Africanising social science research methodology for development: Reflections and strategies
The paper interrogates the imperative of the so-called unique African indigenous research methodology in the social sciences. It thus examines the justification or motives for such a unique methodological approach and its relevance especially with reference to the development challenges of the continent. Basically, the quest for a peculiar or unique African research methodology has been largely fuelled by the increasing consensus in the extant li…

Beyond the conflict: Youth militants, amnesty, and challenges of post-conflict life in the oil-rich Niger Delta of Nigeria
Beyond the debate: Decolonisation, decoloniality and the reframing of development in Africa
The paper argues that the current quest for decolonisation and decoloniality struggles are primarily embodiments of disenchantment with the development doldrums in the continent after decades of political independence. While both decolonisation and decoloniality sound like intellectual pursuits concerned with knowledge production, they are in essence efforts towards recasting and rebooting development in the continent. Despite ingrained differenc…
The Power of Resilience: Local Institutions, Local Experience, and Adaptation to Climate Change in Nigeria
This study uses evidence from three rural agricultural communities in Nigeria to examine the role and relevance of local institutions and knowledge with regard to climate change adaptation. It argues that the formal climate change response framework has failed to incorporate local institutions as critical components of adaptation strategies, even though local institutions and people have age-old niches and decades of experience in confronting adv…
Beyond the Narratives of Decolonization: Re-situating Sociological Knowledge within the Context of Development in South Africa
This paper engages with the recent discourse on decolonization of knowledge in South Africa from a sociological perspective. It interrogates the position and relevance of both sociology and sociologists to the development aspirations of South Africa. Its basic assumption is that sociology as a discipline is invaluable to the current needs for social reformation and reconstruction in South Africa. While the relevance of sociology as a discipline c…
Something Mightier: Marginalization, Occult Imaginations and the Youth Conflict in the Oil-Rich Niger Delta
This contribution examines the role of occult imaginations in the struggle against perceived socio-economic marginalization by youth militias from the Ijaw ethnic group in the oil-rich Niger Delta region of Nigeria. It argues that the asymmetric power between the federal government/transnational oil corporations (TNOCs) and the militias may have privileged the invocation of the supernatural as a critical agency of strength and courage by the yout…

Globalisation and Labour Utilisation in Nigeria: Evidence from the Construction Industry
This study examines the influence of globalisation on labour utilisation in Ni- geria using the construction industry as a case study. It reveals that the era of globalisation has given rise to profound changes in the way labour is utilised, specifically in terms of employment patterns as well as the related issues of earnings, job security, unionisation etc. In effect, the way the worker is used by the firms in the industry is determined solely …

Oil Minorities and the Politics of Resource Control in Nigeria: DOI: 10.4314/ad.v30i4.22241
The paper examines the contentious nature of resource control and distribution in Nigeria. It avers that resource control has been a big problem confronting the Nigerian state from inception. This fact has not been helped by the heterogene ous nature of Nigeria, the weak capacity of the Nigerian state, the politics of resource allocation and the primordial bend of leadership. Therefore, the con testations over resources have been heightened in re…
Child Labour in the Context of Globalisation in Nigeria
The paper argues that the incidence of child labour in Nigeria has been heightened by globalisation, particularly the economic rationalism underlying it. Child labour is now a feature of urban dwelling in Nigeria where the sight of youngsters and children engaged in various forms of labour is quite common. Globalisation in this context is seen as that process of intense and in-depth international interaction, especially in economic matters, among…

The military, ethnicity and democracy in Nigeria
This paper examines the military, ethnicity and democracy within the context of Nigeria's historical and sociopolitical reality.. Nigeria's inability to foster a sustainable democratic tradition has negative consequences for the country and at present, it is engaged in the fourth attempt at democracy. The quest for democracy and therefore development in Nigeria has been hindered by the disruptive influences of ethnicity and militarism. This paper…
Ethnic Conflict and Democracy in Nigeria: The Marginalisation Question
This paper examines the issue of ethnic conflicts and their implications for democracy in Nigeria. Ethnic conflict and distrust is identified as the bane of former democratic experiments in Nigeria. Moreover, since the late 1980s, ethnicity in Nigeria has assumed disturbing new dimensions. The most crucial of these are the issues of marginalization and agitations by ethnic minorities. Marginalization breeds suspicion, distrust, heightens ethnic t…
