Quasilegality and migrant smuggling in Northern Niger
The challenge of youth unemployment in Nigeria
Nigeria is home to a significant and growing “youth” population, over a third of it below 24 years of age. The demographic potential for productivity and growth this group represents occurs alongside large-scale unemployment among young people of working age. The “unemployment crisis” has deep historical roots and exists within a wider context of poor governance, insecurity, conflict, and poverty. Policy norms and practices to address youth unemp…
Their fight was our fight”
Focusing on Obafemi Awolowo University, Ife (OAU) (formerly known as the University of Ife11 The university will be referred to as Ife in this article.) in Nigeria’s Western region in the 1970s and 1980s, this article explores the internationalist politics of both students and academic staff and how they influenced Nigeria’s international relations policies, particularly during the apartheid period in South Africa. This article is a critical stud…
Scarcity in the Study of Boko Haram in Nigeria
Since the national and subsequent international spotlight has been put on Boko Haram in 2009, the Nigerian sect has piqued the curiosity of the academic and non-academic worlds. The continuous stream of scholarly, media and general audience writings focusing on Boko Haram is testament to this. The skirmishes between Boko Haram fighters and the Nigerian security forces in north-eastern Nigeria in July 2009, leading to the extra-judicial killing of…

It is an urban ethnographic study of religions and religious co-existence in Lagos, a place that identifies as Africa’s most populous city, also as the commercial hub of Nigeria’s southwestern region (Yorubaland) and arguably the entire nation. Although works on religious pluralism within the context of the interactions among Christianity, Islam, and what, for the lack of a better phrase, is…
Opioid of the People
Cet article propose un examen approfondi du marché illicite du tramadol à Lagos. S'appuyant sur des entretiens avec des commerçants de ce médicament et des acteurs de son contrôle, il questionne les récits moraux que les agents de l'État et du marché adoptent pour légitimer leur travail. À travers le prisme de l'économie morale, nous montrons en quoi ces récits sont liés à des luttes de pouvoir plus larges au sein du marché pharmaceutique et entr…
Rationalising the appeal of the Boko Haram sect in Northern Nigeria before July 2009
In recent years, academic researchers and commentators have devoted a great deal of attention to the question of why some sections of the Muslim population in northern Nigeria sympathise with the Boko Haram sect. This article elaborates on original accounts of imprisoned Boko Haram members, former members of the sect, their relatives, and other categories of informants to draw out the dynamics which foregrounded the relative success of the Boko H…
