Hope, Realization, Disappointments
FOUR HOPE, REALIZATION, DISAPPOINTMENTS What do Muslims expect from sharia? That is the first question for this chapter. Then I move on to issues of realization, accom- plishments and disappointments. Were any of their hopes realized during the initial five years? It seems some were; some were not. It is very much a mixed bag. We will see that there is a high degree of disappointment that things have not changed that much. However, since these opinions are often tinged by ideology, political consid- erations and vested interests, it is extremely difficult to ferret truth from falsehood, fact from fiction. And though by now, six years later, one can detect certain trends and even genuine disappoint- ments, it may be too early to come to definite conclusions. But I should not run ahead of myself. L Hopes For Sharia—and Disappointments __ The first thing Muslims, especially the ordinary “masses,” expected from sharia is transformation. That hope accounts for the great crowds at sharia launching ceremonies. Wrote one Adam 130 Studies in Christian–Muslim Relations Ahmad, “Islam alone can confront the negative trend of things. Islam produces men by transforming them from clay-mud wretchedness and stagnation to the position of splendour, felicity and tranquility.”1 The “splendour, felicity and tranquility” natural to an Islamic society was, unfortunately, an expectation not yet met. The reality on the ground from which the people hoped to be delivered was marked by oppression and corruption. The Companion CD contains a folder under the title <Corruption>, where you will find a wealth of materials on the sub- ject that will show you in no uncertain terms the depth of the prob- lem—and of the sharia hopes of the people. -

Transcript of Hajiya Binta Abdulhamid Interviewer: Elisha Renne
GLOBAL FEMINISMS COMPARATIVE CASE STUDIES OF WOMEN’S ACTIVISM AND SCHOLARSHIP SITE: NIGERIA Transcript of Hajiya Binta Abdulhamid Interviewer: Elisha Renne Location: Kano, Nigeria Date: 31st January, 2020 University of Michigan Institute for Research on Women and Gender 1136 Lane Hall Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1290 Tel: (734) 764-9537 E-mail: [email protected] Website: http://www.umich.edu/~glblfem © Regents of the University of Michigan, 2017 Hajiya Binta Abdulhamid was born on March 20, 1965, in Kano, the capital of Kano State, in northern Nigeria. She attended primary school and girls’ secondary school in Kano and Kaduna State. Thereafter she attended classes at Bayero University in Kano, where she received a degree in Islamic Studies. While she initially wanted to be a journalist, in 1983 she was encouraged to take education courses at the tertiary level in order to serve as a principal in girls’ secondary schools in Kano State. While other women had served in this position, there has been no women from Kano State who had done so. She has subsequently worked under the Kano State Ministry of Education, serving as school principal in several girls’ secondary schools in Kano State. Her experiences as a principal and teacher in these schools has enabled her to support girl child education in the state and she has encouraged women students to complete their secondary school education and to continue on to postgraduate education. She sees herself as a woman-activist in her advocacy of women’s education and has been gratified to see many of her former students working as medical doctors, lawyers, and politicians. -
First Election Security Threat Assessment
SECURITY THREAT ASSESSMENT: TOWARDS 2015 ELECTIONS January – June 2013 edition With Support from the MacArthur Foundation Table of Contents I. Executive Summary II. Security Threat Assessment for North Central III. Security Threat Assessment for North East IV. Security Threat Assessment for North West V. Security Threat Assessment for South East VI. Security Threat Assessment for South South VII. Security Threat Assessment for South West Executive Summary Political Context The merger between the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP) and other smaller parties, has provided an opportunity for opposition parties to align and challenge the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This however will also provide the backdrop for a keenly contested election in 2015. The zoning arrangement for the presidency is also a key issue that will define the face of the 2015 elections and possible security consequences. Across the six geopolitical zones, other factors will define the elections. These include the persisting state of insecurity from the insurgency and activities of militants and vigilante groups, the high stakes of election as a result of the availability of derivation revenues, the ethnic heterogeneity that makes elite consensus more difficult to attain, as well as the difficult environmental terrain that makes policing of elections a herculean task. Preparations for the Elections The political temperature across the country is heating up in preparation for the 2015 elections. While some state governors are up for re-election, most others are serving out their second terms. The implication is that most of the states are open for grab by either of the major parties and will therefore make the electoral contest fiercer in 2015 both within the political parties and in the general election. -

Boko Haram, Terrorism and Failing State Capacity in Nigeria: an Interrogation
BOKO HARAM, TERRORISM AND FAILING STATE CAPACITY IN NIGERIA: AN INTERROGATION DR. VICTOR EGWEMI KEY TERMS: Nigeria, Boko Haram, terrorism ABSTRACT: This paper is an interrogation of the activities of the Boko Haram sect especially since the killing of it leader Mohammed Yusuf under very controversial circumstances in 2009. It examines how the activities of Boko Haram have threatened the security and well-being of Nigerians and how it seems to have in turn undermined the Nigerian government’s ability to justify the reason for its existence, namely, to ensure the security and welfare of her citizens. Boko Haram has with seeming ease unleashed an orgy of violence characterized by bombing and killing Nigerians, especially in the north. This paper argues that sects like Boko Haram are a reaction to perceived and real injustices perpetrated by the state and its agencies. This paper is also of the opinion that the activities of Boko Haram have stretched Nigeria’s delicate socio-political and ethno-religious divides to the limit. The paper makes the point that a political solution, a well-meaning engagement between the government and the Boko Haram sect, is a more probable solution than the current attempt to engage the sect militarily. A political solution is not to be seen as a sign of weakness on the part of government but is, on the contrary, a sign of responsibility. The need to explore such a solution in the face of the crisis cannot be overemphasized. As a corollary, the government needs to tackle the crisis of infrastructure in the country.
