  • Nigeria: Researched and Compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of Ireland on 13 May 2010
    Nigeria: Researched and compiled by the Refugee Documentation Centre of Ireland on 13 May 2010 1. Please indicate what difficulties a child with autism or special needs as a result of an intellectual disability would encounter in nigeria:­ A. In accessing medical intervention or assistance from state authorities B. From the general community and family and in school 2. Would the parent (mother) of a child with autism or special needs as a result of an intellectual disability encounter any discrimination or difficulties in nigeria because of her child's condition? The United States Department of State report in March 2010 reviewing events of 2009 notes that for children there was: poor access to health care (United States Department of State, (11 March 2010), 2009 Human Rights Report: Nigeria, Section 6 Discrimination, Societal Abuses, and Trafficking in Persons, Children). This report also notes: Persons with disabilities faced social stigma, exploitation, and discrimination, and they were often regarded by their families as a source of shame. Many families viewed children with disabilities who could not contribute to family income as liabilities and sometimes severely abused or neglected them. Many indigent persons with disabilities begged on the streets (ibid, Section 6 Discrimination, Societal Abuses, and Trafficking in Persons, Persons with Disabilities). A report by the Nigerian state submitted to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child published in January 2010 states: Physically and emotionally challenged children have access to scholarship in some States as well as, free medical care, school bus, recreation facilities and book subsidies (UN Committee on the Rights of the Child, (5 January 2010), Consideration of reports submitted by States parties under article 44 of the Convention : Convention on the Rights of the Child : 3rd and 4th periodic report of States parties due in 2008 : Nigeria,p.88).

  • Nigeria: Badoo Cult, Including Areas of Operation and Activities; State Response to the Group; Treatment of Badoo Members Or Alleged Members (2016-December 2019)
    Responses to Information Requests - Immigration and Refugee Board of... https://www.irb-cisr.gc.ca/en/country-information/rir/Pages/index.aspx?... Nigeria: Badoo cult, including areas of operation and activities; state response to the group; treatment of Badoo members or alleged members (2016-December 2019) 1. Overview Nigerian media sources have reported on the following: "'Badoo Boys'" (The Sun 27 Aug. 2019); "Badoo cult" (Vanguard with NAN 2 Jan. 2018; This Day 22 Jan. 2019); "Badoo gang" (Business Day 9 July 2017); "Badoo" (Vanguard with NAN 2 Jan. 2018). A July 2017 article in the Nigerian newspaper Business Day describes Badoo as "[a] band of rapists and ritual murderers that has been wreaking havoc on residents of Ikorodu area" of Lagos state (Business Day 9 July 2017). The article adds that [t]he Badoo gang’s reign of terror has reportedly spread throughout Lasunwon, Odogunyan, Ogijo, Ibeshe Tutun, Eruwen, Olopomeji and other communities in Ikorodu. Their underlying motivation seems to be ritualistic in nature. The gang members are reported to wipe their victims’ private part[s] with a white handkerchief after each rape for onward delivery to their alleged sponsors; slain victims have also been said to have had their heads smashed with a grinding stone and their blood and brain soaked with white handkerchiefs for ritual purposes. Latest reports quoted an arrested member of the gang to have told the police that each blood-soaked handkerchief is sold for N500,000 [Nigerian Naira, NGN] [approximately C$2,000]. (Business Day 9 July 2017) A 2 January 2018 report in the Nigerian newspaper Vanguard provided the following context: It all started after a suspect, described by some residents of Ikorodu area as a "serial rapist and ritual killer," was arrested at Ibeshe.

  • An Assessment of the Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility on Nigerian Society: the Examples of Banking and Communication Industries
    Universal Journal of Marketing and Business Research Vol. 1(1) pp. 017-043, May, 2012 Available online http://www.universalresearchjournals.org/ujmbr Copyright © 2012 Transnational Research Journals Full Length Research Paper An assessment of the impact of corporate social responsibility on Nigerian society: The examples of banking and communication industries Adeyanju, Olanrewaju David Department of Financial Studies Redeemer’s University, km 46, Lagos Ibadan Expressway Mowe, Ogun State E-mail: [email protected], Tel No.: 07037794073 Accepted 30 January, 2012 In the Nigerian society, Corporate Social Responsibilities [CSR] has been a highly cotemporary and contextual issue to all stakeholders including the government, the corporate organization itself, and the general public. The public contended that the payment of taxes and the fulfillment of other civic rights are enough grounds to have the liberty to take back from the society in terms of CSR undertaken by other stakeholders. Some ten year ago, what characterized the Nigerian society was fragrant pollution of the air, of the water and of the environment. Most corporate organizations are concerned about what they can take out of the society, and de-emphasized the need to give back to the society [their host communities]. This attitude often renders the entire community uninhabitable. A case in mind is the Niger Delta area of Nigeria. This translated to negative integrity and reputation on the part of corporate identity as people perceived this as exploitation and greed for profitability and wealth maximization within a decaying economy of Nigeria. However, the general belief is that both business and society gain when firms actively strive to be socially responsible; that is, the business organizations gain in enhanced reputation, while society gains from the social projects executed by the business organization.
