“…Furthermore, Nigeria is a religiously emotional country where most religious leaders sentimentally embark on overheating polity whenever an emerging national issue has to do with a religion other than theirs (Ezeh and Nkamnebe, 2019;Ezeh and Nkamnebe, 2018;Yunusa and Nordin, 2015). Studies have documented lots of religious crises in Nigeria (Aluko, 2017;Langer et al, 2016). Conclusively, identifying factors that influence Islamic bank adoption in this special type of environment is a concern to scholars.…”

Purpose The 2008 financial crisis that hit conventional banks provides a market opportunity for special types of banks. Furthermore, given the current financial reform for financial inclusion and economic concern of the Nigerian Government, there is a need for research on the adoption of Islamic banks. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to determine the predictors of Islamic bank adoption in Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach Data is collected from 385 Islamic bank customers in northern Nigeria and is analyzed using the partial least square structural equation modeling technique. Findings The result reveals that trust, social influence, knowledge and government support have a significant positive relationship with the adoption of Islamic banks, while relative advantage and compatibility do not. The model (trust, social influence, knowledge, government support, relative advantage and compatibility) explained 50% of the variance in the adoption of Islamic bank. Practical implications These findings are very important to scholars, the policymakers and Islamic bank operators in designing their marketing strategies. It shows that trust, social influence, government support and knowledge are predictors of Islamic bank adoption. Originality/value This study extended the diffusion of innovation (DOI) theory by combining relative advantage, compatibility with trust, social influence, knowledge and government support to the model. The developed model is validated for the study of Islamic bank adoption in an emerging market, Nigeria. Arguably, it is the only study that test effect sizes (f2) and predictive relevance (Q2) of extended DOI on Islamic banks.

“…Seated in the market are Muslim beggars who exclaim and assert their Islamic faith to the preacher's message against nudity saying Lailah Ilalahi! Tunde Kelani is advocating religious harmony in a country where sectarian and religious divides are a serious threat to national sovereignty (Çancı & Odukoya, 2016;Langer, Godefroidt, & Meuleman, 2017). Having extolled Christianity and Islam of their values, Tunde Kelani appears to have a problem with how Africa's indigenous forms of knowledge and traditions are relegated to the background, and in some cases depicted as fetish and agents of Satanism.…”

Tunde Kelani (TK) is one of the few astute filmmakers of the African continent whose cinematic works defy laid-down artistic styles and conventions. He expresses his cinematic language and narrative styles, which famously pay high credence to Yoruba cosmology, beliefs, and poetic and folkloric narrative elegance. Tunde Kelani’s auteurial and linguistic styles reflect every other artistic work he produces. Apart from giving his audience something of traditional and Afrocentric worth, he heightens themes of corruption and its devastating consequences on society through his films. Through content analysis, this article considers the thematic concerns of Tunde Kelani’s Arugba (2009). The term, auteurism is not a new concept when it comes to appraising the works of Tunde Kelani but new in the filmic discourse of Arugba (2009). Tunde’s cinematic signature is expounded to give insight into the themes raised as a means of explication. The conclusion reached is that TK exudes ideological, cultural, poetic and metaphysical motifs in the film Arugba (2009) in ways that intensify his concerns about the decaying political and societal rot within African society.

“…Also, Nigeria has witnessed a lot of religious crises (Aluko, 2017). Boko Haram insurgency further lays bare Nigeria’s ethno-religious cleavages (Langer et al , 2016). Religious diehards always embark on overheating polity whenever an emerging national issue has to do with a religion other than theirs (Ezeh and Nkamnebe, 2018; Yunusa and Nordin, 2015).…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to establish the relationship between relative advantage, social influence, trust, compatibility, knowledge and adoption of Islamic banking among non-Muslim bank customers in a Muslim zone of Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach Usable questionnaires were received from 350 participants. Structural equation modeling is used to assess the relationships between latent unobserved constructs. Composite reliability and average variance extracted were used to test the reliability and validity of the instrument. This study uses the correlational research design to test the hypotheses. Findings The findings indicate that relative advantage, social influence, trust and compatibility significantly influence adoption of Islamic banking among non-Muslim customers in a Muslim zone of Nigeria. However, knowledge of Islamic banking operations does not significantly influence adoption of Islamic banking. Originality/value The existing literature focuses on factors that influence the adoption of Islamic banking, without due emphasis on non-Muslims. The religious divides of Nigeria compel this research to determine the factors that influence the adoption of Islamic banking among non-Muslim customers. Hence, this research seeks to bridge the gap in the existing literature by embarking on an investigation using innovation diffusion theory to identify factors influencing the adoption of Islamic banking among non-Muslim customers in the Nigerian context.
