  • Hope, Realization, Disappointments

    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.

It is argued that ethnicity is not necessarily incompatible with nationalism and nation-building. Ethnicity and nationalism both play a role in nation-state formation. They are each functional to political stability and, therefore, to civil peace and to the ability of individual Nigerians to pursue their non-political goals. Ethnicity is functional to political stability because it provides the basis for political socialization and for popular allegiance to political actors. It provides the framework within which patronage is institutionalized and related to traditional forms of welfare within a state which is itself unable to provide such benefits to its subjects.

This was caused by a material deterioration in his health, notably Parkinson's Disease, as a result of which he needed to spend some time in hospital. Happily he is now back at home and, following the festive season is returning to his duties, the first of which is the preparation of this report. In so doing he takes this opportunity to send his personal best wishes to all members and their families for a successful, happy and healthy New Year. CONFIDENTIAL NIGERIA DIGEST – January 2016 Education New Government Plans & Reorganisation of the Teaching Profession in Nigeria Immediately following his appointment as Minister of State for Education, Professor Anthony Amuka has inaugurated the first stage of a complete overhaul of teaching in Nigeria, which he stated as a priority of the new Government, due to the fact that primary school pupils were still being taught by teachers whose policy was directed towards their pupils' higher education to study such subjects as chemistry, or biology which is at complete variance with Government policy for the childhood curriculum. As a result a significant number of teachers will receive personal training on the techniques and necessity of childhood education which is known to be one of the new President's priorities and is clearly reflected in the allocation to the sector in the 2016 Budget.

    22 Adjustment, Political Transition, and Tiie

    22 UFAHAMU ADJUSTMENT, POLITICAL TRANSITION, AND TIIE ORGANIZATION OF MILITARY POWER IN NIGERIA by Julius 0. Ihonvbere Now, soldiers are part of national problems, rather than problem solvers. And suddenly soldiers are beginning to realize how their thirst for power could plunge their nations into crisis.... In Nigeria, the army authorities are beginning to come to terms with the dangers that the army ironically poses to the nation. t If there is any institution to be least respected in Nigeria, it is the Nigerian army. How could one explain a situation where semi-illiterates whose only qualification is their unguarded accessibility to weapons, want to hold the entire country to ransom?2 With the decline in oil revenues, the closure of credit lines, mounting foreign debts and debt service ratios, and inability to manage an internal economic crisis, the Nigerian government, under General Ibrahim Babangida, had no alternative to adopting a structural adjustment program in 1986. The components of the adjustment program have not been different from those prescribed by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank for other "debt­ distressed" and crisis-ridden African states. It has included policies of desubsidization, deregulation, privatization, retrenchment of workers, and political control of opposition. Nigeria's adjustment program has achieved very lirtle.3 True, a new realism has taken over the society with increasing economic contraction and the gradual rolling back of the state. Yet, at the level of concrete economic achievement, there has been very little to show for the harsh policies imposed on the people.4 The failure, or rather the limited achievement of the adjustment program, can be attributed to a range of internal and external factors.
