  • Gender Roles, Emotional Attachment and Culture Among Young Couples in Globalizing Nigeria

    Olayinka Akanle, Ibukun Ruth Isaiah-Ojo•ARTICLE•Youth and Globalization•2026

    Marriage is a major institution in Africa. While globalization continues to play key roles in marital relations among young people/youth, context of marriage and gender provides cultural avenues to examine the mutabilities and immutabilities of culture in the age of globalization. While works exist globally on the intersections of youth, love and emotions, very few studies exist on these issues in African societies where gender and culture play s…

  • International Migration and Support Systems of Left-Behind Spouses in Ibadan, Nigeria

    Abiodun Ojuri, Olayinka Akanle•ARTICLE•International Journal of African…•2025

    The migration of a spouse across international borders is a major cause of divorce and marital dissolution in Nigeria, especially in Ibadan, where a large number of spouses are left behind. Although the impact of remittances on left-behind spouses has been a major focus of existing studies on migration, support systems appear underrepresented, particularly within hybridised societies where the domains of the interplay between traditionality and m…

  • Context of Male Single Parenting in Nigeria

    Open Access•Olayinka Akanle, Fikayomi Ogundele•ARTICLE•Journal of Asian and African…•2025•Referências: 8

    Most studies have documented experiences of single parents focusing more predominantly on realities of females. This is especially so in studies on Africa where single parenting has been commonly narrated as core cluster of patriarchy and feminization of gender oppression. In this article, the authors contribute to knowledge by examining single parenting from experiences of men - male single parents in patriarchal context of Africa thereby nuanci…

  • Engaging Data Literacies in Displacement

    Open Access•Vicki Squire, Olayinka Akanle et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Humanitarian Affairs•2024

    Data-driven humanitarianism is changing the face of aid. More data potentially enables quicker and more efficient evidence-based responses to situations of conflict and disaster. Yet the proliferation of data also challenges traditional lines of accountability, exacerbates the drive toward extractive relations and processes while deepening communication barriers and asymmetric relations between humanitarians and affected communities. This article…

  • Men in Women Industrial Space

    Open Access•Adefolake Ademuson, Adefolake Olusola Ademuson et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Asian and African…•2024•Citada por: 1•Referências: 16

    A definitive element of labor market is gender-based occupational segregation. Most previous studies on the subject of gender and labor have concentrated on gender mainstreaming and glass ceiling in formal economy with little attention to gender and informal economy. Hence, there has been very little attention to men venturing into female areas of traditional informal economy of Africa. This article, therefore, contributes fresh insights and inte…

    This article explores Asalatu, a form of Islamic music among Yoruba Muslims in Nigeria, against the backdrop of globalization and the impact of Western music. The article points to observed changes in the music and musical possibilities within increasing secularization. Drawing on ethnographic data, the article illuminates tangential issues such as the use of the mother tongue for Islamic music as opposed to Arabic, and the introduction of dance …

    Olayinka Akanle•BOOK•Youth Exclusion and Empowerment…•2022

    The second of two volumes filling a gap in the literature in understanding and responding to this grand challenge, this edited collection focuses particularly on the impact and complex consequences of migration, youth experiences and the functioning of digital spaces, and the shaping of youth identity through exposure to both.

  • Sustainable development goals (SDGs) and remittances in Africa

    Open Access•Olayinka Akanle, Demilade Kayode et al.•ARTICLE•Cogent Social Sciences•2022

    Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are the most ambitious development frameworks to assist in driving inclusive development globally. This is particularly so relative to Africa. Several efforts have been made to achieve development in Africa but more efforts are needed to achieve desired results. Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) and Foreign Direct Investments (FDIs), which used to positively impact development on the continent, have been o…

  • Land grabbing and resistance of indigenous landowners in Ibadan, Nigeria

    Open Access•Henry Uche Obuene, Olayinka Akanle et al.•ARTICLE•International Sociology•2022•Citada por: 3•Referências: 21

    The focus of existing studies on land grabbing in Nigeria has been on acquisition by foreign investors for their socio-economic gain, usually supported by the national government. However, narratives on land grabbing by government through the Land Use Decree and the consequent resistance deployed by the indigenous landowners are scarce. The Accumulation by Dispossession theory and an exploratory design were combined with qualitative methods to ga…

  • Diaspora Networks and Investments in Nigeria

    Open Access•Olayinka Akanle, Damilola Olayinka Ola-Lawson•ARTICLE•Journal of Asian and African…•2022•Citada por: 1•Referências: 26

    Networks are important systems that impact multiple aspects of economic activities such as investments, businesses, innovation, and entrepreneurship skills. However, there is scant literature examining the crucial networks needed to inform diasporas' decisions and oversee businesses/investments in their countries of origin. Using social network theory, the primary data for this article were gathered using in-depth interviews from 2019 to 2020. Th…

  • Gender and fast food in Nigeria and South Africa

    Olayinka Akanle•ARTICLE•African Identities•2021•Citada por: 2•Referências: 32

    Food is not just a material entity in African contexts. Cultivation, production, preparation, distribution and consumption of food are laden with value, embedded with and significant in social–cultural relations. Hence, the nature and contexts of food determine and demonstrate important gender essence, realities and structures of societies. Unfortunately, food elements and trajectories are often taken for granted and not sufficiently studied even…

  • Farmers-Herders Conflicts and Development in Nigeria

    Olayinka Akanle•ARTICLE•The Nigerian Journal of Sociology…•2021

    The conflict between farmers and herders have constituted serious concerns and impediments to development in Nigeria. Development entails food security, of which dairy needs are integral. The global campaign for good agricultural practices (GAP) essentially focuses on the preservation of humans, animals and the general ecosystem, as the world continues to confront the depletion of the ozone layers. In Nigeria, the development concerns of farmers-…

    Open Access•Olayinka Akanle, Oa Fayehun et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Asian and African…•2021•Citada por: 6•Referências: 17

    Studies abound on international migration and remittances across the world and studies are particularly not lacking on the subject in Africa. There are however few studies on the moderating roles of information communication technology (ICT) and social media in the relationships among international migration, remittances and relationships in Sub-Saharan Africa. This article examines the dimension of ICT and social media in migration studies. This…

  • Mothers-in-Law or Monsters-in-Law

    Olayinka Akanle, Lilian F Ogunkan•ARTICLE•Comparative Sociology•2021•Citada por: 1•Referências: 31

    In the African kinship system, elders have significant roles. Especially within families, roles including care and socialization are established by cultural normativity. Since socialization processes are intergenerational, older generations inculcate these norms and the values of the society in the younger generation. This makes mothers-in-law relevant in families. The roles of mothers-in-law in younger families are widely acknowledged as key in …

  • Understanding the history, needs and experiences of looked after children with African heritage

    Open Access•Olayinka Akanle, Abiodun Ojuri et al.•ARTICLE•Adoption & Fostering•2020•Referências: 1

    Orphanages have traditionally played a key role in meeting the needs of abandoned and displaced children. This is still the case in many countries like Nigeria where they provide shelter for children of all ages presenting a variety of needs. For those defined as orphaned and vulnerable, there are few alternatives and no budgetary allocations for residential provision. In this situation, the management of orphanages has become a salient issue and…

  • Changing but Fragile

    Open Access•Olayinka Akanle, Uzoamaka Rebecca Nwaobiala•ARTICLE•Journal of Asian and African…•2020•Citada por: 15•Referências: 28

    Even though the phenomenon of female family support may not be entirely new in Africa, breadwinning is the primary role of men in most African societies. However, as more women get education and enter paid employment, and some men lose jobs, traditional breadwinning roles are challenged and, sometimes, inverted as growing numbers of women become family breadwinners. Female breadwinning may not be without implications for family stability, however…

    International migration is one of the most discussed and controversial subjects in policies, programs, and practices.

The objective ramifications of these issues, however, remain unclear in accounts, processes, and outcomes thereby leading to…

    As Africa's urban systems change and transform with more women becoming educated and getting work outside the home and more men are confronting unemployment and retrenchment, an emerging phenomenon has surfaced challenging common gender identities and roles in the context of families. Current livelihood realities reconstruct and renegotiate how household needs are met and who meets these needs, consequently questioning traditional patriarchal dic…

  • Ethnography of Kinship Constructions among International Returnees in Nigeria

    It is impossible to understand African lifeways without recourse to oral traditions because behaviors, orientations, and attitudes are succinctly codified, contextualized, and only fully explainable with reference to oral traditions, especially through the use of proverbs. Unfortunately, recent studies have not sufficiently utilized proverbs as analytical frameworks to explain African kinship. Thus, in this article we explore dynamics of kinship …

    In its modernization garb, development has come to mean the inculcation of foreign values resulting in the fundamental transformation of modernizing nations. Ironically, little attention is being drawn to the consequences of modernizing influences. This is the core of the article. Through qualitative research methodology consisting of in-depth interviews (IDIs), participant observation and informal interviews, the article examines the emergence a…

  • Peripheral scholarship and the context of foreign paid publishing in Nigeria

    Open Access•Ayokunle Olumuyiwa Omobowale, Olayinka Akanle et al.•ARTICLE•Current Sociology•2014•Citada por: 9•Referências: 43

    Lately, a phenomenal dimension of peripheral scholarship, compulsorily demanding the 'foreign', has evolved into the practice of paid publishing in 'foreign' journals among Nigerian academics. These 'foreign' journals afford speedy publishing at a fee with little or no peer review. This study is a descriptive research which collected qualitative data through 30 in-depth interviews conducted with academics in two federal universities in Nigeria. T…

    Professor Akiwowo propounded the Asuwada Theory of Sociation in the 1980s as a contextual episteme to explain African social experience. The theory particularly attempts an indigenous postulation to social interactions among Africans in general and the Yoruba in particular. Its concepts attempt to emphasise contextual values of social beings who would contribute to social survival and community integration and development. This theory postulates …

    International migrants’ remittances are among the most researched subjects in contemporary globalization scholarship and policy studies.

Many of the existing studies have, however, presented only the positive economic impacts of remittances on households, with very little attention being paid to the equa…

To this extent, everyone in Nigeria, whether educated or otherwise, knows something about corruption, can cite cases and can attempt some level of analysis. Ge…

Many of the experimented approaches are however poorly understood leading to ineffective programming. Among the strategies for development are cooperative societies. However, more scholarly works are needed to actually understand the development poten…

  • Peripheral scholarship and the context of foreign paid publishing in Nigeria

    Open Access•Ayokunle Olumuyiwa Omobowale, Olayinka Akanle et al.•ARTICLE•Current Sociology•2014•Citada por: 9•Referências: 43

    Lately, a phenomenal dimension of peripheral scholarship, compulsorily demanding the 'foreign', has evolved into the practice of paid publishing in 'foreign' journals among Nigerian academics. These 'foreign' journals afford speedy publishing at a fee with little or no peer review. This study is a descriptive research which collected qualitative data through 30 in-depth interviews conducted with academics in two federal universities in Nigeria. T…

  • Corruption and the Nigerian Development Quagmire

    Open Access•Olayinka Akanle, Jimi O Adesina•ARTICLE•Journal of Developing Societies•2015•Citada por: 1•Referências: 31

    One of the most difficult and dangerous issues in Nigeria is corruption. Corruption is so common in Nigeria that there can hardly be any new perspective and approach to it. In fact, corruption is so pervasive in the country that it would be nearly correct to opine that it is a way of life. To this extent, everyone in Nigeria, whether educated or otherwise, knows something about corruption, can cite cases and can attempt some level of analysis. Ge…

  • The existentialities of Ethiopian and Nigerian migrants in South Africa

    Olayinka Akanle, Abebe Ejigu Alemu et al.•ARTICLE•International Journal of African…•2016

    Many studies on international migrations have concentrated on South-North migrations, causes and consequences of such migrations, sending and receiving countries and characteristics of migrants’ interfaces. there is much less scholarly work on South-South migrations, and academic and policy works on wider Africans’ migrations into South Africa are particularly scarce. even among the very few existing studies on South-South migrations, very few ac…

  • European football clubs and football betting among the youths in Nigeria

    Olayinka Akanle, Kolade Taiwo Fageyinbo•ARTICLE•Soccer and Society•2016•Citada por: 4•Referências: 8

    European football clubs are very popular social realities in Nigeria. Their existence and activities shape social relations, process and outcomes of well-being as well as socio-economic and policy orthodoxies. Unfortunately, social trajectories of well-being, economic ramifications and policies remain poorly understood in Nigeria. What some people are aware of is the popularity of the clubs and not the intensification of associated implications a…

    Understanding development is a strategic issue in every human society. This is because central to humans is the need to develop, which is why societies over the ages have not only sought to develop, they have also attempted to understand what development is all about, how best to develop and what the outcomes of development should be. This is why scholars and nations have commonly categorized countries/societies as developed and developing/underd…

  • Asuwada Epistemology and Globalised Sociology

    Open Access•Ayokunle Olumuyiwa Omobowale, Olayinka Akanle•ARTICLE•Sociology•2017•Citada por: 7•Referências: 31

    Professor Akiwowo propounded the Asuwada Theory of Sociation in the 1980s as a contextual episteme to explain African social experience. The theory particularly attempts an indigenous postulation to social interactions among Africans in general and the Yoruba in particular. Its concepts attempt to emphasise contextual values of social beings who would contribute to social survival and community integration and development. This theory postulates …

  • International Migrants' Remittances and Kinship Networks in Nigeria

    Olayinka Akanle, Jimi O Adesina•ARTICLE•Journal of Anthropological Research•2017•Citada por: 5•Referências: 22

    International migrants’ remittances are among the most researched subjects in contemporary globalization scholarship and policy studies. Most studies have examined the impacts of remittances on households in developing countries, and the findings are often positive and optimistic. Many of the existing studies have, however, presented only the positive economic impacts of remittances on households, with very little attention being paid to the equa…

    Olayinka Akanle, Jimi O Adesina et al.•ARTICLE•African Studies•2017•Referências: 17

    The nexus of indigenous knowledge systems, medicine and disease conceptualisation remains a critical issue in having sustainable health globally. If knowledge about diseases is not objectively shared, sustainable global health may never be achieved. This is exacerbated by the political economy of South and West relations, which affect medical knowledge flows and acceptance. This article thereby investigates the knowledge gap ramifications of jedi…

    Open Access•Olayinka Akanle•ARTICLE•International Sociology•2018•Citada por: 4•Referências: 7

    International migration is one of the most discussed and controversial subjects in policies, programs, and practices. The discussions and controversies commonly revolve around issues of gains and/or otherwise of international migrations: to the world, to the sending and receiving countries, and to the migrants, for example. The objective ramifications of these issues, however, remain unclear in accounts, processes, and outcomes thereby leading to…

    As Africa's urban systems change and transform with more women becoming educated and getting work outside the home and more men are confronting unemployment and retrenchment, an emerging phenomenon has surfaced challenging common gender identities and roles in the context of families. Current livelihood realities reconstruct and renegotiate how household needs are met and who meets these needs, consequently questioning traditional patriarchal dic…

    International migration attracts global concern as international migration and its remittances are highly important mechanisms with profound implications for family, community, and national and international sustainability across borderlines.
