Ogionwo, Theresa. "Social Problems and the Rise of Terrorism in Nigeria : Implications for International Social Work practice." Thesis, Högskolan i Gävle, Avdelningen för socialt arbete och psykologi, 2016. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hig:diva-21093.
Full textAbstract:
This study attempts to explore the perceptions of victims of terrorism, and staff of NGOs with relevant experience of terrorism, based on the premise that social problems have contributed to the growth of terrorism in Nigeria; which in turn has created more social problems. This study posits that International social work can be used to manage and proffer solutions to these social problems in Nigeria. International social work refers to social work practice that applies international knowledge and practice and is not limited to one country. This study used qualitative methods - seven semi-structured interviews to collect data. The General systems theory served as the theoretical base for the analysis of the data. The findings indicated that social problems could be attributed to the rise in terrorism, and that there was an urgent need for International social workers and their competencies in combating the causes of terrorism and its disastrous effects.

Full textAbstract:
This exploratory study of child and youth care services in Nigeria first examines theoretical concepts associated with the causation of youth problems in developed countries with particular reference to Britain and North America. From an historical and comparative perspective, the application and limitations of Western theories of delinquency causation in developing countries are analysed. An historical analysis of traditional Nigerian culture serves to highlight the problems associated with socio-economic change and the impact of change on traditional child and youth care practices. The impact of urban development on migrant youths is then analysed to establish the theoretical relationship between urbanisation and delinquency. Traditional roles maintained in extended families and traditional patterns of child and youth care practices are analysed to Identify the relationship between family disorganisation and delinquent behaviour among contemporary Nigerian young people. Family structure is identified as a core variable in explaining differences between rural and urban delinquency. Two case studies are presented to illuminate the degree of delinquent behaviour found amongst children and young people from disorganised families and to highlight differences between delinquency found in an urban area and a rural culture. Religious differences are identified as central to sequences in the development and definition of delinquency in the two major cultures in Nigeria. A social policy ideal, based on the notion of an integrated "continuum of care" for children and families, is used to analyse and evaluate child welfare services found in Nigeria at the present time. Prospects for the future development of services are also considered.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to understand to what extent political corruption affects social welfare in Nigeria using a qualitative case study design. This thesis argues that political corruption leads to a concentration of wealth among a minority of elite government officials, resulting in extensive deficiency of social welfare. In addition, political corruption has secondary and tertiary effects throughout society that further exacerbate social welfare conditions. For this study, social welfare is measured by a comprehensive range of social indicators including but not limited to: level of poverty, income inequality, level of infrastructure, and health. Political corruption can only be measured by the sole available gauge of corruption to date: Transparency International's Corruption Perceptions Index. Research limitations regarding the conceptualization of corruption as well as complexities in defining and measuring social welfare are also addressed. This study concludes that political corruption is a significant factor contributing to poor social welfare in Nigeria, resulting in nothing short of a protracted human tragedy.ID: 030422825; System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader.; Mode of access: World Wide Web.; Thesis (M.A.)--University of Central Florida, 2011.; Includes bibliographical references (p. 86-91).

Ndubueze, Okechukwu Joseph. "Urban housing affordability and housing policy dilemmas in Nigeria." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2009. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/298/.
Full textAbstract:
Given the increasing importance of affordability in housing policy reform debates, this study develops a new composite approach to measuring housing affordability and employs it to examine the nature of urban housing affordability in Nigeria. The data used in this study are based on the Nigerian Living Standards Survey 2003-2004. The aggregate housing affordability model developed here measures housing affordability problems more accurately and classifies the housing affordability status of households more appropriately than the conventional affordability models. Findings show very high levels of housing affordability problems in Nigeria with about 3 out of every 5 urban households experiencing such difficulties. There are also significant housing affordability differences between socio-economic groups, housing tenure groups and states in Nigeria. The current national housing policy that de-emphasises government involvement in housing provision does not allow the country’s full potential for tackling its serious affordability problems to be realised and, hence, the laudable ‘housing for all’ goal of the policy has remained elusive. Nigerian socio-economic realities demand far more vigorous government involvement in housing development, working with a more committed private sector, energised civil societies and empowered communities to tackle the enormous housing problems of the country

Shochat, Sharon. "Oil and women's political participation : a sub-national assessment of the role of protests and NGOs in Nigeria." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2014. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/1029/.
Full textAbstract:
The resource curse literature, which links natural resource abundance with negative political and economic outcomes, is largely based on large-N cross-national studies. This thesis examines the effects of oil production on women’s political participation at the sub-national level, comparing the 36 states in the Nigerian federation, of which some are oil-producing. Shedding new light on the negative effects of oil production at the local and community level, and exploring the gender-related dimensions of the resource curse, I argue that the effect of oil varies across different forms of political activity: while oil production may have a negative impact on women’s legislative participation, it can also have a positive impact on non-formal types of political participation, specifically protest and NGO activity. I further suggest that the underlying trigger for both of these effects is oil’s impact on women’s work, which is manifested differently at national and local levels. The analysis is based on a mixed-methods approach that combines quantitative and qualitative tools, including original datasets on oil production and legislative participation, women’s protests, and women-led NGOs across Nigeria’s states. The combination of evidence offers a wide-ranging repertoire of the impact of oil on women. Drawing on historical evidence and women’s testimonies, this thesis suggests that oil production has negatively affected women’s labour force participation in Nigeria, while women’s work in oil-producing states has been further diminished due to environmental degradation and regional militarisation. The extremely low levels of female legislative participation in Nigeria at both the national and state levels are linked with the negative impact of oil on women’s work. Analysing a dataset of press reports and a directory of Nigerian NGOs to compare oil and non-oil producing states in the Nigerian federation, this thesis finds strong evidence for the impact of oil on women’s non-formal political participation at the local level, in oil-producing states. Thus, evidence from Nigeria suggests that oil production may have a dual effect on women’s political participation – undermining formal participation while increasing non-formal participation,a finding that adds to our understanding of the resource curse, women’s political participation, and the link between the two.

Halliru, Samir. "An investigation of lifelong learning : the policy context and the stories, pedagogies and transformational experience of young adults (a case study) in Nigeria." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2018. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/30961/.
Full textAbstract:
Nigeria is beset with many educational, economic and social challenges, including poverty, unemployment, gender inequality, lack of skills and poor access to education, especially among young people. Lifelong learning is widely recognised as a means of addressing social injustices and economic instability in the 21st century. Although there has been much public discourse on lifelong learning (LLL) in Nigeria, the subject is under-researched. This study examines LLL policies and the practices that influence young adult engagement in lifelong learning, the pedagogies that influence the development of LLL skills, as well as the impact of lifelong learning on the transformation of young adults, and their communities in Nigeria. This study adopted a quasi-longitudinal case study that involved two methods of data collection: document analysis and semi-structured interviews, underpinned by a social constructivist perspective. The study involved analysis of three national policy documents in Nigeria: The National Policy on Education (2013); Nigeria-UNESCO: Revitalizing Adult and Youth Literacy (RAYL) (2012); and the National Universities Commission (NUC) Benchmark Minimum Academic Standards (BMAS) (2011). Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 40 participants: national level policymakers (n=4); students (n=16), graduates (n=12), instructors (n=5), and management level officials (n=3) drawn from one institute (YCV) in Katsina State, Nigeria. The YCV is an LLL initiative that attempts to address social injustices and develop individuals’ lifelong learning skills for personal and economic growth. The YCV is a successful adult education initiative that empowers distressed young adults in Nigeria. While in Nigeria the predominant goal of LLL are social justice and economic growth this research shows that lifelong learning is difficult to implement in Nigeria. The triggers for participation in LLL are life transitions such as divorce, examination failures and few opportunities to find employment which demoralise young adults, as well as a need to update knowledge and provide community services. The findings suggest that pedagogy of practice informed by critical pedagogy promotes lifelong learning skills, and that the principles of critical pedagogy can transform graduates into becoming economically and socially active individuals within a very challenging economic, political and social context. The study contributes to the existing literature about the potential of LLL based on critical pedagogy to offer transformational experiences to young adults/adults. These include economic and social transformation beyond self-transformation to promotion of peace building, societal cohesion, social security and community wellbeing; a transition from ‘learning to earning; and a way to rebuild lives after divorce, particularly for women. The study concluded that the challenges to implementing lifelong learning in Nigeria are not only cultural or peoples’ attitude to learning but structural and institutional. The study recommends that the implementation of LLL should take into account local knowledge and structures based on critical pedagogy to address internal challenges rather than being guided by internationally agreed development targets.

Full textAbstract:
One purpose of this study was to identify the social adjustment problems experienced by Nigerian students in land-grant universities in the United States. A second purpose was to predict the severity of these problems with age, sex, marital status, English language proficiency, ownership of transportation, academic status, previous international experience, duration of stay in the United States, and the source of financial support.
A questionnaire of 28 items was sent to a sample of 500 Nigerian students in land-grant universities in the United States. Out of these 500, a usable return of 337 (67.4%) was realized. A factor analysis was applied to these 26 items, 8nd six factors were extracted (feelings of discrimination, feelings of belonging, establishing relationships, feelings of adequacy, feelings of loneliness, and absence of home news). The mean, standard deviation, and rank for each item were calculated. In addition regression equations were calculated in studying the relationship between the severity of the problems and students' demographic descriptions.
Major findings were:
1. Out of the 28 problems identified in the questionnaire, there were seventeen problems which elicited high concern and eleven areas which elicited low concern.
2. Students with less English language proficiency, with no transportation, with longer duration of stay in the United States, and undergraduates tended to identify discrimination as a greater problem.
3. Those with less English language proficiency, those with no transportation, females, and those that are married or single living without a spouse or intimate friend tended to identify feelings of belonging as a greater problem.
4. Students with less English language proficiency, with no transportation, females, self-supported students, those with longer duration of stay in the United States, and undergraduates tended to identify feelings of adequacy as a greater problem.
5. Students with less English language proficiency, with no transportation, with longer duration of stay in the United States, younger, and self-supported students tended to identify establishing relationships as a greater problem.
6. The younger, undergraduates, females, and married or single students living without a spouse or intimate friend tended to identify feelings of loneliness as a greater problem.
7. The older, self-supported students, undergraduates, and those with longer duration of stay in the United States tended to identify absence of news from home as a greater problem.Ed. D.

Full textAbstract:
High emigration countries tell a confusing story of how migration cycles can contribute to the sustainable economic development of some poor countries in some ways but hamper it in others. A number of social, economic and political factors – on local, national and global levels – interact to influence success, or lack thereof, in activating diasporas to contribute to the development of their home countries. Various actors – including states, civil society, and minority groups – within the 'transnational social space' impact on migrants' capacity to send 'social remittances' and engage with transnational processes. This study looks at a particular cadre of highly skilled migrants – Nigerian doctors working in the NHS in England – as a lens through which to explore these broader processes. Africa has: 3% of the world's health-workers; 11% of the global population; 24% of the global burden of disease. Yet 28% of sub-Saharan African doctors have left the continent to practice medicine in a handful of OECD countries, with enormous social and economic costs to sending countries. The NHS is highly dependent on overseas doctors – 28% are trained overseas, and 75% of these are from low income countries. Yet there is a long history of discriminatory practice towards overseas doctors in the NHS. Overseas doctors tend to be over-represented in lower grades, and under-represented in senior positions: the higher up the NHS hierarchy you look, the whiter the doctors become. This study traces the migratory trajectories of 32 Nigerian doctors who have studied and/or worked in England, their experiences of professional development within the NHS, and their involvement in community and transnational activities that induce (or hinder) the transfer of skills and resources. Their narratives are connected to broader aspects of immigration policy, structural discrimination, and transnational processes to explore how their place within the transnational social space impacts on their ability to obtain transferable knowledge, and how they use this knowledge to make a contribution to the development of the healthcare sector in Nigeria.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores and analyses the impact of ethno-religious conflicts in the city of Jos and other parts of the Middle Belt and Nigeria on gender relations and the lives of women. The thesis addresses the question of the impact of conflict on women beyond loss of life and property as seen in other literature. It shows how ongoing conflictual relations that are not always violent, but include aspects of political competition disadvantage women. The research locations covered by this research are urban areas. Data for this research was gathered through interviews and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) with 102 respondents, recruited through purposive sampling and willingness to participate in the interview. This thesis argues that the conflict dynamics affect the life chances of women on different levels because women are associated with the transcendence or transgression of group boundaries in their private life. The growing importance of group boundaries means that women’s life choices, such as marriage, are increasingly subject to public comment and criticism. Beyond the private, the growing importance of group boundaries makes it increasingly difficult for women to participate in typically female activities such as trading and selling in local markets. At the political level, the desire for ever smaller groups to be recognised works against the representation of women, who are seen as being much less capable than men of representing group interests. And within the public sector, too, the fallout from the crisis means that women here are also subject to increasing control and scrutiny.

Full textAbstract:
This study attempts to understand prostitution from their definition of the situation. It differs in its method from other studies on prostitution in that the investigation was based on the prostitutes' own perspectives as interpreted by the researcher using the interpretative epistemological tradition. A comparative analysis of prostitution in two economically stable African Countries, namely Nigeria and Botswana was made.
This study investigated society's perception of prostitutes and how it impacts upon their empowerment and emancipation as vulnerable members of the society and their participation in prevention and control of sexually transmitted infection including HIV/AIDS. Also the role of governments and individuals in creating and sustaining prostitution, an extensive insight to the modus operandi of prostitution and suggestions on how best to address prostitution in society, were discussed.
A triangulated methodology of three hundred and twenty five sexworkers (325) that includes a quantitative study of two hundred and five sex workers complimented with a qualitative study of one hundred and twenty sex workers participating in focus group discussion and case studies informed the study.
The findings of the research suggest that in the prostitutes' own definition of the situation; prostitutes contribute to the maintenance of societal equilibrium, the society creates and sustains prostitution. Economic need rather than lack of morals creates prostitutes and their situation of vulnerability as women is being reinforced by their status as prostitutes. Violence from partners that includes the police and the inability to reprimand their clients, are some hazards of prostitution and these result in their mobility and creates a challenge in adequately addressing the issue of prostitution in society, including their limited participation in the control of STDs.
Respondents in Botswana had a very good knowledge of STI's /HIV/AIDS and had no difficulties in going to hospital in the event of any STD's as compared with Nigerian respondents. The Nigerian respondents' indulged in self-medication with antibiotics and traditional herbs mixed in local gin before and after a sexual act, rather than go to hospitals.
The research findings should assist the government and international community's policies and programmes aimed at addressing prostitution and STDs/HIV/AIDS.Sociology

Alokwu, Cyprian Obiora. "The Anglican church, environment and poverty : constructing a Nigerian indigenous oikotheology." Thesis, 2009. http://hdl.handle.net/10413/424.
Full textAbstract:
This research proposes a Nigerian indigenous oikotheology to assist the Church of Nigeria
(Anglican Communion) better meet the challenges of the “double earth crisis” of poverty and
environmental degradation. The thesis begins by arguing that the crisis of poverty and the
crisis of ecology are inextricably linked. It does this by examining the situation globally, in
Africa and in Nigeria. It argues that for the church to be able to articulate the needed
theological paradigm in response to the “double earth crisis”, it is important that it is
adequately informed and equipped with environmental knowledge as well as the dynamics of
the global capitalist system and its hegemonic influences. This understanding is imperative
because these affect the environment and poverty nexus.
The thesis then examines the response of the Anglican Church to the environment and
poverty by situating this within the wider biblical, Christian and ecumenical history, and the
history of the Anglican Church itself. It then looks at the Anglican Church in Nigeria by
investigating the engagement of the three Anglican Dioceses in Anambra State (Nigeria) in
environment and poverty issues. It also investigates the understanding of the diocesan clergy
on these issues.
Findings from the research field work indicate that a majority of the clergy exhibited an
appreciable level of environmental awareness contrary to the hypothesis of the study.
However, this knowledge is a “paper knowledge” because of its heavy reliance on the
‘traditional’ view of understanding of the environment. Thus it creates a huge gap between
theoretical knowledge and practical commitment on the part of the dioceses. Collective will
and practical commitment which are vital for the church’s engagement in poverty and
environment issues are therefore lacking, and this leads to the church’s difficulty in
significantly living up to its environmental responsibility in practical ways.
In responding to the identified gap, the thesis examines ‘four generations’ of ecological
motifs in theology, namely, dominion, stewardship, eco-theology and oikotheology.
Oikotheology is an attempt to strengthen the weaknesses in the Christian ecological thoughts
(from dominion to ecotheology) and hence provide an eco-theological framework that will
engender commitment and action. However, because of the challenges with which
Oikotheology grapples (strong eschatological influences and inaccessibility to African
culture), it could not achieve this aim in the Nigerian setting. In a continued search for an
eco-theological framework that is more African, the study articulates the synthesis of
Oikotheology and African indigenous ecological ethics (a fifth generation) as a theological
framework which would uniquely appeal to African Christianity in its attempt to collaborate
with other disciplines in addressing the challenges of the environment and poverty in Africa
and the world.
Key to this synthesis is an examination of Nigerian Igbo proverbs-the egbe belu
precautionary principle and onye aghana nwa nne ya in particular, and the African
cosmology in general. This synthesis, considered in our opinion as Africa’s gift to humanity
and Christendom, will no doubt significantly contribute to the global discussion on the
current double earth crisis of environment and poverty.
The thesis concludes with a series of practical suggestions including among others the
formation of a National Commission on the environment by the Church of Nigeria (Anglican
Communion) as a way of fostering environmental education.Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2009.

Extreme poverty is the most devastating problem facing the human race, because it condemns nearly half of the world‘s population to hunger, disease and oppression-often with little or no hope for the future. The human beings made in the image of God are tragically prevented from realizing their God given potentials because of poverty. The reality of poverty can be overwhelming, but we must understand that this age old adversary can be defeated. According to the famous maxim ―If you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day, but if you teach a man how to fish, he will eat for a lifetime‖.
Therefore, the best way to fight poverty is to empower the people to shape their own future-to treat the causes of poverty and not just the symptoms (Stearns: 2010, 300)

The constant growth in population has made a significant impact on housing and accommodation in Lagos Nigeria and the shortage and the problem of distribution of housing for both homes and offices and urban planning, in general, has been a challenge in African cities in general. Housing a fast-developing city with a population in record speed increase like that constated in Lagos needs to be reviewed most especially with the fast rate of digital development and internet access. The United Nations (UN) has ranked Nigeria among the countries that will drive the growth of cities over the next four decades, posing challenging challenges in terms of job creation, energy consumption and infrastructure, as well as housing. This thesis aims to explore a maximum of data on housing, the development of the internet of things and how these perspectives envisaged by the government. One of the main sources of information of our century is big data, this element is extracted from the opinions of the inhabitants of Lagos on housing problems, their practice and information available in public services. The goal of using data is to improve practices, anticipate problems, etc. But to do this, it is necessary to digitally collect useful information to help public policies to the deployment of housing using these datasets.
The results of the thesis and the prospects for research or the deployment of applications, software or models could be useful to the Lagos government to manage the challenges of the future related to the expansion of the population, the disappearance of surfaces to urbanize and more global issues such as climate change and its effects on the population.O crescimento constante da população cosou um impacto significativo nas moradias e acomodações em Lagos, na Nigéria, e a escases e o problema da distribuição de moradias para residências e escritórios, e o planetamento urbano, em general, tem sido um desafio nas cidades africanas em general. Viver dentro de uma cidade em rápido desenvolvimento, com uma população em aumento recorde de velocidade como a constatada em Lagos, precisa ser revisado principalmente com a rápida taxa de desenvolvimento digital e acesso o Internet. As Nações Unidas (ONU) classificaram a Nigéria entre os país que impulsionarão o crescimento das cidades nas próximas quatro décadas, apresentando desafios desafiadores em termos de criação de empregos, consumo de energia e infraestrutura, além de moradias. Esta tese visa explorar o máximo de dados sobre habitação, o desenvolvimento da Internet das coisas e como essas perspectivas são vistas pelo governo. Uma das principais fontes de informação do nosso século é o big data, esse elemento é extraído das opiniões dos habitantes de Lagos sobre problemas habitacionais, sua prática e informações disponíveis nos serviços públicos. O objetivo do uso dos dados é melhorar práticas, antecipar problemas etc. Mas, para isso, é necessário coletar digitalmente informações úteis para ajudar políticas públicas a implantação de moradias usando os conjuntos de dados. Os resultados da tese e as perspectivas de pesquisa o implantação de aplicativos, software o modelos podem ser úteis ao governo de Lagos para gerenciar os desafios do futuro relacionados a expansão da população, ao desaparecimento de superfícies a serem urbanizadas e mais globais questões como as mudanças climáticas e seus efeitos sobre a população.
