ABSTRACT Domestic violence is a pervasive issue that occurs globally in various cultures and traditions regardless of victims’ social, economic, religious, ethnic or racial background. Women are being beaten, sexually coerced and abused. And the existence of strong patriarchal values, encourages males to become sexually, physically and psychologically abusive toward their female partners. In Nigeria, domestic violence affects women in all communities, of every ethnic, classes, religious and socioeconomic groups, living in both rural and urban areas. However, this study found that the prevalence of domestic violence is mostly pervasive in the Oyo community because it is a male-centered community, with diverse traditional and cultural beliefs and practices, as well as a rigid customary legal framework that supports male domination and discrimination against women in the form of male-child preference syndrome, levirate marriage, primogeniture, and widowhood rites, which have become the norm in their daily activities. Despite Nigeria is party to several international as well as domestic human treaties which aimed at addressing and protecting the rights of women and girls, to be free from domestic violence. In addition, the Oyo State House of Assembly enacted the provision of laws that prohibit and protect against gender-based violence and other related matters in public and private life in 2013 and 2016, of which protection of women from domestic violence and harmful traditional practices received a mention. The study revealed how Oyo community’s socio-cultural norms affect the implementation of legislation on domestic violence in the community, by examining how the numerous traditional and socio-cultural beliefs and practices of the Oyo community towards domestic violence is a hindrance to the implementation of the legislation on domestic violence in the community to curb domestic acts of violence. Nego-feminism and Legal feminism theories were employed as the theoretical lenses that guided the study. Nego-feminism was used to know how to utilize the culture of negotiation for the deconstruction of patriarchy in the Oyo community for the benefit of women. While the legal feminism theory was used to explain the issue of gender inequality, by critiquing and changing laws on behalf of, and from the perspective of women towards challenging gender subordination and condemning other patterns of injustice, specifically patriarchy, for the liberation of women. The study adopted qualitative content data analysis method. This was achieved through the review of YouTube videos of interview sessions with an Ifa priest and priestess on the mythology contained in Odu Ifa (literary corpus). The study also assessed legislature documents.

  • A Historical Survey of Socio-Political Administration in Akure Region up to the Contemporary Period
    European Scientific Journal August edition vol. 8, No.18 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 A HISTORICAL SURVEY OF SOCIO-POLITICAL ADMINISTRATION IN AKURE REGION UP TO THE CONTEMPORARY PERIOD Afe, Adedayo Emmanuel, PhD Department of Historyand International Studies,AdekunleAjasin University,Akungba-Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria Abstract Thepaper examines the political transformation of Akureregion from the earliest times to the present. The paper traces these stages of political development in order to demonstrate features associated with each stage. It argues further that pre-colonial Akure region, like other Yoruba regions, had a workable political system headed by a monarch. However, the Native Authority Ordinance of 1916, which brought about the establishment of the Native Courts and British judicial administration in the region led to the decline in the political power of the traditional institution.Even after independence, the traditional political institution has continually been subjugated. The work relies on both oral and written sources, which were critically examined. The paper, therefore,argues that even with its present political status in the contemporary Nigerian politics, the traditional political institution is still relevant to the development of thesociety. Keywords: Akure, Political, Social, Traditional and Authority Introduction The paper reviews the political administration ofAkure region from the earliest time to the present and examines the implication of the dynamics between the two periods may have for the future. Thus,assessment of the indigenous political administration, which was prevalent before the incursion of the colonial administration, the political administration during the colonial rule and the present political administration in the region are examined herein.However, Akure, in this context, comprises the present Akure North, Akure South, and Ifedore Local Government Areas of Ondo State, Nigeria.

I am grateful for how far we have come. Like Jacob in the Bible who said, “For with my staff I passed over Jordan and now I have become two bands….” I also can proudly declare that the person that crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 2011 has greatly multiplied in all directions. Of all I have been blessed with, you two are the greatest of all. iii Acknowledgements …because it takes a village to write a dissertation In the time one takes to write a dissertation, one accumulates a string of debts that can never be fully repaid. One can only try, and do so employing words to convey the depth of one’s gratitude. First, my deep appreciation goes to my committee members: Profs. Joni Omi Jones, Lisa Thompson, Paul Bonin- Rodriguez, Charlotte Canning, and Toyin Falola. Thanks for all support, patience, love and understanding all through this project.

Nigeria is used in this work to represent Africa given the strong similarities that exist among the people and focused mainly on its three major religions. This work adopts historical method through library research to obtain the needed information. The study discovers a sect called Chrisislamherb that worship pluralistically as Christians, Moslems and traditionalists to show uniformity of religions in Nigeria. It concludes that, there is an element of God’s revelation in all the religions. It recommends that knowledge of all the religions is necessary and good relationship with the adherents could help the Christians in proclaiming the faith and breeding harmonious coexistence. Key words: religion, pluralism, theology, unity 1. Introduction The term religious pluralism has generated a number of questions for the theologians concerning the relationship between Christianity and other world religions. These include “if Christianity is the true religion, is it theologically and morally acceptable to maintain that one religion is uniquely true and that the others are incomplete or even false and why are there so many diverse religions in the world?”1 That and several other questions were addressed by some key figures in the debate of pluralist theology such as John Hick, Langdon Gilkey, Cantwell Smith and Raimundo Panikkar (John Hick & Paul F.

Women leadership, particularly in traditional society, has been in existence in northern part of the country from time immemorial. As a result of our more than five years intensive research into this area, we can now prove with exactitude that female emirs exist in the north like their Obas and Obis counterparts in the Southern parts of the country. The concern of this paper is to shed light on the nature and character of female emirs found in the north.
