Abstract

This study examines the role of religion and politics in Nigeria's nation-building process since independence in 1960. It reveals that both religious and political institutions have contributed significantly to Nigeria's nation-building narratives, with effects that have been both positive and negative on the desired outcome of national integration. The study clarifies key concepts, including religion, politics, and nation, while examining the process of nation-building and how religious and political institutions have influenced it in Nigeria. The research employed both primary and secondary data collection methods, utilising a multidisciplinary approach. The study posits that since religion and politics are often described as the "twin towers of identity," which can either provide a strong foundation or, if mismanaged, create deep structural cracks, ensuring they serve rather than subvert the nation-building process requires a shift from identity-based politics to issue-based governance.

Abstract

In El Saadawi’s Woman at Point Zero an Diome’s Les Veilleurs de Sangomar, silence is not emptiness but eloquence; a language of survival born in the shadows of patriarchal, political, and linguistic confinement. Drawing on feminist postcolonial theory and Foucault’s concept of discourse, this study examines how both writers construct silence as a site of resistance and agency. Using a qualitative textual analysis, the paper investigates how the protagonists’ constrained voices expose deeper systems of domination that dictate who may speak and who must remain unheard. Silence, in these narratives, transcends its traditional perception as absence; it becomes a charged form of testimony, memory, and defiance. Through strategies such as code-switching, fragmented narration, and the reactivation of oral traditions, El Saadawi and Diome transform linguistic confinement into creative rebellion. Situated within the politics of gender and language, the study argues that both authors expand the boundaries of expression by transforming silence into discourse. Ultimately, the paper contends that these works illuminate the intricate ties between language, power, and identity, where silence becomes not the end of speech, but its most radical form of expression.

Abstract

This research investigated the impact of tax morale, perceived fairness, and trust in government on tax compliance among Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Ilala District, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, with a specific focus on the Kariakoo commercial area. Based on the Slippery-Slope Framework (SSF), which looks at how trust and power affect how taxpayers act, the study used a quantitative research design. Structured questionnaires were used to get information from owners and managers of small and medium-sized businesses. Before analysis, the data were checked for linearity, normality, multicollinearity, and homoscedasticity to make sure that the assumptions of multiple regression were met. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to examine the strength, direction, and significance of the relationships between the behavioral drivers and tax compliance.  The findings revealed that perceived fairness, tax morale, and trust in government all exert positive and significant effects on tax compliance, with perceived fairness identified as the most robust predictor. The overall model exhibited significant explanatory power, underscoring the essential influence of behavioral factors in promoting voluntary compliance among SMEs. These results confirm the SSF by demonstrating that sustainable tax compliance is influenced not only by enforcement mechanisms but also by psychological and ethical factors, such as fairness, trust, and moral obligation. The study enhances comprehension of SME tax behavior within a Tanzanian context, highlighting the significance of incorporating behavioral insights into tax compliance strategies. Keywords: tax morale; perceived fairness; trust in government; tax compliance

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between customary inheritance practices and the economic vulnerability of widows in rural communities of Yakurr Local Government Area, Cross River State, Nigeria. Despite constitutional guarantees and international human rights commitments affirming women's equal rights to inherit property, widows in these communities experience systematic dispossession following their husbands' deaths. Employing a qualitative case study design, the research draws on in-depth interviews with thirty widows, focus group discussions with community members, and key informant interviews with traditional rulers, women leaders, and paralegal workers. The study is theoretically grounded in feminist legal theory, the capability approach, and legal pluralism. Findings reveal that inheritance practices in Yakurr operate through patrilineal principles that classify widows as outsiders to their husbands' lineages, rendering them ineligible to inherit land, homes, or productive assets. These practices create severe economic vulnerability manifested in loss of housing, exclusion from agricultural land, depletion of household assets, and increased dependence on extended family networks. The study identifies variations in widows' experiences based on factors including presence of adult sons, duration of marriage, personal agency, and access to external support. Widows navigate these constraints through strategies including appeals to traditional authorities, reliance on children, engagement in precarious livelihoods, and in rare cases, pursuit of statutory legal remedies. The study concludes that addressing widows' economic vulnerability requires interventions that engage with customary institutions while promoting incremental reform, strengthening paralegal support, and building community awareness of women's rights.
