SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The research was
carried out in the vicinity of Delta State. However, due to the
constraints of time and finance, two local government areas of Delta
State including Ughelli North and Oshimili North shall be the research
areas for this work. This work will also cover extensively the various
religious practices in this political province. This research will also
be limited to the influence of religion in the political practices and
in the daily administration of this province.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This
research will involve different methods in obtaining detailed
information about the structure of religion and politics in Delta State.
Primarily, previous works done by scholars on the political and
religions affiliations of Delta State and some other areas of common
interest will serve as source of information for this research.
Therefore, the various libraries in these two chosen local government
areas will be primary source of information. The University of Benin
Library will also be used as a major base for the acquisition of
information. Newspaper publications on religions and politics as well as
the use of the internet search machines will also be employed to ensure
the success of this research. Also, interviews will be conducted among
the people particularly among the clergymen and politicians in Delta
State so as to acquire first hand information from stakeholders who are
vast in the area of religion and politics within Delta State.
LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The
wide geographical area covered by this research extending to the whole
of Delta State seem to be one of the challenges to this work. Out of the
27 local government areas, only two could be effectively used due to
financial constraint.
Secondly, the lack of cooperation,
particularly from the political class, who always claim to be very busy
also stand as a limitation to this research. However, from the
co-operation of a few within Delta State the research was a great
success.
