Abstract

Literature on leadership in Nigeria from the perspective of 1 Kings 3 is hard to find. In the pericope, Solomon was the successor to David in leadership. Solomon kept to the promises and good plans of his predecessor. The pericope shows the roles of godfathers in political leadership. This narrative is of great importance to Nigeria’s leadership challenges in the political arena. This article examines 1 Kings 3:3-14 and its relevance to the leadership challenges in Nigeria. Nigeria is a country where leaders blackmail their predecessors and surround themselves with sycophants and godfathers. Over the years literature has focused on Nigeria’s leadership challenges from the political, sociological and psychological angles. This study provides a theological response to Nigeria’s leadership challenges.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the level of awareness and readiness of final year Christian students in adopting a biblical-based exile lifestyle model. Two research questions and two hypotheses were proposed to guide this study. A descriptive survey research design was employed. The sampling technique used proportional multistage stratified random sampling method to obtain a sample size of 340 final year Christian students in State-owned colleges in Imo Province. The researcher-developed assessment scale titled "Christian Students' Awareness and Readiness Scale for Facing Life Challenges in Exile (CAPLCERS)" was utilized for data collection. This assessment scale comprises two clusters, A and B, with internal consistency reliabilities measured using Cronbach's Alpha of 0.78 and 0.82 respectively. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer research questions, while z-test was employed to test hypotheses at a significance level of 0.05. The research findings indicate that the level of awareness among final year Christian students regarding life challenges in exile during the one-year mandatory National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program is significantly below the expected average. Meanwhile, their readiness level to adopt biblical models for survival and growth in exile is significantly above the expected average. Based on these findings, the research recommends several actions: college authorities need to equip final year students with awareness of potential life challenges they may face during the one-year NYSC program; campus Christian fellowships also need to help prepare their members with biblical models and principles that can assist Christians in surviving and thriving in exile situations; and Christian fellowships or organizations in NYSC training camps need to assist Christian Corps members in integrating and striving for welfare in their placement areas while learning to love and contribute to the growth of communities that may differ in beliefs and cultures.

Abstract

This article examines the capitalist tendencies in Jeremiah 6:13–20 and their implications for Nigeria. Jeremiah 6:13–20, in particular, presents a striking critique of the pervasive greed and corruption among the leaders and people of Judah. This passage reveals the prophet Jeremiah's denunciation of materialistic pursuits and unethical practices that prioritise wealth accumulation over justice and righteousness. In Nigeria, the prophets and priests are giving prophecies for self-gain. They prophesy to the people about the number of enemies chasing them or stopping their progress in their bid to get money from the people. Families have been disintegrated because of some of these prophecies. It was on this premise that Jeremiah noted that these prophets practice deceit. This is a qualitative study using the narrative method. The data was from secondary literature. The data was analysed using content analysis. Emerged themes include: a) unrestrained greed and materialism; b) corruption and deception; c) neglect of justice; d) false security in wealth; and d) consequences of unchecked capitalism. Recommendations are discussed.

Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the experiences of girls living in IDP camps in Benue State, Nigeria, and what FBOs could do to ameliorate their sufferings. The conflict in Benue State has occurred between the Fulani pastoralists, or herdsmen, and the indigenous people of Benue and it has led to the displacement of thousands of girls. Literature has not yet addressed the experiences of girls in internally displaced camps and the work of faith-based organisations in the various camps. Three camps in Benue State were chosen by the researchers. They are the Makurdi, Guma, and Agatu camps. Thirty (N = 30) in-depth interviews (IDI) with female IDPs in Benue State were conducted by the researchers. The participants were purposively selected. A semi-structured interview was adopted, and the data was analysed using content analysis. Emergent themes include the environment of the girl child in IDP camps, reasons for the abuse of the girl child in IDP camps, and impacts of the abuse on the girl child in IDP camps. Girls in Benue State's internally displaced people’s camps endure appalling living conditions, including little access to basic amenities, a high risk of sexual exploitation, and few options for employment and education.

Abstract

In Northern Nigeria, deeply embedded socio-cultural and religious norms continue to marginalize girls and young women through systemic practices such as child marriage, sexual violence, limited access to reproductive health education, and economic dependency. Despite increasing awareness of gender inequality in the region, there remains a limited understanding of the lived experiences of affected individuals. This study explores how patriarchal values and harmful traditions shape the daily realities of girls and women in northeastern and northwestern Nigeria. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth oral interviews with 30 purposively selected participants aged 12–73. Thematic analysis using the Colaizzi method revealed four major themes: widespread sexual abuse, unsafe abortion practices, limited health literacy, and deepening economic dependence. These findings highlight how silence—driven by cultural taboos and institutional neglect—perpetuates gender-based harm. The study contributes to global gender discourse by foregrounding the voices of marginalized Muslim girls and women, offering culturally contextualized evidence to inform gender-sensitive policy and advocacy by governments, NGOs, and faith-based organizations.
