alhaji Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto: The seasons of a man’s life: To celebrate the life of Sardauna and study his legacies and assess the impact of Ahmadu Bello it is necessary to look at his life in seven major areas of Nigerian political development: 1) Political Parties and Elections; 2) Traditional Leadership; 3) Civil Service; 4) Development Strategy; 5) Religious Issues; 6) Consolidation of Community; and 7) Values and Symbols of Leadership. The assessment has been over two major time periods: • Pre-independence and • Early independence. Some of the main aspects of his impact in these areas are summarized below: The Westminster political system, which was inherited in Nigeria, is premised on a single-member constituency electoral system which tends to encourage the emergence of a two-party system. In its transfer to Nigeria, coupled with a strong federal structure, the tendency was to develop “three one-party systems,” in the respective regions. The emergence of a “united front” party in the north was not a foregone conclusion. He linking together of teachers, writers, traditional businessmen, Emirs and Chiefs, young people and old, plus linking together the diverse ethnic and religious populations into the most populous political unit in sub-Saharan Africa within a period of about a decade, was an enormous feat of organizational and political skill. Likewise the attempt to translate this “united front” approach into the national arena through various coalition building approaches, in the early independence period, with all the problems and conflicts involved, was a task of great complexity.

  • Access to Online Arabic Information Resources by the Academics in Ahmadu Bello University Zaria and Bayero University Kano
    Access to online Arabic information resources by the Academics in Ahmadu Bello University Zaria and Bayero University Kano Hamza Ukashatu Musa1, NCE, BLIS, MLIS (ABU) CLN, Department Of Library and Information Science, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Purpose: This study was set out to investigate the Access to Online Arabic Information Resources by Academics in the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria and Bayero University Kano. Design/Methodology: In order to achieve this objective, 3 research questions were formulated and two hypotheses were tested at 0.05. A survey method was employed in the conduct of this study. The entire population was used for this study, which was made up of all the academics teaching Arabic and Islamic Studies in ABU Zaria and BUK. A well-structure questionnaire was administered to 126 of Academics in both ABU Zaria and BUK with a total of 79 (62.7%) copies returned. The data collected for the study were presented and analyzed using both descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Frequency distribution tables, percentages and histograms were also used for the descriptive statistics while One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and T-test were used to test the two hypotheses formulated and determine the areas of differences among the Academics teaching Arabic and Islamic Studies in both Universities. Findings: It was discovered that, over 60% of the academics teaching Arabic and Islamic Studies in Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria and Bayero University, Kano were not accessing the online Arabic information resources available due to lack of awareness of the availability and lack of information literacy skill(s).

Nigeria, the show case of British colonial rule and Empire, and transfer to independence, was at the point of disintegration in 1967. A section of the country, the Eastern region had dared to do the unthinkable at that time, to secede. The British and Nigerian governments were determined that it would not happen. The break away region, which called itself Biafra was blockaded by land, air and sea, and starved of weapons and the means of livelihood.

  • Contesting Multiculturalism Federalism and Unitarism in Late Colonial Nigeria
    9 Contesting Multiculturalism Federalism and Unitarism in Late Colonial Nigeria Wale Adebanwi, University of Oxford This chapter examines the different approaches to multiculturalism among Nigeria’s three core and competing regions in the period of decolonization.1 The key questions that are confronted here in focusing on the contention over the nature and dynamics of multiculturalism in this era are these: Is multiculturalism the best way to deal with diversity in an emerging but divided (African) nation- state? Is multiculturalism antithetical to nation-building and mutual recognition of equal value among different ethnic-nationalities within African polities? What happens when multiculturalism simultaneously constitutes the basis of politi- cal architecture as well as the fundamental problem of political organization in a multi-ethnic state? I suggest that engaging with these questions can be helpful in understanding the unending political instability in contemporary African states caused largely by the unremitting antagonism between the constituent groups. The chapter explains the historical sociology of the politics of ethno-cultural diversity in Nigeria in relation to the struggle to construct a suitable political architecture for the governing of a vast country, an architecture that was strong enough to respond to as well as manage Nigerian’s diversity while ensuring unity. Generally, I suggest that contemporary problems in multi-ethnic postcolonial African states concern- ing the best approaches to national unity, diversity, party

Biafra And the Discourse on The Igbo Genocide Chima J. Korieh Marquette University, Milwaukee, WI Abstract There has been a reluctance or indifference to a systematic study and documentation of the Igbo Genocide in Nigeria. In the main, the reason has been due to official and non-official attempts to subvert a focus on an event in which more than one million Igbo were slaughtered through a process that was fomented, orchestrated, executed, and supervised by the Nigerian state. Keywords Biafra, Igbo Genocide, Chinua Achebe, Nigeria-Biafra War We provided medicine to hundreds of women and their children daily, knowing that many would not be returning to that village’s clinic a week later because they would be even more severely ill or dead or because the front lines had changed and nearby fighting prevented them from safe passage to our site.

  • The Case of Biafra
    The Nigerian State and the Resurgence of Separatist Agitations: The Case of Biafra By Ikenna Mike Alumona, Ph.D Department of Political Science, Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Igbariam +2348039241300, [email protected] & Stephen Nnaemeka Azom, Ph.D Department of Political Science, Federal University Lafia, Nasarawa State +2348036581682, [email protected] & Emeka Charles Iloh Politics and Governance Research Unit, African Heritage Institution, Enugu +2348064879666, [email protected] Abstract In recent times, separatist movements in the South East geopolitical zone have stepped-up struggles for the actualization of the sovereign state of Biafra through protests and other forms of social mobilization. The protests have triggered tension and heightened insecurity, with the security agencies applying excessive force to quell the protests. The extant literature is awash with narratives regarding the recent upsurge and persistent centrifugal demands by pro-Biafra separatists, four decades after the Nigerian civil war. Although these analyses are germane to the subject matter, they essentially suffer from disjointed empiricism, and as such unable to adequately illuminate the understanding of the renewed Biafra separatist agitations. With the aid of secondary data generated through documentary sources, this study systematically presents evidence to demonstrate that pro-Biafra separatist agitations derive from the deteriorating material conditions of the people. Accordingly, the study argues that certain actions, inactions and policies of the Nigerian government, which are perceived to be targeted against the Igbo, have created the feelings of collective victimization among the people which sustains and reinforces the separatist agitations. Moreso, the study highlight the interplay of forces that account for the inability of the Nigerian government to concretely address the challenges of nation-building, and their overall implications for peace-building and sustainable development in Nigeria.

  • Echoes of Secession: the Hero, the Rebel, and the Rhetoric of Might in Nigerian Civil War Pictorial Propaganda
    African Studies Quarterly | Volume 17, Issue 3| November 2017 Echoes of Secession: The Hero, the Rebel, and the Rhetoric of Might in Nigerian Civil War Pictorial Propaganda ETIIDO EFFIONG INYANG Abstract: This article evaluates the nature of images that negotiated and sustained secession propaganda during the Nigerian Civil war between 1967 and 1970. More specifically, it examines the character and disposition of the constructed image of the secessionist leader Emeka Ojukwu through a variety of photographs, cartoons, and posters used during the war in order to assess his role and tendencies in the politics of the thirty months war. By studying pre-war ancillary traits of politics and political elites in Nigeria, this article relies on the earlier studies of class conflict in Nigeria to argue that the images offer insights to lingering mutual suspicions and understanding of the war. Introduction … if the power of images is like the power of the weak, that may be why their desire is correspondingly strong, to make up for their actual impotence … what the picture awakens in our desire to see … is what it cannot show. This impotence is what gives it whatever specific power it has.1 The failed secession bid of Biafra from Nigeria in a civil war that ended after thirty months of military hostilities, internal displacements, starvation, and civilian deaths has remained a topic of painful reminiscences. As a result, its discourse has drawn more debates and literature than perhaps any other event in the history of the Nigerian nation. The interests of these reflections on the dark event in the country’s history and the polemics it stimulates have become increasingly varied in substance and facts.

  • Meritocracy to Mediocrity in Nigeria: Experience of the 4Th Republic
    International Journal of Innovative Social Sciences & Humanities Research 7(4):10-19, Oct.-Dec., 2019 © SEAHI PUBLICATIONS, 2019 www.seahipaj.org ISSN: 2354-2926 © SEAHI PUBLICATIONS, 2018 www.seahipaj.org ISSN: 2354-2926 Meritocracy To Mediocrity In Nigeria: Experience Of The 4th Republic ELUOZO, Collins Department of Curriculum and Instructional Technology (Science Education Option) Faculty of Education Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Port Harcourt, Nigeria [email protected];[email protected] 08111312517 ABSTRACT This research work titled Meritocracy to Mediocrity in Nigeria: Experience of the 4th Republic was born out of the current state of Nigeria. This paper surveyed deeply into the political arena of Nigeria and the world’s perception about Nigeria’s current state as well as the leaders’ attitude since 1960 till date. This paper traced the historical emergence of the nation called Nigeria right from the first appearance of the British moguls in the year 1861. The roles played by the Royal Niger Company in capturing protectorates, how Lagos was discovered and became first settlement of the Whiteman was revealed. The paper further traced how this marriage called Nigeria came to be. The invitation of an army actor Frederick Lord Lugard in 1800’s for protection of the Northern protectorates against French invasion and the fight against jihadists as well as slave trade abolition by the Islamic empires was harnessed. How the presence of a British respected journalist Flora Shaw who later became the wife of Lugard changed the system with her formation of the name Nigeria after tributaries of sailors was discussed. The paper reviewed the contributions of all the Nigerian leaders from 1861 to 2019.
