Negotiating and Policing Sex and Sexuality in Africa: Cases of Yan Daudu and Karuwai in Northern Nigeria

As these examples drawn from the City of Kano showed, gays (Yan Daudu) openly solicited male partners side-by-side with female prostitutes (Karuwai) within the same public space. These men were not only tolerated, but also patronized by inhabitants of Kano. The practice, which anti-dated colonialism, were regarded as integral to Islamic and Hausa culture and was recognized and respected. With these interwoven examples, the paper challenges the recent debate that homosexuality and other forms of queer sexuality is alien to African culture. Among other things, the paper asserts that while indigenous African communities were tolerant of queer sexuality, contemporary African society lives not only in denial, but also blame queer sexuality on Western culture. By situating the current debate in its histori...

Labour Migration in Colonial Yorubaland, 1893‐1960

As this study argues, change in land tenure system, establishment of transportation grid and communication systems, commercialization of agriculture, etc combined together to re-invent Yoruba societies and thus made it a choice location for labour migrants during the colonial period. These multidimensional developments skewed the relations between the rich, the royalty and the poor as well as redefined wealth. Morality, as wealth, gave way to audacity and the acquisition of material things. The new class of rich men and women were the industrious, the daring and the bold. Many of these nouveau riche, mostly immigrants, were the hithert...

Although scientists have not come up with a single definition of power that is capable of any systematic use, most people however have an intuitive understanding of what power is. The word power and its synonyms such as authority, influence, control, etc., which are sometimes used interchangeably in most literature, connotes the ability a person exercises over others by making them do his or her will, request or command against their wills. Conceived in this way, power therefore cannot exist in a vacuum except in relation to humans. Although power is also used in relation to inanimate things, the objective conceptualization of power is only measurable in human relation. A pack of lions may demonstrate or show recognition for a fellow lion as a leader within the park; however we may never know whether or not this demonstration of recognition constitutes power for the recognized lion or if such lion actually exercises any power or influence over others. Similarly, we may never know whether or not others in the park obey the lion with or without their consents. The same applies to when a lion easily overpower a deer. In such a case, we may never know if the overpowered deer surrenders freely or willingly in recognition of the lion’s power. Invariably, power is immeasurable only in human community.

Also, the paper aims to bring to the fore a dangerous dimension discernible from the current situations in Nigeria which involved local terrorist groups and their involvements with global actors, a development that I titled as ‘glocalization’ of terrorism in this paper"

This paper, using representative cases from Nigeria, x-rays these ‘unpopular’, therefore, out-of-policy-focus terrorist activities using interviews, newspaper and police reports. The paper, while calling on the international community and development partners to review their conceptualization of terrorism, also suggests intervention methods to curb the menace.
