African Polygamy: Church Action, · Community Reaction, and · Personal Interaction
(1994) A.M. OKORIE
Polygamy ~as been at the heart of the whole polemics within the Church and the African community. This social problem has been from tQ.e mid-nineteenth century until today. 1 The Western entry into Africa brought various changes, especially the introduction of Christianity. The Church and the community interacted, but in the practice of polygamy the Church and the community became strange bed-fellows. As Alan Tippett describes it: uThe .current situation is urgent."2 I shall briefly explore the nature, extent and function of polygamy, the problem or concern being debated, the Church action on polygamy, the community reaction in Africa, and my personal interaction with this sensitive socio-ecclesiastical issue.

AFRICAN WIDOWHOOD PRACTICES: THE IGBO MOURNING EXPERIENCE
(1995) A.M. Okorie
The Good News of Jesus Christ has brought salvation and hope to many who suffered in their former way of life. No greater contrast can be found than in the two different approaches to death, that of the Christian faith and that of African traditions. The Gospel liberates believers from the fear of death and fear of the living-dead. Yet the deep seated world view of African traditions persist, even in Christian communities. Dr. Okorie explores the mourning experience of the lgbo of Nigeria, as experienced particularly by the widows. He briefly mentions some of the ways in which the biblical teaching should transform the traditional approach to death. Death with alf the beliefs and practices surrounding this universal experience deserves more thought in order to know how to bring complete deliverance to God's people held in bondage of fear.
MEALS AS TYPE-SCENES IN THE THIRD GOSPEL
(1996) A.M.Okorie
Luke includes a reference to food in many chapters of the Third Gospel. It is obvious that meals play an important part in the Lukan presentation of the story of Jesus. The meals of Jesus have profound theological significance, and this significance mounts as each scene is carefully unfolded by the author. This paper is directed towards the establishment of a fixed pattern or type-scene which will serve to identify those scenes that can technically be called meal-scenes.

A Reflection on the Challenges in Nigerian Agricultural Policies and the Way Forward
(Journal of Administrative Science, 2005) Abdul Rauf Ambali; Asimiyu Olalekan MURANA
his study examines the Nigerian Agricultural Policies before and after independence. The paper employs secondary source of collecting data. The study reveals that despite the soundness of most of the Nigerian Agricultural Policies, there is a real short fall between the expectations and results. It also identified some of the challenges of the reviewed policies which have been hitherto affecting the translation of these ambitious policy documents into realities. Based on the findings of this paper, it was recommended that government should redouble its efforts in implementing various policies and programmes, adopting a consistent policy measures, avoiding unjustifiable policy reversals, partnering with relevant inter-governmental organizations in order to attract the much-needed private sector capital injections into the agricultural sector, as well as increasing the expertise to make the sector become the engine of growth in Nigeria.

The Impact of Economic Development on Water Pollution: Trends and Policy Actions in Malaysia
(Springer Science + Business Media, B.V. 2007, 2006-08-09) Suleyman A. Muyibi; Abdul Rauf Ambali
The paper examines the impact of development activities on water pollution in Malaysia. Hence, the main objective of this paper is not just to examine the trends of development-induced water pollution around the region of the country but to know where the problems are and the policy measures taken by the government. It evaluates the probable causative relationship between problems introduced due to technology employed in water pollution control and governmental policy measures. It examines the relationship between development indicators as sources of pollution and polluted rivers over a period of 12 years. The findings of the paper have shown that despite the policy enforcement actions against the identified sources of water pollution, all the three development indicators (chosen based on those identified sources) still accounted for high percentage of river pollution in Malaysia. The findings of the paper were used to identify the central fact of the location of the problem. Some crucial conclusions of where the problems likely to be, as reflected in the findings, are: (a) the issue of interactive-effects between pollutants that many policy-makers are not aware of. This is when policy measures concentrate only on one source of water pollution; (b) the enforcement strength and/or effectiveness of policy measures themselves; (c) financial constraints to invest in appropriate technology especially sewerage systems for controlling human source of water pollution in the country; as well as those confronting small polluting industries (d) finally, lack of cooperation between government and private business firms to comply with regulatory policies for water pollution control.
Internet services and the challenges of Muslim adolescents
(Al-Fikr Journal of Arabic and Islamic Studies, 2007) Hussain-Abubakar, Sherifat
The Internet is one of the units of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). It provides various services including: Electronic Mail (e-mail), Search Engines and File Transfer. This technological advancement poses a lot of challenges to Muslim adolescents. The paper focuses on the Search Engine Service of the internet and the varieties of uses it can be subjected to. The Islamic provision on child upbringing was used as a standard for measuring the pros and cons of this information service. The paper established that Search Engine Service enables the user to have access to unrestricted information and entertainments which expose them to trivialities and obnoxious experiences that are condemned by Islam.
Development-Induced Water Pollution in Malaysia: Policy Planning, Instruments for Protection and Emerging Issues
(European Journal of Social Sciences, 2007-04-07) Professor. Abdul Rauf Ambali
Development program is primarily the target of any government to uplift the standard of life of its people. However, in the course of these developmental programs, the basic unit of life upon which the people depends, especially water resources, becomes the price for the costs of such development activities. Hence, this is considered as trade-off between development program, which is compulsory, and degradation of environmental resources at large. The paper, therefore, examined the strategic policy planning and instruments used by the government to balance between these environmental resources and development, with special reference to water. In the course of this investigation, various environmental integration policies with development plans were examined. In addition, the strategic instruments such as polluter-pay principle, contravention licence, effluent standards and the issues associated with each of them, which are likely to affect the policy implementation procedures and/or jeopardize the objectives of the policy programs for pollution abatement were examined.

Pragmatic Trends in Arabice Linguistic Heritage
(Journal of Arabic Linguistics Tradition, 2009) Tajudeen Yusuf
Upon examining Arabic grammatical and linguistic works, it becomes apparent that some Arab linguists had addressed what is known in Modern Linguistics as "pragmatics," especially in the field of rhetoric. This study investigates and highlights the roots of pragmatics in Arabic Medieval writings and attempts to uncover specific authors' contributions. Focus here is on the works of five traditional authors: Al-Jāhidh, Al-‘Askari, Al-Jurjāni, Al-Sakkāki, and Hāzim Al-Qartājanni. From a pragmatic perspective, some modern linguists such as Leech claim that in order to understand human communication and expression, a number of factors inevitably need to be considered. These often include one's own knowledge about social distance, social status between the speakers involved, cultural knowledge such as politeness, and linguistic knowledge (explicit and implicit). Although pragmatics is a relatively new branch of linguistics, a comparison between modern theories of pragmatics and the early works of some Arab scholars shows that there is a clear indication that Arab and modern linguists share some common theoretical and philosophical opinions on the foundations and applications of lexical semantics and pragmatics. It is obvious that some Arab scholars had addressed the importance of employing the linguistic context as well as the situational context in the interpretation of a text or an expression if a deeper and generally more reasonable account of human language behavior is sought. Arab authors had also addressed how the transmission of meaning depends not only on the linguistic knowledge of the speaker and listener, but also on the context of the utterance, knowledge about the status of those involved, and the inferred intent of the speaker. Moreover, their views on communicative acts or speech acts are not limited to their linguistic and rhetorical works; the importance of linguistic and non-linguistic components in interpreting communications is widely discussed in their works dealing with juristic, exegetical, and other studies.
Semantics of the Qur’anic Weltanschauung: A Critical Analysis of Toshihiko Izutsu’s Works
(American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences, 2009) Abdul Kabir Hussain Solihu
This paper examines the structural semantic approach based on the theory of linguistic relativity to scriptural language as exemplified in Toshihiko Izutsu’s studies of the Qur’anic weltanschauung. According to this theory, each language contains a particular worldview that causes its speakers to view the world in a way different from the speakers of other languages. By an analytical study of the semantic fields and contextual use of the Qur’an’s key conceptual terms, Izutsu explores the semantic factors believed to have been employed by the Qur’an in its Islamization of the jahili (pre-Islamic Arab) worldview. Such an approach exhibits that the Qur’an’s linguistic vision of reality is internally coherent but culturally and historically conditioned. Following a textual analysis, this study critically examines, from both an ethical and a theological perspective, the semantic theory that Izutsu applies to the Qur’an’s key concepts in his two works: God and Man in the Qur’an and Ethico-Religious Concepts in the Qur’an. The objective is to investigate the extent to which semantic analysis could enrich our understanding of the ontological problems raised in the Qur’an.
