African Families in the Twenty-First Century explores the idea that the family is the basic unit of society and an enduring multifunctional institution in Africa. The functions and structures of African families, as well as the multiple roles played by Africa's women, are undergoing structural changes. The ways in which education, employment, and current economic conditions reshape these complex roles are immense. The challenges facing African families and their members-such as globalization, war, poverty, economic restructuring, reproductive health, HIV/AIDS, harmful traditional practices, aging, and care and support of the elderly-have magnified due to a series of economic, social, political, religious, ecological, and other related factors. Author Aderanti Adepoju explores the vulnerability and resilience of African families in the face of these crises and challenges. He also looks at the opportunities facing African families in the new millennium. Because of the importance of African families to the development process, African Families in the Twenty-First Century is essential reading for planners, policy makers, activists, academics, and students.

This collection of essays explores the critical and fluid nature of security challenges that have plagued Nigeria since colonial times. Insecurity in diverse forms remains the bane of growth and progressive development in the country, and has the capability to derail a society no matter how sophisticated. What has generated insecurity at the macro- and micro-levels? How has insecurity been tackled? Why have security challenges escalated particularly in the post-independence period? What lessons could be learnt from the way security matters have been (mis)handled in the past? This volume presents chapters on the historical roots and antecedents of security challenges, and considers the nexus between the economy, political leadership and development, and its impacts on security in modern Nigeria. It also explores the effectiveness of the strategies employed to address security challenges, and discusses why some security challenges have lingered.

This book exposes the overwhelming arrays of challenges that Christians face in the 21st century Nigeria. The purpose of this book is to consider these challenges and suggest means of meeting them. In this book, Christians are charged with living in such a manner as to contribute to the health and strength of their society. The book examines the extent to which the family depends upon the Church and its ministry for guidance and support in creating a healthy and moral atmosphere in the home. This book explains how the theological training of Pastors plays a significant role in society. Together, families and Pastors, leaders from every facet of life, could be joined together in the mission to create a healthy society. The book sees religious violence in Nigeria with emphasis on conflict resolution. The church has a responsibility to lead the nation in presenting peaceful resolutions to all forms of violence, whether in the home, the community, or nationally. Following closely on the issue of religious violence, is that of corruption at all levels, from personal to political. Lastly, the physical health of the individual and community is of vital interest to all. This book considers and examines the role of the Christian in Contemporary Nigerian Society with a view to taking responsibility in meeting the challenges and contributing to the solutions. This book reminds the Christian that he or she is not alone; he or she is but one part in the overall picture of a nation struggling to take its place in the 21st century world.

Africa today confronts, and is known for, daunting developmental challenges, despite the abundant human and material resources and significant global development assistance. A number of issues have been identified as causes of the continent’s poor development performance. However, a number of these implicated issues have been insufficiently unaccounted for, and the majority of existing analysis on them is too generic and misinformed. Against this background, this book uses Nigeria as an example to contribute knowledge and informed research to the wider African continent. Nigeria is the most populous nation in Africa, and is one of the continent’s most resource-endowed countries, but, despite this, it is one of the poorest countries in the entire world. While many studies have examined the country in depth, its continued development complications and its paradoxical status on the world stage suggest that there is still a need to better understand the country. Even though the issues of Nigeria are engaged with directly in this book, the findings have implications and relevance for the rest of the continent and many other developing countries in general. As such, this book will be of particular interest to all development students, scholars, practitioners and policy makers, especially those interested in the sustainable development of Africa, both now and in the future.
