A.Islamic moral and ethics are enunciated through revelations which comprise the Qur’an and the authentic teachings of the Prophet. Although studies reveal Islamic moral and ethics in the society, little research is available on the impact of Islamic moral and ethics among students of Arabic schools in Ibadan. Therefore, the study evaluates the knowledge, attitude and practice of Islamic moral and ethics among the students of selected modern Arabic schools in Ibadan. This qualitative and quantitative study explores the knowledge of Islamic moral and ethics as well as the students’ attitude and practice accordingly, using face-to- face in-depth interview with 200 students and 500 copies of questionnaire administered.

O.; Oke, O. P.; Taiwo, B. S.Religion has a way of affecting every facet of the life of an individual or group of persons. Human beings are social animals who respond to their natural environments religiously. This response leads to institutionalised religious practises that are observed by adherents. Many religious institutions begin to proliferate and expand their tentacles as they grow. This expansion led to the acquisition of an expanse of land in choice areas among which is the Lagos-Ibadan expressway corridor. Many religious institutions have their campgrounds along the axis, which is over 120 kilometres long. The effects of the activities of these campgrounds have made scholars criticise them and faulted their mode of operations. Hence, the need to consider the social significance of the religious camps along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway, which is what this paper tries to survey. Max Weber’s Social Action theory is adopted in the analysis of the study while employing a simple sampling method of survey. The findings of the survey show that religious camps are socially significant in enhancing social relations and interaction, improving the Standard of living, and improving the availability of social amenities. The paper recommends that religious camps should employ means that will not put worshippers at health risks in their camps.Item Vote buying, electoral violence and democratisation in Nigeria(Department of Classics, Universiy of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria., 2019) Oke, O. P.This paper examines the menace of vote buying and electoral violence as recurring decimal in Nigeria’s political journey since it returned to democratic government in 1999. Nigeria has over the years witnessed incessant electoral violence which has claimed many lives and has badly affected the country’s nascent democratic experience. 1t is opined to have dented the image of the country among the comity of nations. At the beginning of the country’s democratic experience after many years of military Interregnum, Nigerians thought the civilian administration would be better as those elected or appointed as the case may be, were expected to deliver the dividends of democracy to the people who voted them into power. Existing studies on democratic governance in Nigeria have focused majorly on the historical, economic and the social effects of bad governance to the neglect of how vote buying and electoral violence could constitute a perennial clog in the wheel of progress in our efforts at sustaining our hard earned democracy. This paper therefore in clear terms makes effort to discuss the menace of vote buying and electoral violence, their consequences and how to ensure a free, fair and credible elections in Nigeria.Item The socio cultural implications of house-wives rivalry among Yoruba women of South-Western Nigeria(Faculty of Education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria., 2024) Oke, O. P.House wives' rivalry among Yoruba women has over the years become a teething socio-cultural menace that requires a scholarly attention for family stability and a better society where peace and harmony find their footings. It is a known fact that female gender in Yoruba land and Nigeria in general has been marginalized, stereotyped, decimated and humiliated in various ways by their culture that gives the male counterparts such opportunity which has negatively impacted them in various ways like depression, physical disability, psychological trauma and even death. Existing studies on this subject matter, have discussed this menace extensively from the psychological, physiological, sociological, ethics and legal perspectives, with little attention paid to the intra gender violence that are common mostly among house wives in Yoruba land which on many occasions breaks in pieces the social-cultural bond of unity and we- feeling that the people are known for. While many scholars condemn the act in its entirety, as it is believed to be incongruity with rights to dignity of human person, personal liberty, private and family life, others are of the few that Women are to be seen and not to be heard and for this reason, they are to be continually marginalised and treated as second fiddles. This is the gap in study this paper intend to fill Methodologically, the research employs a qualitative method to elicit Information from those involved in family matters, culture, gender issues and human development- Recommendations will be offered where necessary for an improved inter-personal relationship among women for a peaceful society.Item The socio economic implications of ethno-religious conflict in Nigeria(Faculty of Education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria, 2022-06) Oke, O. P.; John, E. O.Ethno-religious conflict and its attendant implications have become the Order of the day in Nigeria and its economic effects on the nation over the years are mindboggling. Many houses and means of livelihood destroyed resulting in poverty among many families. Existing studies on ethno-religious conflict have focused mainly on the political, spiritual and ethnic dimensions to the neglect of how it has impacted negatively on the economic development of the nation, thereby making the country to take a backseat among the comity of nations. Ironically, as religion could be used as instrument of social harmony in many civilizations, it could also serve as a motivation for conflict, hence its description as a double edged sword. Our findings revealed that bad governance, marginalization/inequality, weak security network and corruption are the major factors that precipitated ethno-religious conflict in Nigeria. It is on this note that this paper discussed the socio-economic implications of ethno-religious conflict on Nigeria. In particular, the paper investigated the genesis of ethno-religious conflict in Nigeria, its causes and effects and how the incessant ethno-religious conflict can be addressed headlong thereby bringing about a peaceful co-existence among the people which will invariably result in monumental development in the nation.Item The relevance of religious leaders in fostering an enduring democratic change agenda in Nigeria(African Society for the Study of Sociology and Ethics of Religions, 2018-12) Oke, O. P.Issues relating to expected roles of leaders generally in Nigeria have been discussed severally at various fora. But, an area where attention is yet to be focused on, is the aspect that has to do with the duties and responsibilities of religious leaders on matters affecting the political life of Nigerians, bearing in mind the high level of corruption, nepotism, favouritism, kidnapping, robbing Peter to Pay Paul syndrome and the menace of militant groups who have constituted themselves as clogs in the wheel of political development in our country. There is the need for the religious leaders to wake up from their slumbers and take the bull by the horn in order to find a lasting solution to the myriads of problems that have bedevilled the political structure in Nigeria. This is very important so that the change agenda of government will not be a mere wishful thinking. Therefore, the aim of this paper will be to examine the interconnectivity between religion and politics, the social responsibility of religion in the democratic change agenda and the role expected of religious leaders in Nigeria. Recommendations like the religious leaders being focused to their callings and others will also be made to address the seemingly insurmountable political problems in the country.Item Proverbs and taboos as tools for women oppression among Yoruba of Southwest Nigeria(Faculty of Education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria., 2020-01) Oke, O. P.The relevance of women in every culture cannot be over-emphasized, this is because human society positioned them in an enviable place. They are described as home builders and house keepers. In any society, they wield enormous influence and, in some spheres, and cases, they have contributed strongly and positively to societal growth and transformation. However, as much as their influence is, many societies have consigned them to the background. Such societies have negative views and opinions about women through the use of proverbs and taboos that are largely inherent and culture based. Existing studies on women in Africa and Nigeria in particular have focused mainly on the contributions of women in every area of human endeavour with little attention paid to how proverbs and taboos that are satirical in nature have been used to reduce women to subordinate and second class citizens. Therefore, this study examined some selected proverbs and taboos among the Yoruba of Southwest, Nigeria and how they have negatively affected the rights of women and the way such rights can be enhanced in the Contemporary society. Recommendations were offered on how women can rise to the challenge of being relegated to the background so as to be able to contribute more meaningfully to the society without being culturally caged.Item Immunity clause in the Nigerian constitution and its implication for good governance(2016-06) Oke, O. P.The raging controversy surrounding whether to remove or retain the immunity clause in the Nigerian Constitution has been on for quite sometimes now. That is, whether there should or shouldn't be immunity for elected political office holders in the country. Section 308 of the Nigerian Constitution provides for immunity for certain elected officers in the country. Though, this section appears to be express and clearer tough, it has however generated a lot of controversies and debates. The proponents of its abrogation argue that immunity encourages corruption and therefore gives room for bad leadership. On the contrary, those who support its retention have argued that removing it will allow those at the helm of affairs in the country to be distracted from performing their statutory roles with frivolous litigations. This issue has been discussed from various perspectives and it seems no serious decision has been taken on it. But a burning matter that needs to be addressed in this paper is the effect of its inclusion on good governance in Nigeria. Therefore, this paper addresses issues such as the meaning of immunity clause, good governance, the interplay between immunity clause and good governance and recommendation will also be made to address the issue.Item Examining the status of traditional rulers in the pre-post-colonial Yoruba society(Faculty of Education, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria, 2019) Oke, O. P.Traditional rulers in Yoruba society have over the years played significant roles in the social, political and economic development of the traditional society. What constitutes the major roles of traditional rulers as they affect the society generally have been discussed by various scholars. However, there was little or no attention on the dwindling in Status of traditional rulers in the modern society due to modernity and civilization which has relegated them. This has over the years rendered them and the institution almost irrelevant and mere figure heads, it has also contributed in no small measure to the security threat, unbridled recklessness and instability in the nation. The paper therefore examines the change in Status and prestige of traditional rulers in the Pre and Post-colonial periods in yoruba land and how their Status could be re- invigorated and re-energized to play a complementary role in addressing various problems facing the nation today.
