This study explores the intricate dynamics of the Muslim community and the process of socialization in the contest of South-Western Nigeria. The region, known for its rich cultural diversity and historical significance. Is home to a sizable Muslim population. Understanding the dynamics of this community and its socialization pattern, is crucial for appreciating the complexities that shape the social fabric of the region. The research employs a multidisciplinary approach , incorporating sociological, anthropological and historical perspectives to analyse the various facets of Muslim life in south- western Nigeria.

Peace is a condition for the development of a community even when conflict is inevitable considering the diversity in our society. Ilorin, the Kwara state capital has experienced manageable inter-faith face-offs. The most recent of these face-offs is the Bishop Smith Memorial College social unrest of 2019. The rampage threatened the peaceful coexistence of the city hence, the need for improved conflict management. This work studies the causes consequences and resolutions of the current Christian/Muslim crisis in the city of Ilorin with a view to suggesting preventive methods to future occurrence. Historical research method was deployed the work using a combination of structured interview, statutory records and observations for data collection and analysis. Findings of the work revealed that the struggle for dominancy by Christians in the Christian Missionary Schools is a major cause of the Christian/Muslim crisis in the town and the respect for law has helped in mellowing the crisis. However, if the government should stand on the enforcement of its blue print on how grant-aided schools should be coordinated, peace in the various missionary schools could be extended to the town.

(Published by Institute of Community Development Practitioners (ICDP), Bayero University, Kano., 2018) Mr. Sholagberu A.O.; Mr. Kayode S.T.; Mrs. Najeem A.H.
The paper examines community development in Nigeria with emphasis on the institutions, agencies, policies and strategies employed to bring about the much-needed community development in the country. In the attempt to do this, clarification of concepts like development, community, and community development was carried out, which formed the theoretical basis of the analysis, It was found out that efforts made by the Nigerian government though several strategies like the nation 's development plans from independent 1o date which were ex-rayed did not bring about meaningful development. Similarly. international organizations and regional strategies have not led to any significant improvement in the living conditions of the community dwellers and community development in general. The paper therefore concludes among other things that for rapid and sustained community development to take place, the lopsided and urban based development process must be reversed to community based and bottom-up approach, government to continue to create conducive environment for community development to thrive, change of attitudes and orientation by all and sundry, particularly the leadership class in Nigeria in order to minimize corruption and mismanagement of resources.
