“…In yet another study, Danaan (2017) examines strategies employed by journalists in the appropriation of media logics in the conflict frame building process. Through objectivity, mediatization and news framing as the main models of the study, the author provides empirical evidence of the various methods used by the media in representing ethnic and religious identities in the conflict-based narratives, with particular focus on the conflict that took place in Jos found at the northern part of Nigeria in 2001, 2008 and 2010.…”

“…It has long been established that the Nigerian political experiment is characterized by the politicization of religion and the religionization of politics, and it is no longer new to find different political officeholders openly playing the religious sectarian card in campaigning for political power and canvassing for government support. According to Danaan (2020), religion has, over the decades, been used to polarise the people and perpetuate unhealthy political competition and rivalry. Religion has become so much a tool of political manipulation that it is hardly impossible for outrightly irreligious politicians not to pretend to be religious, especially when seeking political offices.…”

This study delves into the complex interplay of religion, politics, and power in Africa, focusing on the Nigerian context and drawing valuable lessons from the Sharīah Madīnah plural model. Through a multidisciplinary approach, including qualitative analysis, case studies, and comparative analysis, the research reveals that Nigeria's political landscape is deeply influenced by religious affiliations, primarily Islam and Christianity, which play pivotal roles in shaping political agendas and power dynamics. The findings underscore the importance of fostering religious tolerance and interfaith dialogue while promoting inclusive governance to navigate the challenges posed by religious diversity in Africa's political systems. Drawing inspiration from the Sharīah Madīnah model, this study advocates for nuanced approaches that respect religious pluralism while upholding democratic principles, offering valuable insights for a more harmonious coexistence in Africa's diverse religious and political milieu.

Impacts of Violent Conflicts on Resource Control and Sustainability

This chapter explores the media coverage of violent conflicts and climate change issues in Nigeria from the perspective of human rights journalism. Nigeria has had a chequered history of violent conflicts, especially since it achieved self-rule from Britain in 1960. These conflicts have been wide-ranging and cross-cutting (political, ethnic, religious, communal, among others). The Nigerian media have equally had a long history of the coverage of these violent eruptions across the country. However, the mainstream media's approach to the coverage of these issues have tended to be on the physical coverage of the conflicts to, almost, neglect of some of the underlying causative factors, such as climate change. The phenomenon of climate change globally is significant, especially in developing countries, such as Nigeria. In recent times, the threats that are posed by climate change have been enormous. Some communities across the country have been sacked by its devastations, especially from the norther corridors of the country. This has therefore necessitated the forced migration of some of these communities, especially the Fulani herdsmen and their cattle to other parts of the country for greener pasture. This situation always resulted in conflict, which is often violent. This chapter argues that, although the federal government of Nigeria through its Ministry of Environment have come out with programs and policies/initiatives aimed at combating the menace of this phenomenon, and the media, apart from the fact that they have not fully keyed into these programs to step them down for the audience, there is the urgent need for them to review their approaches toward the coverage of these conflicts. This chapter advocates a human-rights-journalism-based approach to the coverage of these conflicts because of its diagnostic approach, which gives a critical reflection of the experiences of the victims of human rights violations in all its ramifications.
