Health workers within the Nigerian Health system have remained the weakest link resulting in the loss of critical investments.” The immediate past President of the Nigeria Medical Association (NMA), Dr Francis Adedayo Faduyile, in an interview with Daily Trust, said poor funding of the health sector, lack of employment opportunities for doctors, overworking doctors, hostile working environment and insecurity such as incidences of kidnappings, are contributing to the emigration of doctors. He said, “There is poor employment of doctors, both consultants, junior officers and very senior officers. Many states are not employing doctors. We have consultants who are not gainfully employed or underemployed. Some young doctors finished either housemanship, National Youth Service Working conditions are diffi cult for doctors in Corps (NYSC), or who just finished their Nigeria forcing many of them abroad studies for housemanship and don’t have anywhere to work.

No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means electronic, mechanical, photocopying, or otherwise, without the prior permission of the copyright owner. © Olusegun Osoba and Yusufu Bala Usman ISBN e-book edition 978-574-69-1-4 First printed January 2019 i Dedication In memory of Yusufu Bala Usman and other fallen heroes of the struggle for a better Nigeria. ii Acknowledgements The publication of this book had its genesis in 2017, even before the creation of the Yusufu Bala Usman Institute, while some of us were associated with Ceddert. The initial idea came from Attahiru Bala Usman, who mentioned that people had been asking him where they could get copies of this rare but well known manuscript which was virtually impossible to obtain. It lay on shelves of activists and scholars since its initial launching as a mimeographed document in 1976 but had never been published. Thus we began the journey of reviving the document and getting it into print. First of all, we were not sure of the whereabouts of Dr. Segun Osoba, particularly since General Olusegun Obasanjo had pronounced him dead in his memoirs, My Watch, where he mentioned that both of the authors of the Minority Report were no longer alive. Fortunately we found that Dr. Osoba was very much alive and living in Ijebu Ode.

  • Understanding the Twists and Turns of Terrorism Among Muslims in the Nigerian Experience: an Assessment
    Journal of Religion and Theology Volume 2, Issue 1, 2018, PP 1-15 Understanding the Twists and Turns of Terrorism among Muslims in the Nigerian Experience: An Assessment Ojo Joseph Rapheal Department of Religion and African Culture, Adekunle Ajasin University, P.M.B. 001, Akungba, Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria, West Africa *Corresponding Authors: Ojo Joseph Rapheal, Department of Religion and African Culture, Adekunle Ajasin University, P.M.B. 001, Akungba, Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria, West Africa ABSTRACT The history of humanity is replete with different acts of terrorism across ages and civilizations which takes different forms but fundamentally, they reflect man‟s inhumanity to man. Basically, different ideologies form the basis for such heinous acts. Nigeria, being a pluralistic society that is predominantly Muslims and Christians, has been faced with different forms of religious fundamentalism, extremism and terrorist attacks in the past four decades especially arising from some sects under the guise of promoting Islamic ideology for the establishment of „Islamic State‟ across the length and breadth of Nigeria. Engaging this issue through the historical, phenomenological and sociological research approaches, it was discovered that most of these acts of religious radicalism, extremism and terrorism are often hinged on religious and ideological manipulation, ignorance, poverty, absence of functional structure that promotes the operation of rule of law, thus increasing the frequency of violence and its effects. The work therefore recommended among other things the de-emphasizing of religious exclusivism, deconstruction of the age-long theologies of absolute truth claim, e.t.c. The conclusion of the work is that, dignity of humanity must take precedence over every religious contravening ideology that often leads to brutality and dehumanization of fellow human beings.
