African Youth And Political Crimes: A Call For Moral Re-engagement.

      Аннотация: Prior to colonialism Western-type democracy was, to the Muslim youths, a remote tale told only in books peddled only among Islamic scholars. An aftermath of colonialism have been the rising awareness amongst nations for the world to come together to share in the triumphs and travails of humanity. This thought ensued in globalization which propagates democracy across the world. Inevitably, African nations embraced the global trend in governance, and the Muslim youth participated in party politics. Given this scenario, the author explores the nature, prospects, and challenges of Northern Nigerian Muslim youth participation in party politics. He discovered some negative strains which have tainted their involvement in party politics. The litany of violence, political assassination, corruption and vote rigging were largely perpetrated by the youth goaded by the political overlords. This malady, he concludes, is alien to the character of the Northern Nigerian Muslim youth. The remedy, he suggests, lies in the moral rejuvenation of the Muslim youth in ways he has peculiarly identified in this book.
