Abstract

The relationship that exists between politics and religion cannot be over-emphasized in Nigeria polity since the evolution of a sustainable democracy which has heightened the relevance of religion in our society. Religion has been identified as one of the factors that have divided the people of Nigeria who are divided already by many phenomena that are of nature. The diversities engineered by cultures, customs, traditions and values are not as potent as religion in dividing the people, ensuing conflict, creating a paradise for favoritism, generating riot and insurgence. Religious leaders have become force to reckon with in the country, many of them become politicians out of the blues because of their influence on the mindset of their members to decide as regard electioneering activities. However, politics needs to be guided by religion ideally, evidently most policies fabricated, go in line with dogmas of either Christianity or Islam before other indexes may follow. People are better divided by religion. This paper focuses on examining the influence of religion on politics in Nigeria’s fourth republic using the Boko-haram insurgence as the major yardstick to establishing the impacts of religion on the divisive Nigeria.

Abstract

This article argues that the policy of the federal government of Nigeria in establishing settlement for herders who are mostly Fulani in different states of the country is perceived by other ethnic groups as advancement of ethnic and religious politics. This perception has led to counter ethno-religious narratives with accompanying increased tensions for the country. Ethno-religious politics has not only become the defining character of Nigerian federation overtime but its continuous unbridled expression, manifestation and dire consequences are currently threatening the existence of the country as a sovereign polity. This article through qualitative secondary data from media reports, scholarly articles, government publications and internet resources examines the Cattle Settlement policy, its merits and demerits within the context of a troubled federation. The article concludes on ways of resolving the emerging crisis through proper framing of the policy for wide acceptability taking into cognizance the diversity that defines the country’s existence and the need to pursue enduring peace in the polity.

Abstract

Several scholarly and scientific attentions have indeed been geared towards the studies on xenophobia in South Africa but little and very limited interrogation have been devoted to its precipitating politics. Extant works and studies on xenophobia in South Africa, in addition to their differing perspectives, have focused more on how to address the xenophobic reality rather than trying to understand why the politics of xenophobia has persisted unabatedly despite several remedial interventions from government and key stakeholders. This study bridges the gap by attempting to, very importantly, understand and advance reasons as to why the politics has continued against all efforts geared towards addressing it. While Brown Harrry’s scapegoating thesis, Pillay’s relative deprivation of South African blacks and Crush’s cultural explanation amongst many others have attempted to offer empirical views on the manifestation of xenophobia in South Africa, that which is central to the understanding of the xenophobic phenomenon was innocently overlooked. The study therefore sees “politics” as being central to any attempt to understanding the manifestation of xenophobia in South Africa. The overwhelming scientific discourses and perspectives offered by this study on the politics of xenophobia would therefore help in bridging the gap in the extant literature and the body of knowledge.

Abstract

Politics and religion overtime have become two sides of a coin. This is particularly through of Africa, Nigeria inclusive, due to the nature of colonialism that accompanied introduction of Christian religion. No matter how conceived, the activities of the various missionary bodies that came with colonialism brought about development to Nigeria in all spheres of live especially in the education sector. This can be attested to by many schools set up by the Christian missionaries that provided quality education for many generations during and after colonial rule in the country. This paper attempts to investigate the activities of the Living Faith church (Winners Chapel) in bringing development through education. The paper found that the Living Faith church have invested vigorously in the education sector as manifested in the establishment of two Universities and chains of Secondary and Primary schools across the country that have continued to train scores of Nigerians and in turn contributing to the development of the country. Although it has been argued that the type of education provided by this church is too expensive and targeted at the elites when compared to the education provided by the early Christian missionaries. The paper concludes that since governmental authorities at various levels have continued to neglect the education sector in spite of the teeming yearning of Nigerians for quality education, the cost of ignorance cannot be compared to the services rendered by the Living faith church in the education sector and thereby contributing its own quota to the development of Nigeria.
