Full textAbstract:
Marriage has been defined as a voluntary union between a man and a woman or women (in the case of customary marriage) for life to the exclusion of any other. In other words, it is a legal union which exists between a man and a wife(s). The practice is acceptable world over and it is usually legally recognized. In Nigeria, though there exist a statutory marriage which is monogamous in nature but most prevalent is the customary marriage. This marriage is practiced among all the tribes in Nigeria despite the fact that there exist statutory marriages. One thing that is pertinent here is that the practice of customary marriage in Nigeria has violated the human rights of the couple especially the women. The women in Nigeria have not enjoyed their human rights in their customary marriage. This is due to certain customs and traditions that do not allow for such. Among the few are undue reliance on consent of their parents. Before a marriage can be contracted female genital mutilation, the corresponding rights to bring an action for dissolution of marriage if the other party commits adultery, etc. As a result of the above (and many others) Nigerian woman is deprived of her rights. This work seeks to examine these practices which stand as hindrances to the rights of a married woman in Nigeria and therefore suggests that Nigerian women should be allowed to enjoy her basic human rights (even as a married woman) just like her husband, also that the practices in other climes where women enjoy their human rights should be imbibed in Nigeria.

<em>The Boko Haram and the Niger Delta militancy today remain unarguably the greatest security threats to the corporate existence of the Nigerian state and her development. At the root of these insurgencies are socio-economic, ethno-political and religious challenges which are actually bye-products of a dysfunctional system. This research work examines the issues and challenges as it relates to the real test of Nigeria’s nationhood. The research work made use of content analysis through the use of books, newspapers, journal publications and available sources from the internet library. This is to give a deeper understanding of the issues that surround insurgency in Nigeria with a view of proffering solutions. The findings of this research work revealed that, lack of employment and equal opportunities especially for the youths of the minority tribes who make up the people of the Niger Delta region are seen as the root cause of agitations. Also, the findings disclosed poor and ineffective governance as responsible for the increased social and political uncertainties, rigidity and institutional failure. Issues such as religion, ethnicity, and regional sentiments were the real problems behind the violent conflict in Nigeria.</em>

Pluralism is a main feature of Nigeria as a country. There is ethnic pluralism.1 The pre-colonial Nigeria comprised of over 250 nation states embracing over 500 ethnic and linguistic groups.2 These ethnic groups spread across the three main geographical units in the country, namely, the north, the west, and the east. The north was dominated by the Hausa-Fulani and the Kanuri peoples, the west by the Yoruba speaking tribes, and the east by the Igbos.

The importance of individual culture depends on the characteristics of national culture and the individual’s background; within individual culture, different learning styles also exist. This paper addresses the topic of how learning style interacts with receptivity to online methods in different cultures, in this case in Nigeria. It examines and analyzes online learning environments in terms of differences in the learning styles of Nigeria university students according to their cultural backgrounds, specifically tribes, gender, and program of studies and how that can affect their online learning. The differences in tribes and learning styles affect the way the students respond to online learning. Despite the need for improvement, the future of online learning environments seems bright. The online instructor should try to offer learning activities that will appeal to the widest variety of learning styles possible. The ethnicity and cultural diversity of students needs to be considered in online systems design.

This paper presents the application of Gaussian blur filters and Support Vector Machine (SVM) techniques for greeting recognition among the Yoruba tribe of Nigeria. Existing efforts have considered different recognition gestures. However, tribal greeting postures or gestures recognition for the Nigerian geographical space has not been studied before. Some cultural gestures are not correctly identified by people of the same tribe, not to mention other people from different tribes, thereby posing a challenge of misinterpretation of meaning. Also, some cultural gestures are unknown to most people outside a tribe, which could also hinder human interaction; hence there is a need to automate the recognition of Nigerian tribal greeting gestures. This work hence develops a Gaussian Blur – SVM based system capable of recognizing the Yoruba tribe greeting postures for men and women. Videos of individuals performing various greeting gestures were collected and processed into image frames. The images were resized and a Gaussian blur filter was used to remove noise from them. This research used a moment-based feature extraction algorithm to extract shape features that were passed as input to SVM. SVM is exploited and trained to perform the greeting gesture recognition task to recognize two Nigerian tribe greeting postures. To confirm the robustness of the system, 20%, 25% and 30% of the dataset acquired from the preprocessed images were used to test the system. A recognition rate of 94% could be achieved when SVM is used, as shown by the result which invariably proves that the proposed method is efficient.

Purpose – Women owning a home may take various forms which may be one of the following: through development of land, buying a home or through inheritance. Meanwhile, in many countries and regions of Sub-Saharan African, women’s rights to land and the incidence of exercising rights have been eroded over time. The purpose of this paper is to examine the factors influencing women participation in home ownership in Nigeria with a view to improving housing provision. Design/methodology/approach – The study purposively administered 170 questionnaires to female staff of the Federal Polytechnic, Ede, Nigeria, who was the study population. This population was chosen because of the fact that the institution is owned by Federal Government, where Federal characters are well reflected. The population cut across major tribes in Nigeria. Both descriptive and inferential technique was used to analyze the data. Findings – The results revealed that income status, cultural norms/traditions, unemployment, structural inequalities have significant influence on the decisions of the women in the study area while tribes, age among others have no significant influence on women decision to own homes. Practical implications – The paper recommended that government should enact laws and policies in favor of women to own lands and develop it. Also there should be gender balance in employment opportunities. Originality/value – Women’s equal rights to adequate housing, land and property are well elaborated under international human rights law but are often elusive in practice. This paper empirically studied factors influencing women participation in home ownership in Nigeria.

Full textAbstract:
Nigeria, the Giant of Africa, has three big tribes: Yoruba, Igbo, and Hausa. It was a British colony which was amalgamated in 1914. The country became independent in 1962 and was right away bedeviled by military coups d’états and a bloody civil war (1967-1970). In 1999, the country experienced democratic dispensation. In the 1990s, the Nollywood nascent movie industry—following in the footpath of Hollywood and Bollywood—flourished. The movie industry grew thanks to four factors: Rapid urbanization; the hand-held video camera; the advent of satellite TV; and, the overseas migrations of Nigerians. Local languages are used in these films; however, English is the most prominent, along with Nigerian pidgin broken English. Many themes are treated in these films: tradition and customs, religion, witchcraft and sorcery, satire, urban and rural lives, wealth acquisition, consumerism, etc. I discuss the ways in which American popular culture is adopted in Nigeria and recreated on screen. Nigeria and USA share Federalism, the superlative mode, and gigantism (houses, cars, people, etc.), and many Nigerians attend American universities. In the final analysis, the arguments exposed in this paper highlight the multitude of ways in which Nigerians navigate the treacherous waters of modernity and globalization.

Full textAbstract:
This paper contextually analyzed three major tribes’ traditional conflict resolution mechanism in pre-literate Nigerian society. Conflict is very much part of human society and it is expected. Conflict resolution encompasses a range of processes gallantly aimed at alleviating or eliminating sources of conflict. Secondary sources of data with relevant literature were engaged and the Emile Durkheim theory of societal development was adopted as a theoretical framework. Findings show that in Yorubaland, conflict is seen as unavoidable, a positive development through which people understand each other better. While the main causes of conflict among the Igbos are basically land, chieftaincy tussle and matrimonial fallouts. Prior to kingship institution, the Igbo used non-centralized forms of government which have in attendance Elders and Council of Elders which serves as the highest and most important peacemaking and conflict resolution mechanism. Hausa/Fulani pre-colonial administration is highly centralized and hierarchical in nature. The Emir, in terms of adjudication, is both the political and religious head because he ensures that the provisions of Sharia are adequately followed to the core in treating cases of individual or group conflicts. The Emir court was the highest and the final. Having perused all the conflict resolution mechanisms of the three major tribes in Nigeria, the following recommendations were made; there is a need to encourage traditional conflict mechanisms as it is accessible and economic for disputants. There should be peace education for all and sundry. Alternative dispute resolution and unofficial strategies should be subscribed to in an attempt to ameliorate and manage human’s conflicts (vigilante, militias, charms, prayers, communal solidarity, etc). Keywords: Tribes, Traditional, Pre-illiterate, Conflict Resolution

Full textAbstract:
<p> This document examines the musical performance practices of the Igbo Jews of Abjua, Nigeria. Amongst the 50 million Igbo, an estimated 5,000 are currently practicing Judaism. Despite prior research conducted by Daniel Lis (2015), William Miles (2013), Shai Afsai (2013), Edith Bruder (2012), and Tudor Parfitt (2013), there is little to no discussion of the role of music in this community. This study of the musical practices of the Igbo Jews of Nigeria reveals that the Igbo combine traditional Nigerian practice with modern Jewish and Christian elements. This combination of practices has led to the development of new traditions in an effort to maintain a shared sense of individualized Jewish identity and unity in a time of persecution and violence towards the Igbo from terrorist organizations. This study demonstrates that the Igbo Jews view the creation of this new music as serving to rejuvenate their Jewish identity while preserving Igbo traditions. The analysis draws upon theories of Eric Hobsbawm, Philip Bohlman and Alejandro Madrid to explain Igbo practice. Data includes material gathered from fieldwork conducted in the summer of 2014 in Abuja and in the cities of Kubwa and Jikwoyi. My observations focused on the musical properties of the Shabbat prayers and <i>zmirot </i> (para-liturgical table songs). While the Igbo are often considered one of “the lost tribes of Israel,” my research indicates that “lost” is not so “lost” as previously believed.</p>

Introduction<p>Près de 842 millions de personnes dans le monde sont toujours sous- alimentées ou exposées à une insécurité alimentaire chronique. Or une consommation insuffisante en protéines et en calories, ainsi que les carences en micronutriments ont un impact majeur sur la morbidité et la mortalité, en particulier chez les enfants. On estime qu’entre 2000 et 2005 le nombre d’enfants présentant une insuffisance pondérale a augmenté dans la plupart des régions d’Afrique sub saharienne, alors qu’il diminuait dans toutes les autres régions en développement. Il est plus que nécessaire de chercher des solutions efficaces et économiquement adaptées pour la prise en charge de la malnutrition.<p>De nos jours, plusieurs ONG et associations humanitaires proposent la spiruline, comme «une solution efficace et durable aux problèmes de la malnutrition» et encouragent les projets de culture artisanale de spiruline dans le monde et particulièrement les pays en développement comme le Niger. Les effets bénéfiques attribués à la spiruline comme complément alimentaire dans la récupération nutritionnelle sont multiples: elle est considérée comme une cyanobactérie, riche en protéines, en acide gras, en minéraux, en vitamines et contient de la chlorophylle, des fibres et un pigment bleu (la phycocyanine).<p>L'objectif général de notre travail est d’étudier l’impact de la supplémentation en spiruline chez des enfants en malnutrition sévère lors de la récupération nutritionnelle.<p><p>Méthodologie<p>Ce travail a regroupé quatre types d’études:<p>• Une revue secondaire sur les données nutritionnelles issues des enquêtes démographiques et de santé au Niger et certaines enquêtes et rapports ponctuels sur la nutrition afin de déterminer l'évolution de la prévalence de la malnutrition des enfants de moins de 5 ans et d'identifier les facteurs déterminants de cette malnutrition;<p>• Une revue systématique/meta analyse des études sur la supplementation en spiruline en milieu hospitalier pour évaluer dans quelle mesure la spiruline utilisée comment supplément alimentaire a un effet bénéfique sur la réhabilitation nutritionnelle;<p>• Une étude d’observation à visée descriptive et analytique dans deux centres de récupération nutritionnelle intensive (CRENI) en milieu hospitalier au Niger ;<p>• Un essai clinique randomisé en double aveugle dans trois centres de récupération nutritionnelle afin d’étudier l'impact de la supplémentation en spiruline sur la mortalité, la morbidité, les mesures anthropométriques et les mesures biologiques d'enfants en malnutrition sévère hospitalisés dans des CRENI au Niger.<p><p>Résultats<p>La revue des données existantes sur la nutrition au Niger a montré que la prévalence de l’émaciation (Z-score poids/taille <-2)) des enfants a dépassé depuis 1992 le seuil critique de 10% défini par l'OMS, avec stagnation entre 1998 et 2000 et légère augmentation entre 2004 et 2005. La prévalence du retard de croissance staturale (Z-score taille/âge <-2) était en augmentation depuis 1992. Les facteurs identifiés, favorisant la malnutrition des enfants sont multiples: le niveau socio-économique bas des parents, les caractéristiques des enfants (sexe masculin, âge plus élevé), les pratiques alimentaires (non allaitement), les morbidités et les aléas climatiques.<p>Dans les centres de récupération nutritionnelle intensive (CRENI), Le marasme était le type de malnutrition le plus fréquent (68,7%). La mortalité était de 14,5% et le modèle de régression logistique montrait que le risque de décès était plus élevé chez les enfants de moins d’un an [(OR ajusté (IC 95%): 2,8 (1,9 – 5,8)] et chez ceux de périmètre brachial < 11,5 cm [1,5 (1,7 – 4,0)]. Les résultats ont montré que quand l’âge de l’enfant augmentait, le Z-score taille/âge diminuait en moyenne alors que le Z-score poids/taille augmentait. L’augmentation du nombre d’hospitalisations antérieures était associée à une diminution des Z-scores taille/âge et poids/âge. On observait également que le Z-score poids/taille était significativement plus bas chez les garçons et chez les mères avec BMI de < 18,5 kg/m². La prise en charge médicale et diététique dans ces CRENI avait permis un gain de poids moyen de 12,9g/kg/j.<p>En se référant aux normes OMS, les apports énergétiques apportés par les aliments utilisés ne permettaient pas de couvrir les besoins des enfants en récupération. Les types d’aliments utilisés étaient le lait thérapeutique F100 et une farine de mil fabriqué localement « vitamil ». <p>La supplémentation en spiruline chez des sujets malnutris a été étudiée par certains auteurs.<p>La revue de 7 études (3 essais contrôlés randomisés et 4 essais non contrôlés) a permis de constater que la supplémentation en spiruline avait un effet positif sur un certain nombre de paramètres comme le poids, le périmètre brachial, la taille, l’albumine, le pré albumine, les protides et l’hémoglobine. Cependant, il faut noter que ces études n’avaient pas le même protocole et n’étaient pas homogènes, Une méta analyse ne permettait pas alors d’avoir des résultats fiables.<p>L’essai clinique randomisé en double aveugle de supplémentation en spiruline chez des enfants en malnutrition sévère a donné les résultats suivants :<p>La proportion de décès était de 8,5% dans le groupe spiruline et 13,5% dans le groupe placebo, mais la différence n'était pas significative (P = 0,12). Néanmoins la survie étaitµ meilleure dans le groupe spiruline et la durée de la diarrhée était significativement réduite par la supplémentation en spiruline.<p>La durée médiane d'hospitalisation était significativement inférieure dans le groupe spiruline: Med (min - max): 16 (8 - 51) par rapport au groupe placebo: Med (min - max): 23 (7 - 60) (P Log Rank < 0,001). La fonte des oedèmes était significativement plus rapide dans le groupe spiruline: Med (min - max): 5 (3 - 12) versus Med (min - max): 6 (1 - 21) dans le groupe placebo (P Log Rank = 0,05). Les effets de la suppléméntation en spiruline sont plus importants sur le gain pondéral moyen (p<0,001) et le gain en périmètre brachial (p<0,001) que sur le gain statural (NS).<p> L’effet de la spiruline semble être minime sur l’évolution du taux d’albumine (proportion d’enfants dont le taux s’était normalisé :15,7% groupe spiruline versus 11,2% groupe placebo (NS), mais plus efficace sur le taux des enfants ayant présenté des oedèmes à l’admission. L’évolution du taux d’hémoglobine était statistiquement meilleure dans le groupe spiruline (proportion d’enfants dont le taux s’était normalisé :44,9% versus 33,3% groupe placebo, P = 0,010) particulièrement chez les enfants de moins de 24 mois. Les gains d’albumine et d’hémoglobine n’étaient pas corrélés au gain du poids.<p>Cet essai a montré que les densités parasitaires (plasmoduim falciparum) sanguines à l’admission à J3 et à J7, ne différaient pas de façon significative entre le groupe spiruline et le groupe placebo. Les enfants admis avec toux et diarrhée guérissaient plus rapidement dans le groupe spiruline que dans le groupe placebo. Le gain de poids à la sortie d’hospitalisation était meilleur dans le groupe spiruline chez les enfants VIH positif.

En 2015, Epicentre, un centre de recherche épidémiologique crée en 1987 par l'ONG humanitaire Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) se lance dans un essai clinique randomisé sur un nouveau vaccin contre les formes sévères de diarrhées des enfants de moins de cinq ans. Il est produit par le Serum Institute Of India Limited (entreprise pharmaceutique indienne). L'essai est conduit à Madarounfa, une localité rurale située dans le Sud du Niger. Cette thèse propose de discuter des dimensions globales et des enjeux locaux autour d'un vaccin, le Rotasiil que l'on peut définir comme « un vaccin africain » si l'on tient compte de la façon dont il est présenté et promu par le Serum Institute, MSF et Epicentre. Cet essai vaccinal sur le Rotasiil témoigne de l'utopie des acteurs de la santé globale qui veut que la technologie et la toute-puissance de la médecine puisse venir à bout des maladies en occultant le contexte de violence structurelle dans lequel leur intervention prend place (Farmer 2002; Farmer 2002; Galtung and Hoivik 1971). Il témoigne également de l'émergence de nouveaux acteurs (ONG et industries) dans le champ des politiques de santé mondiale. Cette thèse s'intéresse également à la science « en train de se faire » et analyse les conditions sociales de collecte des échantillons, de leur analyse au laboratoire jusqu'à l'inscription des résultats dans une base de données. Elle décrit également les ajustements et les négociations à l'œuvre dans l'application des « gold standard » des essais cliniques qui se heurtent au contexte interactionnel de leur mise en œuvre (Brives, Le Marcis, and Sanabria 2016)<br>In 2015, Epicentre, an epidemiological research center created in 1987 by the humanitarian NGO Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), will begin a randomised clinical trial of a new vaccine against severe forms of diarrhoea in children under five years of age. It is produced by the Serum Institute Of lndia Limited (an Indian pharmaceutical company). The trial is being conducted in Madarounfa, a rural community in southem Niger. This thesis proposes to discuss the global dimensions and local issues surrounding a vaccine, Rotasiil which can be defined as "an African vaccine" if on considers the way it is presented and promoted by the Serwn Institute, MSF, and Epicentre. The Rotasiil vaccine trial is testament to the utopia of global health actors that technology and the omnipotence of medicine can defeat disease b obscuring the context of structural violence in which their intervention takes place (Farmer 2002; Farmer 2002; Galtun · and Hôivik 1971). It also testifies to the emergence of new actors (NGOs and industries) in the field of global healt policies (Bertho-Huidal 2012). This thesis is also interested in the science "in the making" and analyses the social conditions of sample collection, from their analysis in the laboratory to the entry of the results in a database. It ais describes the adjustrnents and negotiations at work in the application of the "gold standard" of clinical trials that are confronted with the interactional context of their implementation (Brives, Le Marcis, and Sanabria 2016)

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Citizens of developing countries are often in vulnerable situations because of illiteracy, unfamiliarity with medical interventions, effects of war resulting in famine, and extreme poverty. The health-related conditions that arise out of these situations however make research in these populations vital and increasing funding for research on diseases that affect the world 's poor is making such research possible. The resulting tension between the need for research and the possibility of exploitation of participants' vulnerability, mandates the development of reliable ways of ensuring that participants' consent is voluntary, adequately informed and well understood. The Nuremberg Code emphasises the requirement of voluntariness in informed consent by insisting that participants should be able to exercise freedom of choice without the intervention of any element of force, fraud , deceit, duress, or other forms of constraint
or coercion. Aim: This study assessed research participants' understanding and voluntariness of informed consent in a clinical trial. Methods: The study design was a cross-sectional analysis of the informed consent process. It consisted of qualitative and quantitative components. It was a cross-sectional survey of 75 research participants in a malaria clinical trial using questionnaires in the from of forced-choice check lists and patient self-report to assess voluntariness and understanding of informed consent. Data were analysed using SPSS V 17. Results: All the respondents involved in the clinical trial gave consent before they were recruited. The reasons for consenting to participate in the clinical trial ranged from the
opportunity to get treatment (28%), opportunity for diagnosis of ailments (32%), to prevent illness (36%) and to receive information about medical care (4%). The major benefits participants attributed to taking part in the research were the opportunity to obtain treatment (59%), diagnostic tests (35%) and education (6%). Among the research participants, 10.7% believed that they should be paid for participation and about 8% felt that payment could influence their decision to participate because it could act as a motivation. They could however not proffer an amount that they would consider significant enough to influence their decision. There was no significant association between factors that influenced participation and age (p=0.533), sex (p=0.342), education (p=0.078), religion (p=0.144) and marital status (p=0.239). Almost all (98.7%)
participants claimed that they had understood the information given to them during the consent procedure and they all gave consent without consulting anybody apart from the medical personnel.The majority of respondents - 74 (98.7%) - stated that they were not allowed to go home with the informed consent document, while 1(1 .3%) of the respondents said there was no need to go home with the informed consent document. In the assessment of understanding using the forced-choice checklist, however, only 37% understood issues concerning randomization of participants and only 28.8% understood issues about compensation for research related injury. Discussion and Conclusion: In this study, the voluntariness of participants was influenced by factors related to the benefits accrued through participation. The need for
participants to make free and informed choices based on adequate information given by the investigator cannot but be emphasized as a right and not a privilege. In light of the limited understanding about randomization and injury compensation identified in this study, there is a need for additional protection of vulnerable populations. This could be in the form of allowing adequate time to enable the improvement of participants' understanding of the consent form, using innovative ways of explaining complex concepts such as randomization, and providing the necessary support to facilitate participants' right to self-decision, except when they are incapable of consenting.<br>Thesis (M.Soc.Sc.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2012.

AbstractEnvironmental degradation, soil erosion, and desertification are some of the consequences of high rate of traditional biomass fuel use by households in developing countries. The critical issues to raise here are how can these households be encouraged to change their energy consumption behavior? What are the factors that cause the rampant use of biomass fuel in developing countries? How and to what extent can these factors be manipulated so that households in developing countries are encouraged to adopt clean energy fuel an alternative to the most widely used biomass fuel? Therefore, this chapter tries to find answer to the above questions raised, by carrying out an in depth analysis of households’ use of biomass fuel in developing countries using Bauchi State, Nigeria, as the case study. Cluster area sampling technique was utilized to generate the various responses, where a total number of 539 respondents were analyzed. The study estimated ordered logit model to analyze the factors that influence the movement of households along the energy ladder from nonclean energy to the cleaner energy. Furthermore, Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) model was estimated to analyze the impacts of socio-economic, residential, and environmental factors on biomass energy consumption. It was found that age of the household head and his level of education, income, living in urban areas, home ownership, and hours of electricity supply have positive and significant impact on household energy switching from traditional biomass energy use to the cleaner energy. Therefore, policies that will enhance household income and the increase in the availability of cheap cleaner energy will encourage households switching to cleaner energy sources thereby reducing the level of environmental pollution in the study area.

Full textAbstract:
One of the common explanations for the expansion of Boko Haram in Lake Chad Basin is to consider that it has been fostered by the links between the jihadist movement and Kanuris. Indeed, the area of this insurgency largely covers the historical settlement area of Kanuris between northeastern Nigeria, the far-north of Cameroon and southeastern of Niger. Many Boko Haram supporters are from Kanuri populations. Yet many victims of this insurgency also belong to this community. Based on observations made in the far-north of Cameroon, this chapter calls into question the primacy of community ties in the diffusion of Boko Haram. It highlights the ability of the jihadist movement to undermine the tribal system upon which the state has always based its local domination. In particular, it shows how Boko Haram, whose social base is in reality trans-communal, has been able to take advantage of inequalities and divisions within tribes to create links stronger than community ties. This has taken place in a context of contestation of state and community elites by the marginalized peoples living in these border areas.

Full textAbstract:
The Nigerian indigenous chickens (NICs) are a critical component of the global animal genetic resources. They are distributed in rural areas, kept by the majority of the rural poor. They constitute different strains, or ecotypes local to tribes, regions, or ecological zones and are valued for their disease resistance, adaptation, and yield of valuable products and income on marginal inputs making them a low risk species. They are hence a unique and vital genetic resource and gene pool for present and long-term genetic improvement and human need for food and sustenance. The NIC is however; threatened by extinction owing to neglect, negative selection, breed substitution, and genetic introgression. There is need to draw research and policy attention to the conservation of NICs in accord with the global effort for the conservation of indigenous chickens which is probably the most neglected among farm animal species. The present review therefore, focuses on the physical and performance characteristics, genetic diversity and improvement, utilization and conservation of NIC genetic resources.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores the western reaction to Amina Lawal’s case. It outlines how famous western leaders, from Nicolas Sarkozy to Bill Clinton to Oprah Winfrey treated this case, and critically examines western non-governmental organizations’ responses. The chapter also examines how difficult it can be to discuss how Nigerian women feel about shar’iah, if their views are negative, in western scholarly discourses that are understandably concerned about the damage done by “imperial feminism.” This chapter tries to unearth Nigerian women’s voices in as authentic a way as possible, and provides two visions of gender rights in Northern Nigeria: that of Northern Nigerian historian Ibraheem Sulaiman and Northern Nigerian journalist, the late Balkisu Yusuf. The chapter ends with a short conclusion.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter is a step by step recounting of the trials and appeals of Amina Lawal from 2002-2003. The chapter analyzes the form and substance of both the prosecution’s and the defense’s arguments. It also focuses on legal education in Northern Nigeria and traces changes to the Nigerian penal code brought forth by the colonial encounter. Such changes include the use of the Nigerian constitution in an Islamic trial and eschewing jurisprudential arguments for arguments that eminate from primary texts, a practice that I call indicative of “post-modern shar’iah.” The chapter further expands on the concept of “legal warfare” initiated by the British against Islamic law.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In this study, a simpler numerical model for calculating inter-well distance was developed. This model was developed as an alternative to the Ei-function used for computing pressure drops. The mainobjective of developing this model is tomake resolution of pilfering issues easyto resolve. With the developed model, calculations relating to pressure drops and more specifically, inter-well distance, can be done with greater ease and accuracy. In developing this model, the integral equation of the Eifunction in the pressure drop equation was solved numerically. The numerical solution reduced thepressure drop equation to a polynomial equation which is much easier to solve. The developed model was used to solve real problems. Results generated from it were compared with those obtained using previous approaches. Important informationsuch as well configuration, region of the reservoir, and transient history wherethe work is valid are stated. The development of the correlations and tables forthe range of validity and values of the Ei-function is a major quantum leap in well testing and analysis. It will be quite cumbersome to resolve integrals with unknowns, hence, methods of trials and errors have been resorted to over the years. However, this new approach resolved the pressure drop equation into a systemof polynomials which is much easier to solve. Consequently, the distance betweenpossibly interfering wells (which is an important variable during interference test) can now be gotten with ease. The developed model is valid within the range of validity of the Ei-function. Without doubt, this work will help redefine the pressure drop equation into a polynomial equation which can easily be resolved using any of the known approaches to solving problems involving polynomials. More so, getting the correct distance betweenthe two wells in question is pivotal to the test. With the model developed in this work, getting inter-well distance is now easier and more accurate.

The article examines the negative impact of the Libyan crisis on European and African countries. The author notes that the main problem facing the EU is the illegal migration of Africans, which does not decrease even when implementing joint missions and programs. In turn, the chaos in Libya is played out differently on its neighbors. Countries such as Algeria and Egypt have tried to strengthen their borders, while Tunisia, Chad, Niger and Sudan have tried to adapt to current challenges.

Full textAbstract:
This study tested the attributes of the theory of diffusion of innovation empirically, using Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) as the target innovation. The study was situated in Jos, Plateau state, Nigeria. The population comprised banks customers in Jos who used ATMs. The sampling frame technique was applied, and 14 banks that had deployed ATMs were selected. Cluster sampling was employed to select respondents for the study. Data collection instrument was a structured questionnaire administered to 600 respondents of which 428 were returned giving 71.3% return rate. Principal Factor Analysis, and Multiple Regression were the analytical techniques used. The demographic characteristics of the respondents revealed that most of them were students and youths. From the factor analysis, it was revealed that the respondents believed in their safety in using ATM; that ATMs were quite easy to use and fit in with their way of life; that what they observed about ATMs convinced them to use it and that ATM was tried out before they use it. The constructs Relative Advantage, Complexity, Compatibility, and Trialability were all found to have a significant impact on the Attitude towards ATM, which in turn had a significant impact on the Intention to use it. Relative Advantage and Compatibility had almost the same weight of impact on Attitude; while Observability had the highest impact on attitude. To increase the diffusion of ATMs, it was recommended that banks should ensure enhanced salience of ATM to customers’ needs, greater compatibility of ATM to customers banking norms and lifestyle, less complex and easy to use system and opportunity for adopters to experiment with the system before using ATMs.
