Embracing questions of media-democracy with peace in political communication statecraft of women in northern Nigeria

Abstract

Political communication and statecraft of women in Northern Nigeria are assessable from the women’s participation in democracy. Thus, this paper triangulates the women’s works by syntagmatic content analysis, critical discourse analysis and critical textual analysis. The women’s critical sociality justifies these methodologies and validates dimensions of critical theory and that of the theory of moral sentiments. Critical Discourse Analysis was used to evaluate the responses. The women’s statecraft, was justified on the Nigeria Political Thought in consolidating the women’s peace-building. Lastly, this paper recommends critical sociality and peace-building against conflict that empirical answers to historical questions of media and
democracy have unveiled.
