  • The Brides of Boko Haram: Economic Shocks, Marriage Practices, and Insurgency in Nigeria∗
    The Brides of Boko Haram: Economic Shocks, Marriage Practices, and Insurgency in Nigeria∗ Jonah Rexery University of Pennsylvania January 9, 2019 Abstract In rural Nigeria, marriage markets are characterized by the customs of bride-price – pre-marital payments from the groom to the family of the bride – and polygamy – the practice of taking more than one wife. These norms can diminish marriage prospects for young men, causing them to join violent insurgencies. Using an instrumental variables strategy, I find that greater inequality of brides among men increases the incidence of militant activity by the extremist group Boko Haram. To instrument for village-level marriage inequality, I exploit the fact that young women delay marriage in response to good pre-marital economic conditions, which increases marriage inequality more in polygamous areas. Supporting the mechanism, I find that the same positive female income shocks which increase marriage inequality and extremist activity also reduce female marriage hazard, lead women to marry richer and more polyga- mous husbands, generate higher average marriage expenditures, and increase abductions and violence against women. The results shed light on the marriage market as an important but hitherto neglected driver of violent extremism.

  • Patriarchy: a Driving Force for the Abuse of Reproductive Rights of Women in Nigeria
    www.ijird.com February, 2016 Vol 5 Issue 3 ISSN 2278 – 0211 (Online) Patriarchy: A Driving Force for the Abuse of Reproductive Rights of Women in Nigeria Felicia Anyogu Associate Professor, Faculty of Law, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Nigeria B. N. Okpalobi Associate Professor, Faculty of Law, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Nigeria Abstract: Reproductive health is a state of complete psychological, physical and social well-being of individuals and reproductive health rights means that everyone has the right to integral well-being in reproductive concerns. This further implies people have the right to practice sexual relationships, reproduce, regulate their fertility, enjoy sexual relationships and protection against sexually transmitted diseases and so on. Women in Nigeria are in every context socially, economically, legally and culturally disadvantaged as a result of the deep patriarchal nature of the Nigerian society. Patriarchy is also the root of the cultural norms and traditions which are all forms of abuse of the reproductive rights of women. This paper looks at patriarchy as the root of the subjugation of women in Nigeria and analyses its overriding effect on all the factors that militate against the reproductive rights of women. Recommendations that will make a positive change if adhered to, shall also be proffered. Keywords: Patriarchy, abuse, reproductive rights, women, Nigeria. 1. Introduction The Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1999) in Chapter IV guarantees the Right to Life (S. 33) to all citizens. The enjoyment of good health, and by extension reproductive health is incidental on right to Life but these are not guaranteed as of right by the Constitution since they are not presented as fundamental.

  • Law Reform in the Muslim World: a Comparative Study of the Practice and Legal Framework of Polygamy in Selected Jurisdictions
    International Journal of Business & Law Research 2(3):32-44, September 2014 © SEAHI PUBLICATIONS, 2014 www.seahipaj.org ISSN: 2360-8986 LAW REFORM IN THE MUSLIM WORLD: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF THE PRACTICE AND LEGAL FRAMEWORK OF POLYGAMY IN SELECTED JURISDICTIONS YELWA, Isa Mansur Ph. D Researcher, Postgraduate & Research, Ahmad Ibrahim Kulliyyah of Laws, International Islamic University, 53100, Jln Gombak, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia H/P +60166194962 (Malaysia) +2348068036959 (Nigeria) Email of corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper studies the framework of family law in general and of polygamy in particular in the various jurisdictions around the Muslim world. The chronicles in the application of Islamic law in relation to polygamy in those jurisdictions are comparatively analyzed based on historical developments of their legal systems on the application of Islamic law and reforms that were introduced therein to suit the needs and challenges of legal dynamism based on suitability with the people, place and time. Jurisdictions within the sphere of the study are categorized into three, namely: 1. Jurisdictions where polygamy is practiced without regulation; 2. Jurisdictions where polygamy is outlawed; and 3. Jurisdictions where polygamy is practiced under a regulated framework. For each category, a number of relevant jurisdictions are selected for study. The legal framework on polygamy in the selected jurisdictions is briefly elaborated with precision based on the applicable statutory and judicial authorities available. The social set up of the people involved in polygamy in some jurisdictions is illustrated where needed in order to unveil the legal challenges in them. For each jurisdiction, the study examines the law that applied before, subsequent reforms that were brought into them and the contemporary applicable law and its challenges if any.

Polygyny in Africa is regarded as a veritable sexual ethics devoid of adultery or concubinage, but an instrument for social status and economic strength. Homosexuality is a forbidden sexual ethics in African societies, and is seen as genocide targeted at exterminating a tribe or human race. Polygamy and homosexuality which are the crux of this paper could be seen from African Christian spirituality. As we rationally explore other cultures, and borrow according to genuine needs to reinforce ours, this paper recommends that we Africans must have the courage to affirm our cultural heritage, without any indulgence in 41 Copyright © IAARR 2012: www.afrrevjo.net/afrrevijah AFRREV IJAH, Vol.1 (2) May, 2012 cultural anachronism and without any morbid and hollow guest for irrelevant cultural authenticity either.

  • Customary Land Rights and Gender Justice in Eastern Nigeria and Ghana
    CUSTOMARY LAND RIGHTS AND GENDER JUSTICE IN EASTERN NIGERIA AND GHANA NELSON O. MADUMERE A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the University of East London for the degree of PhD in Law School of Business and Law September 2018 i ABSTRACT Common approaches to the challenges of tenure discrimination and inequitable land administration system in Nigerian centres on the adoption of statutory legal propositions and judicial proscriptions for the achievement of the desired goals. This entails the adoption and elevation of conventional land administration principles as the ultimate standard for evaluating all other tenurial and land administration systems in Nigeria. The continued existence of these challenges and emergence of fresh constraints clearly underscore the ineffectiveness of the policy choices and preferred administrative responses to the achievement of desired goals, and the continued reliance on these approaches alone risk marginalising further the voices of local communities, especially women. In the case of the Igbos of the Eastern Nigeria, this results in failure to address the systemic challenges of tenure insecurity, rural poverty, unsustainable development and continued existence of various outlawed discriminatory customary practices that disinherit and subjugate women. Even the recent Supreme Court’s intervention makes negligible impacts as most of these proscribed practices continue to enjoy social legitimacy and remain operational secretly. Drawing from the outcomes of the recent Ghanaian reform experiences, this thesis looks at the prospects for reformation and statutory recognition of customary tenure system in Eastern Nigeria using the principles of “Responsible Land Management”, “Fit-for- purpose (FFP)”, “Continuum of land-rights” and “Social Tenure Domain Model (STDM)” land tools.

  • The Critical Concept of Afrocentrism in Nigerian Literature Submitted
    The Critical Concept of Afrocentrism in Nigerian Literature Submitted by Chike Francis Mgbeadichie to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English In June 2015 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ………………………………………………………….. Abstract Since the early 1960s, Afrocentrism has been developed as a theory that resists forms of marginalisation of African peoples, places African culture at the centre of inquiry, and promotes African peoples as subjects rather than objects of humanity. However, as this thesis sets out to show, this theory has gained more ground as an anti-Eurocentric theory that liberates Africans from the margins of western domination and colonization. This project intends to challenge this limited critique of Afrocentrism. In ‘Afrocentrism: The Argument We’re Really Having’ [American Historical Review, 30 (1996), 202-39], Ibrahim Sundiata, a leading Afrocentrist, argues that ‘any theoretical move directed at erasing inscriptions of inequality, marginalisation and subjugation of any kind among African peoples could be classified as a version of the Afrocentric impulse.’ Extending Sundiata’s argument, this thesis situates the criticism of three insidious Nigerian traditions which marginalise and subjugate fellow Nigerians as Afrocentric discourse: i) the marginalisation of women, ii) the Osu caste system, and iii) the Oro festival and the tradition of ritual suicide.
