Abstract

The boundaries of partnership between states and civil society organisations (CSOs), as well as who is counted and who gets to set them, have been the subject of ongoing debate. This discussion has gained particular significance in light of the growing securitisation and tactical engagement of CSOs in conflict, violence, and security. The discussion has led to the development of a theoretical framework known as "strategic exclusion, co-option, and containment" (SECC). Nevertheless, it is worth noting that, the importance of normative inquiries notwithstanding, there exists a dearth of contextual and empirical understanding regarding the dynamics of state-CSO interactions. To address this gap, this study examines the interactions between states and Muslim community-based CSOs in the implementation of preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE). The research draws from an ethnographic study involving various actors, including policymakers, security agents, non-state P/CVE practitioners, civil society group members, P/CVE donor-agency programme managers, and P/CVE coalition networks and steering committee members. The study argues that in the context of P/CVE, where a "whole-of-society" approach is promoted, the state utilises Muslim community-based CSOs primarily as intelligence producers to advance its interests, thereby undermining their agency in P/CVE practices. Despite its framing as a human security perspective on violent extremism, the whole-of-society approach in P/CVE remains deeply rooted in state-security logic and the continuation of the Global War on Terror (GWOT) practices. This ultimately constricts the spaces of engagement between the state and civil society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The knowledge of feeding habit and absorption of food in the gut of fish is important for fish farmers to boost their production and meet the ever increasing demand for man consumption. The carbohydrate, protein and lipid contents of the food ingested and their absorption in the intestine of Parachanna obscura and Clarias gareipinus inhabiting Ogbese River in Ekiti State were investigated. For Parachanna obscura, total protein of the ingested food was 64.54%, total carbohydrate 20.20% while the total lipid in the stomach content was 6.12% of organic matter. The total percentages of the food absorbed were 76.4% protein, 35.9% carbohydrate and 25.2% lipid. For Clarias gariepinus, total protein of the ingested food was 60.87%, total carbohydrate 30.42% while total lipid in the stomach content was 3.30% of organic matter. The total percentages of the food absorbed were 68.0% protein, 45.8% carbohydrate and 24.5% lipid. In both fish species the absorption of protein, carbohydrate and lipid occurred mostly in the fore-gut (the first one-third of the intestine). In Parachanna obscura, the foregut had the highest percentage absorption (59% protein, 24% carbohydrate and 15% lipid), while the hindgut had the lowest percentage absorption (4% protein, 4.6% carbohydrate and 3.3% lipid). In Clarias gariepinus, the foregut had the highest percentage absorption (41% protein, 34% carbohydrate and 14% lipid) while the hindgut had the lowest percentage absorption (4.1% protein, 3.6% carbohydrate and 3.3% lipid). The nutrients contents (protein, carbohydrate and lipid) of the food in Parachanna obscura were significantly different (P>0.05) from the nutrients (protein, carbohydrate and lipid) in the food of Clarias gariepinus. This will provide base-line information useful in artificial food formulation and culture of suitable live organisms for the species during culture of either species.

Abstract

Since it emergence into the political dictionary centuries ago; democracy has been frequently used as a “loose” concept. It has overtime the years developed off-shoots and branches, part of which is liberal-democracy. This study was undertaken to examine the practice of liberal-democracy of the Nigerian State. The study relied on secondary source of data collection. From the findings of this paper, liberal-democracy in the Nigerian state is characterized by problems of corruption, election rigging, ill-preparedness among others, which have hampered the practice. Furthermore, the study pinpoints how these “democratic evils” have been hindering the practice of free-flow democracy. Finally, the study outlines some suggestions to ensure a democracy capable of guaranteeing maximum practice of freedom in the Nigerian state.
