Abstract

One of the major environmental problems in Nigeria today is that of oil pollution in the oil producing areas of the country. The country has suffered environmental degradation as a result of the oil pollution in the last of five (5) decades. The causes of this oil pollution were oil spillage, gas flaring, and effluent discharge from the refineries. These have caused untold hardships on the people living close or near the oil installations or facilities and have affected their lives, wellbeing, means of livelihood and the environment generally. Oil pollution activities have also affected their right to good and decent life, human dignity and lots. Unfortunately, the victims seem to be unable to assert their human right. The reason being that there are no constitutional and statutory provisions on environmental right to those who suffer such except common law remedies such as negligence, nuisance etc which require strict and technical proofs. The constitutional provision on the right to environment in chapter II of the 1999 constitution is lax and not justifiable. The only available redress is recourse to the human rights in Nigeria isa recourse to chapter 4 of the Constitution. This situation has caused untold hardship on the people because they have no way of seeking redress when their rights are being violated. As a result of this ugly development, this work has recommended that Nigeria should borrow a leaf from other jurisdictions such as India, South Africa etc. where human rights and environmental rights are practiced together.

Abstract

The problem of environmental degradation is not limited to any particular country or region but it is global. In fact, the concern for environmental problems has never been as high as it is now. It is a high time to engage earth’s citizen in a dynamic process about the environmental realities of today’s world. Attitudes and Ethics towards the use of environmental resources must change our practices in the environment, we must re-educate ourselves to treat the environment with greater caution and control. It is this realization that gives ‘environmental attitude’, ‘environmental ethics’, environmental practices’ a place of prime importance in Environmental Degradation. As culture carries a whole set of attitudes, ethics, practices and perspectives of one’s relationship with others including environment, there have been calls from many environmental scholars for the need for a global environmental ethics. This article brightens the non-prudential dimensions of global environmental affairs and explains how a focus on the way humans mistreat each other can serve as a central ethical focus for understanding and addressing environmental injustice. Overall, it aims to show the importance of The Earth Charter’s vision of universal responsibility towards environmental protection. The Charter acknowledges that although comprising local communities, the Earth is also one whole community

Abstract

This paper sets out to explore the motive behind Derrida’s usage of the messianic, a term so already charged with religious significance. The messianic is a term that has so much baggage of a certain dogmatic, particular, and exclusive way of reading and interpreting human history. Why does Derrida employ the term messianicity? To what degree had he been successful in his usage of it? What has been gained or lost therein? Another line of inquiry that this paper sets out to follow is to find the difference that marks Derrida’s messianic from (other) previous ones, for instance that which characterize the institutionalized Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity, Islam, etc. and the sort of messianism that found expression in Marxism. Given the structure of Derridean Messianism, the paper attempt to see the relevant opening it could provide toward reading, de/re-constructing the cultural, socio-economic and political history of human kind. Derrida, though not one who believes in religion, this work shall attempt to show how he sets out in the Specter of Marx, to forge the link between Marx and some prophets, through the mediation of Shakespeare.
