Opis:
Background: Recognizing what makes some patients to be perceived as ‘difficult’ is a clinical sign warranting a diagnostic interpretation. However, few studies have explored difficult clinician-patient encounters in physiotherapeutic practice. The present study assesses physiotherapists’ perceptions of difficult patients and their relevant management strategies in a previously unexplored context, i.e. in Nigeria. Method: Consenting physiotherapists from eight selected hospitals in Southwestern Nigeria participated in the study. A total of 110 questionnaires were administered, and 107 were fully completed and returned (97.3% response rate). A four-section questionnaire adapted from two earlier studies was employed. Descriptive statistics of frequency and percentages were used. A chi-square test was used to check associations between variables. The alpha level was set at 0.05. Results: Patients seeking multiple opinions from various professionals (55.1%), patients demanding the therapist’s knowledge and time (53.3%), and patients unwilling to participate in rehabilitation (15.0%) were mostly perceived as difficult by the physical therapists. The relationship of a physical therapist and a difficult patient mostly involves feeling rarely at ease in presence of a patient (50.5%), and feeling rarely enthusiastic about caring for a patient (48.6%). Shifting focus away from pain (32.7%) and avoiding scheduling two difficult patients consecutively (17.8%) were two most frequently agreed management strategies. There were no significant associations between the respondents’ socio-demographic characteristics and most strategies of management of the perceived difficult patient (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Patients who seek multiple opinions from various health professionals regarding their condition, and patients who demand the therapist’s knowledge and time are mostly considered to be difficult patients by Nigerian physiotherapists. Shifting focus away from pain and avoiding scheduling two difficult patients consecutively are the most rated strategies of management of such patients.

Opis:
W artykule omówiona została tradycja zbrojnego dżihadu w północnej Nigerii. Po uwagach wstępnych zarysowano początki muzułmańskiej myśli reformatorskiej w tym regionie. Zaprezentowano również dziewiętnastowieczny dżihad Usmana dan Fodio oraz zamieszki samozwańczego proroka Maitatsine w Kano w 1980 roku. Na tle tak zarysowanej tradycji dżihadystycznej w północnej Nigerii przedstawiono następnie najnowszą aktywność militarną Boko Haram.
In the paper I present the tradition of military Jihad in northern Nigeria, proving that it has deeply affected the activities of a terrorist organisation known as Boko Haram. The history of Islamic reform thought in the region has its roots in the 15th century. Moreover, Usman dan Fodio’s Fulani Jihad played crucial role in shaping ideas about Islamic revival in these territories, including the teachings of Muhammad Yusuf, as well as recent military activities of Boko Haram.

Opis:
In a democratic environment, Political Parties are the fulcrum and focal instrument because it set the foundation or the platform for representation in government and politics of a people. As an institution that continuously seeks the control of state power and authority it then behoove on it to set the agenda of integration so as to synergize the strength of bonding for national achievement. However, this can only be achieved through its policy templates, true process of democratization and a more nationalistic outlook instead of sectionalism amidst others. Nigeria, as a country have been persistently challenged with the problem of achieving a common front due to the myriad of factors that continuously bifurcate every of its fiber or fabrics. Hence, this paper examines the role of political parties in achieving National integration in Nigeria. After using the primary and secondary sources of data collection analysis it was obvious that political parties have continuously failed in integrating the society due to a strong hold on ethnic divides, corruption, unfulfilled promises, thuggery among other negative portraits. Thus, the paper recommends that political parties should reflect a national outlook instead of been primordial, therefore the independent national electoral commission should not register parties with parochial ideology more so, citizens should be encourage to massively participate in politics so as to enclose the possibility of election rigging.
W środowisku demokratycznym partie polityczne są punktem odniesienia i głównym instrumentem, ponieważ stanowią podstawę lub platformę reprezentacji narodu w rządzie i polityce. Jako instytucja, która nieustannie poszukuje kontroli władzy i autorytetu państwa, zobowiązuje się następnie do wyznaczenia programu integracji, tak aby synergicznie zwiększyć siłę więzi dla narodowych osiągnięć. Można to jednak osiągnąć tylko dzięki szablonom politycznym, prawdziwemu procesowi demokratyzacji i bardziej nacjonalistycznym poglądom zamiast sekcjonalizmu pośród innych. Nigeria, jako kraj, nieustannie stawiała czoła problemowi osiągnięcia wspólnego frontu ze względu na niezliczone czynniki, które nieustannie rozszczepiają każde z jej „włókien”. Dlatego niniejszy artykuł analizuje rolę partii politycznych w osiąganiu integracji narodowej w Nigerii. Po skorzystaniu z pierwotnych i wtórnych źródeł analizy gromadzenia danych było oczywiste, że partiom politycznym nieustannie zawodziła integracja społeczeństwa ze względu na silne trzymanie się podziałów etnicznych, korupcję, niespełnione obietnice, przestępczość i inne negatywne czynniki. W artykule zaleca się, aby partie polityczne odzwierciedlały poglądy narodowe. Niezależna krajowa komisja wyborcza nie powinna rejestrować partii tylko „o ideologii zaściankowej”. Należy zachęcać obywateli do masowego udziału w polityce, tak aby ograniczyć możliwość fałszerstw wyborczych.

Opis:
The aim of the presentation is an attempt of a new approach to the matters of regionalization of geographical space and valorization of scenic units made from the outside reference point (in the orthogonal grid). Such an opportunity to take a look from another perspective is given by analysis of aerial and satellite photos, and DTM. Regardless of the adopted way of perceiving the landscape: either as a peculiar spatial structural-material unit (an approach typical of natural sciences), or a physiognomic approach (typical of humanist and technical sciences), the landscape requires appropriate categorization and evaluation. The presentation shows methods which allow for multi-criterion evaluation of spatial units, and then basing on this, suggest possibilities of new spatial divisions. From the point of view of analysis of Sat images and DTM, the most important methods include: Cartographic methods, like: bonitation method, matrix method of determining landscape value, landscape model as surface features, method of determining boundaries and ranges of scenic units, their features, intensity, needs, significance, relations, etc., method of cartometric determination of outlines of objects (scenic units) as basic fields of evaluation – determination of shape and size; Terrain methods used mainly in landscape architecture, like: method of scenic interiors and units, method of impression curve by Wejchert, method of rural landscape classification by Sóhngen, “photographic” method by Cymerman and Hopper, Methods of landscape evaluation based on the infrastructure value (landscape as an element of the cultural-architectonical value) e.g. evaluation and valorization of landscape by means of assessing the value of object included in it, e.g. property, building structures, monuments; Methods of functional evaluation e.g. agricultural, forest, urban, etc.; Methods of evaluation of the photo-tonal value (colour range); Methods of landscape evaluation by means of selected statistical parameters (e.g.) basing on provisions of the fuzzy set theory for the value of space represented by the open space index, characterized by parameters of descriptive statistics. These methods will be presented using several examples of open space value estimation procedures in LandSat photos and DEM models from the region of Nigeria. The presentation will continue with selected methods being used for identifycation and determination of the range of uniform scenic value zones and transitional zones. Cartometric extractions of outlines of scenic units as basic fields of evaluation will be shown, types of landscape discussed and basic statistics describing its structure presented. The authors will also refer to the issues of limits of landscape use and their practical meaning, e.g. in tourist terms. At attempt of classification and valorization of separated fields has been presented, along with estimation of the level of their uniformity, rank and usability.

Opis:
Aim/purpose – This study examines the relationship between leverage and financial performance of Nigerian firms between the years 2007 and 2016. Design/methodology/approach – The study adopted ex-post facto research design to retrieve and study data for events which were already in existence. Inferential statistics adopted econometrics models with a concentration on panel data using regression analysis to achieve the three specific objectives of the study. The surrogates for the independent variable (financial leverage) were Debt Ratio (DR); Debt-Equity Ratio (DER); and Interest Cover Ratio (ICR) while Return on Capital Employed (ROCE), the only dependent variable, was used as financial performance proxy. Three control variables – Firm Size (SZ), Sales Growth (SG) and Growth in Gross Domestic Product (GGDP) were included in the model to capture other firms – specific and macroeconomic variables that may have an influence on the financial performance of the selected firms. Findings – The Random Effects Generalised Least Squares (REGLS) revealed a positive and significant effect between leverage (DR and DER) and ROCE (p < 0.05). However, ICR has a positive but insignificant effect on ROCE (p > 0.05). The outcome of the study was consistent with the Static trade-off theory of capital structure. Research implications/limitations – The study suggests that firms should continuously employ debt capital in order to benefit from available tax shields which ultimately enhance profitability. The limitation of the study is that only firms in the food and beverage sector in Nigerian business environment were covered by the study. Originality/value/contribution – The study contributed to the existing theory and literature by using empirical evidence from an emerging market to bridge the existing gap in knowledge of the effect of leverage on the performance of firms.

Opis:
Trade facilitation projects of UNCTAD abound in West Africa. However the implementation thereof has rested in the hands of private sponsored agencies working in the region .One of this includes Bordeless West Africa. Programmes has also been instituted to favour port to hinterland trade even though the implementation has been very poor. Proper implementation of trade facilitation programmes in the region thus require immense study of trade movements, supply chain analysis with a view to improving the logistics and transport components of the entire process. Given the above, it makes sense therefore to sensitize the human element components of the logistics sub sector who also are the drivers of the distribution networks in the region on trade facilitation best practices worldwide. With respect to the port sector, the subject of port regulation though new in Nigeria places emphasis on the knowledge sector. The role of the regulator here is to prevent the new oligopolistic ports from acts that reflects monopoly. In this perspective a study that will reduce the port operators monopolistic instincts becomes always necessary. In such a study the port operators will be made to present areas where they have actually adopted inclusiveness policies by outsourcing such activities as tug operations and similar contracts to local operators, in the presence of stakeholders. The other aspect of trade facilitation relative to ports has to do with the role of river ports on the facilitation of hinterland intermodal traffic flow. This aspect is currently referred to as regionalization. In this perspective the regulation of river ports when concessioned and desirable qualities that river port concessionaires should possess will come into play.

Opis:
Artykuł dotyczy tematu hisb utworzonych w północnej Nigerii po wprowadzeniu muzułmańskiego prawa karnego w 2000 roku. Główną rolą hisby jest zapewnianie przestrzegania szari’atu wśród muzułmanów oraz informowanie o naruszeniach prawa. Ich członkowie starają się egzekwować nowe zasady zachowania, np. dress code dla kobiet oraz prohibicję alkoholową. Próbuja również wprowadzać segregację płci w transporcie publicznym. Operacje przeprowadzane przez hisby wzbudzają kontrowersje. Dochodziło do wielu przypadków nadużyć ze strony hisb. Ich członkowie wykonywali chłostę podejrzanych zamiast oddawać ich w ręce policji oraz zmuszali kobiety do zsiadania z pojazdów prowadzonych przez mężczyzn. Artykuł prezentuje instytucję hisby jako ważny element profilaktyki społecznej i resocjalizacji w kontekście kulturowym współczesnej Nigerii.
The article discusses the phenomenon of hisbahs established in Northern Nigeria after the introduction of Sharia criminal law, in 2000. The main role of hisbah is to ensure the compliance with Sharia law among Muslims, and to report any breaches of law. Hisbah members’ aim is to enforce new rules of behaviour, e.g. a new dress code for women or alcohol prohibition. Moreover, they strive to impose sex segregation in public transport. Hisbah’s operations have sparked major controversies, with a number of abuse cases being reported. Instead of surrendering suspects to the police forces, Hisbah members ordered their punishment by caning. They also forced women to take vehicles with men drivers. The article presents the institution of hisbah as an important element of social prevention and rehabilitation in the cultural context of today’s Nigeria.

Opis:
Historically, campaigns are recognized as a vital part of electioneering since it contains the ideas that the candidate wants to share with the voters, especially regarding policy issues and the administration’s focus. It aims to get those who agree with their ideas to support them when running for a political position. The message often consists of several talking points about policy issues. However, a study of Nigeria’s situation, with specific reference to the 2015 Campaigns and Electioneering, revealed that the main content of campaigns was hate speeches. Therefore, this paper seeks to bring out the main issues of campaigns in Nigeria’s electoral system and why it has often led to electoral violence over the years. The qualitative method is used for this particular research. Data obtained from primary and secondary sources were deployed to carry out the study with an analytical and narrative historical approach. It includes historical, descriptive, and analytical approaches based on gathered evidence. This research’s primary source is based on field investigations conducted in the Nigerian area and surrounding territories. Among other things, the data collection process includes semi-structured interviews with selected individuals. The research also uses historical documents from the national archives, relying on previous research conducted on society, administrative development, and documentary data taken from newspaper accounts, diaries, letters, and verbal reports. This research’s position is that campaigns over the years in Nigeria, unlike what is obtainable in some parts of the world where policy issues form the backbone of campaign message have basically on persons, character assassination, violence, and abusive (hate) speeches. The paper argues that this campaign strategy often leads to electoral violence before, during, and after elections. The paper, therefore, concludes that only issue-based campaigns can guarantee peaceful and credible elections in Nigeria.

Opis:
Society and Art have variegated correlative relations in that the artist is, first and foremost, a member of a particular society. As such, his/her creative works are in the main influenced by the events of his/her immediate society or those of the societies that border the artist’s. Consequently, the Nigerian society has undergone different developmental stages, and in each era the fiction of the period reflects the dominant incidences of the period used in the work, no doubt, from the artist’s perception. Thus, throughout the development of the Nigerian society and the accompanying metamorphoses of its fiction, moderation has assumed metaphorical dimensions due to the fact that at every point two divergent views/forces are at “war” (and by decipherable African thought of obtaining peace through compromise) only a middle course can ensure peaceful co-existence. Hence, amidst the gargantuan religious strife in the contemporary Nigerian society Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie seems to have a solution with the suggestion of moderation in her debut narrative, Purple Hibiscus. This paper therefore, uses this novel of Adichie’s as a paradigm for the study of the exalted level to which artists have advanced moderation as a metaphor for the advancement of every society. The myriad vexing religious issues of the Nigerian society Adichie so aptly captures in Purple Hibiscus therefore, receive a treatment that one considers a model which is relevant for any developing society desirous of unity in diversity. null

Opis:
For long, the military was a cog in the wheel of democratic governance in Nigeria. Its intrusion into the politics of the nation resulted to its domination of the political space and imposition of arbitrary rule for an aggregate period of 29 years out of the nation’s 47 years of existence. The last disengagement of the military from politics was effected on 29, May 1999. The Fourth Republic was thus inaugurated, heralding yet another phase in the nation’s quest for democratic governance. The restoration of democratic rule was not achieved on a platter of gold. The military junta was subjected to intense domestic and international pressure. Along with myriad civil society groups, the church added its voice to the clamour for democracy. But inspite of its visible role in this struggle, the efforts of the church remain unsung. This study is intended partly as a redress for the marginal attention paid to the patriotic struggle of the church, but more significantly, it is an attempt to illuminate the increasing concern of the church with the secular welfare of its flock.

Opis:
The development of the Muslim society in Northern Nigeria is often seen as a constant struggle of “scripturalist” Islam against allegedly “non-Islamic” influences. A person’s claim to Islam can be challenged on various levels. The most serious is takfir, a declaration that the supposed Muslim is guilty of kufr or unbelief. Another form of condemnation is tabdi´, the accusation of bid’a or “reprehensible innovation”. The third form of condemnation, weaker than either takfir or tabdi´, is accusation of fisq, that is immorality or sin in matters of belief. The question “who is a Muslim” has been a central point of conflict in Nigeria for centuries. In this article, I have shown that the tension between orthodox theology and popular religion will not be easily resolved.

Opis:
Federalizm i stabilność polityczna to dwie koncepcje, które mają znaczenie dla wszystkich współczesnych społeczeństw. Federalizm promuje pluralizm i rozproszenie władzy, co jest korzystne dla wieloetnicznego społeczeństwa. Jednakże, w Nigerii praktykowanie federalizmu wywołało niekończące się napięcia wśród osób, społeczności i grup etnicznych. Niemniej jednak badanie ujęte w niniejszym artykule dowodzi, że zdrowy federalizm jest politycznym panaceum na przemoc na tle etnicznym, kryzys rządów i niestabilność polityczną w Nigerii. W artykule empirycznie zbadano związek między federalizmem a stabilnością polityczną w Nigerii. W artykule przyjęto opisowy i przypadkowy schemat badań, a także metodę ankiety. W badaniu wzięło udział łącznie 428 respondentów, zbadanych przy użyciu ustrukturyzowanego kwestionariusza. Dane analizowano przy użyciu korelacji iloczynu Pearsona i analizy regresji liniowej. Ustalenia ujawniły, że federalizm ma pozytywny i znaczący związek ze stabilnością polityczną w Nigerii przy R = .732, R2 = 614 przy p = 0,000. Wynik statystyczny pokazuje, że istnieje silny związek między federalizmem a stabilnością polityczną w Nigerii oraz, że federalizm stanowi 61,4% zmian stabilności politycznej w Nigerii. Wymagane wnioski i zalecenia zostały przedstawione w świetle ustaleń empirycznych i teoretycznych. federalizm, stabilność polityczna, demokracja, Nigeria

Niestety, mimo że Nigeria jest uważana za kraj mlekiem i miodem płynący, większość obywateli żyje w skrajnym ubóstwie. Nieprawidłowe polityki rozwojowe stosowane od 1999 r. doprowadziły kraj na skraj ruiny.

Opis:
Demokracja jako teoria, która ustanawia pewne podstawowe zasady, zgodnie z którymi należy prowadzić dobry rząd, niezależnie od jego formy, oferuje dobrą perspektywę osiągnięcia rozwoju narodowego szczególnie heterogenicznych społeczeństw. Wspólną cechą rządów demokratycznych jest nacisk na poprawę dobrobytu społeczno-gospodarczego ludzi, co jest równoznaczne z ideą rozwoju narodowego. Demokracja jest priorytetem na całym świecie, ponieważ zakłada się, że działa ona jak magiczna różdżka do skutecznego radzenia sobie z konfliktami. Nigeria nie ma jednak wielu dobrych doświadczeń z demokracją. Podczas gdy przemoc etnoreligijna jest powszechna w polityce, gospodarka pozostaje nękana skrajną biedą. Powszechne oczekiwania, że demokracja rozwiąże wszystkie te wyzwania, w dużej mierze nie zostały osiągnięte. Dlatego też niniejsze badanie dotyczyło wpływu demokracji na rozwój narodowy w Czwartej Republice Nigerii. Przyjęto metodę opisową, a dane przekrojowe zebrano w dwudziestu pięciu Jednostkach Samorządu Terytorialnego w stanie Delta za pomocą ustrukturyzowanego kwestionariusza, którym przebadano 400 respondentów. Zastosowano nieprobabilistyczne techniki próbkowania. Dane analizowano za pomocą analizy korelacji i regresji Pearsona. Wyniki badania ujawniły pozytywny i znaczący związek między demokracją a rozwojem narodowym w czwartej republice Nigerii. Dlatego zaleca się między innymi, aby przywódcy polityczni przestrzegali podstawowych zasad demokracji i konstytucjonalizmu, aby promować praworządność i wspierać rozwój narodowy.

Opis:
Abubakar Gumi (1922–1992) was one of the central personalities for the development of Islam in Northern Nigeria who devoted himself to work on the reform of the religion (tajdid). He was also very active in the issue of the political unity of Muslims. Gumi’s major religious goal was to eradicate all innovations (bid’a) and to purify the faith. The Sufi brotherhoods were in his eyes not only the agents of the bi’a, but also movements which blocked the unification of Muslims. On the basis of his anti-Sufi ideas, Abubakar Gumi was connected with other thinkers of the Islamic world, especially Sayyid Qutb, the most influential thinker of the Egyptian Muslim Brothers. Gumi’s concept of the reform was also deeply influenced by the Wahhabi ideology. The article is an attempt to present Gumi’s condemnation of the bid’a as it is reflected in his programmatic treatise Al-Aqida as-sahiha bi-muwafaqat al-shari’a (The Right Faith according to the prescriptions of the Shari’a). Some attention is also paid to Gumi’s educational efforts and his role as the leader of the most recent movement of tajdid among Muslims in Northern Nigeria.

Opis:
A palynological study of recent sediments from Ijora Creek, an Urban Creek in Lagos, Southwestern Nigeria was carried out to provide inferences on paleovegetation and climate change over time in the study area. Two stations 90m apart were sampled at low tide in a boat using a Russian peat corer. Samples were taken at 10cm intervals and eighteen sediments samples were collected and processed using standard palynological methods. Two hundred and sixty six (266) and two hundred and thirty three (231) palynomorphs were recovered from stations 1 and 2 respectively. Palynomorphs recovered and identified to species level include Alchornea cordifolia, Hymenocardia acida, Elaeis guineensis, Spathodea companulata, Triumfetta pentandra, Uapaca acuminata, Tridax procumbens, Berlinia sp., Eugenia sp., Celtis sp., Albizia sp., Cyperus sp. together with species of Poaceae, Asteraceae, Arecaceae, Eurphorbiaceae, Acanthaceae, with common microforaminiferal test linings and fungal spores. Poaceae and fungal spores dominated the assemblage while station 1 recorded the highest pollen and spore abundance. The presence of microforaminiferal wall linings, fungal spores and the freshwater swamp species Alchornea cordifolia and the oil palm pollen Elaeis guineensis suggests a dominantly wet period in which, there was a marked marine transgression into the creek, interrupted occasionally by dry climate as inferred from the abundant records of Poaceae and Asteraceae. The presence of secondary forest species especially Elaeis guineensis suggests the impact of human activities on the paleovegetation.

Opis:
This paper is an examination of the relationship between the citizenship question in the Nigerian state and the tendency that has been denoted as neobiafranism in the work. The study subsequently found that despite the constitutional provisions on citizenship in the Nigerian nation, the question of who is a citizen has continued to remain in empirical terms, unsatisfactorily answered. Furthermore, it was found that the tendencies that define citizenship in Nigeria are ambivalent and the predispositions that encumber the giving of serious attention to citizenship in the country consequently belong to leadership incapacities. This gives rise to the case of a state that has to remain united by compulsion. It is concluded in the paper that until the citizenship question is fully settled, the affairs of the Nigerian state will continue to oscillate between the incidences of grounded take-offs and only-hopeful landings.

The general objective of this paper is to conduct a post-mortem study of the Jonathan administration in Nigeria. The specific objective is to identify the aspects of the administration that facilitated the progress of democracy in the country (at this period). The study is significant because, the evidence of democratic progress in Nigeria, the most populous nation in Africa, would send strong signals (profound evidence) to despots in weak African democracies that after all, there are sound alternatives to despotic and malevolent governance-tendencies in such problematic polities. In such countries, coup plotting and other undemocratic practices are still highly attractive and the need for deterrence arises.

Field experiments were separately conducted from June to November, in year 2012 at the Research Farm, University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Nigeria and at a Farm in Ibi, Nigeria, to evaluate the effects of intra-row spacing of pearl millet and cropping systems on growth and yields of soybean-pearl millet intercrop, as well as assessing the yield advantages of the intercropping system. The experiment was a 2 x 4 factorial combination of treatments, fitted in a randomized complete block design (RCBD), with four replications. The cropping systems constitute the soles and the intercrop, while the intra-row spacing of pearl millet into soybean were at 15 cm, 20 cm, 25 cm and 30 cm. Results of study showed that sowing pearl millet into soybean at the intra-row spacing of 30 cm produced the highest pearl millet yields of 4.7 t ha-1 and 4.9 t ha-1 respectively, at Makurdi and Ibi locations, as well as producing the highest soybean yields at both locations. In Makurdi, intercropping pearl millet with soybean significantly (P ≤ 0.05) decreased yield of pearl millet by 32.4 % and that of soybean by 29.4 % compared to sole cropping of the component crops, while at Ibi, intercrop yields of pearl millet and soybean were respectively reduced by 35.9 % and 30.0 % compared to their sole yields. Sowing pearl millet into soybean at the intra-row spacing of 30 cm also gave the highest total intercrop yields, highest land equivalent coefficient (LEC) values, highest land equivalent ratio (LER) values of 2.97 and 2.71 and highest percentage (%) land saved (66.3 % and 63.1 % respectively, recorded at Makurdi and Ibi locations). The implication of study showed that it is most advantageous having both crops in intercrop when pearl millet was sown into soybean at the intra-row spacing of 30 cm. This should therefore, be recommended for the southern guinea savanna, Nigeria.

The study examined factors influencing the choice of climate change adaptation strategies among rural farming households in Lokoja Local Government Area, Kogi State, Nigeria. A total of 115 rural farmers constitute the sample size for this study. Descriptive and relevant inferential statistics such as multivariate probit model were used. The perceived effects of climate change in the study area were erosion/flooding, increase in rainfall, scarce of resources, increase in temperature, and increase in pest and disease infestation. The major adaptation strategies adopted by the  farmers in the study area were change in planting date (72.17%), change in harvesting date (67.83%), construction of drainage around homes/farms  (67.83%), income diversification (64.35%), and planting cover crops (58.26%). The result of the factors influencing choice of adaptation showed that gender, age, years of farming experience, access to credit, and training on climate change were the factors that influenced the choice of adaptation strategies in the study area. The major constraints to adoption of adaptation strategies in the study area were identified. The study concluded that selected socio-economic characteristics influenced the choice of rural farmers` adaptation strategies utilized in the study area. Government policies should be sensitive to support of trainings on climate change, education, credit access, farm size and household size

Introduction. Toxoplasmosis is a neglected parasitic infection that has economic and epidemiological significance. Data on toxoplasmosis seroprevalence among Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infected pregnant women may be of obstetric and neonatal concern. Aim. The study was designed to determine the seroprevalence of Toxoplasmosis and associated risk factors in HIV-positive pregnant women attending the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Abuja, Northcentral Nigeria. Material and methods. This was a hospital-based cross-sectional study. A total of 160 HIV seropositive pregnant women were recruited. Blood samples were collected and tested for anti-T. gondii IgM and IgG using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). Structured questionnaires were used to collate the sociodemographic variables of participants. Results. Out of the 160 of HIV seropositive pregnant women, the seroprevalence anti-T. gondii IgG and IgM were 29.4% and 4.4%, respectively. There was no significant association between anti-T. gondii and all sociodemographic variables studied (p>0.05). Conclusion. The overall result of this study revealed that the majority of pregnant women were exposed to toxoplasmosis much earlier in life. Hence, these findings will assist obstetricians and gynecologists in the early diagnosis and management of Toxoplasma gondii infection in pregnant women, especially HIV coinfected ones with IgM seropositivity.

The approaches to managing our road transportation infrastructure are not sustainable. A sustainable road transport infrastructure must meet the needs of present road users and give allowance to accommodate future developments. There is a gap between expected life span of roads in Nigeria and actual life span after putting the infrastructure into use. This paper examined the reasons government cannot repair roads in Nigeria, identify the challenges faced by the construction companies while on road construction projects and the effects of bad roads on national sustainable development. Ministry of Works and Transport, Ibadan and ad hoc staff of two major construction companies Reynolds Construction Company (RCC) and China Civil Engineering Construction Corporation (CCECC) were purposively selected based on the number of roads they have constructed in South-western Nigeria. Principal Component Analysis was used to identify the various factors that are responsible for the inability of government to construct and repair roads. Descriptive analysis was used to explain the challenges of construction companies and also the effects of bad road on national development. The findings identified 20 factors that are responsible for the inability of government to construct and maintain roads which were reduced into eight components. Some challenges in road construction are erosion, inadequate skilled labour, capital for equipment, funding, user’s problem and machinery repairs. The effects of bad roads include: road crashes (27%), high vehicle maintenance cost (21%), capital flight (17%), passengers’ discomfort (14%), high transportation cost (11%) and drivers’ fatigue (10%). The study concluded that, there should be standardized procedure for road construction projects in the form of: penalty for failure to meet the required deadline, quality, usage and rehabilitation in order to achieve sustainable development

Plastic pollution has emerged as a significant environmental and public health concern globally, with detrimental effects on ecosystems, human health, and socio-economic development. One way to a safer global environment is encouraging rural communities to manage solid waste and reduce plastic pollution. This study aims to explore the environmental governance and political economy of plastic pollution management in rural communities of Ogun State, Nigeria. By examining the interactions between governance structures, political actors, and socio-economic factors, the study seeks to provide insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with plastic waste management in rural areas. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection methods, to obtain comprehensive and detailed findings. The results of the study indicate divergent interests among stakeholders regarding the management of plastic pollution and environmental concerns in rural communities of the Ijebu region in Ogun State, Nigeria. The research emphasizes the importance of supporting community-led environmental initiatives that adhere to established environmental guidelines for effective solid waste management, with particular emphasis on plastic waste, in rural areas of Nigeria.

Opis:
This research reviews the geology, petrogenesis, compositional trends and geochronology of the rare-metal pegmatite of southwestern Nigeria. The source of these pegmatites is still presently debated which have been explained as either product of highly fractionated molten material or anatexis of the local crust. However, published works of past authors have been compiled to give a detailed understanding of the formation of the mineral deposits. The basement complex of southwestern Nigeria comprises of Precambrian rocks of amphibolite, the hornblende gneiss and the granite gneisses which were formed as a result of the opening and closing of the ensialic basin with significant, extensive subduction during the Pan-African orogeny. The pegmatites in this region have shown internal zoning and a high degree of evolution from the border zone to the core zone during the crystallization and solidification of the felsic granite to pegmatite melt. The rare-metal pegmatites have distinct chemical compositions and mineralogy, containing quartz, biotite, muscovite, microcline, garnet with localized tourmaline, tantalite and columbite. These pegmatites vary significantly by their bulk-rock and mineral chemistry which indicates a more peraluminous attribute and enrichments of lithophile elements of Rb, Cs, Ta and Ba. Previous K/Ar isotopic ages (502.8±13.0 Ma and 514.5±13.2 Ma) suggest that the pegmatites are related to the post-collisional phase of intensive metasomatism. Adopted from previous studies, a five-stage conceptual model of evolution which is widely accepted have been proposed for the origin of the pegmatites.

Opis:
The challenge of political instability in Nigeria has defied all solutions till date. The National Youth Service Scheme introduced in 1973 and the Federal Character principle entrenched in the Constitution since 1979, among others, have failed to engender peace and stability in the polity. Judging from this, this paper offers a possible explanation for the seeming failure of all efforts to combat the monster of political instability in Nigeria since independence. Given the fact that most Nigerian leaders and commoners alike are always quick in reverting to some proverbs to rationalize their actions or inactions; five of the most widely acclaimed causes of political instability in Nigeria were examined vis-à-vis some selected Yoruba proverbs. This was done against the backdrop of a Yoruba proverb: Owe lesin oro, oro lesin owe; b’oro ba sonu, owe la fi n waa. (“A proverb is like a horse: when the truth is missing, we use a proverb to find it”). A thorough analysis reveals that political instability in Nigeria has its philosophical foundations well entrenched in the spirit of selected Nigerian proverbs and concludes that political stability may continue to elude the country as long as citizens indulge in hiding under the cover of the letters and spirit of selected Nigerian proverbs to perpetrate evil in governance.

Over the years, sports have been used in the global world to integrate people of various cultures and have also been used as a unifying force to connect culturally diverse people. Sports, on the other hand, have also been used to drive the economic interests of state actors, since investments in the sports industry are worth billions of U.S. dollars. The size of the contemporary sports arena makes it a priority for state actors to use the instruments of foreign policy to promote their national interests. This paper therefore explores the sport and how it was used by state actors as a weapon to achieve their foreign policy objectives. The paper relied on a qualitative knowledge gauging process. The paper shows that the sporting arena is also a real space for the interplay of state interests. The paper advises that the condition of Nigeria needs to.

Opis:
Background and objectives: Disability is a major public health problem in the developing countries. Yet studies and census reports from developing countries provide insufficient information on disability profiles. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess occurrence, patterns and socio-demographic correlates of disability in selected rural settings in Nigeria. Materials and methods: This house to house cross-sectional survey was conducted among 200 residents in Moro and Edunabon communities in Ife North Local Government Area, Osun State, Nigeria. Disability was classified according to the World Health Organization International classification with criteria based on functional limitation. Households were considered as the Primary Sampling Unit (PSU) in this study. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for the analysis of the data obtained. The alpha level was set at p< 0.05. Results: The total occurrence of disability was 16%. Visual disability was the most prevalent (6%) and it was significantly associated with age (χ2=11.702; p= 0.010).  The recorded locomotor, mental, speech and hearing disabilities constituted 5%, 2%, 1% and 2% respectively of the total population surveyed. The overall occurrence was found to be higher among males and the middle-aged group (31-50) and significantly correlated with low socioeconomic status. There was a significant association between visual impairment and age (χ 2=11.702; p= 0.010); hearing disability and marital status (χ2=21.747; p= 0.003); as well as mental disability and marital status (χ2=21.747; p= 0.003). Conclusion: A high occurrence of disability was identified among rural residents in Nigeria, especially among males, those with low socio-economic status, those educated up to secondary school, unemployed and married partners. Visual disability, followed by locomotor disability, is the most common type. It is related to age, while marital status significantly correlates with hearing and mental disability.
