Abstract

Muslim organizations in Yorubaland consist of the ones that were formed before, during and after the colonial era. They were formed in emulation of the practice of the formation of the organizations before the advent of Islam in the study area. The major aims and objectives of the formation of the organizations were unity and to speak with one voice on Islamic affairs. The paper examines age grade and guild. Most of the early Muslim Organizations bore Yoruba names and were the precursors to other Muslim Organizations that emerged later. It discusses the League of Imams and Alfas, and the Ansar-Ud-Deen Society. It also discusses the advantages of Muslim organizations to include the formation of a group of Muslims of like minds as a single body and construction of different structures for the benefits of members. Its disadvantages consist lack of proper accountability of the leaders and mixture of non-Islamic cultures and civilization to Islam. Findings reveal that fighting for supremacy, political appointments and acquisition of national cake between the League of Imams and Alfas, and Ansar-Ud-Deen Society, especially in Ekiti State, Nigeria. The paper concludes by stating that most of the Muslims of Yorubaland now belong to one Muslim organization or more.

Abstract

Women held visible, significant roles in the New Testament church, despite operating within a patriarchal culture that restricted female public and religious participation. Jesus affirmed women as disciples, valued their theological insight, and appointed them as key resurrection witnesses. Early church figures like Phoebe, Priscilla, Lydia, and Junia contributed to teaching, hospitality, financial support, and apostolic work. Yet contemporary debates persist between complementarian and egalitarian views on women in ministry. This study examines the biblical portrayal of women in ministry and its implications for church practice today. The research adopts a qualitative method involving grammatical-historical and lexical exegesis of key New Testament texts and contested ministry terms (diakonos, prostatis, apostolos, kephalē, authentein), a historical survey of early Christian practice from the patristic through the modern period, and theological reflection on unity and equality in Christ through Galatians 3:28 and the pneumatological framework of 1 Corinthians 12 and Acts 2:17. Findings indicate that women were not only participants but also influential leaders in the early church, and that many present day restrictions are more culturally conditioned than biblically mandated. The study concludes that faithful contemporary ministry should affirm the New Testament principle of equality in Christ while discerning cultural expressions responsibly. It recommends that churches intentionally recognize spiritual gifts in women, provide structured leadership development, and foster collaborative ministry models where men and women serve together in advancing the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Abstract

Religion has historically functioned as a moral, spiritual, and communal institution in Aniocha South, Delta State, Nigeria. Traditional religious practices, particularly sacrifice, served as sacred mechanisms for maintaining harmony among humanity, the ancestors, and the divine realm. However, contemporary socio-economic realities, globalization, and the proliferation of charismatic religious movements have contributed to the commodification of religion, wherein sacred beliefs, rituals, and symbols are transformed into marketable products and services. This study examines the phenomenon of religious commodification in Aniocha South and its implications for sacrificial practices, spiritual authority, and communal morality. The study adopts a qualitative, library-based research design, drawing on documentary and textual analysis of secondary theological, anthropological, and sociological sources alongside biblical texts, interpreted through a hermeneutical and thematic method. Using theological, anthropological, and ethical approaches, the paper argues that the commercialization of religion has facilitated the abuse of sacrifice and enabled exploitative practices by fraudulent spiritual leaders. The study further contends that religious commodification undermines both indigenous ethical traditions and biblical teachings on sacrifice, worship, and leadership. It concludes by advocating for a contextual theological reformation grounded in ethical accountability, theological literacy, and communal responsibility. In doing so, the study addresses a gap in existing scholarship, which has largely examined religious commodification within broader African contexts without adequately accounting for how local cultural realities in Aniocha South shape and sustain its commodified forms.
