The Arewa symbol is much more than an emblem or a decorative pattern for the people of Northern Nigeria. It is an embodiment of their rich religious, cultural and philosophical heritage. While several works have been written on the Arewa symbol, this paper distinguishes itself by its focus on the interaction of philosophy, culture, and theological ideals in the Arewa symbol. The symbol is, therefore, a metaphorical expression of the philosophical, theological and cultural principles of the Northern region’s heritage. For the purpose of achieving the aim and objectives of this paper, the historical, hermeneutic and analytical methods of inquiry will be used. The paper discovered that the Arewa symbol captures the very essence of Hausa identity and the enduring legacy of Northern Nigeria’s rich tapestry of beliefs, traditions, and wisdom.

The infiltration of Shiism and subsequent increasing growth of the Shia community in Sunni dominated northern Nigeria, especially from the 1980s to date (2015), have generated ideological tension and anxiety. The introduction of the Shia into northern Nigeria has challenged Sunni ideological dominance and ascendancy. The Shia ulama (scholars) clandestinely converted thousands of Sunnis into the new religious group. The Sunni ulama responded to the penetration and emerging Shia community through a myriad of ways in order to arrest what they perceive as a diffusion of antithetical ideology. The responses came in the form of public condemnation, invective songs, theological debates, and literary antiphon. The main thrust of all of these responses is the condemnation of Shia ideology, rituals and practices, especially the ones that oppose Sunni ideological beliefs. One of the major consequences of these responses is the emergence of literature in different languages, namely: Arabic, English and Hausa. However, there is an apparent lack of academic attention to this body of literature in spite of its relevance to understanding Sunni-Shia relations and theological contestations in northern Nigeria. This paper analyses some selected Hausa and English Sunni-reactive literature and assesses its attempt to challenge the spread of Shia ideology in northern Nigeria.

A survey was conducted in February of 2004 on the outbreak of stem rot and wilt disease of pepper at the Kitabawa/Danzakara and Ajiwa irrigation sites in Northern Nigeria. Laboratory investigations revealed that it was elicited by Phytophthora capsici Leon. The disease caused severe loss in yield and USD 1 700.00 to USD 3 200.00 loss in revenue/ha. The disease was probably further aggravated by the presence of Fusarium sp. as well as ecto- and endoparasitic nematodes. Reasons for outbreak were elucidated and solutions proffered

W związku z silnym wystąpieniem zgnilizny podstawy pędów oraz więdnięcia pieprzu w nawadnianych rejonach Kitabawa/Danzakara i Ajiwa w Północnej Nigerii w lutym 2004 r. przeprowadzono lustracje polowe. Badania laboratoryjne wykazały, że choroba była wywoływana przez grzyb Phytophthora capsici Leon. Spowodowała ona duże straty plonu i straty dochodu z 1 hektara plantacji wynoszące 700,00 USD do 3 200,00 USD. Na zwiększenie nasilenia choroby miała prawdopodobnie wpływ obecność Fusarium sp. oraz ekto- i endopasożytniczych nicieni. Choroba rozwijała się silniej w wilgotnym sezonie wegetacyjnym obejmującym miesiące od czerwca do listopada, a słabiej w suchym sezonie wegetacyjnym obejmującym miesiące od grudnia do maja. W pracy podano również zalecenia zwalczania choroby.

Artykuł dotyczy tematu hisb utworzonych w północnej Nigerii po wprowadzeniu muzułmańskiego prawa karnego w 2000 roku. Główną rolą hisby jest zapewnianie przestrzegania szari’atu wśród muzułmanów oraz informowanie o naruszeniach prawa. Ich członkowie starają się egzekwować nowe zasady zachowania, np. dress code dla kobiet oraz prohibicję alkoholową. Próbuja również wprowadzać segregację płci w transporcie publicznym. Operacje przeprowadzane przez hisby wzbudzają kontrowersje. Dochodziło do wielu przypadków nadużyć ze strony hisb. Ich członkowie wykonywali chłostę podejrzanych zamiast oddawać ich w ręce policji oraz zmuszali kobiety do zsiadania z pojazdów prowadzonych przez mężczyzn. Artykuł prezentuje instytucję hisby jako ważny element profilaktyki społecznej i resocjalizacji w kontekście kulturowym współczesnej Nigerii.

The article discusses the phenomenon of hisbahs established in Northern Nigeria after the introduction of Sharia criminal law, in 2000. The main role of hisbah is to ensure the compliance with Sharia law among Muslims, and to report any breaches of law. Hisbah members’ aim is to enforce new rules of behaviour, e.g. a new dress code for women or alcohol prohibition. Moreover, they strive to impose sex segregation in public transport. Hisbah’s operations have sparked major controversies, with a number of abuse cases being reported. Instead of surrendering suspects to the police forces, Hisbah members ordered their punishment by caning. They also forced women to take vehicles with men drivers. The article presents the institution of hisbah as an important element of social prevention and rehabilitation in the cultural context of today’s Nigeria.
