Abstract

 The human quest for knowledge is not a mere quest for information that may probably be true, but an anxious quest for certainty. What then, does it mean to know? Is knowledge possible? What are the sources of our knowledge? This paper deals with some of these recurring epistemological questions and, more precisely, the question: Is there a reliable way of knowing? To claim to know requires that the object of our knowledge is not only true but also that the source from which such a knowledge claim originates is at least reasonably reliable. Therefore, in our response to the question of the possibility of a reliable way to knowledge, we argued that it would be reasonable to think of the reliability of our sources of knowledge not in absolute terms, but comparatively and depending on the context of a given claim to knowledge, because certain sources or kinds of knowledge, if subjected to critical analysis, may simply be more reliable than others. Thus, in light of the numerous challenges associated with certain sources or kinds of knowledge, the virtue of epistemic humility demands that we acknowledge that no single source or kind of knowledge is devoid of challenges that come in the way of its reliability. This work concludes that there is no reliable way to know. Outside of that context, each of our sources of knowledge falls short of being reliable and is capable of misleading us in our quest for knowledge.

Abstract

The current state of affairs in Nigeria is the reality of the state of nature portrayed by social contract philosophers. The Nigerian state has failed to provide security for lives and property. The basic necessities of life are luxuries in Nigeria. The legislators enact selfish laws while the judiciary is being emasculated by the mighty and the executive formulates and implements self-serving policies. The government has become of men rather than of laws. This is due to the failure of leadership, which is predicated on the quality of the rulers, most of whose level of education cannot afford them the acumen for statecraft. The matrices of the problem are: colonist influence; manipulations by the cult of the uneducated; and the political aloofness of educated Nigerians. Plato’s political ideology for an ideal state remains a classic reference for many generations after his death. In the instant case, his theme on the qualifications of the philosopher rulers (guardians) after rigorous educational training could serve as a paradigm for Nigeria. Therefore, the work recommends that the minimum educational qualifications for Nigerian rulers be reviewed upward to a university degree, which not only equates with the rigorous educational training for the guardians in Plato’s ideal state but also sufficient to broaden the horizons of the rulers to comprehend, analyse and reach decisions on complex issues. Thus, ss. 131 (d), 177 (c) of the CFRN 1999 (as amended) should be amended. Finally, educated citizens should be involved in the political affairs of Nigeria in order to fill the quality gap in the quality of rulers. Or else there would always be square pegs in round roles and the ship of state would wreck.

Abstract

The paper, titled "The Need for Christian-Muslim Dialogue in Nigeria," is motivated by the religious crises that exist between Christians and Muslims, resulting in the loss of lives and property worth billions of naira for decades. Most recently, the northern parts of the country have experienced so many crises between Christians and Muslims. Therefore, there is a call for dialogue between these religions. The method adopted to gather and analyze the data in this research is the quantitative method, which is basically works written by scholars found in books, journals, and internet sources, and the researchers’ experiences. The study, which is anchored on the Christian-Muslim dialogue in Nigeria, discovered the associated challenges to the peaceful co-existence of Christians. The paper discovered that Christian-Muslim dialogue will lead to peaceful co-existence, interreligious and social harmony, interfaith unity, and religious unification, etc. One of the recommendations made in this paper is that Christians and Muslims should not ignore Biblical and Quranic teachings that form the ethics of their religions. Secondly, Christian-Muslim dialogue is the bane of understanding and peaceful co-existence in Nigerian society.

Abstract

Any study of the spread of Christian churches in the Lower Cross River Region would indicate that there has been a gradual push towards Pentecostalism and Evangelical Christianity. A number of factors are responsible for this. The Reformation, which began in Germany between 1517 and 1600 and spread to the rest of the world, was a shift from traditional Christian doctrine and practices. Through deep study of the Bible, Luther advocated the end of a number of ancient Christian practices like penance on the basis that vital parts of scripture were being ignored. The information was hinged on the revelation from Habakkuk 2 vs. 4 that the just shall live by faith. It has, however, been observed that a number of churches that emerged from the reformation, like the Lutheran, Methodist, Apostolic, Presbyterian, and Assemblies of God, have all gravitated steeply towards traditional Catholic practices. This has led to a discourse in Christian circles, with the argument being that the old way could be better. Preachers of Pentecostalism have often been referred to as “Pente-rascals,” indicating that they have used the Pentecostal movement as an excuse for rascality. Evidence abounds to support this assertion, ranging from diversion of church funds, outright embezzlement of church funds, seduction by the clergy, false doctrine, and an opulent lifestyle. These practices have become common place in Pentecostal circles to the extent that a number of the uninformed see Christian ministry as a profession for lazy people who do not want to work. The flamboyant lifestyles of ministers of the gospel, their unguarded utterances, and tendency to manipulate and extort, which is in stark contrast to the gospel which Jesus preached, lends credence to this. Hence, this tends to support the argument that the push towards Pentecostalism is driven by a desire for freedom and liberty. These are the issues that this article will seek to address. The article will make use of primary and secondary sources.

Abstract

Creative literature is a site for possibilities and imagining of society through the portrayal of realities. This study through the application of feminism examines role reversal in Adichie’s The Visit. It further accounts for the emergence of the househusband which many creative writers and scholars have failed to account for. This study observes that sex and its function in African literature are related to gender and it is performative. This study claims that matriarchy is as oppressive as patriarchy and that economic privileges and social mobility are tools for the subjugation of sexes in marriage. This study concludes that for the first time, there is a deliberate depiction of the power of the woman.
