THE IMPACTS OF DA’AWAH IN IDP CAMPS: THE CASE OF FCT ABUJA (ENGLISH AND LINGUISTIC PROJECT TOPICS AND MATERIALS)
CHAPTER ONE
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The Boko Haram insurgency and counter-insurgency activities there to widened in scope and intensity throughout 2014 and 2015 in the three North East States of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa.
There have been increased security incidents, leading to masses of internally displaced persons seeking safety. While the majority of displaced persons are currently in the most affected North East states, IDPs have also moved to other States throughout the country, including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Further, in the North Central, fierce clashes have ensued between Fulani pastoralists and Tiv or other farmers as well as communal and religious violence in Kaduna, Plateau, Nasarawa and Zamfara, which has also contributed to large numbers of internally displaced persons.
This displacement from North East and North Central conflicts led to the establishment of a number of IDP locations within the FCT.
As of July 2015 FEMA has reported 20,659 IDPs in FCT originating from Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states.
This insurgency has rendered families homeless, displaced to different part of Nigeria, children been orphan or even lost from their Parents, exposing children to child abuse, child trafficking and even organ excoriation (for money ritual).
IDP Locations in FCT
- New Kuchingoro
- Kuje Area
- Durumi Area 1
Da’awah in this IDPs camp is to deliver the message of Allah to the displaced persons and encourage them not to lose faith in Allah in time of hardship and difficulty. Allah says in the Qur’an,
We will test you with a certain amount of fear and hunger and loss of wealth and life and fruit of your toil. But give good news to the steadfast, those who when disaster strikes them, they say, we belong to Allah and to him we will return. Those are the people who will have blessings and mercy from their Lord, they are the ones who are guided. Q155-157
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
It is observed that IDPs face a lot of difficulty and hardship such as hunger, lack of proper shelter, poor educational system, insecurity, unhealthy environment, including lack of systematic humanitarian response, e.t.c which make them sell out their children, to ease their difficulty.
Some muslims among them go to the extend of joining non-muslims in worship or convert to other Religion, to get food items or gifts from them.
Women and young girls go into prostitution or marry men they don’t know to get shelter.
1.3 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The following are some of the objectives of this research work:
- To invite the muslims and non-muslims IDPs to Islam and convey the message of Allah.
- For humanitarian purposes, such as providing food, shelter, cloth and education especially to children by muslims communities in FCT
- To promote love, peace and unity among the IDPs through Da’awah
- To proffer solution to the identified problems in the IDPs camps within FCT
