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

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.

Abstract

The inhuman socioeconomic repercussions of corruption and bad governance inherent in successive male-dominated governments have generated agitation for increased women's participation in governance. Primarily, this agitation is based on the premise that women are less inclined to corruption, which is a major impediment to good governance. Given the notoriety of these two impediments to development, this study aims to investigate the relationship between women's participation in governance, corruption, and quality of governance in sub-Saharan Africa from 1996 to 2021. This study analyzed annual panel data of four sub-Saharan African countries using the autoregressive distributed lag model and the Granger causality test. Governance quality was proxied by government effectiveness, while women's participation in governance and corruption were proxied by the number of women in government positions and control of corruption, respectively. Economic development and institutional quality were used as control variables. The findings revealed negative main and interaction effects of women's participation in governance and corruption on governance quality, unidirectional causality from corruption to women's participation in governance and from governance quality to women's participation in governance, and bidirectional causality between corruption and governance quality. Quantitative increases in women's participation in governance and corruption exacerbates governance quality. Women's ability to participate in governance is determined by the prevalence of corruption in previous years. Anticorruption campaigns that focused on women's participation in governance often result in reductions in corruption insufficient for improvement of governance quality. Corruption and bad governance are mutually reinforcing. Governance quality determines women's participation in governance. To minimize corruption and bad governance, sub-Saharan African countries should shift their focus away from merely increasing the number of women in government positions to building strong institutions capable of creating a meritocratic political and socioeconomic environment in which selfless women and men have equal chances of being elected or appointed to public offices.
