The Value of Human Dignity: A Socio-Cultural Approach to Analyzing the Crisis of Values among Igbo People of Nigeria / Der Wert der Menschenwürde: Ein soziokultureller Ansatz zur Analyse der Krise der Werte unter den Igbo-Menschen in NigeriaEzenwa, Paul Chinedu January 2017 (has links) (PDF)
Starting from conception till death, man as a being relates with others. In this relationship he often encounters lots of problems that threaten his existence. One of them is the threat to his dignity. This experience is vivid in many countries particularly in Africa. But my work is limited to an ethnic group in Nigeria, namely Igbo people. The work discloses the extent 'displacement of value' in Igboland has contributed to the devaluation of human dignity and the attempts made to combat it. This displacement resulted in what we can call "value crisis". Some elements, like Igbo culture and cultural communication with foreign cultures that have tentacles in modernized orientation, are discussed as 'transmission carriers'. In order to x-ray properly the heart of this research and communicate the necessary messages, the work is presented in six chapters. However, this summary will not be presented in chapters.
Thus the need for a research on the reason for the failings and crisis of approach regarding this aspect of Igbo life that deals with the value of human dignity. This comes to term with the question which asked has the interest in the enhancement of the dignity of man waned because the effort towards this goal seem futile and unnecessary…Or is human dignity something we care about but take for granted as a cultural inheritance that no longer needs defence?” This question arouses thoughts on the value of HD. The entire work tried to justify the view that the protection of HD is for all times a true assignment of all. This must neither be considered to be relevant only for a time nor only for a portion or a group of individuals. Thus a special attention on this regard is demanded especially in modern day Igbo society. / Von der Zeugung bis zum Tod ist der Mensch ein Wesen in Beziehung zu anderen. Unabhängig davon hat der Mensch ein Problem damit, die Würde des anderen wahr werden zulassen.
Daher die Notwendigkeit einer Forschung bezüglich der Annäherungskrise in der Richtung eines Igbo Lebens, das sich mit dem Wert der menschlichen Würde beschäftigt. Das steht im Zusammenhang mit der Frage: Ist die Sorge um die menschliche Würde etwas, womit man sich mal beschäftigt hat, heute aber nicht mehr, weil die Mühe umsonst zu sein scheint, oder ist diese menschliche Würde etwas wichtiges, aber auch als selbstverständliches Kulturerbe, das keiner Verteidigung mehr bedarf? Diese Frage setzt Gedanken hinsichtlich der menschlichen Würde in Bewegung. Das Projekt berechtigt die Annahme, dass die Verteidigung des Werts der menschlichen Würde eine gemeinsame Aufgabe ist. Dabei sollte es nicht als für eine gewisse Zeit relevant angesehen werden, noch für eine bestimmte Gruppierung. Das bedarf einer gewissen Aufmerksamkeit in der modernen Gesellschaft der Igbo.

Statelessness and the Right to Citizenship in Nigeria: Toward an Ethic of RecognitionShimave, Mark John January 2023 (has links)
Thesis advisor: James F. Keenan / Thesis advisor: Daniel J. Daly / Nigeria is a huge and highly diverse country. It comprises an agglomeration of hundreds of precolonial nations, called “tribes” by the British colonizers. Since its independence in 1960, Nigerian State has been struggling with the question of citizenship; who is a Nigerian or who can be a Nigerian. Over these years, it has preserved an exclusive notion of citizenship where right to citizenship is intimately tied to membership of an “indigenous” community recognized by the state. This has set up boundaries between groups regarded as ‘autochthones' and 'immigrants', ‘first-comer and late-comer’, 'natives' and 'strangers’, ‘indigene’ and ‘settler’. Lacking a robust legal scaffolding, Nigeria’s system of citizenship has evolved organically to depend on authentication by local government authorities rather than a federal agency. As such, the right to be Nigerian is epitomized by a certificate of indigeneity, a nebulous system manipulated by politicians, traditional rulers and state officials. Today, such a system of citizenship has condemned different groups to the pains and agony of de facto statelessness. These groups include but are not limited to minority ethnic groups, internal migrants, internally displaced persons and refugees. In the light of the above, this thesis offers sustained ethical analysis of the oppressive structures of statelessness in Nigeria using the hermeneutical lens of human rights. Its main argument is that the lack of recognition of the citizenship rights of certain individuals or groups in Nigeria because of their ethnicity, religion or migratory history renders them stateless, constituting a grave injustice that can only be remedied through an ethic of recognition. This ethic takes the form of a set of proposals for Churches in Nigeria and the government. firstly, it articulates vigilance, humility and solidarity as necessary virtues for Churches in Nigeria to develop in order to be more capacious in responding to the challenges of statelessness. Secondly, it proposes legal and institutional reforms that the government of Nigeria must urgently embark upon to address the phenomenon of statelessness. These reforms will ensure that the national identity card or residence certificate replaces the indigene certificate as the only proof of Nigerian citizenship. / Thesis (STL) — Boston College, 2023. / Submitted to: Boston College.

Ecological profile of a Nigerian Sahelian wetland: toward integrated vertebrate pest damage managementEzealor, Augustine Uwanekwu 06 June 2008 (has links)
Interactions among the components of a Sahelian wetland and the ecologic-economic significance of the wetland are described as they relate to vertebrate pest damage. Ongoing hydro-ecological changes, started by periodic meteorological droughts and sustained by the effects of large-scale hydro-agricultural schemes, are described along with their impacts on wildlife habitats and other valuable wetland resources.
People in most communities in the wetland reported crop depredation by vertebrate wildlife. Traditional controls of pests are still practiced, but most are ineffective or time consuming. About 64% of the communities consider acoustic scaring techniques to be the most effective methods of vertebrate pest control. Depredation intensity is exacerbated by: 1) large-scale and year-round cultivation of cereal monocultures; 2) diminishing wetland habitats which concentrates wildlife and farms in a small area, thereby creating ideal conditions for wildlife-crop interactions; and 3) poor husbandry. Yield loss estimates due to vertebrates for major wetland crops were appraised as follows: 15.6-19.9% for rice; 10.6-15.6% for millet; 7.6-14.9% for sorghum; and 25.8-30.2% for cowpea.
About 28 vertebrate species were considered to be contributing to the agriculture-wildlife conflict. Quelea guelea and rodents (mainly Avicanthis niloticus, and Mastomys natalensis) were the most important pests. Waterfowl depredation was uncommon, but locally severe wherever it occurred. Philomachus pugnax, perceived by many local farmers as a serious pest of rice, was observed not to be a significant pest in the wetland.
Experimental investigations of the susceptibility of local rice varieties to granivorous passerines found yarkaushe to be the most resistant. Loss of grain cereals appeared to vary locally with places closest to avian haunts suffering higher losses. The nearness of farms to fallow plots and the flooding status (in the case of rice fields) were also important determinants of depredation intensity. I propose managing the agriculture-wildlife conflict by using the strategy of integrated vertebrate pest damage management (IVPDM), an approach which emphasizes shifting attention from controlling the pest species per se to cost effective changing of the damage they cause using several techniques simultaneously. The following techniques are recommended as potential components of the proposed IVPDM system: 1) improving husbandry practices; 2) manipulating the environment; 3) using audile and visual scaring devices; and 4) using limited amounts of rodenticides. / Ph.
