  • 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.

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.

    International Journal of Applied Business & International Management, Vol. 4 No. 2 (2019) International Journal of Applied Business & International Management P-ISSN: 2614-7432 ; E-ISSN: 2621-2862 Website: www.ejournal.aibpm.or/IJABIM Research paper, Short communication, and Review Gender Imbalance in Nigeria’s Legislature: A Peep into the 7th and 8th Assemblies Obiwuru Chidera Rex Department of Politics and International Relations Esep Le Berger Univeristy, Benin Republic Correspondence Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Marginalization of women in politics is very apparent most especially in Africa, where women are deemed by many as having no business with politics.
