Abstract

This research explores the collaborative development of ethical artificial intelligence (AI) tools with religious communities to enhance worship practices, inform moral decision-making, and support social cohesion. As AI technologies increasingly intersect with spiritual life—through applications such as automated liturgy generators and pastoral chatbots—there is an urgent need to ensure these systems uphold religious values and contribute positively to community well-being. While existing AI ethics frameworks are largely rooted in secular paradigms, few integrate religious epistemologies or position faith groups as active partners in design processes. Addressing this gap, the study investigates how religious communities and AI specialists can co-create systems that align with sacred values and promote communal resilience. Employing a participatory action methodology, the research engaged multi-faith dialogue groups, collaborative design sessions involving theologians and programmers, and case studies from Christian, Muslim, and Traditionalist communities in Nigeria. Findings indicate that effective integration of AI in religious contexts is contingent upon context-sensitive moral reflection, transparent data governance, and trust in institutions. The study argues that ethical AI for religious use must emerge from genuine collaboration rather than external imposition. It recommends the establishment of interfaith technology centers, the direct involvement of theologians in AI development teams, and the formulation of governance models informed by religious ethics and local priorities. These measures not only safeguard religious practices but also contribute to equitable and sustainable digital ecosystems aligned with global development objectives.

Abstract

This study explores the complex interplay between religion and healthcare in Ibadan, Nigeria, with a focus on how religious beliefs shape health-seeking behaviour, influence healthcare delivery, and generate specific challenges at the intersection of faith and medicine. In a society where religion deeply informs perceptions of illness, wellness, and healing, understanding its role in health systems is essential. Despite the prominence of religion in Nigerian life, limited research has addressed how religious values align or conflict with evidence-based medical practices and their implications for equitable healthcare access. This study seeks to fill that gap by addressing three core questions: (1) How do religious beliefs affect health-seeking behaviour? (2) What roles do faith-based organisations (FBOs) play in complementing state healthcare services? (3) What ethical dilemmas and resource disparities emerge from the integration of religious and medical frameworks? Employing a mixed-methods approach, the study gathered data through surveys (n = 300), semi-structured interviews (n = 20), and a comprehensive literature review, analyzed within the framework of Social Constructivist Theory. Findings show that 66.78% of respondents attribute illness to spiritual causes and often prioritize faith-based interventions. FBOs operate 35% of healthcare facilities, offering trusted and affordable care, yet face challenges such as commercialisation and uneven urban-rural service distribution. Ethical conflicts, particularly concerning contraception and blood transfusions highlight tensions between religious doctrine and medical ethics. The study recommends enhancing collaboration between religious and governmental health initiatives, incorporating cultural sensitivity training for healthcare providers, and strengthening rural healthcare infrastructure. These strategies aim to harmonize spiritual values with scientific care, improving health outcomes within Nigeria’s diverse sociocultural landscape.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between social media, religious extremism, and moral responsibility in Nigeria, with particular attention to the dual role of digital platforms as spaces for free expression and as channels for the dissemination of harmful ideologies. Against the backdrop of a communication landscape increasingly shaped by social media, the study addresses the rise of hate speech, misinformation, and the radicalization of vulnerable groups, especially within Nigeria’s context of deep ethnic and religious divisions and persistent security threats from extremist groups such as Boko Haram. The study seeks to explore how free expression can be protected while addressing the ethical consequences of digital communication and the underlying drivers of radicalization. Drawing on evidence from academic literature, policy texts, and illustrative case examples, the analysis shows that weak content moderation systems, legal and regulatory gaps, and enduring socio-economic grievances facilitate the spread of extremist narratives online. The study further highlights the roles of state institutions, technology companies, religious leaders, and the wider public in mitigating these risks. It concludes that unchecked online discourse can intensify extremist beliefs, fuel violence, and undermine social cohesion, thereby necessitating stronger multi-stakeholder cooperation to develop ethical, context-sensitive responses that safeguard democratic freedoms while promoting religious peace and national stability.

Abstract

Although cancer care is often dominated by biomedical treatment, the psychosocial and existential dimensions of patients’ experiences remain critical to health outcomes and quality of life. This study examines the impact of spiritual practices on health outcomes and quality of life among cancer patients in Ibadan, Nigeria, with particular attention to coping mechanisms, religiously shaped health perceptions, and the integration of spiritual care within clinical practice. Addressing a gap in culturally relevant and patient-centred cancer care models in Nigeria, the study employed a phenomenological approach involving 20 purposively selected patients. The findings show that spiritual practices function as important frameworks for meaning-making, emotional support, and enhanced self-efficacy, thereby strengthening patients’ resilience and capacity to cope with illness. At the same time, variations across Christianity, Islam, and African Traditional Religions, together with experiences of spiritual struggle and inadequate institutional support, reveal the complexity of integrating spiritual care into oncology settings. The study concludes that spiritual care can substantially enhance holistic well-being when it is aligned with patients’ beliefs and contexts. This research contributes to the development of more culturally adaptive and holistic cancer care by underscoring the need for spiritual care training for healthcare providers, collaboration with religious leaders, and the design of context-sensitive interventions that harmonize medical and spiritual support.
