ينطلق البحث من الدقولة الدشهورة: "العدل أساس الدلك"، باعتبارىا قاعدة كلية تُعّبّ عن سنة إلذية في الاجتماع الإنساني؛ إذ لا تقوم دولة على الظلم وإن كانت مسلمة، ولا تسقط دولة عادلة وإن كانت غتَ مسلمة. أما ابن خلدون فقد نظر إلى العدل من زاوية عمرانية اقتصادية، ورأى أن الظلم يؤدي إلى فساد العمران لأنو يقتل روح الكسب والإنتاج ويهدم الثقة بتُ الحاكم وا﵀كوم،فهو يجعل العدالة أساس الازدىار الاقتصادي والاجتماعي، كما يجعل الظلم مقدمة حتمية لانهيار الدولة. وتكاملت رؤيتاهما في أن العدل ليس لررد فضيلة أخلاقية أو واجب ديتٍ، بل نظام اجتماعي رة واقتصادي وسياسي متكامل، تقوم عليو الحياة العامة وتُبتٌ بو الحضا .يتناول البحث دراسةً برليلية مقارنة لدفهوم العدل وأثره في استقرار الدول وقيام العمران من خلال رؤيتي شيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية وعبد الرحمن بن خلدون، بوصفهما من أبرز الدفكرين الذين تناولوا العلاقة بتُ العدالة والسلطة والعمران في الفكر الإسلامي. اعتمد البحث على الدنهج التحليلي الدقارن في تتبّع النصوص الأصلية لابن تيمية وابن خلدون، وبرليلها. وقد خلص البحث إلى أن العدل ىو الشرط الأول في استقرار الحكم واستمرار العمران، وأ ّن الظلم – في أي صوره – سب ٌب مباشر في فساد الأنظمة وزوال الدول. ويوصي البحث إلى ضرورة إعادة إحياء مفهوم العدل في الفكر والسياسة والاجتماع الدعاصر، بوصفو أساس التنمية والاستقرار، وليس لررد مبدأ خطابي أو شعار ديتٍ .
تحليل الادعاءات العقدية المعاصرة وتقسيمها من منظور الفقه الإسلامي ومقاصد الشريعة
This research deals with the study of doctrinal claims in terms of their concept and legal controls، and their analysis according to an approach that combines the principles of Islamic jurisprudence and the objectives of Sharia. It aims to explain the scientific foundations that jurists rely on in distinguishing between valid and invalid doctrinal claims، while revealing the impact of the scientific and social context on the emergence and spread of these claims. The research presents a systematic division of doctrinal obligations، in terms of their agreement with definitive or speculative texts، and in terms of their relationship to the foundations of faith or its branches، with an explanation of the jurisprudential rulings resulting from each section. It also discusses the controls for dealing with doctrinal disagreement in light of the objectives of Sharia، especially preserving religion، achieving the unity of the nation، and eliminating the causes of strife and conflict. The research highlights the role of the objectives of Sharia law in rationalizing judgment on doctrinal claims، so that consideration is not limited to the apparent meaning of the statement، but rather extends to its consequences and effects on the individual and society. He concludes that the Maqasid approach contributes to achieving a balance between protecting the doctrine from deviation، preserving the breadth of diligence، and controlling disagreement، in a way that achieves the goals of Sharia law in religious and social stability.
A GEOSPATIAL ANALYSIS OF CHIMAMANDA NGOZI ADICHIE‟S AMERICANAH
This article applies a geo-spatial analysis to Chimamanda Adichie’s Americanah and posits that historical memory is culpable in global relationships, especially where it involves blacks and the sites of their colonialisms. The novel charts a route of migration which traverses the Atlantic Ocean and has historical relevance and the potential to define black bodies within a global context. The methodology adopted was a systematic close reading where significant geographical sites were logged and their respective contextual data analysed to reveal their thematic relevance. Findings: the study, through the lens of Digital Geography, reveals a cartographic analysis of realities that are etched on the fabric of home within global consciousness, slavery, colonialism, and neo-colonialism. This study further asserts that the crisscross between Nigeria, America and the United Kingdom adumbrates a cartography of identity, race and agency that is definitive with far-reaching implications. Experiences in the ‘new world’ forces characters to apprehend race, its rigid borders, its socio-economic implications, and the constraining topography African bodies must navigate in order to become and belong. Crisscrossing the Middle Passage unveils historical and contemporary experiences where blacks become aware of race, identity and agency. Thus, Americanah is a novel that delineates the new coordinates for Black Bodies on the global stage.
AN APPRAISAL OF THE Dibia INSTITUTION ANDTRADITIONAL MEDICINE AS A STYLE IN GODDY ONYEAKAỌNWỤ’S PLAYS
This paper examines the traditional medicine institution as a style in Goddy Onyekaonwu’s plays focusing on their roles within Igbo culture. Qualitative research design focusing on textual analysis of the selected Igbo literary texts was adopted. Through an analysis of Nwata Rie Awọ, Ọkụ Ghara Ite, Ọkụ Ụzụ Daa Ibube and Eriri Mara Ngwugwu, this study aims at uncovering the wisdom and knowledge embedded in these plays. Onyekaonwu manipulated this aspect of culture and unveils the secret behind the interpretation and use of these wisdom and knowledge. The theoretical frameworks guiding this analysis are ecocriticism developed in the late 20th century influenced by the environmental movement led by Cheryll Glotfelty and and his team. The second is the theory of indigenous knowledge. This theory is as old as human being. It originates from the daily experiences of indigenous communities. This study therefore seeks to examine how Onyekaonwu incorporates elements of traditional healing within his plays and the symbolic role of traditional medicine in the plays and its impact on the style and choice of themes in the works. The findings suggest that while these dibia types are closely connected in their practices, they differ in their underlying philosophies. The paper concludes that traditional medicine institution provides services that are as effective as those of their orthodox counterparts, emphasizing their ongoing importance in Igbo culture.
The Future of Comparative Law: Towards A Sustainable Interaction of the Major World Legal Systems
Comparative law is an alternative way to harmonize the interaction between different legal systems. The future of comparative law can be determined by its ability to function as a connecting method between those legal systems. This research focuses on the interaction between three major world legal systems; civil law, Islamic law and common law. It critically provides illustrations on the influence of these three major systems on each other. The research, however, briefly discusses different methods used by the comparative law to interconnect between those major systems, which are: legal transplant, harmonization of law, convergence and unification of law. Lastly, the research finds that the interaction among the major world legal systems is best understood through the concept of globalization which functions as a reality, a theory, and an ideology.
A SYSTEMIC FUNCTIONAL LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS OF WOLE SOYINKA’S “THE LION AND THE JEWEL”
The paper carried out Systemic Functional Linguistic Analysis of Wole Soyinka’s The Lion and the Jewel. Halliday’s (1994) Meta functions of language are used as bases for the analysis of the data. The data are the dialogues selected from the play. The data is presented and analyzed according to the three Meta functions. It reveals how Lakunle’s use of register portrays him as a voice of modernity and his alienation from the community. It also reveals that Baroka is the custodian of tradition and a master of manipulation. Furthermore, it reveals that Sidi’s role in the play shifts. Additionally, it reveals how language shapes social reality, reflects power dynamics and negotiates meaning in a postcolonial context. It concludes that the analysis deepens our understanding of Soyinka’s play. It also concludes that Meta functions remain a powerful analytic model indicating how language encodes social, cultural and ideological meanings in literary texts.

Cultural Universals and Islamic Rites: A Comparative Study of Yoruba and Akan Muslims
This article explores the interaction between cultural universals and Islamic rites among the Yoruba of Nigeria and the Akan of Ghana. Both groups are historically rich in cultural practices such as kingship, kinship, marriage, naming, funerals, and inheritance—traditions that predate Islam but continue to shape the lives of Muslims today. Using a comparative and interdisciplinary approach, the study analyzes how these cultural universals are accommodated, reinterpreted, or contested within Islamic frameworks. The concept of ʿurf (custom) in Islamic jurisprudence provides a legal and theological lens for assessing the legitimacy of cultural adaptation. The analysis distinguishes between inculturation, in which culture enriches Islamic rites without doctrinal compromise, and syncretism, in which cultural practices undermine orthodoxy. The findings reveal that Yoruba Muslims more easily integrate their patrilineal and hierarchical systems into Islamic law, while Akan Muslims face sharper tensions due to matrilineal inheritance and strong traditions of ancestor veneration. Reformist movements critique many cultural practices as bid’ah (innovation), whereas Sufi traditions accommodate cultural forms within Islamic spirituality. The article concludes that Islam in West Africa demonstrates remarkable flexibility, as it not only adeptly integrates indigenous cultural universals into the faith, but also uphold universal norms. The Yoruba and Akan experiences prove that Islam in Africa is not a foreign transplant but a living faith deeply intertwined with cultural identity, a conclusion consistent with recent studies on lived Islam and cultural contextualization in West Africa (Busari, 2024a; Nolte, 2022).
Auspiciousness or Dysfunctionality? An Analysis of the Prospects and Challenges of Artificial Intelligence Tools (AI) in Communication Education Research in Nigeria
The incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in communication and media research and its implication of these developments on Communication Education has precipitated a paradigm shift that continually engender opportunities and challenges for researchers, educators, professionals and students in the discipline in Nigeria. Existing literature has highlighted the limitations of research on AI adoption in Communication Education particularly in tertiary institutions. The main issues identified include limited infrastructure and accessibility, non-functional curricula on AI in research, ethical considerations, and inadequate capacity building in AI adoption in Communication Education research in Nigeria. This paper examines the influence of AI on Communication and Media Education research in key areas: topic development, problem articulation, literature review, data generation, and data analysis. AI-powered tools such as (Mendeley, EndNote, SciSummary, ResearchRabbit and SurveyMonkey) are recalibrating research methodologies, pedagogies, and practices, facilitating more functional and precise analysis, at the same time raising concerns associated with originality of ideas, ethical bias, and personal interpretability competence. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyze literature on AI in Communication Education research. Data was collected from online academic journals using keyword such as “AI in communication research, AI in Communication Education and AI powered Communication Research. Data were analyzed using Thematic Analysis adopting an Inferential Analysis Approach”. Purposive sampling was used to select relevant literature on AI in communication research education. The findings indicate that AI is transforming communication and media research education by expanding the traditional research education skills and approaches in topic sourcing and articulation, literature review and documentation as well as data collection and analysis. This enables more efficient and accurate analysis leading to more valid significant and findings. The paper concludes that ethical and responsible adoption of AI in Communication Education research is imperative for efficient utilization of AI tools in research as well as for the transformations and cultivation of new skills to prepare both researchers and students for a rapidly evolving communication landscape. Ultimately, this paper recommends that communication researchers and educators should harness AI's potential while addressing its limitations to advance the field forward.
Artificial Intelligence and Digital Transformation in ESL Situations: Implications for Pedagogy, Learner Engagement and Instructional Efficiency
The integration of technology and artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized various sectors, including education, particularly in English as a Second Language (ESL) learning. In Nigeria, where English is the official language for education and commerce, proficiency in English is crucial for academic and professional success. However, traditional ESL teaching methods often fail to meet the diverse linguistic and cultural needs of Nigerian learners, resulting in varying proficiency levels. This paper explores the potential of digital transformation and AI to enhance ESL teaching and learning in Nigeria. AIdriven tools offer personalized learning experiences, adaptive assessments, and interactive content, while digital transformation facilitates access to quality educational resources and inclusive learning environments. The study highlights key opportunities, such as personalized learning, increased engagement, and improved assessment, while also addressing challenges like technological barriers, teacher training, and cultural diversity. Recommendations include investing in digital infrastructure, developing teacher-training programs, and ensuring ethical data practices. Future research should evaluate AI's long-term impact on ESL education in Nigeria and refine technologies to meet diverse student needs. This study contributes to the discourse on innovative language teaching approaches in the digital age, offering insights that extend beyond Nigeria's borders.
Analysis of Most Common Conceptual Metaphors Used in Boko Haram Discourse
This study examines the most frequently used conceptual metaphors by Boko Haram in their discourse. The study employs Extended Conceptual Metaphor Theory (Kovecses, 2002) as its theoretical framework. The study finds that the insurgents frequently use metaphors that are related to selfdefence as well as metaphors that concealed their communication which help them recruit new members for indoctrination. The study concludes that the insurgents have explored language and create meaning from metaphor as a weapon for their attacks. The study highlights security relevance as it revealed how the insurgents manipulate language to perpetrate attacks and escape attacks. This serves as a veritable source of information on how to curb the menace. The study also highlights social relevance as it established a link to bridge the communication gap that exists between the insurgents and the people of the community.
The Portrayal of Hausa norms and Values in Kamal’s Hausa Girl
The paper examines the perception of Hausa values, norms, and culture as presented in Kamal’s Hausa Girl, in which the author distorts the nature and basic norms and values that extensively frame the socio-cultural and religious attributes of the Hausa community. This is aimed at achieving a predetermined resolution, using the actress as bait to blacken the image of the Hausa movie industry as culturally and religiously destructive. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate how the actress becomes a dupe of textual deception, rather than being created by it. The paper deploys the ideas of Cultural Materialism in its analysis of the text. It concludes that Hausa Girl is replete with overrefinement, contradictions, and misrepresentations of the socio-cultural and religious norms of traditional Hausa society, which had a preconceived objective.

DECOLONIZING AFRICAN ISLAMIC HISTORIOGRAPHY: ITS CHALLENGES, OPPORTUNITIES AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS
This paper attempts to highlight on the decolonization of African Historiography on Islamic perspective. It aimed to challenge the dominant Eurocentric western views and promote a more balanced understanding of African Islamic Historiography and culture. The study scrutinizes the historical context of African Islamic historiography and analyzes the European intrusion into Islamic Historiography. It also explores the roles of Muslim historians in developing and maintaining sound historical narratives written by native African scholars. The research adopted a qualitative method, which includes descriptive, historical and analytical approaches. It found out that, the Glorious Qur’an and Sunnah provide divine legitimacy for moral and historical truth in narrative construction. Therefore, Ajami literature mirrors original Islamic Historiographies, often ignored and misrepresented in the Western/colonial academic circles. Moreover, decolonizing African Historiography needs to adopt a multidisciplinary approach, this means to study African History, particularly Islamic History and its culture through the divine sources and literature interpreted by the indigenous works of Muslim scholars in the region. It also explores that Islamic Historiography in Africa preexisted colonialism and must be recognized as an authentic intellectual tradition. The paper concludes that decolonizing African historiography is a ladder towards promoting a more inclusive and equitable representations of African histories and culture. Finally, it recommends the integration of Afrocentric historical narratives into African History curricula and research as long as they met the criteria for Islamic principles, so that national, Ministries of education and universities can integrate African-centered material, oral sources and indigenous knowledge into history curricula.
