A selection of papers published through MRI and MJIR.
Korie, M. • MJIR Vol. 1, Issue 1 • 2024 • pp. 1–20
Traces Nigeria's 2023 subsidy-removal shock to household level — dietary collapse, asset depletion, and gaps in social protection.
Korie, M. • MJIR Vol. 1, Issue 1 • 2024 • pp. 41–60
Proposes IoT weather stations and parametric micro-insurance via mobile money for smallholder farmers in the Guinea-Savanna transition zone.
Korie, M. • MJIR Vol. 2, Issue 1 • 2026 • pp. 61–80
Integrative ethnopharmacological review and six-phase drug discovery framework targeting peptic ulcer disease using Nigerian Senna alexandrina leaves.
Korie, M. • MJIR Vol. 2, Issue 1 • 2026 • pp. 81–100
Introduces 'macroeconomic gaslighting' and the 'stomach infrastructure paradox' to critique Nigeria's subsidy-removal era — the trillion-dollar delusion and the lived crisis behind the statistics.
Korie, M. • MJIR Vol. 2, Issue 1 • 2026 • pp. 101–135
Examines documented cases of security-sector capture and collusion across Nigeria's conflict zones, and asks what institutional decay and a hollowed-out sovereignty mean for the country's risk of fragmentation.
Korie, M. • MJIR Vol. 2, Issue 1 • 2026 • pp. 136–158
Synthesizes evidence on Bambusa vulgaris and Mangifera indica extracts to propose a hypothesis-generating quadriherbal formulation for MASLD, built around AMPK activation and PPAR-γ downregulation, with a staged roadmap toward validation.
Korie, M. • MJIR Vol. 2, Issue 1 • 2026 • pp. 159–184
Synthesises extensive secondary literature documenting the molecular targets of five compounds from Mangifera indica, Anacardium occidentale, and Bambusa spp. into a preliminary, hypothesis-generating multi-target network pharmacology picture.
Korie, M. • MJIR Vol. 2, Issue 1 • 2026 • pp. 185–208
Reorganises the documented Bambusa vulgaris and Mangifera indica literature around six biochemical, histological, and molecular endpoint categories, identifying where documentation is strong and where a future combined validation study would need to start.
Korie, M. • MJIR Vol. 2, Issue 1 • 2026 • pp. 209–228
Traces the "civilizational jihad" narrative to a single 1991 memo, identifies who built it into policy, and contrasts it with documented anti-Christian violence by Boko Haram and ISWAP in Nigeria, Europe, and the United States.
Korie, M. • MJIR Vol. 2, Issue 1 • 2026 • pp. 229–258
Re-examines the substantive, relational, and functional readings of the imago Dei against generative AI's capabilities, and proposes a public theology distinguishing algorithmic automation from authentic moral agency.
Korie, M. • MJIR Vol. 2, Issue 1 • 2026 • pp. 259–286
Documents how police and army narrative practices in South-East Nigeria substitute classification for investigation, grounding the pattern in moral panic and labeling theory and proposing a six-point accountability agenda.
Korie, M. • MJIR Vol. 2, Issue 1 • 2026 • pp. 287–306
Synthesizes national, state, and locally grounded evidence on poverty and social protection delivery in Nsukka, Enugu State, finding that Nigeria's flagship cash transfer programme can coincide with worse food security outcomes when transfer values are inadequate and irregular.
Korie, M. • MJIR Vol. 2, Issue 1 • 2026 • pp. 307–326
Examines why bandit leaders publicly named on Defence Headquarters wanted lists remain at large in Zamfara and Sokoto, weighing the contested ISWAP/Lakurawa jihadist link against political-settlements, rentier-conflict, and warlord-politics theories of why states negotiate with armed groups they could otherwise name and arrest.
Korie, M. • MJIR Vol. 1, Issue 1 • 2024 • pp. 21–40
Examines migration intentions among young Nigerians through a public health lens — mental health, health-worker emigration, and what human capital flight means for the country's development.
