Health is a resource for Heveryday life, not the objective of living. It is experienced when people have and enjoy complete emotional and physical well-being. Good health makes for a happy life; central to handling stress and living a longer, more active, and productive life. This means that health is a resource to support an individual's function in wider society, rather than an end in itself. For citizens to experience good health, infrastructure in the health sector must be significantly improved. It includes among other things, physical structures, advanced machines, specialist doctors, nurses, and other paramedical professionals and developed pharmaceutical industries. Health Infrastructure has been described as the basic provision for the delivery of public health activities in a productive and meaningful manner. The five components of health infrastructure are skilled workforce, integrated electronic information systems, public health organizations, resources, and research (Kumar and Gupta, 2012). Lack of functional health infrastructure is one of the problems affecting health care delivery in Africa, and Nigeria in particular. This literature argues that developments in health infrastructure will provide a significant contribution in promoting the health and well-being of all individuals, irrespective of age groups, communities, categories, and backgrounds. Other variables that forms the focus of this edition are politics and business. There are central issues for African developing countries. Politics revolves around the activities associated with the governance of a country or area, especially the relationship between parties having power. Politics, when construed from power page |1| Perspectives on African Health Infrastructure, Politics, and Business Development and economic dynamic, establishes the rules of who gets development benefits and why. It explains the allocation of acquisition and allocation of economic resources within the state. Political changes in Africa have affected development institutions and the structure of governance. Party interest has overtaken economic and social interest. Political institutions have not lived up to public expectations. This has created economic and social imbalances in the country. Economic crisis and decline, the state of maladjustment of African economies, the decline of the informal sector, and the erosion of domestic policy autonomy and capacities represent a critical component of the context within which politics is being restructured in Africa. In Nigeria, partisanship, corruption, widespread violence and arms, insecurity, among other things have taken the central stage and development has not been possible. There is a significant relationship between politics and the viability of business systems in Africa. The fallouts of politics in Africa create institutional, economic, business, political, and social challenges that face Africa today. These challenges also include the marginalization of Africa from the global economy and scarce development finance. Achieving economic growth and running business in Africa has therefore become challenging. This is inspite of the decades of IMF and World Bank-led structural adjustment programs that starkly failed to revive the African economies (Moyo, 2009).

  • Shehu Uthman Dan Fodio and His Economic Ideas

At the outset, to provide background knowledge of the personality of Shehu Uthman Dan Fodio, the paper sheds light on time and environment in which he lived, his life and work, and his impact. Time and Environment Shehu Uthman Dan Fodio1 (1167-1233/1754-1817) belonged to the Fulani tribe2. The Fulani people are found all over West Africa from the Futa Jalon region to the Cameroons (Balogun, 1981, p. 15). Some of Fulani had settled and had become actually integrated with the Hausas. The ancestors of Uthman Dan Fodio moved into Hausaland3 in the fifteenth century under the leadership of Musa Jokollo and settled in the Hausa State of Gobir (Sulaiman, 1986, p. ix). According to Sulaiman, in early eighteenth century, ‘Hausaland was at a critical stage in its history, needing a profound challenge to stir its conscience’ (ibid, p. xviii),. Unbelief, iniquity and open defiance of Allah’s laws became the order of the day.

  • Reinventing Epic in French West African Literature
    Whose Hero? Reinventing Epic in French West African Literature by Jonathon Repinecz A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in French in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Karl Brito Professor Soraya Tlatli Professor Charles Briggs Fall 2013 Whose Hero? Reinventing Epic in French West African Literature Copyright 2013 by Jonathon Repinecz 1 Abstract Whose Hero? Reinventing Epic in French West African Literature by Jonathon Repinecz Doctor of Philosophy in French University of California, Berkeley Professor Karl Britto, Chair This dissertation explores the relationship between oral and written literature through the lens of epic. Springing from an engagement with scholarship that has defined and defended the notion of an African epic, it seeks to reevaluate the relevance of this category in the case of West African literature in French. While some critics have argued that the concept of epic is too Eurocentric to be relevant to African narrative traditions, most believe that to renounce the idea of an “African epic” is to stifle comparative literature, and possibly even to reproduce the trope of a Dark Continent too primitive to produce anything great. At the same time, scholars of francophone literature regularly rely on the notion of an “epic” dimension in some contemporary texts. However, such studies too frequently conform to Mikhail Bakhtin’s vision of this dimension as a grandiose but flat world of ancient heroes, utterly removed from the evolving concerns of the present—which belong to the realm of the novel. This study both draws on and challenges scholarship within these conversations in order to propose a more innovative reading of West African oral traditional narratives that we call epic, as well as their place in francophone writing.

  • Forced Begging, Aid and Children's Rights in Senegal
    Forced Begging, Aid and Children’s Rights in Senegal: Stories of Suffering and Politics of Compassion in the Promotion of Rights for the Taalibe Qur’anic School Children of Senegal and Mali Sara Elizabeth Lahti Thiam Department of Anthropology McGill University, Montreal December 2014 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy © 2014 Sara Thiam To Mom and Dad Abstract Due to recently expanded definitions of human and child trafficking among transnational actors, thousands of Qur’anic students throughout Senegal, West Africa, called taalibes, who beg to support their schools, have been identified as victims of trafficking. Senegal’s generous supply-driven alms-giving draws schools of boys from throughout the region to beg. To gain financial and institutional support to promote the taalibes’ human rights, activists disseminate compassion- generating communications to transnational audiences about their exploitation at the hands of their masters. Locally in Senegal, taalibe begging is not seen as trafficking. Rather, within a discourse about Qur’anic schools as vulnerable schools, people understand their mass urban migration and begging to be an unfortunate result of severe rural poverty. Malian families that send their children to Senegal defend taalibe hardship within a pedagogy of suffering– to instill respect and discipline. Where the transnational trafficking discourse calls Qur’anic masters who make their pupils beg criminal exploiters, the local vulnerable schools discourse views them as legitimate educators. To them, they are victims of past colonial repression and a currently neglected educational system. In this thesis, I document how each of these discourses have taken form and what happens when they converge on the ground.

  • Islamic Fundamentalism Framing Politics in Mali: from the Middle Ages to the Age of Pandemic
    Islamic Fundamentalism Framing Politics in Mali: From the Middle Ages to the Age of Pandemic Olga Torres Díaz Abstract This chapter aims to traverse the centuries-long path of the mutualistic relationship between political power and Islam represented by two fundamentalist tendencies clearly discernible in Mali until today, deeming that as fundamentalist is the call to return to an Arabised Islamic orthodoxy that cyclically reappears in the country as the reputed syncretism of the popular Islam that is considered characteristic of the area. Under this assumption, revisiting certain milestones in this historical coa- lescence could foster the comprehension of current movements – personified by imams and preachers such as Muḥammad Dicko and Sheikh Madani Haïdara – now that the emergence of the Wahhabi trend has begun to compete again with the prevalent traditional Malian Islam in modulating the orientation of the government.

  • Histories of Travel, 1930-2010 by Olivia Chidori Yoshioka-Maxwell A
    The Voyager in Question: Histories of Travel, 1930-2010 By Olivia Chidori Yoshioka-Maxwell A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in French in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Suzanne Guerlac, Co-chair Professor Karl Britto, Co-chair Professor Tyler Stovall Spring 2014 The Voyager in Question: Histories of Travel, 1930-2010 Copyright 2014 By Olivia Chidori Yoshioka-Maxwell Abstract The Voyager in Question: Histories of Travel, 1930-2010 by Olivia Chidori Yoshioka-Maxwell Doctor of Philosophy in French University of California, Berkeley Professor Suzanne Guerlac and Professor Karl Britto, Co-Chairs This dissertation is situated within a field of cultural studies that seeks to develop a broader understanding of the political stakes of twentieth- and twenty-first century debates over who can travel. This line of inquiry responds to the persistent tendency in travel writing over the course of the century to exclude certain subjects in movement from the role of the traveler. The question, “What is travel?” is often treated in both literary texts and criticism as a philosophical or abstract question, stripped of its historical and political implications. I ask, what is the relationship between this effort to restrict the identity of the traveler and France’s imperialist history? How and why are non-European subjects denied the status of traveler, and how does the debate over the traveler / tourist binary, which has received more critical attention, relate to the reification of colonial and postcolonial subjects in the role of the “sedentary native”? Taking these questions as a point of departure, this dissertation explores how the theoretical opposition between the dynamic traveler and the passive travelee is constructed, undermined, and directly challenged in texts belonging to a wide variety of genres, from the historical novel to the Oulipian literary exercise to autofiction.

  • The Bandiagara Emirate: Warfare, Slavery and Colonization in the Middle Niger, 1863 - 1903
    THE BANDIAGARA EMIRATE: WARFARE, SLAVERY AND COLONIZATION IN THE MIDDLE NIGER, 1863 - 1903 By Joseph M. Bradshaw A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History–Doctor of Philosophy 2021 ABSTRACT THE BANDIAGARA EMIRATE: WARFARE, SLAVERY AND COLONIZATION IN THE MIDDLE NIGER, 1863 - 1903 By Joseph M. Bradshaw Between 1863 and 1903, the Middle Niger, a region under the arch of the Niger River in present day Mali and Burkina Faso, was colonized by two armies. The first army was a Futanke- led army commanded by the Sufi reformer al-Hajj Umar Tal and later led by his nephew, Tijani Tal. The Futanke-led army invaded the region after their war against the Bamana Kingdom of Segu, drew the Umarian Empire into a conflict with the Caliphate of Hamdullahi. The Futanke and the Masinanke of Hamdullahi shared a common faith, language and culture, and both had fought wars under the umbrella of ‘jihad’ against non-Muslims and Muslims whose practice they considered unorthodox. But despite the rhetoric of Futanke and Masinanke leaders, the instability of wars from 1861-90 necessitated the building of alliances that diminished the instrumental value of racial and religious exclusion. In 1893 a new French-led military regime established itself in the Middle Niger. The French, in turn, used warfare and enslavement as tools of empire, creating a military territory called the “French Sudan.” The French regime initially worked through Futanke proxies but soon demonstrated a clear preference for local chiefs and racial politics. As the French army conquered territory non-Futanke were placed directly under the administration of nearby posts.
