(Islam is the religion of Muslims.) Suffering At times Christians have protested against Shariah Law. They have also disagreed with Muslims on other issues. As a result of the Christians: disagreements, riots have occurred and Christians’ homes, stores, and churches have been destroyed. Many Christian families have suffered greatly.

  • National Symbols As Commemorative Emblems in Nigerian Films
    European Scientific Journal January 2018 edition Vol.14, No.2 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 National Symbols as Commemorative Emblems in Nigerian Films Alawode, Sunday Olayinka PhD Adesanya, Oluseyi Olufunke Agboola, Olufunsho Cole Lagos State University School Of Communication Lagos, Osodi, Lagos State, Nigeria Religion, Communication and Culture Working Group Doi: 10.19044/esj.2018.v14n2p100 URL:http://dx.doi.org/10.19044/esj.2018.v14n2p100 Abstract Nigerian films worldwide are the entertainment offerings of the nation, a burgeoning industry with steady increase growth rate and contributing substantially to the GDP of the nation. National symbols are objects, entities and relics representing an idea, concept, character that may be physical, abstract, religious, cultural, and linguistic among others in a sovereign context and beyond. Symbols or objects that connected together may not have anything in common in reality but by association and common agreement, they have come to represent each other in social contexts; a symbol may arbitrarily denote a referent, icon and index. In the case of Nigeria, the National flag, Anthem, Pledge, Currency, language, Coat of arms, National institutions like the National Assembly complex, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), images of past leaders, historical monuments like the Unknown Soldier (representing military men who died in the cause of protecting the nation), dresses are some of these national symbols. Apart from commemorative historical functions, national symbols are also used to represent hard work, credibility or truthfulness, as well as ethnic differentiation, religious affiliation, cultural background, social status, professional orientation, class distinction among others. Theorizing with Gate-keeping and Framing Analysis, this study adopts a content analysis design which is the study of recorded human communications, an objective and systematic analysis of the contents of any document that are manifest.

  • The Gospel and the Flag: the Missionary Strands in the British Colonial Enterprise in Nigeria, 1841-1960
    E-ISSN 2281-4612 Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol 4 No 3 ISSN 2281-3993 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy November 2015 The Gospel and the Flag: The Missionary Strands in the British Colonial Enterprise in Nigeria, 1841-1960 Kanayo Louis Nwadialor, PhD Department of Religion and Human Relations, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka [email protected] Nwachukwu J. Obiakor, PhD Department of History and International Studies, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka [email protected] Doi:10.5901/ajis.2015.v4n3p249 Abstract British colonial enterprise in Nigeria has often been discussed in the light of British commercial companies that began to operate along the coasts of West Africa from the 1840s. These commercial firms often obtained charters to administer different territories on behalf of the British government. These territories were further organized into Colonies and Protectorates and there was a resultant increase in British colonial interest in the regions. These Protectorates were eventually amalgamated in 1914 to form a single administrative unit and consequently, there was an effective establishment of British colonial rule in what later became modern Nigeria. However, much as this historical analysis might be empirical, there is an aspect of the history that appears not to have engaged enough scholarly attention in the recent past. The missionary strands in the British colonial enterprise in Nigeria are factors that seem to be neglected, yet without it; the history of British penetration into Nigeria in particular and effective colonial rule in general may not be complete. The British missionaries were in Nigeria for the spiritual and moral regeneration of the people, yet they cooperated with the British government in establishing British colonial administration in the area.

  • Flag of Defiance – the International Use of the Rhodesian Flag Following Udi
    FLAG OF DEFIANCE – THE INTERNATIONAL USE OF THE RHODESIAN FLAG FOLLOWING UDI BRUCE BERRY University of Pretoria ([email protected] ; +27 82 909 5829) Abstract The international response to Rhodesia’s Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) was to proclaim the colony to be in a state of rebellion, the government in Salisbury to be illegal, and to request the United Nations to apply sanctions against the ‘rebel regime’. The ensuing political impasse resulted in the need to promote a more distinctive national identity and the symbols to reflect this newfound independence. The first, and most obvious, change came with the adoption of a new national flag on the third anniversary of UDI on 11 November 1968. As the most visible symbol of post-UDI Rhodesia, the international use and display of the new flag became the subject of demonstration and controversy. This paper shows how the green and white Rhodesian flag came to highlight Rhodesia’s contested statehood when flown outside the country during the UDI period. Rhodesia’s new flag became a symbol of the country’s defiance, and the emotion it evoked, and continues to evoke, causes controversy even to this day. Keywords: Rhodesia, symbols, flags 1 1. INTRODUCTION After years of fruitless negotiations on the issue of independence, at 11 a.m. on 11 November 1965 (the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month) Rhodesian Prime Minister Ian Smith and his Cabinet signed a Proclamation of Independence from the British Parliament, whilst retaining loyalty to the person of the Monarch as the Queen of Rhodesia.1 The immediate response by the British Government to this Unilateral Declaration of Independence (UDI) was to proclaim Rhodesia to be in a state of rebellion, the Government in Salisbury to be illegal and to request the United Nations to apply sanctions against the ‘rebel regime’.

  • Boko Haram, the Government and Peace Negotiation by Prof. James
    Boko Haram, the Government and Peace Negotiation By Prof. James B. Kantiok, Ph.D,; MDY Introduction Both scholars and non-scholars alike define peace variously. Depending on one’s knowledge and understanding of the concept, one may define it in simple layman/woman’s language as the “absence of violence” or the “absence of the fear of violence.” It can be associated with a multitude of factors and phenomena that reinforce one another, including gender equality, justice, relevant education and employment opportunities, the sound management of natural resources, human rights protection, political inclusion, and low levels of corruption. However, most of these factors are culturally coded and hence are only definable contextually. Understanding the central role played by culture in identifying the roots of a given conflict and the related specific path towards reconciliation is thus an essential, if not determining, step in achieving lasting peace and security. Peace has been and remains a permanent ideal and aspiration, as well as a right and a duty. However, in our fast-paced, interconnected world, peace is at risk. Understanding the issues involved in the Boko Haram insurgency could help the government decide whether or not to negotiate with the group, thus ensuring the security of life and property in the country. The resurgence of religious conflict on a global scale from the late 1970's onward has been one of the great surprises of the modern era. Some analysts portray the rise of religiously motivated violence as a barbaric "throwback" fated to disappear as capitalism and democracy become worldwide and therefore may not be resolved.
