Purpose - Nigeria is the seventh most populous country in the world, and estimated population growth suggests that it will become the fourth most populous country by 2050. Population distribution shows a dominant youth bulge and geometric growth in the last three decades. However, blessed with a large population, Nigeria suffers from hunger and food insecurity, with an estimated 23 million (10.55%) facing food shortages in 2023. Therefore, the question arises whether there is a link between population explosion and food security in Nigeria. Methodology - This study answers the puzzle of the relationship between population growth and food security in Nigeria. The study uses documented sources and empirical data and applies content analysis to discuss the significant findings. Findings - The study concludes that the population explosion is not a curse or negative phenomenon causing food insecurity in Nigeria. However, relatively ineffective agricultural policies, conflicts in agricultural areas, displacement through insurgency, banditry and conflicts between farmers and herders, climatic factors, and underutilized youth and land are more responsible for the food security crisis than population growth. Implication - Therefore, the study recommends, among other things, that agricultural policies must be changed to a modern farming system and that youth must be involved in profitable agricultural production to increase productivity and ensure food security in the future.

Nigeria is composed of plural and multi-complex societies with multiple ethnic groups of up to 500 cultural diversities. This country surmounts the obstacles of managing diversity through an informal setting popularly identified as a zoning formula and power sharing among the federating units. The pattern and trend in which the practice maintains Nigeria's diversity is a good lesson for a study of plural societies and consociationalism. The study aimed to examine the nature and dimension of zoning formula and power sharing in Nigeria and analyze how the strategies of zoning formula and power sharing helped manage diversity in Nigeria. The study was identified as a descriptive qualitative method that sought to describe Nigeria's strategy for managing diversity. The study uncovered that power sharing and zoning consist of constitutional and unconstitutional ones, with the former supported by legal provisions. Simultaneously, the latter is designed based on principles and gentleman agreements. The study recommended that constitutional provisions should never be sacrificed on the altar of the personal elite agreement. Instead, sharing power through zoning should be retained to prevent suicide for credibility and competency. It is a plausible shock absorber that will continue to sustain Nigerian federalism, and other plural societies can borrow this model as a political means of resolving diversities.Keywords: Consociationalism, Constitution, Nigeria.

The decision of customers to engage with Islamic banking products is influenced by factors that cater to their desires and needs, with Hajj being a profound aspiration for every Indonesian Muslim. This study aims to scrutinize the impact of promotion and corporate image on customer decisions regarding the utilization of the Haji iB Maslahah savings product at Bank Jabar Banten Syariah KCP Cikurubuk. Questionnaires were distributed to customers of Mudharabah savings products at the mentioned bank, yielding 20 purposively sampled respondents. The data analysis involved multiple linear regression. The findings indicate that both promotion and corporate image collectively influence customer decisions, supported by F counts > F tables (7.819 > 3.59). On a partial level, promotion significantly impacts customer decisions (t calculate > t table: 3.345 > 2.10092), while corporate image, unfortunately, does not have a significant effect on customer decisions (t calculate < t table: 0.683 < 2.10092). This underscores the critical importance of robust promotion strategies and the ongoing maintenance of a positive corporate image. The implications of this research extend to Islamic banking, urging continual enhancement of promotion efforts and corporate image management to enhance customer decisions in favor of their products.

Corruption has become a pandemic and a moral burden that bedeviled the world. Corruption is a practice that permeates all societal segments, sectors, activities and it takes various shapes, forms, dimensions, classifications and manifestations. Nearly all countries of the world are affected by the endemic of corruption albeit, in different magnitude with some having lower incidence while others a high rate of occurrence. Corruption has constituted itself as a political and socioeconomic problem worldwide because it leads to misgovernance, deprivation, inequality and squander of scarce public resources which have the concomitant repercussions of poverty, insecurity, joblessness, hunger and malnutrition, poor healthcare services delivery and low quality education. The problem of corruption took a new dimension when it continuously defies various strategies and alternatives proffered by nation-states, international organisations and agencies. One of the outstanding measures that permanently proves workable is the Islamic model which forbids the practice of corruption and ties it with moral burden and spiritual integrity. Hence, this study presented an alternative model with reference to Nigeria as the area of study. The study utilised a conceptual descriptive approach where documented sources were consulted and analysed. The study discovered that despite the existence of various anti-graft agencies, corruption continues in Nigeria unabated which portrays the need for adopting a different approach and that has been provided as the Islamic perspective. The study recommends among several others that the Islamic ethics and morals of detesting corrupt practices and the accompanied sanctions should be integrated in the crusade against corruption.

The funding of political parties during the electoral process in Nigeria is gradually undermining democratic competition, accountability, transparency and opportunities for the weak and dominated sections of the society. The legal provisions in both the 1999 Constitution and the Electoral Act 2022 unequivocally set out the ceiling on expenditure, description of legal sources of campaign expenditure, ceiling on contributions and associated penalties for violations. Unfortunately, experience, particularly in the 2015, 2019 and 2023 parliamentary elections, has shown excessive spending, breaches of the rules and impunity for violations that were not sanctioned by the relevant authorities. This study therefore examines how the party funding process has disadvantaged and excluded women from participating in elective offices, resulting in an extremely small number of women winning in the recently concluded 2023 general elections. The study is based on a qualitative-descriptive research design. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with informants and focus group discussions as well as personal observation of participants. The data collected was grouped into themes and discussed using tables, charts and empirical analyses. The study reports that women are marginalised, dominated, overshadowed and oppressed by men in Nigerian politics because of men's overspending. The study recommends, among other things, that policies, including harsh penalties, should be applied to offenders who spend beyond the limit in order to control money politics and create a level playing field.

Research Problem: Poverty in Nigeria is widespread and deeply entrenched, affecting the majority of the population. This persistent deprivation is exacerbated by policy failures, corruption, and the limited adoption of alternative poverty‐alleviation strategies. Recent reports indicate a rapid rise in multidimensional poverty, pushing many households into extreme hardship and making day-to-day survival increasingly difficult. Research Purposes: This study aims to analyze poverty-alleviation strategies through an alternative Islamic approach, assess the potential of Islamic instruments to reduce inequality and poverty in Nigeria, and formulate recommendations for integrating these mechanisms into government policies and programs. Research Methods: The research employs a qualitative design, drawing data from existing documents and secondary sources. Analysis is grounded in empiricism, involving rigorous evaluation of prior studies to test their validity and accuracy and to ensure that conclusions rest on a robust evidence base. Results and Discussion: Findings show that Islamic teachings—derived from Qur’anic verses, prophetic traditions, and scholarly consensus—offer credible mechanisms to address poverty. Core instruments include zakat, inheritance, charity (sadaqah), gifts (hibah), feeding initiatives, and selfless community support. These mechanisms mobilize wealth from the affluent and redistribute it to the less privileged, thereby narrowing inequality and lowering poverty levels; however, their potential impact in Nigeria remains underrealized due to weak implementation, policy shortcomings, and corruption. Research Implications and Contributions: At the policy level, governments should intensify zakat collection and other organized forms of charity and establish capable agencies to redistribute resources fairly and effectively. Practically, the study offers an actionable framework for integrating Islamic social-finance tools into poverty-reduction programs. Academically, it consolidates evidence that Islamic economic instruments constitute context-appropriate and credible strategies for reducing poverty and inequality in Nigeria.
