Abstract

The Richards constitution of 1946 remains a watershed in the annals of Nigeria’s political development. It was that constitution that split Nigeria into three regions and inadvertently, injected regionalism and ethnicism into Nigerian politics. The formation in 1951 of both Action Group and the Northern People’s Congress polarized Nigerian nationalism along ethnic, regional, and even religious lines. Adopting the qualitative research methodology of content analysis, this paper observed that party politics in Nigeria has not succeeded in any appreciable degree, in engendering national integration, nation-building, and national development since 1999 which is Nigeria’s forth attempt at democratic governance. A number of factors were identified as stumbling blocks in this regard. The conclusion was that though political parties are expected to provide a forum for articulating programmes meant to be inclusive and encourage national integration, political contestations in Nigeria has remained fainted with ethnic, regional and religious particularisms. This was especially so between 2015 and 2023.

Abstract

The question of whether the cosmos has a finite beginning or an infinite past remains a central issue in both philosophy and contemporary cosmology. This study investigates the metaphysical and physical plausibility of a past-eternal universe by integrating philosophical analysis with conceptual examination of modern cosmological models. Employing qualitative philosophical methodology and critical analysis of theoretical physics, the paper evaluates temporal ontology (A-theory and B-theory), the implications of special relativity, and paradoxes associated with actual infinities, including Thomson’s Lamp and a formalized infinite traversal analogy. The analysis argues that an actual infinite temporal regress generates logical and metaphysical difficulties, particularly under a dynamic conception of temporal becoming. Furthermore, the paper examines the Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker model, the Hawking–Penrose singularity theorems, and the Borde–Guth–Vilenkin theorem, assessing their implications for past completeness. While certain speculative models attempt to avoid a temporal boundary, they remain mathematically constrained and philosophically contentious. The study concludes that both metaphysical reasoning and contemporary cosmology provide convergent support for the thesis that the cosmos is temporally finite and had a definite beginning.

Abstract

The concept of social harmony in South Asian political thought has been understood either as sociological stability or as an administrative consequence of state power, thus missing its ethical-political aspects. In this article, this paper explores the historical roots of social harmony by looking at the connexion between the traditions of pre-colonial resistance in North India and Gandhian moral politics. This research seeks to show that Gandhian nonviolent politics did not represent a complete break with the preceding political practises but rather a selective ethical reworking of already existing traditions of resistance and coexistence. The paper utilises a qualitative, interpretive, and genealogical research design, examining historical work about peasant mobilisations, stories of Rajput resistance, and shrine-based solidarities, Gandhian texts, and the contemporary theory of politics. The results indicate that pre-colonial resistance tended to be conducted under ethical guidelines that governed the conflict by restraint, negotiation and morality instead of open violence. Colonial rule interfered with these moral frameworks by remaking social difference in terms of bureaucratic categorization and formulating resistance as lawlessness. In this respect, Gandhian politics changed the previous traditions of moral restraint into disciplined nonviolence, self-suffering and interfaith coexistence. This paper contends that social harmony must be viewed as a political morality that has been formed through historically based practises of ethical resistance rather than the absence of conflict.
