ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF MORAL CORRUPTION ON THE LIVES OF THE CONTEMPORARY MUSLIMS IN KADUNA STATE

ABSTRACT

This thesis work analyzes the effects of moral corruption on the lives of the contemporary Muslims in Kaduna state. This is because moral corruption is a social problem, it is so vast in nature and it touches all aspect of human existence irrespective of where one resides. In Nigeria today, the level of corruption has unfortunately reached a level of international recognition. In view of this pervasive extent of corruption and indiscipline in almost all facets of life in Nigeria and in honest recognition of their adverse economic, political, socio-cultural and moral costs to the nation, it became indispensable to find a way or ways of tackling it, a way that is realistic and functional. In view of this, the research distributed a total of 800 questionnaires to the three senatorial zones of Kaduna state were used as respondents. Out of the 800 questionnaires distributed to them, 730 were fit for analysis. The Statistical package of the SPSS IBM 20 was used to analyze the data. The three null research hypotheses where tested using the Analysis of variance (ANOVA). All hypotheses are tested at 0.05 alpha level of significance. A rigorous evaluation of the nature and cause of the aspect of moral corruption among the contemporary Muslim population of Kaduna state in Nigeria; reveals a long-sustained serial departure from Islamic education guidance, which is made worse by an equally daunting extraneous influence of non-Muslims cultures. From the direct responses of the subject of this research, current data suggest the unanimous need to reinforce those primordial instrument for entrenching Islamic knowledge and compliance to formalized legal provisions, as well as informal etiquettes of the Islamic faith. Requirements such as respect and obedience to the elders by the youth, where brought forward as a way to install moral values in the society. And the acknowledgement that misappropriation of public funds on the part of the government contributes to the moral decadence in the society.
