Mobilising Social Actors for Action in the Campaign Speech of President Paul Biya to the Population of the Far-North Region 29 September 2018
Joefrey Ngha Fuh Nji, PhD – July 2020 Page No.: 01-06
This paper seeks to investigate how Paul Biya uses langauge to galvanise social actors in his campaign speech to the population of the Far-North Region, to mobilise them for action during the Presidential elections on the 7th of October 2018. In this speech he makes use of praise and promise listing, nomination strategies and anthroponym to ignite hope in the people so that they can give him the necessary support on the election day. He sounds more inclusive in his discourse as realised by the use of the pronouns ‘You’, ‘We’ and ‘Us’. Meanwhile to a larger extent it is the personal pronoun ‘I’, and ‘Me’ that predominates. The discourses were mostly focused on development and revamping the area in the economic domain. The results have equally proven that Paul Biya in this campaign speech like in his end of year speeches and February 10th address to the youth is usually replete of praise and promise listing which leaves much to be desired.

Scaffolding EFL Teachers’ Black Box: Towards a Theoretical Framework of EFL Teachers’ Reading Knowledge
Salah Troudi, Emna Maazoun Zayani – July 2020 Page No.: 07-15
This paper presents an instructional framework for EFL teachers’ knowledge about reading instruction. Grounded in theories of EFL instruction, mainstream, critical literacies and EFL theories of teachers’ knowledge base, the proposed framework provides several dimensions that illustrate the core knowledge base system of an EFL teacher while teaching reading. This framework is meant to boost the understanding of the components of the knowledge that they should acquire. This paper focuses on the idea that EFL teachers are “lifelong learners by nature” (Troudi, 2009: 64). Therefore, it is meant to inform EFL teachers’ pre-service training, in-service practice, and post-service – reflection.

Regional Trade and Economic Growth in West Africa
Ugochukwu Samuel Osisioma – July 2020 – Page No.: 16-20
This study examines the potential of regional trade in facilitating the achievement of inclusive development in the West African region. It employs straightforward analysis to examine the nature, composition and dimension of ECOWAS trade within the group and with the rest of the world, vis-à-vis three other Regional Economic Communities (RECs) in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). From the preliminary study, it can be observed that the growth rate of West African economies is increasing, but the rising economic growth does not translate to improvement in inclusive development, as there was no significant reduction in poverty levels in the region. Further evidence reveals that extra-regional trade of the region is increasing at a very high rate, and also at a disproportionate rate with intra-regional trade, compared with SADC. This indicates the existence of opportunity to boost regional trade for inclusive development through conversion of part of the extra-regional trade into regional trade. However, the study further finds that the region’s exports is dominated by mineral fuels, lubricants and related materials, and imports dominated by machinery, transport equipment, manufactured goods and chemicals, which implies that skilled technical manpower in the manufacturing sector must be available to effectively exploit the opportunity of trade for inclusive development in the region. Thus, the study concludes that, with the shortage of skilled technical manpower to boost the manufacturing sector in the region, achieving inclusive development in West Africa through regional trade might be difficult. It however recommends that West African countries should intensify investment in human capital development and re-invigorate their commitment towards regional industrial policy to foster higher regional trade and enhance inclusive development in the region

Regional Threat to Security in West and Central Africa
Ugochukwu Samuel Osisioma – July 2020 Page No.: 21-26
This study addressed regionalism and the search for solutions to common security challenges in West and Central Africa. It specifically used ECOWAS and ECCAS regional bodies as case studies. Insecurity occasioned by Trans border crime, drug trafficking and terrorism among others are dominant issues in Africa. Both regional bodies have put in place numerous measures to check and control the concomitants crisis in the two regions. Inspite of the effort of regional bodies, insecurity still persist in West and Central Africa, as cases of Fulani and banditry are common issues ravaging Northern Nigeria, while kidnappings were rampant in the south. In central Africa, cases of insecurity were also rampant. This study compares strategies adopted by the two regional bodies to reducing the burden in the regions. The methodology stems from informational gathering and secondary materials. The study provides possible recommendations on ways in which conflict can be reduce in Africa.

Comparative Analysis of Agricultural Policies and Farming Co-Operatives in Eastern and Southern Province of Zambia, 1947-64
Martin Chabu – July 2020 – Page No.: 32-52
This study examines a comparative analysis of agricultural policy on the farming co-operatives in Eastern and Southern Province of Zambia, 1947-64. It does this by assessing factors influencing formation of co-operatives in colonial government of Northern Rhodesia (Zambia) and why it was important and necessary to have co-operatives for marketing African produce. This study further brings out the contributions and impact of co-operatives had on the peasant economy and the nation at large in promoting food security. It also reviews challenges that co-operatives encountered in its quest of promoting rural development. Data was collected by means of a qualitative approach using unpublished, published and oral sources which were also consulted. The findings were analyzed strongly and points to the important role that farming co-operatives societies have played on agricultural development in rural areas. This is clearly reflected in the differential performance in farming co-operative activities and the socio-economic attributes of members and non-members. The results indicated a marked difference among categories in terms of access to agriculture inputs, knowledge, and technology acquisition of material. There was an advantage in the membership of the co-operative than non-members and this boosted agricultural development thereby, offering a viable channel to peasants to come out of vicious cycle of rural poverty.

Exploring the Nature and Methods of Orientation and Mobility Taught to Learners with Visual Impairments at Magwero School for the Blind in Eastern Province of Zambia
Martin Chabu, Banda Doreen M – July 2020 Page No.: 53-67
The objectives of the study were to ascertain the method and resources used in the teaching of orientation and mobility to the learners with visual impairments and establish challenges encountered in teaching of Orientation and Mobility skills and determine measures that can be put in place when teaching orientation and mobility to learners with visual impairment.
The sample size included five (5) special education teachers, three (3) School Administrators and five (5) visually impaired learners. The sampling techniques that were used to select the participants were random sampling of which administrators were picked at and purposive sampling technique that was used to pick teachers and VI learners. Random sampling was used in order to avoid biasness and Purposive sampling was used because the results of purposive sampling are usually more accurate than those achieved with an alternative form of sampling. The research design for this study was a Case study. With regard to data collection instruments, the study used self-administered structured interviews and observation checklist to find out the teaching of Orientation and Mobility Skills to learners with Visual Impairments. The data collected in this study was analysed using both qualitative and quantitative methods.
The study found that meeting the unique needs of children with Visual Impairment still continues to be a challenge at Magwero School for the Blind. Children with Visual Impairment face a lot of challenges in mobility which includes; failure to implement O and M Skills effectively which was attributed to shortage of qualified O and M specialist teachers, lack of materials to use, lack of parental involvement, wrong methods used in teaching O and M and generally lack of policy implementation by the Ministry of Education Science, Vocational Training and Early Education (MESVTEE).
In view of these findings, the study recommended that the Ministry of Education should train and employ more specialists’ teachers who are qualified to deliver and meet the needs of children with Visual Impairment and that Curriculum Development Centre (CDC), should design an orientation and mobility syllabus to help learners reach their potential in Orientation and Mobility Skills and other functional areas such as Independent Living.

Is Life Worth Living? Fixtures And Prevalence of Emile Durkheim’s Typology in Online Reported Suicides in Nigeria – Implications for Policy
Ekpechu, Joseph Ogbonnaya Alo (PhD) – July 2020 Page No.: 68-74
This study examined online reported suicides in Nigeria in order to find out the prevalence rate of each of the Emile Durkheim’s types of suicide in the country. Historical research design was used to examine online reported suicides in the country from 2009 to 2018. It was found among other things that Durkheim’s egoistic suicide (n = 9), altruistic suicide (n = 376), anomic suicide (n = 3) and fatalistic suicide (n = 3) fitted into the recurring incidences of suicides in the country (N = 391). Policy should target the control of incidences of altruistic suicide in the country. It was concluded that the most prevalent form of suicide was altruistic suicide.

Child Abuse Types and Manners: It’s Negativity on The Globe
Barr. (Mrs.) Mary L. Effiong, Ph.D., Edidiong Ime Inyang – July 2020 Page No.: 75-86
I. INTRODUCTION
In earnest, children’s maltreatments from parents/caregiver were generally accepted all over the world for centuries perhaps because under English Common Law, children were seen as the sole property of the parents, as such, could enjoy especially fathers, limitless latitude of decisions over penalties/sanctions to be declared on the Child until 1870s, when an eight year old New York orphan, by name Mary Ellen Wilson protested over what she viewed as maltreatment. In fact, American colonies even incorporated same practice into their early Laws in the United State. Until then, animals were more valued and appreciated than children because of American Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animal (ASPCA) law. But from the intervention of attorney for the ASPCA, the judge having listened to the evidence of maltreatment in form of frequent beating, wrongful locking in bedroom and of been asked to lie on the bare floor from Mr. Conollys who happens to be Mary’s foster father. Charging them of Assault and Battery, sentenced her fostered mother of a year imprisonment with hard Labour. Then it significant alongside with the publicity of Wilson’s case, led to the establishment of New York Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Then come the following year, the Legislature passed a statute that authorized such society to file complaints of child abuse with law enforcement agencies. From that period henceforth, children’s welfare became a thing of concerned to all. First of such is the article from Dr. Henry Kemp in the journal of American Medical Association.

Innovative Library Services (ILS) in Nigeria: Challenges and Way forward
Etebu, Abraham Tabor (Ph.D, CLN, MNLA), Zacchaeus, Choice Meniwoze(CLN) – July 2020 Page No.: 87-94
This study looked at innovative library services (ILS) in the Nigerian context through different ways such as online business support service for starts-up; web design services; blogging service; podcasting service; electronic publishing services; online information search service; short message alerts services; online training and workshops; digital references services; database production/distribution services; online entertainment services; mobile application services and digital marketing service. Data analysis was done using frequency count, percentages, Likert Scale presented in tabular format, mean and standard deviation. Using the four-point Likert type scale, a midpoint mean (criterion Mean) of 2.5 was established and accepted as a positive response point. Inadequate funding, inadequate deployment of ICT infrastructure and resistance to change were some of the challenges identified as hindrances to ILS, while risk taking, collaboration, adequate funding, were some of the way forward found out. The study concluded and recommended that government should strive to adequately fund libraries and provide required ICT infrastructures to boost ILS in Nigeria effectively.

Delinquency in Urban Kenya Secondary Schools: Implications for Parenting
Dr Scolastica Kariuki-Githinji – July 2020 Page No.: 95-101
Adolescents’ delinquency is on the rise in Kenya, yet most of the studies in Kenya have focused on status finding than alleviating the problem among adolescents. This paper is a presentation of the findings on prevalence of adolescents’ delinquency in urban Kenya secondary schools and the implications for parenting. A study was carried out to determine the links between parental behaviors and adolescents’ delinquency with a view to mitigating the parental behaviors associated with teenagers’ anti-social. The research was informed by Baumrind Parenting models theory, Social Control theory and Ego identity versus Role Confusion theory. The study participants comprised 219 female and 191 male students selected through stratified and simple random sampling techniques. The researcher employed self-designed questionnaire and a self-report behavior checklist to gather data which measured adolescents’ perceptions of parents’ behaviors and their delinquent behaviors. A correlational survey design was employed. Parental conflicts significantly positively linked to adolescent non-illegal and generalized delinquency, while parental increased alcohol use positively related to non-illegal and minor-illegal delinquent behaviors at p < .01 (two tailed test). Parenting training, adolescents counselling and behavior surveillance in schools were recommended.

A Meta-Analysis on Effects of Mastery Learning Strategy (MLS) on Academic Achievements of Learners
David Arhin, Winifred Bonsu Opoku – July 2020 Page No.: 102-106
The study sought to analyze previous studies on effects of MLS on academic achievements between 2008 and 2020 in connection to purposes, methodologies and findings/recommendations. At the initial stage, we access 13articles electronically for reading purpose yet selected seven for the purpose of meta-analysis. All the studies deployed quantitative method design specifically experimental design. The study revealed and concluded that, MLS has positive effects on learners’ academic achievements and that the empirical evidence from this study warrants a generalization without hesitation. It was also revealed and concluded that, large amount of studies on effects of MLS on academic achievements deployed experimental design. Finally, it was revealed and concluded that, majority of the researchers who have conducted studies into effects of MLS on academic achievements used self-developed tests which have their items validated by experts and also their reliability been estimated with cronbach alpha or test re-test methods. Based on the conclusions, we recommended that teachers and educationalists should embrace the use of MLS. Again, it was suggested to future researchers who deem to replicate a study on effects of MLS on academic achievements should deployed mixed method design in order to assess the qualitative aspect of the purpose of the studies under this meta-analysis. Finally, it was suggested to future researchers to validate their test items or either adopt or adapt test items used by scholars.

“Impact of Selected Macroeconomic Variables on Stock Market Development and Banking System Liquidity in Nigeria
Anthony E. Ageme- July 2020 Page No.: 107-112
The main goal of this paper is to examine the impact of selected macroeconomic variables on stock market development and banking system liquidity in Nigeria using annualised data from 1986 to 2018. The error correction model was applied in estimating our model while the Johansen cointegration test was employed to determine if cointegrating relationships exist among our variables. We found that inflation, real interest rate and exchange rate had negative impact on stock market development while broad money supply was positively related to stock market development. On the other hand, inflation was found to negative impact on banking system liquidity whereas broad money supply, real interest rate and exchange rate had positive impact on banking system liquidity. We therefore conclude that inflation hinders stock market development and the liquidity of the banking system while broad money supply stimulates both indices. Moreover, while real interest rate and exchange rate were negatively related to stock market development, they were found to be positively associated with the banking system liquidity during the sample period. We recommend that sound monetary policy action is crucial to the growth of the Nigerian stock market as well is the liquidity of the Nigerian banking system. The estimation results further revealed that divergence from long-run equilibrium was being corrected at the speed of 68.34% annually. The results of Johansen indicators cointegration test showed that long-run relationships exist between stock market development, banking system liquidity and the selected macroeconomic variables.

Jacob Manu, PhD, Eric Twum Ampofo, Robert Ampomah – July 2020 Page No.: 122-127
The purpose of the current study was to identify the perception of Sandwich students on the recognition of the Sandwich programmes, employability of Sandwich graduates and the prospects of the Sandwich programmes. The researchers used descriptive survey as the research design. The questionnaire was planted online on respondents’ WhatsApp platform to collect data on the variables. In all, 220 students were used in the study. At the end of the study, the researchers found that the Sandwich mode of learning has become an integral part of tertiary education. Second, there seem to be some level of discrimination against Sandwich graduates as compared to graduates from the regular mode. Third, the prospects of Sandwich programmes run in institutions, to a greater extent, will be determined by the recognition of the school as well as the ability of its graduates to get employment. The implication for practice is discussed.

Poverty and the Challenges of Security in the North-Eastern Region of Nigeria: A Case Study of Boko Haram Insurgency (2009-2017)
Boris Happy Odalonu, Eberechukwu Faith Obani – July 2020 Page No.: 137-146
Poverty has become an endemic in our society based on certain factors that are human creation. Nigeria has been caught-up in this web due to the nature and character of the state. This paper ex-rayed the relationship between poverty and the emergence of Boko Haram insurgents in the North–East region of Nigeria. Secondary data were used for this paper and the theoretical overview is anchored on relative deprivation and frustration-aggression theories. The paper argues that there are varied factors that gave room to Boko-Haram insurgency. However, poverty is the most prevailing causes of Boko Haram insurgency. The paper reveals that Boko Haram insurgency in the North-East of Nigeria has crippled the economic activities of the region thereby increasing the rate of poverty in Nigeria. It also shows that Boko Haram insurgency is the greatest cause of displacement in the north east. It further shows that Boko Haram activities have not only challenged the security of the Nigerian state but also threatened its unity and economic development. The paper concludes that if these economic and political conditions that led to violent extremism remained unresolved, there will be continued insecurity in Nigeria especially in the North-East region. The paper therefore recommends that Federal Government should sincerely and practically embark on job creation for the unemployed youths, particularly in the troubled region.

Communication in the British Colonial Bamenda Grassfields: Development of Post Offices and Postal Services
Esther B.M. Ngoran, Christian P. Musah – July 2020 Page No.: 147-154
Communication remains a fundamental aspect of man’s life, existence, interactions and evolution. This paper takes off from indigenous African communication (modes and mediums), to examine the enhancement of communication in the British Colonial Bamenda Grassfields. The study based on a vast array of archival and secondary sources, unveils the centrality of the need of a flexible and fluid communication channel in the implementation and effectiveness of the colonial machinery in the Bamenda Grassfields. The study also reveals the readiness and engagement of the indigenes in the development of post offices and postal services as it was a means through which they sustained contacts and affinities with their kith and kin whom most migrated to distant coastal towns in search of jobs and livelihood. The development of post offices and postal agencies was a very popularly welcomed initiative especially amongst the indigenes. One can therefore maintain that the development of post offices and postal services in the Bamenda Grassfields was thanks to the collective efforts of the colonial administration and the indigenes. This also laid the foundation for post-colonial communications services. In fact, most if not all of the vestiges of the British colonial administration in terms of communication channels and services in the Bamenda Grassfields were the first generation of post-independence postal operations and services.

Self-Reflexivity: A Must-Have Guide for Judicial Mediators in Indonesia
Fatahillah Abdul Syukur, PhD. – July 2020 Page No.: 155-158
Court-Annexed Mediation is relatively a new institution in the Indonesian legal system. It was initially established in 2003; however, to date, its settlement success rate is still low. One of the major problems is lack of competence of its mediators due to lack of funding to provide sufficient trainings. This paper argues that judicial mediators in Indonesia must also have self-reflexivity when settling disputes because parties come from various cultural backgrounds. The paper examines some aspects that can influence judicial mediators in mediating the process and producing amicable settlements. The author provides his self-reflexibility when assessing his expectations in writing this paper and in the implementation of court-annexed mediation in Indonesia.

Examining the Benefits of International Migration Ventures: The Statistics from Ghana
Isaac Addai- July 2020 Page No.: 159-163
The role that international migrants can play in promoting development in their home countries has been at the core of migration research over the past five decades in Africa. There is however rare research conducted, examining the views of these international migrants on the benefits of their migration venture long after returning to their origin country. Using the Respondent Driven Sampling, the paper investigates the views of former international migrants known in the Ghanaian parlance as Burgers as to whether their international migration venture had been beneficial to them long after resettling back home.The mean years after respondents returned to their country of origin is 28. The earliest year of respondents returning was 31 years and the latest year of returning was 25 years as at the time of survey. 69 Burgers representing 90 percent of the respondents surveyed on average of 28 years after returning from an international migration to Ghana the country of origin, view their migration venture as not being beneficial to them. The paper is a pace-setter in promoting theoretical advances in the analysis of the impact of international migration on African countries in general and on Ghana in particular.

Fueling Corruption through Budgetary Allocation
Dr. Egiyi, Modesta Amaka, Prof. Eugene O. Nwadialor – July 2020 Page No.: 164-168
Before the discovery of crude oil, agriculture was the mainstay of the Nigerian economy, competing opinions concerning to derivation principle was present but negligible in the revenue allocation. However, the discovery of oil and the emergency of the oil boom in the 1970s made Nigeria solely dependent on the oil sector as a source of export earnings and neglected the other sectors housing over 70 per cent of the productive population of the nation, thus the populace often monitored how the national cake is derived and allocated among federating entities. This increased interest in budgetary allocation thus makes it an increasingly scarce commodity. Different sectors, ministry and arms of government compete for more allocations. In an ideal system, the scarce nature of the allocation breeds health completion and positive economic growth but in Nigeria, it is rather used as means for government workers to amass wealth and perform other unlawful acts.

Students’ Perception, Learning Styles and Learning Depth in High-Stakes WASSCE Mathematics: The Washback Perspective and Economic Implications
SAMA, Roseline, ANOCHIWA, Lasbrey – July 2020 Page No.: 169-178
This study investigated the washback effects of the West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination on students learning depth in Mathematics. The participants comprised of 600 Senior Secondary three students, randomly selected from 30 senior secondary schools in Ebonyi state. The predictor variables are students’ perception and students’ learning styles while students’ learning depth in Mathematics is the criterion variable Three validated instruments namely; Students’ Perception Questionnaire (SPQ), r = 0.771 , Learning Styles Questionnaire (LSQ), r = 0.882 and Mathematics Learning Task (MLT), r = 0.893 were used to collect data. Three research questions were posed and data collected were analyzed using correlation and multiple regression models. Research results shows that there was a low negative but significant correlation between each of the predictor variables (students’ perception, r = – 0.164, p < 0.05 and learning styles, r = - 0.097, p < 0.05) and the criterion variable (learning depth). However, students’ perception of the WASSCE was found to be the most potent factor in predicting students’ learning depth in Mathematics (Beta =-0.148, t =0.002, P<0.005). Again, results also show that there is a joint influence of the predictor variables on students learning depth in Mathematics and it is statistically significant but with allow predictive power of 2.9%. In view of the findings of this research, it is recommended that Learning styles that will lead to In-depth mathematical knowledge such as active learning strategy should be adopted by students preparing for the WASSCME.

Education and Philosophy in Nation Building: A Focus on Nigeria
Emmanuel N. Ogu, OP & Frederick Ifeanyi Obananya, OP – July 2020 Page No.: 179-183
The centrality of education and philosophy in nation building cannot be over emphasized. Education when rightly conceived forms the intellectual, moral, technical, and religious dimensions of the human person. Integral education makes the human person aware of his role in the society and hence to use his/her inner mind in its conscious acts of reflection and judgment for the interest of the common good. This study focuses on the necessity of education and philosophy in nation building with focus on Nigeria. Instead of leadership, it argues that the problem of Nigeria is the inadequacy of (informal) education and narratives for the pursuit of excellence – because education and storytelling impart basic human values. It proposes that the system and purpose of education should be re-visited. Children should be taught that they are trained to be a part in solving the problems of humanity, and stories of heroes should be fashioned for them as role models. Certificates should not be overemphasized above competence nor should certification be neglected. Further research is needed to fashion what it means to be Nigerian and who our heroes are.

Assessment of the Extent of People’s Participation in Socio-Economic Projects for Community Development in Rwanda. Rubavu District
Dr. Rwabutogo Zogeye Marcel (PhD), Dr. Benard Nuwatuhaire (PhD) – July 2020 Page No.: 184-191
The study attempted to assess the extent of people’ participation in socio-economic projects for community development in Rubavu district, Rwanda. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey designusing both quantitative and qualitative research approaches on 302 respondents. It was revealed that, the extent to which people participate in socio-economic projects is still at the low level of participation because many projects implemented in different sectors are conceived by planners at the district level, thus local people are not participating actively in their own development and do not know the role they should play in these different activities. The study recommended that the enhancement of the level of people’s participation in socio-economic projects for their development is crucial by involving people in the whole process of socio-economic projects since the identification of needs, formulation of projects up to their closure instead of leaving them in the hands of planners, administrators and community elites at the district level. This would be possible by putting more emphasis on Empowered people and Empowered Participatory Governance.

Kayindu Vincent, Asmaa Elsayed Emara, Sofia Sole Gaite, Nakiyingi Sarah- July 2020 Page No.: 192-197
The study investigated, among other things, the relationship between classroom management and student’s mathematics performance in four public secondary schools, in Makindye Division, Kampala. The respondents were 212 senior four (S.4) students and 12 teachers of Mathematics from four selected schools. Questionnaires, observation checklists and interview guide were used to gather data. Frequency, percentage, means, standard deviations and Pearson Linear correlation coefficient were used to analyze the data. The finding was that teachers’ classroom management was not significantly related to students’ performance in mathematics in the studied schools. Based on the findings, the study recommends that as for classroom management, a mathematics teachers need to exhibit flexibility and emphasize roll calls before or after class.

Success of Community Participation in Development Planning for Socio-Economic Transformation in Rwanda. Gakenke District
Dr. Rwabutogo Zogeye Marcel(PhD), Dr. Benard Nuwatuhaire (PhD) – July 2020 Page No.: 198-203
The study attempted to assess the success of community participation in development planning process in Gakenke District in Rwanda. The study adopted a cross-sectional design using both quantitative and qualitative research approaches on a sample of 76 respondents. Quantitative data involved the use of descriptive statistics particularly frequencies, percentages and the mean. Findings of revealed that the development planning process remains top-down approach, priorities from the community are rarely taken into account and community participation is often used as a word of fantasy wherein the community has no role to play unless and until a comprehensive detailed plan is prepared by the development authority. The needs and priorities from the community are not taken into account as needed into the district development strategy; this situation contributes certainly to the rate of poverty of the district because implemented projects are not responding necessarily to the direct needs of communities. The study recommended to lighten the top-down approach and reinforce the bottom-up approach through the utilization of the community participation tools, empowering people through capacity building for staffs and local leaders at all levels of the district; equipping them with knowledge, skills and confidence to address their own needs and advocate on their own behalf and improve their capacity for collective activity for more socio-economic transformation results.

John M.Kilonzo, Dr. Gideon M. Kasivu, Dr. David M.Mulwa – July 2020 Page No.: 204-209
leadership skills are regarded as the basis of all administrative operations in any organization. The performance of any school is determined by the effectiveness of the principal and the leadership practices put in place. School leadership influences students’ academic performance and therefore understanding how different school leadership practices impact on students’ academic performance is important in setting the institutional direction the members should follow. This study was carried in Machakos county to investigate principals’ transformative leadership practice of setting institutional direction in determining students’ academic performance in public secondary schools in Machakos County, Kenya. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The target population was 331 principals and 3,600 teachers. The study sampled 100 principals and 500 teachers. Data collection instruments included questionnaires for principals and teachers which had both closed and open-ended questions. The instruments were validated through piloting while reliability was achieved through test retest technique. Data was analyzed by use of SPSS. Descriptive statistics such as frequencies and percentages and inferential statistics like regression models were used to analyze the quantitative data. Qualitative data was analyzed thematically and presented in in reported version. The results revealed that there was statistically significant relationship between principals’ setting of institutional direction and students’ academic performance which was positive at (r= 0.67) and significant at (p = 0.011). Based on the results, the study concluded that principals’ transformational leadership practice of setting institutional direction influenced students’ academic performance.

Sustainable Banking in Nigeria: Empirical Perspective
Obiekwe, Chinelo Jenevive (Ph. D), Njoku, Ben .O (Ph.D), Okoro, Okoro Kelechi – July 2020 Page No.: 228-231
The quest to increase the share of green sectors to the GDP as well as invest in products and services that reduce climate change has led to adoption of sustainable banking in different countries. This study examined sustainable banking in Nigeria with emphasis on determining whether ATM usage, POS usage and commercial banks’ credit to the agricultural sector, as instruments of sustainable banking, had contributed to the Nigeria economy. Quarterly data collected from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) for the period 2012-2018 was adopted for the study and the data was analyzed using the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method. Findings revealed that ATM usage, POS usage and commercial banks’ credit to agricultural sector had led to increase in Nigeria’s economy. However, the effect of these instruments on the Nigerian economy had not been significant. The implication of this is that although sustainable banking had increased economic growth in Nigeria, but its effect on Nigeria’s economy had not been significant. The study recommended that the Central Bank of Nigeria should make policies that would eliminate frivolous charges on ATM and POS usage as a way of increasing ATM and POS usage which would reduce the use of paper and ensure clean environment in Nigeria.

Taxation and Manufacturing Sector Output in Nigeria
Etim Osim Etim, Mbobo Erasmus Mbobo, Ihenyen Confidence Joel, David Johnny Ekanem – July 2020 Page No.: 240-249
The study investigated the relationship between taxation and manufacturing output in Nigeria from 1985 to 2018. This is premise on the argument taxation causes disincentive to investment and entrepreneurship. Data were gathered from the published reports of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Federal Inland Revenue Service and National Bureau of Statistics covering the period of the study; ex-post facto research design was adopted. Collected data on manufacturing output, companies’ income tax, personal income tax, value added tax and petroleum profit tax were analysed using ordinary least square technique. The results show the t-statistics (CIT = -0.9025, PIT = 3.4047; VAT = -0.2090; PPT = 1.9113) and p-values (CIT = 0.3775; PIT = 0.0028; VAT = 0.8366; PPT = 0.0701) implying CIT and VAT not statistically significant while PIT and PPT were statistically significant with positive relationship with manufacturing out affirming the theoretical conception that companies’ income tax discourage entrepreneurship. Taking the model as a whole, it was concluded that there is a significant relationship between the variables of study. It was recommended that government should grant more tax incentives to manufacturing sector operators and reform of the tax administrative system.

Evaluation of Distance Education and Widening Access to Higher Education in Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology
R. Essel, P. Osei-Poku, H. Barton-Essel, A. A. Saah- July 2020 Page No.: 250-256
The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology is one of the public universities in Ghana which runs distance education. Distance education has come to stay. This is because many people want to climb the educational ladder and due to large numbers of qualified applicants who cannot further their education by attending the traditional university, they opt for distance education. Although the university started running distance education programmes in 2005, no evaluation has been done except a few studies by Osei et al., in (2013) and Badu et al., (2007). In every country, education is of great importance because it plays a major role in the life of the individual and the country as a whole. Whatever manpower the country needs could be attained if the curriculum of the education system is well structured and geared towards its manpower needs.

Does Public Debt affect Private Investment in Kenya? ARDL Approach
Pollyne Mbithe Mutunga – July 2020 Page No.: 257-261
Private sector investment plays a critical role towards economic growth and development. Private sector provides employment opportunities to almost 80 percent of Kenyan, pays revenue to the government in form of taxes and fees, and accounts for 50 percent of the GDP. Since 2013, Kenya’s appetite for public debt has growth rapidly and this has elicited public debate on the effect of such debts on private investment. However, literature on this issue remains scanty and inconclusive. The study adopts Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model to respond to the question, “How does Kenya’s public debt affect private investment? The study employed time series data covering 1980-2019. The finds that domestic debt has negative effect on private investment only in the short-run. Similar findings are observed with inflation. In addition, external debt crowds out private investment in the long-run and finally, debt service has adverse effect on private investment in both short and long-run. The study recommends better debt management practices as a remedy to the negative effects.

Aspects of Smallholder Livestock Production Affected by the Effects of Climate Change in Njoro Sub-County
Douglas V Muyera, Paul Makenzi, Alexander Kahi – July 2020 Page No.: 262-266
Smallholder livestock production is one of the major means of livelihood supporting many families world over. This system acts as a source of food and financial security to many households therefore sustaining their socio-economic wellbeing as well as that of the nation. However, this support system is under threat due to the negative effects of climate change which are contributing to a decline in the level of smallholder livestock production. For the last 30years, changes in climate have been observed in Njoro sub-county and therefore, this study investigated the effects climate change is having on smallholder livestock production in the area. This was done through determination of the aspects of climate change/variability that have impacted on livestock production and the magnitude of their effect. The study employed a social survey research design, where primary data was collected using questionnaires and participant observation, while secondary data was sourced from journals, books, articles, and agricultural records at the sub-county and county headquarters and from the meteorological department. The study found out that climate change is affecting aspects of smallholder livestock production mostly livestock health, livestock yield, forage availability, and water availability. From the study, it was concluded that, due to the effects of climate change, mainly prolonged droughts and reduced rainfall amounts in the study area, smallholder livestock production farmers in the study area is experiencing increased disease occurrence, reduced livestock yield, reduced forage productivity and reduced water availability. These are having a negative effect in their production system.

Equity Financing and Firm Value in Nigeria
Auwalu Sani Ibrahim, Hadiza Sabo, Sunusi Kabiru, Sharafuddeen Ibrahim Abubakar – July 2020 Page No.: 267-269
This study investigates the influence of equity financing on firm value in Nigeria using panel analysis technique for 12 listed industrial goods enterprises from 2006 to 2016. The estimate reveals that equity finance reduce the capacity of firm value in Nigeria. It is also discovered that the firm size and growth have negative influence on the value of frim. Hence, the study suggests that managers should design appropriate management skills to come up with the efficient capital mix in financing firm business. This could be through taking into consideration of various theoretical application and the weakened nature of the economy in the best combination of capital for viable business operation.

Assessing the Preparedness of Law Enforcement Agents in Dealing with White-Collar Crimes in Kenya: A Case of Nairobi City County
Patrick Mwakio, Dr. George Mathenge, Dr. George Maroko – July 2020 Page No.: 270-282
This study sought to assess the preparedness of Law Enforcement Officers in handling white-collar crimes within Nairobi City County. White collar crimes are seen as a major headache for all legitimate governments throughout the world. It also slows down economic growth by discouraging local and foreign investors. The preparedness of the law enforcement agents to combat white-collar crimes is therefore seen as a key element in reassuring members of the society and attracting foreign investment for developing countries The research objectives were to establish the adequacy of current resources available to effectively manage white-collar crimes in Nairobi City County, to explore the competencies of the law enforcement agents in investigating white-collar crimes in Nairobi City County, to examine the challenges encountered by Law enforcement agents face in thwarting white-collar crimes within Nairobi City County and finally to establish the strategies for enhancing the capacity of law enforcement agents in handling white-collar crimes in Nairobi City County. The target population was largely drawn from the Kenya police, Directorate of criminal investigations and the Kenya Anti-corruption commission with a sample size of 371 respondents drawn from the DCI and KPS. This study adopted quantitative and qualitative research methods it used a descriptive survey design. Data was collected through questionnaires and interviews. The study was guided by the Rational Choice Theory. Quantitative data was analysed through the SPSStool version 23. The reports from qualitative data were presented using descriptive statistics. This included frequencies, modes, means, variances and standard deviations. Qualitative data was first coded, patterns established themes and finally reported narratively. The study revealed that there was a significant and strong relationship between the four variables and preparedness level to deal with white collar crime, however the enforcement agents in Nairobi County-Kenya were found to be generally ill prepared to fight white collar crime. The study revealed that corruption, tendering and other acts of bribery; money laundering, embezzlement/misappropriation of public funds/resources as the most prevalent crimes. Cyber-hacking and other forms of internet fraud were also perceived to be problematic, yet security agents were inadequately prepared to deal with these kinds of crimes as they lacked resources and the relevant training to enable them to investigate, arrest, and prosecute the culprits. The study further recommended that the government should allocate more funds and resources to enable law enforcement agents procure modern gadgets that track internet activities; the officers/forensic experts need to have proper training and be recruited from the smart people in society who are perceived to be supper intelligent for them to be smart in their investigations; there is also need to strengthen the existing and establish relevant laws (legal and institutional frameworks) aimed at combating corruption related and other economic crimes.

A Study of the Challenges Facing the Devolved Governments in Kenya (The Case of Kiambu County Government)
Maria Muthoni Mwihotori, Dr. George C.O Maroko – July 2020 Page No.: 283-297
The purpose of the study was to examine the commitment by the county government in dealing with the challenges facing the implementation of devolved government in Kiambu County, Kenya. The objectives of the study were; to establish the political interference challenges facing the implementation of devolved governments, examine the Administrative challenges, establish how polices and legislation challenges and mismanagement of finances affect the implementation of devolved government in Kiambu County. It further looked into related literature in chapter two and conclusively used descriptive survey research design to investigate the commitment by county government in dealing with these challenges in chapter three. The information collected through simple random sampling was analyzed through various techniques used in descriptive data analysis. The targeted area of study was Kiambu County because it was negatively hitting the headline news immediately after promulgation of the 2010 Constitution of Kenya. A population of 2000 members of the community residing in Kiambu grouped into County Administrators, MCAs and selected members of public such as women groups, youth groups and business people were considered in the study. A sample of 51 members of the groups was used. In conducting this research, the information was collected using questionnaires, interview guide and document analysis. The independent variables included political interference challenges, County Administrative challenges, policies and legislation challenges and mismanagement of finances. The study was guided by Agency and Stewardship Theories. The findings it is hoped would be used to improve the governance methods of Kiambu County and other counties in Kenya. The study found out that politicians were not in support of devolved governance in Kiambu County and that Party affiliations affected decisions being passed by the county assembly. The study further concludes that mismanagement of finances affected implementation of devolved government in Kiambu County. Further demand for huge salaries and allowances by MCAs and public servants, Unhealthy rivalry and poor attitude amongst county leaders, resistance to change and Shortage of qualified human resources were the County Administrative Challenges. The study made the following recommendations: that proper management practices should be effected, politicians should forge unity so as to work together, the government should be more aggressive in the fight against corruption, and finally regulation and legislation should be strengthened to guide on the functions of devolved governments.

Does Taxation Propel Economic Growth In Nigeria?
Etim Osim Etim, Nsima Johnson Umoffong, Ihenyen Joel Confidence – July 2020 Page No.: 298-306
The study examined the relationship between taxation and economic growth proxy by Per Capita Income (PCI) in Nigeria from 1985 to 2018 data were collected from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) for various years on Companies Income Tax (CIT), Personal Income Tax (PIT), Value Added Tax (VAT), Petroleum Profit Tax (PPT) and Per Capita Income (PCI) from Socio-Economic Statistics Report by National Bureau of Statistics (NBS). The data were analysed using multiple regression technique. Findings reveal inverse and significant relationship between company income tax and per capita income, while, Personal Income Tax, Value Added Tax Petroleum profit tax shows positive relationship. Thus, the contention as to whether taxation propel economic growth in Nigeria cannot be rightly answered with a ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ response since the results from our study were mix. It was recommended that policy makers should focus on tax incentives that would boost investment in the manufacturing sector.

Legislative-Judicial Relations and Budget Implementation in Nigeria
Udoji, Chibuike Raphael, Johnpaul Onyebuchi Nduba, Jude Chiedozie Okwuadimma – July 2020 Page No.: 310-315
Since the return of democracy in 1999, the implementation of the budget in Nigeria has been a major concern. There have been many explanations for the poor performance of the federal government in capital budgets, including the late introduction, execution and adoption of the budget; the late distribution of funds to the federal departments and agencies, and the inadequate use of resources; but little attention has been given to the position of the judiciary in this regard. As a result, this paper examines legislative-judicial ties and the implementation of the budget in Nigeria. The paper collected data from secondary sources. The results of the study shows that the legislature and the judiciary, as institutions, do not perform their functions and duties in regulating the excesses of the executive branch of the government and its MDAs, in particular with respect to the complete execution of the budget enacted into law in Nigeria. The paper, therefore, suggests that the legislature and the judiciary should perform their duties and work effectively to monitor the excesses of the executive branch of the government, in particular, to ensure the full implementation of approved budgets.

The Mediatory Effect of Voluntary Disclosure on the Relationship between Corporate Governance and Financial Performance: A Pilot Study
Ibrahim Mohd Al Hamadsheh, Barjoyai Bin Bardai, Abdoul Rahman Mhd Al Jounaidi – July 2020 Page No.: 325-331
The global problem since the past decade is the complete disclosure of financial statements. In fact, the report “profit and loss,” which reflects the company’s operating indicators, is important. The more transparent the report is, the better it is for future and existing investors to make their investment decisions. The more transparent the report is. This means that the more companies reveal the figures included in the financial statement, the more transparency they are. The purpose of a financial statement is to assist transparency and to supply a reliable annual report for more detailed information disclosure. It also promotes the development of accounting standards and financial reporting legislation. There are two forms of financial reporting: mandatory and voluntary reporting. The Mandatory Information Divulging, in particular, represents the key demand of the market for information provided by various laws and regulatory authorities and is regulated by public or professional organizations at the national or regional levels. On the opposite, a voluntary company divulgation that surpasses the divulgation demands is the correct option to divulge users’ annual reports. The researchers’ fundamental curiosity is how voluntary disclosure can improve financial performance and what factors influence the financial performance of the company listed in the Amman Bourse through the structure of corporate governance. The primary objective of the analysis is to analyze, in the annual reports of the Jordanian listed companies, the degree of voluntary disclosure and analyze the connection between corporate governance and financial performance (FP). In the Jordanian context, a research method will be used, namely archiving and method because the nature of the data needed to perform this survey on Jordanian companies stresses the need for secondary information to be an essential source of information because secondary information helps in determining current information. Data collected from 208 manufacturing and service firms in the 2012–2017 Annual Report of Amman Stock Exchange. Moreover, the latest source of information at the time of the research is data from this period. The sample of the study was limited to the service sector and industry, which comprises 208 companies representing 84 percent of the total companies listed in the Amman stock exchange. Version 18 (SPSS) was used in the analysis and this analysis was used as a descriptive analysis. The results showed that BORDIN, BACT, BSIZE, ACS, FOW, and IOW. The results indicate that Board members are the BORDIN Board of Trustees. Support was provided for H02, H03, H04, H05, H06, H07, H09. In contrast, the Audit Committee ‘s independence (ACOM) and government ownership (GOW) are statistically marginal, since their p-values are higher than their usual significance point of 0.05. Consequently, H01 and H08 were rejected. This analysis fills the gap created by past studies identifying these variables that identifying these variables that influence the financial results. The most theoretical effects are for this review. All factors affect financial efficiency, as shown by the results obtained. A financial performance research framework was proposed among listed Jordanian companies and empirical tests were conducted in this study. However, the most practical implications for this analysis are that this work examining the variables from each external factor in order to identify the one most successful in financial performance. The details collected may be incomplete by unreported corporate administration, concealed managing directors, and/or secret ownership rates one of the most significant determinants of this analysis. A significant suggestion for future studies would be the inclusion of more business services in this study that may include in- and out-of-market services. The study concludes that a structural model is developed and tested financially. In conclusion, shareholders and management of the current study will know that the scope of voluntary disclosure is determined by them. This then prevents them from expropriating the company’s property for their own purposes.

Parliamentary Turnover in Ghana’s Fourth Republic: Perspectives of Members of Parliament
Harrison Kofi Belley – July 2020 Page No.: 332-336
Since the return to constitutional rule in Ghana in January 1993, the high turnover of parliamentarians in Ghana’s fourth republican parliament has been a source of concern to not only Members of Parliament (MPs) and the leadership of parliament, but to the academia as well. The minority and majority leaders in the seventh parliament of the fourth republic of Ghana have bemoaned this practice where most MPs do not go past one term of parliament. The aim of this study was to examine members of parliament perceptions about impact and implications of the high attrition rate of MPs on the members and parliament as an institution. Data for the study was collected in 2019 through semi-structured interviews conducted with forty-five purposively selected minority and majority MPs of the fourth republic. The findings revealed that the high attrition rate of MPs affects the work of parliament and parliamentarians significantly. Parliamentarians reported that the loss of experience MPs to fresh one affects the quality of work done by the legislative arm of government. They revealed further that the outrageously high attrition rate cannot facilitate the growth of parliament; neither can it grow our parties. They identified: (i) increasing monetization of internal party elections (ii) unfulfilled promises of MPs (iii) pettiness on the part of constituents and party activists as some of the causes of the high attrition rate of parliamentarians in Ghana’s parliament. Given the diversity of opinions on the phenomenon, parliamentarians suggested that the public affairs department should intensive its education on the workings of parliament and its engagement with the general public.

Grassroots Women and Livelihood Opportunities for the Achievement of Sustainable Development Goals
AJEDE Salamat Atinuke (PhD) – July 2020 Page No.: 337-342
This analytical study, persuasive type, analyzed the linkages between grassroots women livelihood opportunities and the achievement of the sustainable development goals. The study explains how grassroots women have been playing major role in the production of goods and services particularly the cultivation of farmland. More importantly, the role of women in the production, processing and cultivation of food was emphasized. In spite of all the above, the study argues that, women particularly grassroots women, remain the hardest hit in poverty and hunger due to inadequate means of livelihoods, lack of opportunities for improved livelihood potentials as well as other challenges. Furthermore, in spite of the fact that rural and grassroots women produce most of the world food; they are most often denied land tenure and credits for their business while also contending with other discriminatory practices that negatively impinge on their livelihood opportunities. On the other hand, the new paradigm for development, the SDGs (the Sustainable Development Goals) believes in not leaving anybody behind for the achievement of all the lofty goals. It therefore becomes imperative, that all obstacles and constraints preventing grassroots women from developing their full livelihood potentials be removed or reduced to its barest minimum. And for the SDGs to be achieved, grassroots women must be given the opportunity they need to improve their livelihood potentials as well as enhance their participation in the labor market.

Gabriel Olusola OWAGBEMI, Rachael Seun OLUWADARE – July 2020 Page No.: 343-349
The study seeks to examine the socio-economic factors determining teenage pregnancy; its effects on teenage pregnant woman; public attitude to teenage pregnancy and how to reduce teen pregnancy in Ede south local government area of Osun State, Nigeria. Quantitative method of data collection through the use of questionnaire was employed to elicit information from 120 respondents who were randomly selected from the study area. The study found that, 95% of the respondent attributed teen pregnancy to parents’ socio-economic status. Similarly 97.5% of the respondents were of the view that the environment that a child grew could cause teenage pregnancy; Majority of the respondents (84.2%) felt that lack of adequate sex education for a girl child could cause teenage pregnancy. Its effects on a girl-child range from; exposure of a girl child to hardship (95.9%); it truncates a girl child’s ambition (82.5%); The ways to curb teen pregnancies also range from; involvement of parents in their daughters’ sexual affairs (71.7%); public sensitization by government on the danger of teenage pregnancy (94.2%). The test of hypothesis established that public attitude towards teenage pregnancy has a significant positive relationship with the effect of teenage pregnancy [r (118) = 0.02, p < .05], Based on the findings the following recommendations are therefore made; sex education for a girl child at all levels. Mothers should be involved in their daughters' sexual affairs; teenage pregnancy should be discouraged by religious organization, and there should be government sensitisation against teen pregnancy.

Leveraging Parental involvement in the Education of their Children as a Conflict Resolution strategy in selected Secondary Schools, Zambia
Daliso Mwase, Eunifridah Simuyaba, Godfrey Mwewa, Gistered Muleya & Francis Simui – July 2020 Page No.: 356-365
This study explored parental involvement in the education of their children as a conflict resolution strategy in the Kafue district of Lusaka province in Zambia. 28 participants were purposively engaged within a qualitative research methodology to generate evidence. Key among the findings revealed that factors that affected parents’ involvement in education of their children at school were negative attitude, lack of understanding and financial constraints. Similarly, when school authorities are not communicating effectively with parents, it created a vacuum of information which all stakeholders needed. A challenge in some situation was distance, sometimes distance becomes a hindrance for parents to participate in the affairs of the school. Distance to the school was one other contributing factor that affected parents’ involvement in education of their school going children. Thus, the study recommends among others that, Parents should provide their children with basic needs such as food, shelter and clothes, learning materials like exercises books adequate academic and moral attention, unconditional love and the opportunity to develop responsible citizenship. Equally, Teacher should demonstrate friendliness, respect and recognition of parents of students registered in secondary schools in order to encourage them to get involved in school activities. Further, Education policy makers are urged to develop a parental involvement policy in secondary schools to guide practice.

E. Basuki, Zainuri, R. Widyasari, R. Nofrida, Sukmawaty, and D. A. Setiawati – July 2020 Page No.: 366-369
The new paradigm formed which was the teaching and learning process centered on lecturers (Teacher Centered Learning = TCL) is now a student-centered learning (Student Centered Learning = SCL), which is expected to encourage students to be actively involved in building knowledge, attitude and behavior. In the SCL process, students get the opportunity and facilities to build their own knowledge so that they will gain a deep understanding and ultimately improve their quality The aim of SCL are: 1. Improve the quality of learning. 2. Creating a meaningful and interconnected picture of knowledge, increasing and stimulating student curiosity about knowledge. 3. Developing the potential of students potentially. Development of Creative Learning Based on SCL on Postharvest Physiology and Technology Courses by Learning methods can be interpreted as a method used to implement plans that have been prepared in the form of real and practical activities to achieve learning objectives. Several programs in SCL-based learning that have been implemented and used to implement learning strategies include: (A) Formation of Small Group Discussion, (B). Simulation, (C) Utilization of Information with Discovery Learning (DL).(D). Enabling Self Directed Learning (SDL) . (E). Enabling Cooperative Learning (CL). (F). Motivate for Collaborative Learning (CbL).

Traditional Institutions and Power Configuration in Contemporary Northern Nigeria: Kano State Emirate Council in Perspective
Mustapha Salihu, Yahaya Yakubu- July 2020 Page No.: 370-376
The study building on the pedestals of the governance theory sought to examine the place of traditional institutions in relation to power configuration in contemporary Northern Nigeria. In this regard, the role of the former Emir of Kano HRH Sanusi Lamido Sanusi in the build up to the February 2019 governorship election in Kano State is examined. Review of relevant literature shows the existence of a consensus across board on the purported political value of traditional institutions. It was duly observed by means of examining prior studies and gazette publications that the open support of the Emir of Kano for the opposition party almost cost the incumbent governor the election, one which he eventually won only after a re-run. To this end, the governor upon re-election initiated legislative amendments that reduced the jurisdiction of the Emir and subsequent deposition of the Emir. The actions of the Kano State government are herewith understood as steps taken checkmate the political influence of the Emir. In lieu, the study recommends for the formal inclusion of traditional institutions as intermediaries between state and society in the event that the neutrality of such institutions can be guaranteed.

Do Central Banks’ repo Transactions and Liquidity Infusions Increase Financial Stability Risks? A Case for Circular Monetary Economics
Henri Kouam – July 2020 Page No.: 377-386
Central banks repo market operations and liquidity infusions occasion a structural liquidity mismatch in bank balance sheets and increase the dependence on central bank liquidity. This paper argues for what I term “Circular Monetary Economics”, an approach to monetary policy that seeks to green and prudentially insulate the design and implementation of liquidity and credit facilities. Circular monetary economics will lessen the probability of cross-asset contamination within financial institutions and contagion within the broader financial system, whilst simultaneously improving the transmissions from changes in the policy rate as well as macro-prudential regimes in the event of a climate or credit-driven financial shock.

Relevance of Financial Literacy in Financial Sector Development and Stability in Nigeria
Okere, Peter A. Phd, Mbanasor, Christian O. Phd & Uzokwe, Nnamdi J. Phd – July 2020 Page No.: 387-391
This study was aimed at assessing the relevance of financial literacy in financial sector development and stability in Nigeria. The study theoretically evaluated the relevance of financial literacy in stability and development of financial sector in Nigeria with more reference to the deposit money banks. Financial literacy is a set of skills and knowledge that allows an individual to make informed and effective decisions with all of their financial resources. From the literature, it was observed that financial literacy promotes financial system stability by increasing market demand, equitable use of financial services, improves savings culture and financial discipline, and stimulates economic activity. Financial literacy is essential for a viable financial system which in turn positively affects the economy as a whole. Lack of financial knowledge is the main driver that pulls people away from financial markets. The study therefore recommend that professional bodies like Chartered Institute of Banker of Nigeria (CIBN), Chartered Institute of Loan and Risk Management of Nigeria (CILRMN) etc should expedite more actions to incorporate financial literacy as part of professional training and organize capacity building for members and other target groups. Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in collaborate with the CBN and other stakeholders in the implementation of financial literacy initiatives should continuously carry out in-house training programmes and capacity building for staff who will subsequently educate the customers on products/services being offered especially the terms and conditions, fees, charges and risks associated with such products.

Errors in Music Copying: A Synchronic Examination
George Asabre Maclean, Emmanuel Obed Acquah – July 2020 Page No.: 392-400
The proliferation of choral groups and the growth of choral musical performances in Ghana have resulted in many gathering of repertoire among the groups, thereby, encouraging music copying practice to create such archives. This practice has exposed the far-reaching effects of errors made in the attempt to write a new musical piece, re-write an existing musical score or score an unwritten tune using either pencil and manuscript or computer technologies. Using exploratory bibliographic research design, 4 musical pieces were purposively and randomly sampled and analysed for wrong placement of pitches on the musical staff, omission of important indications for performance, misleading performance directions or indications and wrong rhythm notation. This phenomenon was examined by using score study in printed sheets and published music books. There is usually direct substitution effect as much as the intention of the composer and performance of the music are concerned. It is therefore recommended that copyists of musical scores take time to verify the originality of the scores in order to reduce errors considerably for distribution, sharing and storage.

Impact of Agricultural Policies on the Farming Co-Operatives in Katete District Eastern Province of Zambia, 1964-1991
Chabu Martin – July 2020 Page No.: 401-417
The study establish a historical background as to why co-operative were formed in Katete district Eastern Province of Zambia, as a source of income for bulk of the rural people and social economic consequence of their development. This forms an important historical background and also demonstrates deep roots of the co-operative movement in Zambia. The study also asses the performance of co-operatives and how the agriculture polices impacted on farming co-operatives a period 1964-91. In order to assess the effects of the co-operative movement, the study used data gathered from Katete District, Eastern Province of Zambia from member who once worked in the co-operative societies and non-members of the co-operative societies. Data was collected by means of a qualitative approach using unpublished, published and oral sources which were also consulted. The findings were tentative analyzed strongly and points to the important role that farming co-operatives societies have played on agricultural development in rural areas and this is clearly reflected in the differential performance in farming co-operative activities and the socio-economic attributes of member and non-members. The results indicated a marked difference among categories in terms of access to agriculture inputs, knowledge, and technology acquisition of material. By and large the findings support that the agricultural policies between 1964 and 1991 which was under United National Independence Party (UNIP) were successful in managing co-operatives. There was an advantage in the membership of the co-operative society suggesting co-operatives the catalytic ability of the co-operative movements which boosted agricultural development and thereby, offering a viable channel to peasants to come out of vicious cycle of rural poverty.

A Case Study on the Interference of Bahasa Melayu (L1) on the Tenses Used in Writing English (L2) Essays among Form Two Secondary Students
Amanpreet Kaur – July 2020 Page No.: 418-425
Writing in English language is one of the most challenging skills faced by English language learners in Malaysia especially if they do not have a good proficiency in the language. This study is to identify tenses transferred negatively and positively from L1 (Bahasa Melayu) to English (L2) essays among Form Two secondary students in one of the national schools in Ipoh, Perak. The design of this study is a qualitative which is appropriate to identify the phenomena. Two types of methods were used to collect data. The data collection instruments were document analysis and interview. To execute the study 24 writing samples were chosen from low proficiency level of students. They were instructed to write about 100 word essays on a given topic in English. The tenses were later corroborated and compared to substantiate the theoretical arguments in the field of language transfer. From the findings, it was found that mother tongue highly interferes in students’ writing in simple present tense, simple past tense and future simple tense. In addition, it was found that the sample employed a translation method although they understand the importance of English language.

A Descriptive Study of Stigmatization of Mental Illness: Findings from Yobe State, Nigeria
Dr. Sabo Saleh Dagona, Khamis Abdulrahman Abba – July 2020 Page No.: 426-431
I. INTRODUCTION
Mental illness is a clinically significant behavioural or psychological syndrome associated with distress (e.g., a painful symptom) or disability (i.e., impairment in one or more important areas of functioning), or with a significantly increased risk of suffering, death or an important loss of freedom. In addition, the syndrome must not be merely a predictable and culturally sanctioned response to a particular event, such as the death of a loved one. Whatever its original source, it must be considered a manifestation of a behavioural, psychological or biological dysfunction in the individual (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Mental illness can affect anyone. But some people are more at risk than others due to factors such as age, gender, economic status, disability or substance abuse. When it arises, mental illness reduces the sufferer to a level of helplessness, thereby leading to suffering. It affects the individual’s process of thinking and ability to function, consequently reducing his/her social roles and overall productivity in the community. Mental health problems place a huge burden on the family and the community at large. They are the leading cause of all non-fatal disease worldwide (Whiteford et al., 2013). Mental illness can develop at different stages of an individual’s life. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is evident from very early childhood, when children start school, as their behaviour can be compared to others of the same age, whereas conditions such as schizophrenia can develop in the late teens to early twenties for men and early to late twenties in women, There are no set conditions as to whom mental illness can affect; it often depends on the individuals’ life circumstances and events, just as is the case with physical illness (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).

Bashayi Obadiah – July 2020 Page No.: 432-440
Governments the world over, especially in developing countries, are experiencing an ever-increasing demand for improved health care, water supply, sanitation, education, housing and so on. The rising population and recent economic crisis in developing countries has affected provision of urban services neither the state nor the private sector alone can efficiently provide adequate water supply for the urban population. This paper therefore assessed enabling environment for partnership in Lafia town. The study population was 263,998 with total household of 20,308 and a sample of 500 representing 2.5% total households was chosen. The study adopt a three-stage stratified sampling method which Lafia town was divided into three Water Board area offices namely Lafia East, Lafia North and Lafia West and a systematic random sampling was used to administer questionnaires. The result of the assessment of shows that PPP is possible in Lafia town and lease contract is more favourable. The study recommends Government should formulate clear legislation and regulatory systems and qualified local, national and regional enterprises should be given the opportunity to compete for PPPs. Finally, PSP is not viewed as a rigid model, rather as a wide range of options which, at a minimum, seek to introduce commercial criteria in pricing, service delivery and/or allocation of resources.

Legal Protection for Debtors in Standard Contracts Related to the Application of the “Cross Default” Clause in Credit
Salmon Ginting – July 2020 Page No.: 441-444
The background of this research is the issue of the cross-default agreement between bank and customers. The clauses in the Bank Credit Agreement are very varied, one of which is: the “event of default” clause is a clause that gives the bank the right to unilaterally terminate credit for events determined by the bank and at the same time collect the remaining credit principal: the “event of default” elements contained in the cross default clause, such as the debtor receiving credit from several lending institutions separately in order to obtain the full amount of credit needs. This means that there are several bilateral credit agreements between the debtor and each of the crediting institutions. By law, each credit agreement is not related to each other except if in each credit agreement a cross default clause is included. The method used in this study is a normative legal research method/descriptive analytical approach. The legal strength of the cross-default agreement is weak because it is made on the basis of an imbalance of legal subjects and is indicated as having no good intentions. There is indeed no coercion, which means there is good faith, but the delivery of standard contracts with standard clauses and exoneration clauses without detailed explanation of the legal consequences is a form of denial of good faith.

The Operation of the Law Related to Human Rights in Reality
R.N.K Chandrawansa – July 2020 Page No.: 450-454
Simply the human rights are the space given to a person by the society to live a free life. A person is not an isolated creature in the society. They have to always interact with the others protecting their own human rights and rights of the others. When these rights conflict with each other, problems arise. Therefore, normal routine of the society is been disturbed. To overcome these problems people have made laws and made regulations to enforce them. But with the development of the society, sometimes there are situations that are very complicated and even the judges face problems with the applicability of laws. New issues arise due to the advancement of the society and sometimes, no laws to be applied in those situations or even if there are laws, they are not enough, and they should be amended.

Patrick, Ogechukwu Blessing – July 2020 Page No.: 455-463
The aim of this research was to analyze job motivation level of primary school teachers in Nigeria. This is a descriptive research in the survey model. The populations of the study are teachers who work in primary schools in Nigeria. The “Job Motivation Scale” data collection instrument for developed by Aksoy (2006) was used. The frequency, significance, arithmetical mean, and standard deviation of the answers were calculated. Independent t-Test and One-Way ANOVA were performed to analyze the data. When the work motivation level of these primary school teachers were analyzed according to the four dimensions of the scale, it was found to be at a high level in the dimension of integration with the job and team harmony, and low in the dimensions of commitment to the job and personal development. Again, the research findings shows that the Job motivation level of teachers for these primary school teachers shows a significant difference in terms of gender and educational level, and shows no meaningful difference in terms of age, marital status, tenure of office.

A Descriptive Analysis on Sino-Indian Geostrategic Relations in the Context of South Asia and Indian Ocean
Akkas Ahamed, Md. Sayedur Rahman – July 2020 Page No.: 477-484
The rise of China and India has restructured relations and shaped a wider area of economic cooperation in South Asian countries, where both India and China have kept their eyes on growing trade and economic progress as a security implication for long term. However, South Asian geostrategic, political and economic activities are now being pressurized that it can lead to a change in geopolitics and geo-economics in the region. Political crisis in the Indian Ocean country, Maldives, and China’s interest in constructing a naval base in the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean region are an important indicator of geostrategic change in the region. China’s huge investments in the Indian Ocean countries are not just about economic development but also about China’s aspiration to present itself as a “local power” in the Indian Ocean region. Mutual worries on China’s armed presence in both South China Sea and Indian Ocean have inspired both Indian and Indonesian governments to come up with the plan of constructing the Sabang port. Although many observers think that the China’s presence in the region is peaceful and for ensuring the security of navigation. However, this study has described about the geostrategic relations of China and India in the context of their interests in South Asia and Indian Ocean. It is a descriptive study based on secondary data. At the end of the study, some strategies have been suggested to improve the relations between China and India through promoting trade and investment in the region instead of confronting each other in South Asia and Indian Ocean.

Seinulabdeen Nathira Jahan, Mohamed Haniffa Mohamed Nairoos, Mohamed Shafeek Fathima Sulaiha – July 2020 Page No.: 490-495
Takaful (Islamic insurance) is growing rapidly but it is still behind conventional insurance. Most of the researches reveal the fact that general public is unaware about Takaful and Takaful awareness level is low among general public. Hence, the major objective of this study is to explore the awareness level as well as knowledge level of Takāful. For this purpose, a representative sample of 160 respondents which comprise general Muslim public from Sammanthurai division participated in this survey. Random sampling is used to measure the Takāful awareness and Descriptive analysis used to analyze the data collected from via questionnaires. Furthermore, The finding of this study indicated that out of 160 respondents, only 49 of them are aware of Takāful while 45 respondents do not know about Takāful and others majority of respondents are not conformed about it. Although, Takāful is being offered in Sri Lanka since 1999, its awareness seems to be low. It is recommended that Takāful operators should enhance their marketing strategy and simplify the product features to capture the untouched market.

The Camouflaged Altar: A Review of the Hidden Interests in the Church and Their Implications on the Society at Large
Serah Madiiga Kitsiiri – July 2020 Page No.: 496-500
In present times, the word church has different meanings for different individuals. This is according to their experience and institutions. The fact that the church has been affected by modernity has changed its actual face. As humankind increases in earthly knowledge, the purity of the altar is totally compromised. The altar has been used to promote hidden interests from a few malicious individuals. Each and every day, we wake up to negative news from the media about the church; proving the fact that the altar, acting as a connecting point between humankind and God has several evils, inter alia, greed, all manners of immorality, leadership wrangles, dirty politics and corruption, cultic operations, fiction and stage-managed signs and words, but covered with white linen that portrays holiness. Simply, this can be referred to as a camouflaged altar, where different faces of the clergy can be discovered, all hidden in the name of God. This paper therefore discusses this problem through reviewing of existing literature on different issues pertaining to the subject in context, and the implications of the same to the larger society. The study concludes that the current state of most churches indeed raises concerns of spiritual misguidance and confusion about the reality of God, implying that the society at large may end up lacking a guiding factor if the trend continues.

Vernacular Broadcast and National Disintegration in East Africa
Ikuathu Silas Thuranira – July 2020 Page No.: 501-508
This paper assesses the role of the media in instigating conflict and tension in society leading to break ups of nationhood in various states in East Africa. The paper isolates two case studies, Kenya and Rwanda, to illustrate how the vernacular radio can be a catalyst to ethnic violence in the region. The paper asserts that there is great need to monitor the spread of hate speech through the radio stations that broadcast in vernacular languages. It is also revealed that the vernacular radio is more susceptible to the abuse by the politicians because of it accessibility and effectiveness in reaching out to even the non-literate members of the society. However, the researcher also found out that there are other means in which hate speech is transmitted such as direct address to the people by the politicians in meetings and through the newspapers. The paper recommends that East African states need to come up with more proactive policies and legal regulations to prevent the propagation of hate speech and any other divisive discourses that might cause ethnic violence. The paper contends that broadcasters need to hire highly trained journalists who may be able to uphold professional norms and ethics.

Does Export to Japan Promote Economic Growth in Africa? A Panel Data Analysis
Gael Fokam – July 2020 Page No.: 509-514
This study investigates how export to Japan affects economic growth in 8 African countries, namely: Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria, South Africa and Tanzania for the period 2004 – 2016. For this purpose we employ Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), fixed effects (FE) and random effect estimations. The empirical evidence shows that export to japan positively affects economic growth of selected African countries. The above findings are broadly consistent with ELG hypothesis and most empirical studies.

How to Assess the Stability Status of Your Marriage
Dr. Eliud O. Oyoo, PhD. – July 2020 Page No.: 515-519
The marriage institution ideally is expected to be stable, full of love and care for each other. However, the holy institution seems to be under attack from several quarters and is in serious problems as is evidenced by increased marital violence, high divorce rates, numerous separations and many other family problems. By all standards, the desire to marry or get married and hence stay in the institution is still statistically significant in all human kind. This study investigated perceptions of marriage counselors on protective factors of marriage stability, how to detect the stability status of any marriage and hence fix the marriage problem. It was a cross-sectional survey research design done under mixed method research approaches as well as document analysis. The sample comprised 123 participants drawn from church ministers, church elders, advocates of marriage and marriage counselors. A questionnaire developed by the researcher was used in data collection. Check list was used for filtering key themes from past document research analysis. Quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive statistics-means and percentages. Qualitative data was analyzed by synchronizing developing themes from research document analysis. Ethical considerations were strictly observed to the acceptable standards of behavioural sciences. Protective factors of marriage stability were identified as: Fidelity, sexual satisfaction, Respect and honor, presence of biological children of the desired sex, narrow difference in educational level between the married partners, financial ability of the couple especially the husband, ease of communication between the married partners, similarities in cultural attitudes and that of their close friends, dialogue conflict resolution approach, commitment to common spiritual beliefs, healthy and well groomed married partners especially the wife, creation and planning time for each other, loving intimacy, narrow age gap and legalizing the marriage. Marriage stability assessment tool was developed and generally accepted to be efficient in predicting the stability status of any marriage. The instrument can be used to diagnose any unique problem of any marriage and hence through competent counseling offered to willing marriage partners, their marriage can be rejuvenated to a near stable and happy institution.

Funding Challenges and Their Effect on Growth of Public Universities in Kenya: A Case of Pwani University
Wilmina Uchi Tunje, Dr. Kenneth Muschelwicz – July 2020 Page No.: 520-526
Funding is a central pillar in the growth and development of any organization. The Kenyan Government funds public universities through annual budgetary allocations with a view of achieving its national goals. Over the years, demand for university education in Kenya has increased exponentially, thereby triggering growth. This has forced public universities to operate with an element of financial distress. The presence of financial trouble in public universities has led to limited growth. The study sought to assess the effects of funding challenges on the growth of public universities in Kenya using Pwani University as a case study. The study targeted top management, Deans of schools, Chairpersons of departments, and Heads of administrative sections. The study used a cross-sectional survey research design, and questionnaires were used as the primary tool of data collection. Data was processed and analyzed with the aid of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software. Descriptive and inferential analyses were duly conducted. The study revealed that funding challenges affect the growth of Pwani University as supported by an R-value of 71.9%. Further, the findings also revealed that problems with internally generated funds greatly influence the growth of the University as supported by a p-value of 0.809. The study recommends that public universities diversify their income generation activities to sustain and foster their growth.

The Role of Uwezo Fund on the Economic Growth of Small and Medium Enterprises in Kiambu Couty, Kenya
Eunice Wamuyu Macharia, Dr. Jane Gakenia Njoroge – July 2020 Page No.: 527-537
Empirical Literature review indicates that financial challenge is the greatest obstacle that most small and medium enterprises (SMEs) face. Most of them opt to get subsidized governmental loans e.g Uwezo Fund, Youth enterprises fund and Women enterprises fund to finance their businesses. The researcher attempted to establish the role of Uwezo Fund on the SMEs growth. The significance of SMEs is largely recognized. Finance accessibility and other support services including training helps SMEs to grow. Uwezo Fund was started by the Kenyan government to help in eradication of extreme poverty and hunger and promote business start-ups especially by women, youth and people living with disabilities at constituency level. The researcher utilized Descriptive survey research design. 201 SMEs groups that had benefited from the Uwezo Fund in Juja constituency were the target population of which a sample of 61 respondents was selected which is thirty percent of the whole population. To collect data the researcher distributed Questionnaires to the respondents. Descriptive data analysis assisted by Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) was utilized in analysis. Bar graphs, tables and pie charts are forms in which data was presented. Percentages and frequencies were also used in presentation. The study outcome determined the role played by Uwezo fund towards SMEs’ economic growth in terms of creation of jobs and sales and profit generation. The theories that were used in the study to explain why SMEs chose Uwezo fund rather than other forms of financing are Trade off theory and Pecking order theory.

Erosion of Traditional Institutional Authority and Effects on African Indigenous Knowledge Systems in Management of Mopane Woodland Resources in the Luangwa Valley, Zambia
George Kampamba, Ignatius Mukunto – July 2020 Page No.: 538-545
The study aimed to establish erosion of traditional institutional authority and the effects on African indigenous knowledge systems in management of natural resources base. Impacts political and economic systems have on traditional institutional authority and indigenous knowledge systems for management of mopane woodland resources in the Luangwa Valley, Zambia are reviewed. Zambia’s current political landscape regards traditional institutional authority as secondary even though the legitimacy and relevance of these institutions cannot be disputed. These institutions worked well before colonialism based on rules and traditions that promoted social order in a community, guaranteed safety, security, effective natural resources management and justice. Today, these roles are not recognized. They are not considered as a major embodiment of African indigenous knowledge systems. Traditional institutional authority and African indigenous knowledge systems are undoubtedly neglected and headed for eventual total erosion in Zambia. The political system wields much authority in rule making and application, and enforcement even on matters that fall under the jurisdiction of traditional leadership as in the case of management of mopane woodland resources in the Luangwa Valley, Zambia. Therefore, it is imperative that mechanisms that invoke an appreciation of traditional authority, African indigenous knowledge systems for natural resource management and participation are embodied in modern governance, management structures and conventional science. This is about reviving and protecting African indigenous knowledge systems; promoting passing of knowledge between generations, restoring and affirming confidence in traditional institutions for governing natural resources

Refugees Role in Proliferation of Small Arms and Light Weapons: The Case of Kakuma Refugees Camp -Kenya
Moses Mugambi Mutwiri, Pius Kipkorir Cheruiyot, Shadrack Kipkoech Sitienei – July 2020 Page No.: 546-551
Intra-state conflicts and resultant population displacements transcending their territorial boundaries to seek safer heavens in the neighboring states world over. This situation is aggravated by the fact that weapons used in this conflict find their way to refugee camps hence posing a security threat not only in the camp but also to the surrounding environs. This paper seeks to unearth the role played by refugees in proliferation of small arms and light weapons in Kakuma camp in Kenya. The paper was guided by the following objectives: to find out the origin of small arms and light weapons that proliferate in Kenya, to examine the reasons why they proliferate and finally the types of weapons that proliferate. The paper adopted a mixed approach in data collection and analysis. The paper found that; the weapons that proliferate originate from unstable neighboring states, the reasons for their proliferation are numerous ranging from their availability, portability and protection, the types of small and light weapons are: MK 4, FN, G3 FMP, G3 COF and AK 47. The paper finally recommends that there should be concerted efforts by the concerned states to address the issues leading to refugee’s situations to mitigate on proliferation of small arms and light weapons.

Steven Owino Adongo, Samuel Otieno John, Philip Zeph & Ruth Nehema Muyima – July 2020 Page No.: 562-568
The agricultural sector is the bedrock of Kenyan economy and exhibit a potential is employment creation, poverty reduction and increasing food security. This study purposed to examine the impacts of monetary policy on the Agricultural sector gross domestic product in Kenya. Using the annual data for the period of 1981 to 2019, the study conducted empirical analysis to determine the relationship between monetary policy and agricultural domestic product using OLS regression model. The monetary policy instruments that were selected are broad money supply (M2), Central Bank Rates (CBR), Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) and Exchange Rate (ER). Both ADF and Philip-Perron unit root tests were done to confirm if the variables were stationary and Johansen Co-integration test was done to confirm short and long run relationships. The empirical findings revealed that broad money supply has a positive influence on agricultural GDP while exchange rate displayed a negative impact on the performance agricultural sector. Government’s increase of budgetary allocation to support agriculture and monetary policy commission commitment to maintain exchange rate volatility are necessary to realize full potential of agricultural sector.

The Changing Nature of Nigeria’s Foreign Policy: Whose Interest?
Ogele, Eziho Promise, Okutalukwe, Chidiebere Timothy – July 2020 Page No.: 577-584
Nigerian foreign policy thrust commenced in 1960 after the attainment of political sovereignty from Britain. Africa was projected as the centrepiece of Nigeria’s external decisions. Every successive administration continued to emphasize and expand the principles of Nigeria’s Foreign Policy decisions on Africa. Besides afrocentricism, the foreign policy served the interest of Mr President, ruling and business elites, and the ordinary citizens abroad. The previous governments showed little or no concern about the welfare of her citizens abroad. However, in 2007, the Nigerian government adopted citizen’s diplomacy as her foreign policy thrust, whose aim was geared toward mobilizing the support of Nigerians at home and diaspora to develop the country economically and politically. Though, Citizen’s diplomacy was misconstrued initially. The misrepresentation was anchored on the fact Nigeria has abandoned her traditional approach foreign policy thrust (afrocentricism) to Nigeria’s citizens at home and diaspora. However, citizen diplomacy underscores the protection of Nigeria’s image and integrity at home and abroad. At present, President Buhari’s administration’s foreign policy drive focused on Nigerians at diaspora as never before. Therefore, the paper aimed at examining the changing nature of Nigeria’s foreign policy thrust; and its beneficiaries. The paper adopted a Concentric Circles model as its analytical construct. The paper recommends amongst others that Nigerian government should design robust economic programmes that are geared towards improving and enhancing economic development predicated on creating employment opportunities, encouraging local production, curbing corruption and supporting the industrial infrastructure.

A Pragmatic Analysis of Impoliteness in the Wedlock of the Gods by Zulu Sofola
Steve E. Oseafiana and Don’ Emenike – July 2020 Page No.: 591-597
The purpose of the study is to investigate the impoliteness strategies used in the play Wedlock of the Gods by Zulu Sofola. The study applies Culpeper’s theory of Impoliteness to the interpretation of selected extracts in order to establish specific impoliteness strategies that are used by the characters to realise the thematic preoccupation of the play. The study shows that such impoliteness strategies such as bald on record, bald on record combined with sarcasm, positive impoliteness and sarcasm and negative impoliteness are used in the play. The strategies are mainly used to achieve affective functions since they are targeted at expressing anger and discontent about the actions of the addressee(s). The study has implication for the understanding of the human emotion and how it triggers the use of impoliteness in communication.

Teachers’ Perception of Co-Curricular Participation on Students’ Academic Performance and Self-Concept in Rift Valley Region, Kenya
Wilson Kiptala, John Kipruto – July 2020 Page No.: 598-603
The study sought to investigate teachers’ perception of co-curricular participation on students’ academic performance and self-concept. The objectives of the study were to: investigate the perception of teachers on the relationship between co-curricular participation by students and their self-concept, examine the relationship between gender, co-curricular participation perception and academic performance, and investigate gender and training of students in co-curricular participation and their influence on teachers’ perception of students’ participation in co-curricular activities. The ontology was post-positivism and the epistemology was realist/objectivist. The research method was quantitative. The research design was ex-post-facto. A total of 72 volleyball players, 124 football players and 82 teachers participated in the study. A stratified random sampling technique was used to select the sample. The data was collected using a Likert scaled questionnaire. Data was analyzed using frequencies, percentages, means, standard deviations, t-test, Pearson r and a two way ANOVA at p >.05 level of significance. The major finding of the study showed that: participation in co-curricular activities has no significant relationship with academic performance, [t(194) = -1.36, p = .176. Based on the findings it was recommended that there was need to explore on a theory that can guide co-curricular participation in academic institutions.

The incidence of mergers and acquisitions tend to strain post-acquisition employees due to the tension and anxiety that their attendant job losses, redundancies, and work overload generate. Since mergers and acquisitions are virtually inevitable in today’s global economy, with employees exposed to new coworkers, new leadership, and new organizational cultures, understanding how these can be employed to stem job strain and its consequent threats on productivity and employee wellbeing is imperative. This research specifically aimed at investigating how job strain can be mitigated by the culture of organizational integration with social support from superiors and coworkers determining when and the extent to which this can happen. Employing a correlation design, a sample of 304 junior and mid-level employees of new generation commercial banks and telecommunication organizations in Lagos Nigeria responded to a survey instrument comprising relevant measures. Moderated regression analysis was carried out on the data generated which revealed significant negative influences of organizational integration, superior’s support, and coworker support on job strain; significant moderation of integration*job strain relationship by superior’s support; and insignificant moderation of same by coworker support. Post hoc analyses, regarding the integration*superior’s support interaction, revealed that superior’s support was effective in moderating the influence of organizational integration on job strain only when supportive leaders—to whom employees were directly subordinated—were involved in the integration process. Managements of merging organizations need to imbibe and effectively deploy the culture of integrating old and new employees, ensuring that superiors and management staff play significant supportive roles in the process.

Barriers to HIV Positive Status Disclosure among Spouses in Kibera Slum, Nairobi County; Kenya
Winfred Mbula Nzioka, Dr. Dennis Nyongesa Wamalwa, PhD, John Oduor Ondiege – July 2020 Page No.: 615-620
This study aimed to explore the reasons underlying the barriers to disclosing positive status to spouses among people with HIV infection. This was a qualitative exploratory study where 12 respondents participated in the study which had one focus group discussion of 6 members who had disclosed their HIV positive status to their spouses and individual sessions for the 6 members who had not disclosed their status to spouses. They were purposively recruited from 6 deferent post- test clubs they attended within Kibera informal settlement and who were all receiving health care services at MSF Belgium based facilities in Kibera informal settlement. Both one on one and FGD sessions were audiotaped recorded with permission from participants and were verbatim transcribed. Data was analyzed qualitatively by thematic analysis technique. Five major themes emerged from the data; fear of abandonment, fear of rejection/ discrimination, fear of violence, fear of upsetting family members and fear of accusation of infidelity. The study recommended that ongoing Counselling and HIV support groups through post-test clubs may present a key opportunity for discussing fears and concerns around disclosure as well as sharing disclosure strategies amongst peers.

Markers of Ethnic Identity and Factors that Contributed to the Death of the Ngoni Language of Zambia
Elliot Machinyise, Martin Chabu, Kasebula Francis – July 2020 Page No.: 625-628
This paper examines some factors that contributed to the death of Ngoni language of Eastern province of Zambia. The study was carried out in Chipata town, the home district of Ngoni people. The paper also attempts to establish factors behind the vitality the Ngoni ethnic identity. A case study was conducted in a multi-ethnic community in which Ngonis were identified through their names and clans. A total of 25 participants were interviewed to elicit the participants’ ability to speak Ngoni language and knowledge of their clan background. The data collection method was complimented by information from written sources about Ngoni language. It has been revealed that factors such as intermarriage between Ngoni people and Nsenga speakers coupled with migration and Christianity led to the gradual extinction of Ngoni language. Despite the language shift of ngonis to Nsenga and Tumbuka languages, Ngonis have maintained the vitality of Ngoni ethnic identity due to their strong cultural values and practices.

The Effect of Corrupt Practices in Health Care Delivery Systems: A Case Study of Bayelsa State
Wisdom Selekekeme Krokeyi, Ben Tantua – July 2020 Page No.: 629-633
The term ‘Corruption’ in Nigeria remains a critical concern for many. It has eaten deep into the fabric of the countries socio-cultural and political economy lifestyle/governance systems. This paper examines the impact of corrupt practices in the health systems of Bayelsa state. It adopted a number of instruments such stratified sampling techniques, chi square tests, charts and primary questionnaire to respondents in 8 LGAs in generating and analysing data. The results showed that 53% respondents (non-practitioners) paid for visiting health facility which indicates that non-practitioners at the grassroots do pay extra for services that ought to be free. Also, 22% respondents (practitioners) agreed paying to be posted to different healthcare facility. This is also a clear exhibition of corruption in the healthcare sector which affect quality healthcare service delivery in Bayelsa state as medical practitioners such as nurses, doctors, and public health workers pay money to be posted to lucrative health centres. Thus, the hypothesis that corruption has no significant impact on healthcare delivery in Bayelsa State is rejected with the conclusion that corruption has a significant impact on healthcare delivery in Bayelsa state based on the perception of non-practitioners. The study recommends that the federal government should sustain its fight against corruption in the health sector of Nigeria. This recommendation is made to mitigate cog in the wheel of quality healthcare services delivery in Bayelsa State in particular and Nigeria in general.

Women and Culture in the Hard Days of Indenture: The Case of Mauritius
Varsharanee Bissessur-Doolooa – July 2020 Page No.: 634-641
This paper aims to highlight the pivotal role of women in the island of Mauritius during the hard days of indenture, where they landed as dependent beings yet they proved to be robust in supporting the male migrants both physically and emotionally. It [mainly] focuses on women being instrumental in establishing a stable family life and also lays emphasis on the presence of women that was crucial in building the Indo-Mauritian community, by sowing cultural and religious roots on a new land, which was to become their homeland. A qualitative research methodology, more precisely the document analysis method has been used to explore and evaluate the social facts during indenture, based on books, journals, newspaper articles, documentary films and previous studies, that provide historical insights. Marina Carter has been a major reference by virtue of her authoritative studies and publications on immigration in Mauritius. While scholars, as in ([7]-[13]), [23] and [28] have elaborated on the contribution of the first generation of Indian women in the socio-economic field of Mauritius, little has been mentioned about women and culture. In this endeavour, the biosocial theory as well as a reflexive approach has been preferred to understand the lifestyle and perseverance of women of Indian origin in the cultural domain.

M. K. Gandhi and Question of Women
Dr. Vandana Parmar- July 2020 Page No.: 642-644
I. INTRODUCTION
In the twentieth century, M. K. Gandhi became an important leader, due to growing awareness in Indian people, anger against the ‘petition’ method, criticisms against the British imperialism and consolidations of the Indian National Congress. He fought against British colonialism with the new technique that is non-violent struggle. His analysis of social issues brought the question of inferior status of Indian women and the existence of untouchability in the political domain. He rejected western civilization, parliamentary democracy and English education system in relation to appreciation of Indian tradition, spirituality, and morality, however, criticised negative social norms and exploitative customs (such as child marriage, dowry system, enforced widowhood and so on) that replicated the inferior status of Indian women.

Ibsen, Yeats, Synge and the Development of Irish Cultural and Political Identity
Didachos Mbeng Afuh (Ph.D) – July 2020 Page No.: 645-651
Ireland’s over seven hundred years under British imperialism saw its national identity suffer immeasurably as the Irish themselves did. This is because imperialism was an educational movement where colonizers set out to “consciously modernize, develop, instruct, and civilize the colonized” (Said, 94). As many commentators of Irish history of colonization have reported, Irish native features like the ancient Gaelic culture, Ireland’s mother tongue, Irish traditions, thoughts and ideas, to say nothing of its independent identity were Anglicized. This article focuses on the cultural and political struggle for a reawakening of the Irish consciousness, and defends the view that the adoption of Ibsen’s works in Ireland was largely responsible for future political and literary developments in Ireland. I argue that Ibsen’s writings succeeded in establishing a new type of national identity in Ireland.
Ibsen’s early plays like The Pretenders, without doubt, drove the poetic dramatist, W.B. Yeats to focus on dignifying Ireland’s Celtic past and Irish peasant life. By symbolically representing the Gaelic culture with its legends and heroes in Cathleen Ni Houlihan, Yeats intended to make the Irish conscious of their historical and mythological heritage. He used traditional Celtic symbols and shaped them in his own way. With this, he succeeded in transferring them into contemporary Ireland with a slightly different additional meaning. In addition, Ibsen’s master piece, An Enemy of the People, caused Synge to write plays that violated the existing picture of Irish nationality, thus bringing to limelight his personal conception of a new Irish political identity.

Influence of Parental Socio-Economic Characteristics on Academic Performance among Secondary School Students in Kenya: A Case of Garissa County
Yassin Isse Wardere, Dr. Peter Koome, Dr George C.O Maroko – July 2020 Page No.: 656-667
The study aimed at understanding how parental socio-economic factors influenced academic performance of children in Kenya. The study used Garissa County as a case to draw a conclusion. The study had the following specific objectives: to assess the role of household economic status on academic performance of children in selected secondary schools in Garissa County; to establish the nature of the relationships between social factors as measured by education level of parents on academic performance of children; to determine the influence of parenting style on academic performance of children; to evaluate the place of social safety nets on academic performance of the children. The study used qualitative and quantitative research methods. It adopted a descriptive research design. The target population was derived from the parents and teachers in Garissa County. A sample of 160 was used from the target population. Purposive and random sampling techniques were used to select participants in the study. Data was collected from a sample of 160 students currently attending secondary school in Garissa County. Data collection instruments included questionnaires, interviews and observation techniques. This quantitative data was complemented with qualitative data collected from key informants namely head teachers, deputy head teachers and local chiefs. Data was analyzed using frequency distributions, measures of central tendency and dispersion as well as cross-tabulations and the findings were presented using, graphs, diagrams, figures, reports and charts. Qualitative data was analyzed using content analysis methods. The study was conducted in Garissa County. The findings were used to address the issues affecting the education system in Kenya. As hypothesized, economic status of the household as measured by ownership of a car was found to be statistically associated with academic achievement of children. In particular, children from well off families were more likely than other to emerge top of their class. Mother’s level of education was also found to be associated with better school performance but there was no statistically significant association between father’s education and academic performance of the sampled children. Social safety nets were found to be non-existence. Based on these findings, the study recommended policy change to give more focus on the unique barriers to educational attainment in Garissa County. Finally, more research was recommended to shed light on other factors besides parental characteristics that hinder educational achievement in arid and semi arid areas. The study focused on the period between.
Study Findings
i- The findings showed that majority of the students (63%) who came from households that own a car performed better in their academics they constituted only 12% of the total number of respondents. Acquiring symbols such as cars are thought to raise a family’s status. This supported (Huskin & Meij, 2013) and agrees with (Uvarov & Yastrebov, 2014) who by using hierarchical regression models found out that students with families from higher economic standing performed better. On Household social factors and academic performance , the study showed that there was a 95% significance of the mother’s level of education and how a student performed at school, in difference to the father’s level of education where there was no significance. Majority of top performers (51.9%) came from households that mother’s had secondary education and above. This is in contrast to 25% of top performers from a background of no maternal education. Indeed this supports claims by (Hernandez & Napierala, 2014) Additionally, according to (Rouse & Barrow, 2006) there is a connection between the mother’s educational attainment and that of the children. On Parenting style and academic performance this study showed at 95% confidence level that the children from very supportive families achieved high educational levels. 42.6% of the top performers came from very supportive families, while 7.3% of the students from non-supportive families came top of their class. In relation to checking the performance of the students, 40.5% of the respondents performed best when their mothers checked up on their school work. Those who were never checked on, only 20.8% came top of their class and a whopping 50% were low performers. The study also revealed that there was no relation to performance of the student and the father’s involvement in the school work. This finding was supported by (Hill & Taylor, 2004) who agreed that as much as these variables have a long standing basis in research, it is important to look at the context in which the involvement of a parent takes place. With respect to school feeding programme as safety net, the study found that there was no specific programme that focused on feeding the students principally because the target schools were secondary school. Such programme, although many and very important in ASAL regions, target only primary schools. In this regard, secondary schools offer meals as part of the package for the student which is factored in the school fees paid by the parent.

The Role of ESP in Improving English Competency in Students Health Analysis Study Program
Nova Mustika, Harleni – July 2020 Page No.: 668-670
This study aims to identify and analyze the needs of ESP learning materials in nursing students. To find out these needs, needs to be done needs analysis so that students get the material needed to support their learning process at this time or in a future career. The study was conducted with a qualitative approach and descriptive method. The research sample was nursing student class P17C who was taking an English course. Sampling uses a purposive random sampling technique. The research instrument used a questionnaire. Data were analyzed with descriptive techniques in the form of numbers and percentages. The results show that the needs of nursing students for ESP English courses vary so that it can be concluded that they need English not only for their current needs, but also for the benefit of future professional careers. It is therefore recommended that ESP English language teachers or interested parties can accommodate the needs of students, and always do a needs analysis because the needs of ESP learners are always changing.
