“…6:10-18; 10:4). Writing from the perspective of religious socialization, Ottuh and Idjakpo (2022) assert that under a spiritual or moral analysis, corruption is a spiritual sin -it is the devil that sets it up in order to keep men under his control and to rebel against God, frustrate their fellow humans and eventually destroy them.…”

It is altruism that military dictatorship and leadership are synonymous with corruption. It is also obvious that participation of military in national leadership through coups is a practice that is not alien to the biblical era, the world, Africa and Nigeria in particular. Nigeria as a nation like other African countries has had its share of this ugly phenomenon in the past and presently harvesting the fruits thereof. The worst legacy left behind by the military leaderships in Nigeria was corruption. The military ruled Nigeria through coups persistently and its ranks and files have by all indications proved that they too, were not immune against the problem of corruption. Using the instance of coups in the Bible and other underlying moral principles, the paper examines the phenomena of coups and corruption in Nigeria and appraised same from a moral paradigm. The secondary sources of collecting data through scholarly literature on the subject are adopted to attain the objective of the research. The paper also highlights the positive and negative impacts of coups on the Nigerian nation. It argues that corruption is a by-product of past persistent coups in the Nigerian state, and advocates for a constitutional means such as democratic elections to effect a change of power to align with current global democratic trends and avoid corrupt practices. The paper recommends that the current practice of recycling politicians and public office holders who are the same military leaders in the past should be discouraged so that corruption can be minimized in the country.

“…One of the world's three main monotheistic faiths that is growing quickly and is built on its holy book is Islam. It is a natural outgrowth of both Judaism and Christianity, incorporating some of their principles while tempering or rejecting others (Ottuh & Idjakpo, 2022). In the 19th century, Islam was actively promoted by the Sokoto Caliphate, which was headed by Usman Dan Fodio and had its headquarters in Nigeria (Awoniyi, 2012).…”

“…According to Ottuh and Idjakpo (2022), despite the fact that Islamic means of propagation are often more aggressive and coercive, Nigerian Muslims are aware of the missionary orientation of Muslim migration, radicalism, revivalism, expansionism, and exclusivism. Thus, Muslims' attitudes and approaches to Islamic missions vary.…”

Nigeria has already experienced a lot of crises; therefore, it is obvious that it is unprepared for the havoc that Islamophobia can bring about as a result of ‘Procreative Jihad’ – a new missiological strategy in Islam. 'Procreative Jihad' is currently happening in Nigeria, where radical Muslims have started having sex with non-Muslim girls and women, abducting, impregnating, marrying, and forcing them to convert to Islam so that their offspring will inevitably grow up to be Muslims. This research provided a qualitative analysis of the ramifications of the Islamic missiological tactic known as ‘Procreative Jihad’ which aims to convert non-Islamic populations in Nigeria to Islam. The paper employed a critical literature review and phenomenological methods. The literature review was used to provide a historical overview of 'Procreative Jihad', while the phenomenological method was used to collect data for the study through oral interviews and observations. Using extant literature, oral interviews, and observations, the findings revealed that ‘procreative jihad’ is an affront to human dignity, a violation of non-Muslim women's human rights and freedom, undercuts Islam as a religion of peace and justice, and breeds Islamophobia. The study concludes that the mission or da'wah goal of Islam does not necessarily include the holy war of any form. As a result, Muslims should use all of Islam's holistic qualities, such as compassion, honesty, tolerance, humility, and decency, in spreading the religion in Nigeria and beyond.
