CONCEPTUALIZING NIGERIA'S RELIGIOUS CRISIS INTO A HYPOTHETICAL RESEARCH MODEL: -Semiu Akanmu
In every problem solving methodology or strategy, it is indispensable to understand all contributing variables and their level of significance to aid a holistic provision of panacea. This is the approach of solving issues in climes where policy implementation are marshaled based on R & D, and not 'fire brigade' nor 'my-personal-principle' approach like that of Nigeria's leaders.
In the model conceptualized, Religious crisis being the dependent variable, has Religious Mal-admonition, Religious Misconception and Religious bigotry as the independent variables (though, religious misconception is also seen to be dependent of religious mal-admonition), but Deprivation/Perceived injustice, Poverty, and Political plot (International & Domestic) play a moderating role in the actualization of religious crisis, while education will play a moderating role on all the three independent variables, wth a possibility of an inverse/negative effect.

ReplyDeleteGood work and research though, by the virtue of findings that makes no research work complete with the passage of time, am of the opinion that something vital is missing here, which plays an essential rolls in the life of an individual be he an Elite or Novice. .... i.e, ATTITUDE !! The attitudes of persons in the enforcement of the above by you needs be researched upon if we must get to the needed answer to the logic above. All the same good work.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this insightful contribution.
ReplyDeleteIt should be noted that Attitude as you rightly pointed out has been covered by this hypothetical model. This is covered under the conceptualization of Religious bigotry. Religious bigotry is an attitude that is inherently behavioural. Since research model must be specific and directly address its aimed objective, using Attitude will be too broad as a construct, and this is why it has to be re-defined in the confines of the research scope. Thanks
At least, this is what Martin Luther King held with regard to the struggle for civil rights and what the neo-atheistic activists seem to believe in their effort to bring about equal rights of secular-minded people.guarantor
