Dark figure: Rethinking the revival of masquerade performance in plural Nsukka-Igbo society, Southeast Nigeria
Lately, the revival of indigenous beliefs and practices has garnered increasing attention from scholars of African religion, policymakers, and administrators. Many of their works contextualized the imperative of this cultural reawakening in terms of cultural identities and in relation to decolonial constructs. This study specifically investigates the revival of the aspect of Oriokpa (masquerade) tradition and how the performance/practice impinges…
From insecurity to migration syndrome: Unveiling the dynamics of economic downturn on foreign direct investments in Nigeria
The Nigerian economy, previously recognized as one of the fastest-growing among developing nations, faced severe economic downturns twice from 2011 to 2023. Factors such as inconsistent macroeconomic policies, high inflation rates, volatile exchange rate regime, corruption, imbalance of payments disequilibrium, and security issues have been identified as contributors to this situation. This study investigates the correlation between the escalatin…
Kola nut ritual in modern Umunnachi community: An Appraisal
The Umunnachi elite’s transformation of the kola nut ritual, which is a key symbol of the community traditional worship, is one of the biggest abuses of the culture. The goal of its ancestors is no longer reflected in the rite. Despite these challenges, kola nut rules have survived in the face of social and cultural changes that have impacted the Umunnachi people. Also, in religious studies, the values of kola nut should be investigated to rectif…

Banditry and human security in Nigeria: Assessing the amnesty implementation in the North-West region
I am because you are: Traditional ruler-ship institutions and alternative dispute resolution in Africa
Post-colonial Africa has played host to different kinds of conflict throughout its chequered history. Unfortunately, the continent’s modern institutions of conflict resolution have failed to intercept most of the disputes, leading to renewed calls for traditional institutions to go into conflict mediation strategies. While many studies have interrogated the nexus between traditional institutions and conflict, few examined the institutional involv…
Unethical practices and the role of traditional ruler-ship institutions in modern conflict resolution in Tivland, Nigeria
In the past decade, there has been a surge in deadly internal conflicts in Nigeria. The state's failure to decisively address violent skirmishes through its modern conflict-resolution mechanisms has resuscitated the debate on the role of traditional rulers in conflict resolution. Although the relevance of traditional institutions in conflict contexts has been well acknowledged in many studies, their complicity in the onset and preponderance of co…
Blame-game politics: Re-evaluating incongruent leprosy and Covid-19 policies in the Old Testament and Nigerian societies
History is rife with political actors framing policies to absolve themselves from blame. Such policies seem integral to governance. Studies have shown how the outbreak of diseases triggers policy changes from different governments, especially during the present day coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. The ‘Old Testament (OT) leprosy’, particularly as found in Leviticus 13 and 14, prompted incongruent policies that occasioned the victimis…
