The Bridging Process: Filipino Teachers’ View on Mother Tongue
Genalyn P. Lualhati – April 2018 Page No.: 01-05
This paper recognized that teachers play the main element in the success of the new language policy, the Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) in the Philippines. Their views as implementer on this approach are essential in the attainment of the MTB-MLE objectives. In this descriptive paper, the authors report a comprehensive account of the 35 teachers’ perception on the efficiency and effectiveness of MTB approach in teaching at Malvar Central School, Batangas, Philippines for the school year 2016-2017. Using adopted questionnaire, needed data were gathered and statistically treated. The study found out that the respondents moderately perceived mother tongue- based approach as effective and efficient in achieving learning goals. The implications of these findings are discussed within the theoretical and practical issues surrounding the use of mother tongue-based in the Philippines.

Recalibrations of the Tribals’s Socio, Economic and Political Status in Tanjavur: An Explorative Study
V.Kumar – April 2018 Page No.: 06-11
Issues of tribal development, integration and autonomy have confronted the Indian society right from the British rule in India. Complexity of Indian tribal population made the task of integration and autonomy even difficult. Ethnic tribal sub nationalism posed serious challenges and hampered the progress of the communities over the time. Autonomy is desired so that development policies are evolved to suit the tribal culture and lifestyle. On the other hand leaving the tribal in their own state will deepen the developmental divide between the mainstream and the tribals even deeper. Post-independence the basic issue is that the integration is largely directed from above and not from below. Integration of tribes has neglected their own needs and desires.

Tribal Development Strategies in Tanjore District of Tamilnadu
S.Manimegalai – April 2018 – Page No.: 12-15
Integration has been on the terms of the mainstream society and it is also accused of benefitting the mainstream society only. The government monopoly over forests continued. The exploitation of forests accelerated as most of the mineral resources fall in forest and tribal areas. The policy of capital intensive industrialization adopted by the Indian government required mineral resources and power generation capacities that were concentrated in the tribal areas. Tribal lands were rapidly acquired for new mining and infrastructure projects. In the process tribals were displaced without any appropriate compensation or rehabilitation justified in the name of economic growth. These policies were often seen subjugating tribals and causing the degradation of the resources upon which they depended.

Tamilnadu on the Eve of Dutch – A Study
V. Kumar – April 2018 Page No.: 16-17
The Tamil country known as Tamilaham was a geographical unit situated in the southern end of peninsular India.For its natural divisions the people divided their lands into five namely Kurunji, Marudham, Mullai, Neydal and Palai on the nature of the soil.1This land was the abode of different communities known from time immemorial. The time immemorial society was basically divided into four major divisions known as Brahmanas, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas and Sudras.2 They migrated from place to place for some reasons. After that several new castes found a place in the social stratification of the Tamil areas including the Dutch settled areas with the arrival of Telugu and Kanarese people during the Vijayanagar days. Among them Reddiars, Cavarai Naidus, Baljas, Uppiliars, Senians and Telugu speaking Brahmins was occupied important place in their respective areas. The Dutch having come here originally as traders did not interfere in matters of customs and practices. They intermingled with the natives and allowed the natives to follow their own customs and practices so as to maintain good relation with them.

The Short-Run and Long-Run Determinant of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in Nigeria (1980 – 2014) Using ARDL (Bound Test) Approach
Olukayode, MAKU, Aduralere Opeyemi, OYELADE – April 2018 Page No.: 18-26
The study examined the short-run and long-run determinant of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Nigeria using ARDL (bound test) approach (1980 – 2014). The variables used are foreign direct investment (FDI), gross domestic product per capita (GDPPP), broad money supply (M2), trade (TRAD), inflation, consumer prices (INF), official exchange rate (EXCH), general government final consumption expenditure (GOVEEXP), school enrollment, secondary (EDU) and total electricity net consumption (ELECTCON). The data were sourced from the World Development Indicators (2015) between 1980 and 2014. The study implements ARDL model to investigate the existence of a long-run relation among the series and the dynamic model of the short-run effect. Apparently, the use of ARDL is of the submission that it can be applied irrespective of the order of integration of the variables (irrespective of whether regressors are purely [1(0)], purely [1(1)] or mutually co-integrated). The results of the study showed that there exist a long-run and short-run relationship among the variable and that the result of the long run ARDL model showed that in the long run, school enrollment (EDU), total electricity net consumption (ELECTCON), broad money (M2) and trade (TRAD) stimulate foreign direct investment (FDI) in Nigeria while the result of the short-run dynamic model shows that in the short-run, school enrollment (EDU), total electricity net consumption (ELECTCON), exchange rate (EXCH), inflation (INF) and trade (TRAD)are significant in determine foreign direct investment (FDI) in Nigeria. The study recommended that the government should invest more in infrastructure (like electricity, education, transportation, telecommunication, etc) so as to enhance the competitiveness of the environment of investment and ultimately increase FDI inflows. Also, the monetary authority should control money supply, exchange rate, inflation rate as well as GDP in other to encourage FDI in Nigeria.

The Determinants of Import in Nigeria over the Period 1980 – 2015
Aduralere Opeyemi, OYELADE – April 2018 – Page No.: 27-35
Excessive importation of goods and services has serious implications for macroeconomic stability through imported inflation. It can also engender balance of payments disequilibrium and impinge on the credit rating of a country. Excessive importation can also lead to a drain on foreign exchange reserves and further worsen the balance of payments position. Therefore the study investigated the determinants of import in Nigeria over the period 1980 to 2015. The study employed expost facto research design. Secondary time series data were used for the study and these were sourced from World Integrated Trade Solution (WITS, 2013) Database and World Development Indicator (WDI, 2016).The data collected were analyzed using autoregressive distributed lag. The inferences were drown at 5% significance level. The result showed that domestic income and index of openness exert a long-run positive and significant impact on import of goods and services in Nigeria (β = 0.91022, t = 124.4775 and β = 1.7443, t = 11.7163 respectively) but domestic interest rate exerts a long-run negative and significant impact on import of goods and services in Nigeria (β = -0.08934, t = -1.9822). While import prices, domestic income and index of openness exert a short-run positive and significant impact on import of goods and services in Nigeria (β = 0.036972, t = 2.1542; β = 0.64899, t = 8.0852 and β = 1.0345, t = 6.6297 respectively). The value of the coefficient of the dummy variable is appropriately signed and statistically significant, meaning that SAP achieved its cardinal objectives of significant reduction in import of goods and services in Nigeria through exchange rate depreciation. The study concluded that trade openness in the short-run discourages import while openness in the long run encourages import. Most of the good imported are inelastic in nature during the period selected and they are normal goods. The study recommended that recalibration of the naira since devaluation or depreciation of the domestic currency which was the main ingredient of SAP did not work and this will improve the competitiveness of exports. It will also help to improve Nigeria’s trade balance with its trading partners by making imports of machineries and equipments less expensive.

The Dynamic Relationship between Oil Revenue, Government Spending and Economic Growth in Nigeria
Olukayode, MAKU, Aduralere Opeyemi, OYELADE – April 2018 Page No.: 36-46
This study investigated the dynamic relationship between oil revenue, government spending and economic growth in Nigeria over the period 1980 to 2014. Econometric techniques which included correlation analysis, unit root test, co-integration, Granger causality and error correction model were employed to determine the direction of causality and the magnitude of impacts. The estimated coefficient of the error correction term, ECM(-1) which is also the speed of adjustment to equilibrium, was negative and statistically significant as required by the Granger representation theorem. The speed of adjustment to equilibrium required 46 per cent within a year when the variables drifted away from their equilibrium values. Also, the ECM result revealed that capital expenditure (CEXP); recurrent expenditure (REXP); oil revenue (OREV) and gross capital formation (GCF) drove economic growth positively at 5 per cent level of significance, respectively. This implied that a hundred percentage point increase in capital expenditure (CEXP); recurrent expenditure (REXP); oil revenue (OREV) and gross capital formation (GCF) caused a rise in growth of about 44 per cent; 97 per cent; 85 per cent and 29 per cent, respectively. Broad money supply (M2) negatively affects economic growth and it is insignificant.

Coastal Megacities: The Case of Lagos
IBEABUCHI Uwadiegwu, Egbu, A U and KALU Obialo A. – April 2018 Page No.: 47-58
This paper studies the risk and vulnerable of Lagos as a megacity in Nigeria due to flooding as result of rainfall being one of the major environmental problem of the coastal areas. Statistical, GIS and remote sensing techniques was adopted to map urban growth and seasonal simulation of flood water level changes using HEC-RAS simulation model and their impact on physical environment. The rainfall distribution and seasonal variations were studied. The result reveals that Flood incidents are higher in summer (JJA) and autumn (SON) than in autumn (SON) and lesser in winter (DJF) in Lagos. Vulnerability index was computed by selecting multiple indicators which represents each of the three major components (exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity) and the role of rainfall induced climate change was highlighted and stressed using statistical analysis-Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression techniques (using ArcGIS software). Flood Risk Index and factors was determined for Lagos which includes uncontrolled expansion of the built-up area, the lack of infrastructure and the failure not only to expand storm water drainage but also to maintain existing drainage systems. In bid to mitigate and adapt to flood control and management in Lagos optimal performance would be insightful to consider policies institutionalization and structural decentralization of operations along the governance framework identified.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 2018
Elsy Mathew – April 2018 – Page No.: 59-62
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is one of the most inspiring fairy tales in English literature that creates colorful pages in our imagination. Let’s get into the story.
Once upon a time, there was a king and a queen. The king was handsome and good. He loved his queen and his people. The queen was loving &beautiful, but delicate. They lived happily in their small kingdom. One morning the queen sat by the window, doing some embroidery work. It was winter time and snowing outside. Accidently she pricked her finger with the needle, and a drop of blood came out. She looked at the bright red blood and then at the pure white snow on the trees and the ground outside. A desire dawned in her mind, and she said to herself, I want to have a baby princess. She would be very beautiful. Her lips would be as red as this blood and she would be fair, as white as the snow outside. I would name her Snow White.

The Principle of Collective Bargaining in Nigeria and the International Labour Organization (ILO) Standards
Robinson Monday Olulu, UDEORAH, Sylvester Alor F. – April 2018 Page No.: 63-67
In workplace relations, there exists diverse interest with the employer on one hand driven by the quest for profits and control while the employees on the other hand drive by desire to increased wages, benefits, inclusion and expression which generally results in conflicts. However, employer, employees and their unions have, beyond the quest for and reception of fundamental freedoms and rights, also evolved ways of engagement with a view to resolving diverse issues of interest through voluntary negotiations. They are therefore unanimous that collective bargaining is a useful panacea in the workplace for industrial peace. Bargaining has therefore gone from the individual employer/employee relation to standard workplace concept in line with the emergence of fundamental freedoms and trade unionization. This paper looks at the concept of collective bargaining within the context of the international labour organization and the application, challenges and limitations of the same concept in Nigeria.

Local Content Policy and Entrepreneurs in the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry: Determinants of Compliance and Implication for the Economy
VINCENT, Moses Owede, UDEORAH, Sylvester Alor F. – April 2018 Page No.: 68-78
The evolution of the local content policy in many countries of the world is considered a response to the call for patronage and engagement of local entrepreneurs and a possible resultant development of entrepreneurs in a particular country. The Nigerian government also deemed it necessary to design and sign into law the Nigerian Content Act which provides for the development of Nigerian content in the Nigerian oil and gas industry in the year 2010. This paper examined the determinants of compliance with the provision of the Nigerian Oil and Gas Industry Content Development Bill by entrepreneurs who owns and manage marine vessel service companies in Nigeria. Secondary data collected from the Nigerian Content Regulatory body was used in this study. Using multinomial logit and probit regression econometric technique, owning a Nigerian built and flagged vessel was not a significant determinant of compliance but rather having and operating different categories of vessels proved to be the significant determinant of compliance to the Nigerian content act by vessel owners. It was therefore recommended that the government should give grants to vessel owners to enable them acquire all the categories of vessels and hence comply with the policy to the benefit of the nation.

Animal Genotypes Election Design for Disease Resistance
Ward M. Ashraf, Abuargob M. Omry, Hdud M. Ismail, Elgusbi M. Tarek, Al Zlitne A. Rabia, Aswehli A. Abdelatef and Ruban Y. Sergey – April 2018 Page No.: 79-86
Resistance – the body’s resistance to the action of physical, chemical and biological agents that cause a pathological condition. This concept is somewhat broader than immunity, although they are sometimes used as synonyms. Susceptibility is a predisposition of the body to the action of physical, chemical and biological factors that lead to a pathological condition. Stability and susceptibility in animals of one species, as a rule, is not absolute, but relative. It can be high, medium and low. In modern conditions, along with high productivity, it is required that animals have resistance to diseases and, above all, to such common ones as leukemia, mastitis, tuberculosis, infectious gastroenteritis, etc., which cause huge economic damage to farms. The genetic resistance of farm animals to diseases is caused by many genes and therefore the selection for resistance will be long and slow. It is necessary to operate with groups of animals (lines, families, related groups). In addition, it is not necessary to talk about absolute stability, despite the high cost of assessing animals. Diseases are a major constraint on the intensive production of animal. Selecting cattle most resistant to the development of infectious diseases will decrease costs of production and should therefore be included in the overall breeding objective. Such selection goals may include resistance to infection with a pathogen (absence of susceptibility), resistance to disease (no-development of disease), tolerance (capability of untreated individuals to maintain a reasonable level of productivity in the face of disease), and resilience (ability of affected individuals to require minimal treatment to maintain acceptable performance). Selection for single trait of milk yield for many years have led to genetic erosion of genes responsible for disease resistance, adaptability etc. Therefore, selection strategies to include these neglected traits in the selection objectives of dairy animals are need of the hour for sustainable dairy in the unpredictable climatic condition. Certainly, genetic selection will not solve all of our livestock disease problems. Therefore, management, nutrition, vaccination, culling, therapeutic treatment, stress reduction practices and other measures must accompany genetic approaches to reduce the impact of livestock disease on profitability and animal wellbeing.

Capital Market and Economic Growth in Nigeria: An Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Bounds Testing Approach
INIMINO, Edet Etim, BOSCO, Itoro Ekpenyong, ABUO, Michael Abang – April 2018 – Page No.: 87-96
The study examined capital market and economic growth in Nigeria from 1986 to 2016. The main objective of the study was to examine the impact of capital market on economic growth in Nigeria. The data for the study were sourced from CBN statistical bulletin. The Augmented Dickey-Fuller test and Autoregressive Distributed Lag model were used as the main analytical tools. The ADF unit test result revealed stationarity of the variables at order zero and one, which satisfied the requirement to employ the ARDL Bounds testing approach. The ARDL Bounds test revealed the existence of long run relationship among the variables. Moreover, the result revealed that market capitalization has positive and significant effects on economic growth both in the short and long run. Number of deals has a positive and significant effect on economic growth in the long run but negative and insignificant effect on economic growth in the short run. However, volume of transaction has a negative and significant effect on economic growth in both the long run and the short run. The result also revealed that interest rate has positive and insignificant effect on economic growth in the long run. While in the short run, it has a positive and significant effect on economic growth. Based on the above findings, the study concluded that capital market has impacted on economic growth in Nigeria and recommended among others that there should be improvement in the moribund market capitalization, by encouraging more foreign investors to participate in the market, maintain state of the art technology like automated trading and settlement practices, electronic fund clearance and eliminate physical transfer of shares. Also, regulatory authorities should restore confidence to the market by ensuring transparency and fair trading dealings and transactions in the market to enhance economic growth.

Navigating the Cacophony of Human Rights Claims and Chain of Fraud in Nigeria: The Anti-Corruption Perspective
Mike Opeyemi OMILUSI – April 2018 Page No.: 97-112
Since the Buhari administration assumed power, it has earned the people’s confidence with its anti-corruption efforts. Making culprits to account for their past unlawful deeds, in a very aggressive manner ever witnessed in the nation’s political history, generates different reactions among Nigerians. However, some questions remain pertinent to this study: Are Nigerians really advocating persecution or prosecution in respect of the graft suspects? Do they want conviction without being convinced? Is their outburst propelled by emotions and revengeful anticipation of having suspected looters of the nation’s commonwealth behind bars? Can the war be successfully fought without resorting to impunity? After setting the context for this study concerning the trends in the uncovered chain of fraud, the interconnectedness between the anti-corruption war and the rule of law, this study draws from an on-going prosecution of corruption suspects, particularly those who served in the last administration, and their frequent complaints of violation of fundamental human rights viz-a-viz the activities of the anti-graft agencies. The cardinal objective of this study, therefore, is to interrogate the Buhari administration’s anti-corruption war within the context of the rule of law particularly, in relation to those standing trial on the one hand and anxiety for justice by Nigerians on the other hand.

Taxation and Economic Growth in Nigeria
INIMINO, Edet Etim, ABUO, Michael Abang, BOSCO, Itoro Ekpenyong – April 2018 Page No.: 113-122
The paper examined the impact of tax revenue on economic growth in Nigeria from 1980 to 2015. The data used in the study were sourced from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin. The study used data on real gross domestic product, petroleum profit tax, company income tax and customs and excise duties. The econometrics methods of Co-integration and ECM were employed as the major analytical techniques. The Co-integration result revealed the existence of a long-run relationship among the variables. The Parsimonious Error Correction result revealed that company income tax and customs and excise duties have positive and significant relationship with economic growth in Nigeria. However, petroleum profit tax impacted on economic growth in Nigeria but not significantly. Also, the coefficient of the parsimonious ECM has the appropriate sign (i.e., negative) and statistically significant. This implies that, the short run dynamics adjust to long run equilibrium relationship. The study therefore concluded that government should ensure that tax revenue together with revenue from other sources are efficiently used to make expenditures on education, housing, transportation, agriculture, health, power, road construction, national defense, among others that will help the various sectors of the economy to function very well thereby enhancing the growth and development of the country. To achieve this, government must avoid mismanagement, corruption and embezzlement. Government should also identify and eliminate all administrative loopholes for tax revenue to contribute significantly to economic growth of the country.

Flexibility of the Language of Billboard Advertisements in Nigeria
Ojo George Adekunle – April 2018 – Page No.: 133-137
This study is on the pliability of language as it is being used in advertisement in Nigeria. The paper has explored what may be regarded as the style of English Language through manipulation to achieve its usage in advertisement. Data for the study were collected from five bill boards positioned at strategic places on highways in Nigeria. The analysis of the data showed generally that language of advertisement is not restricted to the novel sentences we use alone but evident in lexical formation. It also revealed that manufacturers invest more in advertisement as one of the best marketing strategies.

Assessment of ECOWAS Interventions in Guinea Bissau, Burkina Faso and the Gambia
Charles Akale, Kingsley Chigozie Udegbunam, Julie Sanda – April 2018 – Page No.: 138-142
The increase in violent hostilities on the African continent since the 1990s can be attributed to the withdrawal of super power strategic interest in Africa following the end of the Cold War. The end of the Cold War dramatically changed the global strategic landscape. Although threat of big power and regional conflicts diminished, the security landscape became characterized by political fragmentation. In the Third World particularly West Africa has experienced many conflicts arising from a multiplicity of causes such as bad governance among others. The intensity and carnage that attended these conflicts, coupled with the inactions of the “big powers”, reinforced the need for an “African solution” to what was largely perceived as an “African problem”. Regional organizations such as the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) began to intervene in countries such as Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea and Ivory Coast through its intervention force-ECOWAS Cease-Fire Monitoring Group (ECOMOG).

Michael Chukwunaekwu Nwafor, Aremu Israel Yomi – April 2018 – Page No.: 143-149

Findings revealed that financial inclusion have significant impact on economic groowth in Nigeria and that financial industry intermediation have not influenced financial inclusion within the period under review. It was recommended that Nigerian banks should develop financial products to reach the financially excluded regions of the country as this will increase GDP per capital of Nigeria and consequently economic growth.
