Kenya’s Export of Cut Flowers to the European Union: A Constant Market Share Analysis
Mathew Kipkoech Bartilol, Sharon Jebiwot Keror, Harrison Kimutai Yego – April 2019 Page No.: 01-08
Kenya is one of the leading exporters of cut flower export products to the European Union market. It is the most important market for Kenya’s horticultural produce. This paper explores at length the market shares and lack of export growth of Kenya’s cut flower exports to the European Union market using a Constant Market Share Analysis methodology. This study used annual time series data from 2001 to 2014 of cut flower exports to the 28 member countries of the EU market. The growth in exports of cut flower products from Kenya to the European Union during the period under study was chiefly due to market share effect. The absence of export growth in cut flower products was attributed to commodity composition effect since the market distribution effect revealed that export products from the country did not attain much with respect to the expanding global markets.

Gender and Changing Forms of Inheritance among the Yoruba of Southwest Nigeria: A Case-Study of Women’s Inclusion in Landed-Property Bequest in Ijesa Land
OWAGBEMI, Olusola Gabriel, OLUSANYA Oyewole Omoniyi – April 2019 Page No.: 09-12
Over the years, gender has been one major factor which determines what goes to an individual in inheritance acquisition in the Yoruba society of the South-west Nigeria. As it is in most patriarchal societies there has been unequal positioning of male and female children to inheritance. The study investigates gender and the changing form of inheritance among the Yoruba of South-west Nigeria. Quantitative data was collected from randomly selected respondents numbering one hundred and twenty-five. The quantitative data collected were analysed with statistical package for the social sciences and the formulated hypotheses were tested using chi-square. Findings revealed that. The inheritance system is still in favour of the male than the female children due to patriarchal culture which still prevail among the Yoruba people. The Yoruba still believe that female children are not permanent member of their ‘first’ family, therefore if given a landed property, when married, it will become the husband’s property. The study also confirms the future possibility of female inclusion into landed properties inheritance acquisition in Ijesa land. The study therefore recommends that the Yoruba should de-emphasise the culture of patriarchy which promotes the superiority of men over women. people should be encouraged to stop seeing women as not being part of their ‘first’ family and also, as someone who cannot adequately handle landed properties even if it’s transferred to them after their parent’s demise, women should be out to seek for redress whenever they are being discriminated upon in inheritance sharing.

Determinants of Small Holder Dairy Farmers Milk Production and Supply to Market in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya
Elly Kiptanui Kurgat, Sharon Jebiwott Keror, Harrison Kimutai Yego, Mathew Kipkoech Bartilol – April 2019 – Page No.: 13-18
This study aimed at analyzing the determinants of small holder dairy farmers’ milk production and supply to market in Uasin Gishu County, Kenya. A Cobb Douglas production function was used to determine the factors influencing the quantity of milk produced while a supply function was used to determine factors influencing the quantity of milk marketed. Results of this study indicated that farmers are doing dairy farming for commercial purpose (79%) which is a clear step towards improving productivity and marketing. Factors which significantly affected milk production included milk price, training on animal husbandry, access to AI services, total farm size and group membership whereas sex of household head and the duration of keeping dairy cattle did not significantly influence milk production. The variables which significantly influenced the quantity of milk sold to the market were amount of milk produced and amount of milk consumed at home whereas household size and average price of milk did not significantly affect amount of milk supplied to the market. Given the results of this study the government should invest more in dairypolicies geared towards price stabilization, provision of AI services and training on dairy farming. Farmers should also be encouraged to join farmer dairy groups.

Education Inequality between Urban Slum and Rural Arid and Semi-Arid Areas of Kenya
Jafred Muyaka – April 2019 Page No.: 19-26
The purpose of the current paper was to determine the relationships between marginalised school location (Urban Slums versus Arid and Semi-Arid Lands) and girls’ performance in literacy and numeracy in Kenya. The study sampled 5,185 girls in Grades 5,6, 7 and 8 in the Urban slums of Nairobi and Mombasa Counties and ASAL areas of Turkana, Tana River, Kwale, Samburu, Marsabit and Kilifi Counties. The findings show significant differences in the performance of girls in Urban slums and ASALs in favour of the former. In addition, girls’ performance in middle grades (5&6) was better in numeracy than literacy while upper grades (7&8) the performance was better in literacy than numeracy. The study recommends the need to have quality education as one of the educational metrics to direct the education policy for the marginalised groups in Kenya.

Using Community Learning Resources to Enhance the Acquisition of Science Process Skills
Dr. Stella Kabesa, Dr. Lazarus M. Okioma – April 2019 Page No.: 27-35
Current curriculum reforms in science education calls for a new look at using community resources. The science syllabi require access to the world beyond the classroom so that students get educational experiences that can diversify the array of learning opportunities and connect school lessons with daily life and real problems. A schools’ immediate community is a wonderful curriculum laboratory, which can provide extremely dynamic, interesting and real life opportunities for the acquisition of science process skills which include: observation, classification, measurement, inference, prediction and communication. In view of that, this study was conducted to investigate the use of community resources in helping students acquire science process skills. The study resides in a general survey model (Karasar, 1999).The study targeted form four students in 33 secondary schools of Uasin Gishu County. Data was collected from a sample of 186 form four students using self administered questionnaire. Data was analyzed by use of descriptive statistics and inferential statistics. Correlation was employed to establish the association while multiple regressions were used to test the study hypotheses. The results revealed that use of school grounds, objects and specimens; use of zoos, parks and botanical gardens; resource persons; museums; models and dioramas exert statistically significant effect on the student’s acquisition of science process skills. It is recommended that school management should support the use of community resources by allowing and facilitating students to go for out-of-classroom activities and closely monitoring their full participation. Further, resource persons should be occasionally engaged in teaching and learning since they are full of memory, experience and expertise. This study provides theoretical insight that community resources can help students make connections between learning science skills and applying them in daily life.

Structure-Agent Relationship in Social Construction Process An Implementation of Election Information System in Indonesia
Harjono Padmono Putro, Udi Rusadi & Kholil – April 2019 Page No.: 36-42
The 2019 Concurrent Election, which was the first time in the history of elections in Indonesia which use a Political Party Information System (Sipol) as a working aid for the General Election Commissions of Indonesia (KPU RI) and Political Parties at the registration stage of 2019 Election Contesting Political Parties, caused legal, social, Sipol users and technical and non-technical aspects. The Critical Paradigm that underlies this research uses qualitative research methods using the Theory of Social Construction of Technology (SCoT), Giddens Structural theory and Information Systems theory. Evaluation analysis were conducted using the Holostic Critical Evaluation framework and data analysis using Miles and Hubermas models.
The evaluative analysis results showed some differences in interpretation of meanings between structures and agents, this shows that the social construction process in the development and implementation of this Sipol (1). not yet have consistency starting from the vision to the results and (2). there is no balance between technical aspects and non-technical aspects. There is a practice of structural domination by the KPU RI due to unequal power relations between the RI KPU and Political Parties, so that there are differences in the position of the electoral system structure in Indonesia, and this has an effect on the development and application of Sipol. This research succeeded in offering 3 recommendations, namely: (1). model, (2). the use of theory between scientific fields and (3). architecture for development and implementation of Sipol. The renewal of this research is the modification of the SCoT theory with the Giddens Structural theory called the Giddens-SCoT Structural Theory Integration.

Efficiency and Productivity Pattern of Public and Private Hospitals in Oyo State Nigeria
Joseph Afolabi Ibikunle- April 2019 Page No.: 54-61
The importance of good health to social and economic development has been the reason for countries’ health systems to pursue effective, efficient, quality and equity objectives. However, the success depends on how much any or all of these objectives could be attained. This study estimates the efficiency and productivity pattern of public and private hospitals in Oyo State, Nigeria for the period of 2007 to 2016. Convenience sampling method was employed to select 10 public and 10 private hospitals. The input data are the number of Doctors, Nurses, hospital beds, unit cost of operation, equipment and cost of drugs while the output variables were inpatient, outpatient, deliveries and revenue. Data Envelopment Analysis and the Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI) was used to calculate the efficiency and productivity growth of the hospitals. Findings revealed that the public hospitals were more efficient in terms of technical, allocative and cost with the mean score of (0.858, 0.822 and 0.701) than the private hospital (0.616, 690 and 0.425), but both are deteriorating in productivity growth (0.971 and 0.763). The study recommended that the Ministries of Health should equip the hospitals towards the changing health demands and competitiveness in the cost of operation for both hospitals.

Beginning Change: Incorporating Information Communication Technologies into Secondary-level Biology Education in Bangladesh
Khayrunnahar Shirin, Patricia A Kerslake – April 2019 Page No.: 62-67
Using a self-study methodology as a basis of investigation, this paper explores theincorporation ofinformation communication technology (ICT) into secondary-level Biologyeducation in Bangladesh.Given that the traditional secondary-level learning environment in Bangladesh isoften unequipped for preparing students to function beyond its own society, the encroachment of globalism renders pedagogical progress (in the form of incorporated ICT) both vital and inevitable. Using ICT in a learning environment is commonplace in developed nations, yet developing countries, such as Bangladesh, are still considering whetherICT is even an appropriate application, yet there is scant understandingor substantive research upon which to base future policy change. This paper examines the role that ICTmay play in supporting face-to-face teaching and learning in thesecondary-level Biology classroom, at the same time as improving knowledge-retention, and dealing with special-needs students. This paper also discusses possible ICT education needs in Bangladesh and suggests futurepolicy direction.The result of this research is an important tool for educators, students, politicians, development practitioners, researchers, and many other freelance knowledge educators.

Ado Makama Adamu PhD, Rakiya Audu, Rhoda Sarki Awak PhD, Yakubu Abubakar – April 2019 Page No.: 68-72
The purpose of this study is to appraise what academic staff of Federal College of Education Technical Gombe understands by the concept of ‘best practice’. The concept of best practices resonate with almost everybody, it has been a buzz word in many fields of human endeavors. It is the same in the academic world, yet it isa nebulous construct precisely demarcating what constitute best practice seems to be a daunting task. In this study the concept of best practice was tested with 163 academic staffs of Federal College of Education (Tech.) Gombe. Results indicates that concept of best practice is not well understood by the respondents. Suggestion for further studies is made; among others there is a need for scholars to come up with a group of procedures that will be use as best practice.

Demographic and Socioeconomic Factors Associated with Under-Five Mortality in Adamawa State of Nigeria
Mundi R, Nwankwo BB , Dakyes SP, Ishaya S, Yohanna S – April 2019 Page No.: 73-80
Background
The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) identifies that children are at a greater risk of dying before age five if they are born in rural areas, among the poor, or to mothers who have no basic education. This study aimed to examine the influence of the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics of women of child bearing age on the survival of their under- five years children.
Methods
This cross-sectional descriptive study employed the use of quantitative data derived from primary sources. The study participants were selected from communities in three Local Government Areas of Adamawa State using a multi-stage sampling technique. Data was collected using a structured questionnaire. The demographic and socioeconomic variables analyzed include age, Level of education, marital status, occupation, average monthly income, ethnicity, religion, living with spouse/partner. Chi square test of significance was used to analyze the categorical data, while logistic regression was used to determine the variables that were the most predictive of under-five mortality.
Results
Four hundred and thirty- eight mothers aged between 15 and 49 years (mean 30.8 +/- 9) consented and completed the interviews in the different communities studied. One hundred and seventy-two (39.3%) of the mothers had experienced the death of at least one child before the attainment of five years. The bivariate analysis of the demographic and socio-economic characteristics of the mothers depicts a statistically significant relationship between mothers’ education, mother monthly income, ethnicity, religion, marital statusas well as occupation of partner and under-five child mortality. Age of mothers and Occupation had no statistical significant relationship with under-five child mortality. The, low educational status, widowed and divorcees, who had no other source of income than housewifery were significantly more likely to have an under-five mortality compared to their counterparts (p-value <0.05). On multinomial logistic regression beta coefficient, of all the variables, religion was the onlysignificant causing under 5 mortality.
Conclusion
Despite concerted efforts by several international organizations to reduce under-five mortality worldwide, there remains unacceptably high numbers of children dying before reaching the age of five years in Adamawa State, Nigeria.Low educational status, low income, maternal unemployment, divorce and widowed status were noted to be important predictors of a woman experiencing the death of her under-five children. The continued practice of girl child marriage, high divorce rate and the paralysis of economic activities by the insurgency in the Northeast, Nigeria may be indirectly sustaining the high under-five mortality in Adamawa State.

Influence of Voice and Accountability on Tax Revenue in Nigeria
N. S. Awotomilusi, Prof. I. R. Akintoye, Dr. F. F. Adegbie – April 2019 Page No.: 81-89
:-Tax revenue is an essential aspect of government revenue considered as the wheel of economic development of a nation and it facilitates the implementation of the fiscal policy of the government. Quite a few reforms have been carried out in Nigeria tax system to improve the tax revenue but yielded little effect as the country still experiences over-dependence on oil revenue. This study explored another alternative that may influence and improve tax revenue without necessarily reviewing tax rate that may adversely affect taxpayers’ purchasing power in the long run. Several studies were carried out on the impact of institutional factors on tax revenue in developing nations using panel data analysis without specific effect, but it seems not many have been conducted in Nigeria. The study evaluated the influence of voice and accountability as institutional factor jointly with economic factors which are industry share in GDP, the share of Agriculture in GDP, trade openness and inflation held as control variables on tax revenue in Nigeria.
The ex-postfacto research design was adopted for this study. The geographical coverage of the study is Nigeria. Secondary data were obtained from the reports of Federal Inland Revenue Service, Political Risk Services of International Country Risk Guide and the World Bank Development Index for a period covering 1984-2017 using purposive sampling technique the study adopted descriptive and inferential (regression) statistics for data analysis.
The study found that significant relationship existed betweenvoice and accountability and tax revenue (β = 0.0413; p< 0.05; t(34) = 2,54; R2= 0.99 ) in line with a priori expectation. There was also a significant positive relationship between control variables. The researcher recommended that government should improve on voice and accountability to improve tax revenue through voluntary compliance to tax laws

Tafsir Literature: Growth and Development
Abu Nasar Mohammad Abdul Mabood – April 2019 Page No.: 96-107
The Qur’ān introduces itself as a guidance which encourages man to realize the nature of his existence. The man who would reflect upon Allāh’s guidance should therefore have a thorough understanding of the Qur’ān. The Qur’ān needed interpretation, even while it was being revealed. The effort of interpreting the meaning of this guidance according to man’s ability is called tafsir. As recorded in many accounts, the style of Qur’ān commentary is traceable as far back as the first generation of Muslims( 310-23, 1995, V. 72, n. 2, Der Islām). After the Prophet Muhammad (r) himself, Ibn ‘Abbās (رضى الله عنهما) was the most prominent Qur’ān interpreter among the Prophet’s Companions,[1] his exegesis was marked by a close attention to certain expressions of the Qur’ān and the occasions on which the Qur’ān was revealed. It contains an unlimited possibility of meanings. The impression that it has upon our thoughts stands at the level of absolute existence. Therefore, its verses are always open to new interpretation; it can never be restricted to a single interpretation. The variety of possible interpretations of the Qur’ānic verses shows the need for a similar variety of approaches. Qur’ānic exegetes formed schools and formulated principles of exegesis and methods of interpretation which often reflected the socio-political environment and comparison the religious thoughts of their eras.[2] At first, the study of the Qur’ān involved the study of the text itself, focusing on its readings and the traditions that explained it. Later, this was extended to commentary on the Qur’ān originally meant to give Muslims Qur’ānic answers to their daily problems. When Muslims encountered other civilizations, the status of the Qur’ān was included. Toward the end of the last second century hijri, the study of the authenticity of the Qur’a>n and of its miraculous nature (i‘jāz al-Qur’ān) developed mainly to establish the validity of Muhammad’s(r) Prophethood. After the Prophet (r) it has been developed day by day by the methods which are accredited to all. The paper has been focused on the development of Tafsir literature.

Joyce. Achieng Ogogo, Molly M. Akinyi Ogalloh, Paul. K. Mbugua, Stephen M. Nzoka- April 2019 Page No.: 108-115
The purpose of this paper was to establish influence of inclusive education for persons with disabilities in context of social change and development in Kenya – a case of Kenyatta University. The study aimed at determining whether Kenya was ready for Inclusive Education, whether Inclusive Education is an effective means for social change and development for PWDs and persons without disabilities, whether Inclusive Education leads to all round development of a person, and whether Inclusive Education facilitates social change and development more than any other mode of education. Methodology-descriptive survey design. Population consisted of all persons with disabilities and those without disabilities within Kenyatta University and a sample size of 150 persons was purposively sampled. The findings of this study showed that: Kenya was not ready for inclusive education; Inclusive Education has not been quite an effective means of social change and development as in the context of KU; Inclusive Education would only benefits persons with disabilities; KU environment is generally not Inclusive because of inadequate facilities for PWDs; Inclusive Education is not cost effective. Some of the recommendations were: stakeholders need to work together as a team to put in places all the requirements; provision of resources to remove all the barriers to change and make modifications to the curriculum and infrastructure to cater for all students’ needs.

The Relationship between Market Orientation on Business Performance of Women: Mediating Role of Innovation
Rahmat Magajiya Aliyu, Tunku Salha Binti Tunku Ahmad and Norshahrizan Binti Nordin – April 2019 Page No.: 116-123
This research examines the relationship between Market orientation (MO) on Business Performance of women (BP) in Nigeria using Innovation (I) as a mediator in improving the women performance which at the long-run will contribute positively towards the increase of Nigeria GDP. Data required for the study was collected from the Women (MSME’s) operating in the North-Western Nigeria using a survey design, a systematic random and stratified disproportionate sampling. A designed questionnaire has been distributed across the target population of 576 through self-administration. In order to evaluate the proposed data, the study has adopted the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The findings revealed that MO and Innovation are important strategic for the women performance MSMEs in Nigeria. The findings also revealed that women MSME performance depends on the degree of MO of the business performance. However, innovation was found to mediate between MO and business performance of women. The findings of this study provide important insights to women owner/managers of MSMEs, policy makers and researchers to further understand the impacts of MO and I on women MSME performance. Women MSMEs should also be encouraged to improve their MO and I which may increase their performances.

The aim of the translation and analysis is to make the fatwa available to the non-Arabic readers to avoid accessing the fatwas from the analysis of the extremists and also to contextualize IbnTaymiyya’s harshness in fatwas to the Mongol period.

Justice Principles and Balance of Interests of Online and Conventional Taxi Business Competition in Indonesia
Dwi Eka Putriani, Adi Sulistiyono, Emmy Latifah- April 2019 Page No.: 146-154
Justice is the ideal of law which is the basic right of every human being that must be realized in all aspects of life. One of them is business competition. The justice in business competition actualized in the principle of economic democracy basically makes public welfare the goal to be achieved. However, it has not been felt by conventional taxi industrialists because of the presence of online taxis that determine tariffs lower than those of conventional taxi so that many conventional taxi users begin to switch to online taxis resulting in a decrease in conventional taxi companies’ turnovers. According to justice theory proposed by Aristotle, Roscoe Pound, and John Rawls, using document study method with legal analysis, it was found that Minister of Transportation Regulation No. 118 of 2018 issued by the Minister of Transportation of Indonesia is a manifestation of justice and balance of interests between online and conventional taxis in Indonesia. In the Minister of Transportation Regulation, the upper and lower limit tariff determination is the solution to the problem of non-significant tariff differences between online and conventional taxis. In addition, the regulation of operational terms and conditions in Minister of Transportation Regulation No. 118 of 2018 is intended to equal the rights and obligations of business people so that they can create a healthy business environment among them.

The Role of Diplomacy in Attracting Foreign Direct Investment for Development in Nigeria: A Study of Olusegun Obasanjo Shuttle Diplomacy from 1999 to 2007
Sanusi ADULWASIU and Muddassir AHMAD GADO – April 2019 Page No.: 155-161
Diplomacy has been described as an established way of engagement between countries through representatives, it is a method of influencing the decision and behaviour of government through discussion, negotiation, dialogue and other measures of engagement that are free of war or violence. It also a conduct of international relationships within the range of issues between countries across the globe. One of such methods of diplomacy is shuttle diplomacy which entails travelling by an intermediary or representative to engage in a discussion, negotiations and dialogue with other parties for enhanced relations between them. Nigerian government during Olusegun Obasanjo era employed shuttle diplomacy to, among others, rebuild the country’s image and confidence in the eyes of international communities with the sole aim of attracting investment for economic growth and development. Despite daunting challenges faced by the government in this regard, the method yielded some desired results in the area of foreign direct investment, debt clearance for the country among other benefits. It is therefore recommended that the present Nigerian government should maintain the good image of the country in the eyes of the world and make the nation’s investment environment friendly for an overall economic growth and development.

The Impact of Community Score Card Strategy in Improving Quality Health Services. The Case Study of Shamva District
Olivia Gumbo – April 2019 Page No.: 162-168
Zimbabwe health sector focusses more on treating diseases rather than preventing disease out breaks. There have been several diseases out breaks such as cholera, typhoid and other diarrheal related diseases. Zimbabweans face challenges to combat communicable diseases such as tuberculosis, diarrheal diseases, and HIV/AIDS. The country’s health sector decentralisation implementation is moving at a snail’s speed, triggering complaints of unsatisfactory service delivery at rural health centres. The study examined the impact of community score card in improving quality health services in Shamva District. The study sought to understand how community scorecard strategy was implemented in Shamva District, to empower the communities with health rights for them to be able to demand suitable health services. The study was guided by interpretive and critical post-modernist paradigms. Qualitative methodology utilised open-ended questionnaires, focus group discussions, key informant interviews and participant observation data generation tools. The data generated were analysed using grounded theory. The key findings are that community scorecard improved health rights knowledge of communities in Shamva District, this led them to demand quality services from nurses. The study concluded that lack of continuous funding and sustainable plans had led to the reversal of positive results that the community score card programme had made. The major recommendation is that government provides adequate human, financial and physical resources for successful implementation of SAcc in Shamva District Health Sector.

Education for Sustainable Development: Feminist Literary Texts Transforming African Societies
Dr Winnet Chindedza, Dr Admire Mhindu – April 2019 Page No.: 169-176
This study analyses the importance of studying feminist literature at university level.It was carried out with ten university students,six males and four females. The study analysed students’ views on the importance of studying feministliterary texts for sustainable development in Africa in general and Zimbabwe in particular. Historically, the writing canon was a preserve for men. It was very difficult for women writers to publish their works. Their works were considered not suitable to be read by the public. However, some daring women authors had to publish their works using male pseudonyms. As a result, the twenty first century saw feminist writers emerging from different countries and the Sub-Saharan region has also produced its fair share of feminist writers. Since the emerging of these feminist writers in Africa, many academics have taken a keen interest in female writers’ works of art. Many scholars have critically analysed these works and invariably found that these authors deal with issues that can transform African societies in as far as the condition of women and girls in society is concerned.The readings of such books willsensitise young adults who are future policy makers, on the need to formulate policies that put women and men on an equal footing.The students revealed that women and girls should be educated in order to sustain the development of African countries.They also indicated that women have the same capability asmen; and as a result, they should be accorded equal opportunities. Therefore, the objective of this study was to find out what university young adults say about the themes that are explored by these feminist authors. The authors explore themes on women oppression, marriages as institutions to oppress women among many others.This paper is viewed through the liberal feminist theory, and therefore recommends that feminist books be studied in high schools and tertiary institutions in order for these young adults to transform traditional societies to modern societies that advocate for equality between men and women.

Indian Private Companies and Zambia’s Economic Development, 1964-2015
Euston Kasongo Chiputa – April 2019 Page No.: 177-183
Most scholarly writings on the presence of business people of Indian origin in Zambia have tended to emphasise their role in commerce; retail and wholesale trading. However, since Zambia’s liberalisation of the economy and introduction of plural politics in 1991, there emerged a paradigm shift towards other economic sectors. Business people of Indian origingravitated towards manufacturing, farming, agro-processing, water exploration and drilling and, by 2015, construction and real estate development. Their contribution emerged as one of the major pillars of the post-1991 liberalised Zambian economy. Since then these firms were making steady but significant inroads into Zambia’s agricultural and emerging industrial sectors. There were private Indian business people and Zambians of Indian origin who invested in crop and livestock farming. There were also some companies that engaged in agricultural plant machinery and equipment merchandising and production of agro-chemicals. Zambia’s largest steel plant commissioned in 2010; with both direct and indirect linkages to agriculture is owned by one of Zambia’s largest manufacturing companies, Trade Kings. Zambians of Indian ancestry have a significant shareholding in Trade Kings. The only Coal powered electricity generation plant (300 megawatts) situated in southern Zambia, commissioned in 2016 was developed by an Indian-owned company. In the last decade, most private companies involved in underground water exploration and drilling for irrigation and for domestic consumption are of Indian origin. Up to 2015 the Zambian economy witnessed increased investments in the construction industry and real estate development by investors of Indian origin or Zambians of Indian descent. This study attempts to investigate the emergence, growth and contribution ofIndian private companies to Zambia’s economic development from 1964 to 2015.

Socio-Economic Factors of Female’s Rural to Urban Migration: Two Time Period Analysis in Pakistan
Farah Naz Ata, Qurra-tul-ain Ali Sheikh, Prof. Dr. Mahpara Begum Sadaqat – April 2019 Page No.: 184-191
Migration for better standards of life and opportunities has been centuries old phenomenon. Migration around the world has been taking place internationally as well as domestically. Worldwide, majority of people are reported to be internal migrants and the trend of urbanization has become an increasing these days, especially in developing countries. Presently, about 37 percent population of Pakistan is living in the urban centers while by 2025, it is expected that more than half of the population will settle in the urban areas. Aside from this, another important aspect of rural to urban migration exists which has been increasingly known as the “feminization” of migration. This study aims at estimating the gender aspect of internal migration through various socio-economic factors of migration such as age, age square, marital status, level of education, vocational training and status in the family. A probit regression model is used, by extracting the data from the Labor Force Survey (2010-11 and 2017-18). The findings showed that mostly females prefer to migrate due to non-economic factors (marriages, health care services, being associates of migration etc.) while males migrate for both economic (job arrangements, educational opportunities, business) and non-economic factors. Level of education and vocational training appeared as important factors to empower females and give them the independence to migrate; additionally, when females are charged as head of household, they are most likely to migrate than when males are heads of the household. However, the statistics (2017-18) also proved that males have been seen to be migrating more for marriage which is a better trend towards cultural change in the prevailing orthodoxy society of Pakistan. For further policy implications, it is suggested that more focus be given towards improving standard of education and vocational facilities for females, especially in the rural areas.

Types of Hives Used By Bee Keepers in Marigat Baringo County- Kenya
Chemwok C. K, Tuitoek D. K and Nganai S. K. – April 2019 Page No.: 203-210
Beekeeping is one of the more universal agricultural activities. The study sought to identify the main types of beehives used by bee keepers in Marigat, Baringo County. The main types of hives are Traditional log hive, improved log hive, Kenya Top Bar hive and Langstroth hives. Majority of the farmers use traditional log hives. This may be caused by the fact that traditional log hives provide cool temperatures for the bees that normally prevail in the study area. The modern hives requires additional cost for construction of grass-thatched shelter to avoid high temperatures that make the bees avoid the modern hives being promoted as new technology.

Local Government Administration and Service Delivery in Nigeria: Prospects and Challenges
Ola Abegunde Ph.D – April 2019 Page No.: 211-217
Effective local government administration plays a crucial role in ensuring efficient provision of public goods to vast rural dwellers. In Nigeria huge percent of the population lives in the rural areas, where it is the constitutional responsibility of the local government to provide basic social and public services. The non-performance of the 774 local governments in Nigeria has continued to generate concerns and attract reactions in the recent time. This study examines the challenges confronting local government administration in effective service delivery at the grassroots level. The study relies on secondary sources of data collection and personal observations. Data was collected through a comprehensive review of relevant literature on local government administration; descriptive qualitative technique of data analysis was adopted. The study identified lack of autonomy, mismanagement of available funds, corruption, lack of transparency and accountability and lack of competent man power among others as the challenges to effective service delivery by the local government administration in Nigeria. In view of this, the study provides some measures that could ensure effective service delivery at the local government level. Such measures include, constitution review to ensure the autonomy of local government, improve human capacity and institutional building, viable sources of revenue and leadership recruitment process that is merit driven, that will produce leaders of unquestionable character and integrity that will improve service delivery at the local government level. Local government leadership must be elected by the rural dwellers and not imposed by the higher authority. This study concludes that, if the above measures are not adopted, there will be improvement in local government service delivery among the rural dwellers in Nigeria.

Arousing and Sustaining Interest in the Study of TVET
Ruby Jecty, Dennis Annan – April 2019 Page No.: 218-228
The Ghana Government’s initiative of formulating a free and double track senior high school education policy, which saw its maiden admissions made in 2017, with about 80% of JHS graduates accessing it, covered only the mainstream senior high schools at the unfathomable neglect of the TVET as if to say it has no prospects for its graduates. The prospective results of this policy therefore can be emphatically asserted to produce a bookish education system with little or no prospects of guaranteeing 50%of its graduates ready entry either to the tertiary institutions or the job market. On the other hand, considering sewing, a notable branch of TVET for example, Wallani (2000) says there are numerous importance that sewing offers to the individual, society and nation at large which include
It serves as a source of income: The acquisition of skills and knowledge in sewing can serve as a source of income. These basic skills acquired will give pupils the ability to construct garment and make articles like tablecloth, hat, handkerchief, etc. made by crocheting which they will sell to generate some money. The generated income by the pupils will help them finance their education or support the family when the need arises.
It serves as a leisure and hobby: Pupils acquiring skills and knowledge in sewing will make pupils busy during their leisure time as well as their hobby. As the popular saying goes “an idle man is the workshop of the devil”. Pupils can engage themselves with construction of garments, articles made by crocheting and paper pattern during their leisure time. It also increases the interest in sewing and further pursue the course at higher educational level.
Pupils can be an alterationist: Pupils with the ability to use the sewing machine and the hand needle can be alterationists. They will be able to renovate and remodel garment. Remodelling of a garment takes pupils with creative and mind and skills through skills and knowledge acquired from sewing. Pupils with skills and knowledge in sewing can be renovating and remodelling relatives garments or people in the community, which will generate them income and raise their standard of living. These and many other benefits of TVET may have been so great of a concern to the stakeholders involved in the formulation of the new 4 year B.Ed curriculum for initial teacher education institutions in Ghana that the discipline has attracted a specialism with specific colleges assigned to (PDS Handbook for Tutors Theme 9 pg 6)
There should, hence, be a need to place emphasis on vocational and technical training for learners in all basic schools in Ghana so that learners with creative minds can with the basic skills acquired, start making artefacts or products to be sold especially during the waiting time for either an entry into a tertiary institution or the job market to help in their personal advancement in pursuit of higher educational level. The inclusion of Basic Design and Technology in the Junior High School curriculum, if intended to provide the pupils with basic skills in Design and Technology should be given precedence as a practical examinable subject.
Apart from its potency of being pursued at higher levels of the educational ladder, it can also be recognized that the advancement of the country can only be accelerated if a large number of persons are trained in Design and Technology. It is expected that if the subject is taken seriously in schools, a new breed of pupils with Basic Design and Technology skills will be developed as the human resource for the growth of the individual and at large the country.
Disinterest in garment construction is a major problem facing many pupils in most basic schools in Ghana because many teachers and parents have associated mastery in this technique with learners who are academically weak. In this case little or no attention is given to the study of this subject. However if the pattern cutting methods taught in Ghanaian schools including draping, drafting, copying and direct cutting on fabric called freehand cutting are given some push, the menace of learners staying home after their secondary education for more than three years because of ‘the no money syndrome’ would be curtailed as their ability to measure accurately and cut patterns for garment construction will reduce the dependency on the little income parents generate from their professions and occupation.
In a survey taken in AssinAmponsie JHS in the Assin North Municipality in the Central Region, it was observed that Learners’ showed disinterest in measuring and cutting of patterns. This made the researcher embark on this study to identify the causes of their disinterest in garment construction and to systematically take them through the techniques of garment construction
This article catalogues the outline of contemporary basic fashion design expectations for pupils in our basic schools to select appropriate tools and materials to learn the processes of design techniques such as drawing, freehand sketching and colour work to make a product or artefact that satisfies a need. It examines to what extent measurement and cutting fabrics can be used in training pre-tertiary learners to develop creativity and practicality which are vital to promoting individual effectiveness.

Analysis of Socio-Economic Problems Affecting Women in Agriculture: A Case Study of Ghotki, Sindh, Pakistan
Abdul Jaleel Mirjat, Bahadur Ali Soomro, Shahnawaz Mangi – April 2019 Page No.: 229-232
In the present era, agrarian women are confronting with big socio-economic problems. Particularly, in the field of agriculture, women have severe issues concerning socio-economic conditions. Taking into consideration, the present study is attempted to investigate the socio-economic problems which are faced by the women in the agriculture sector in Ghotki District of Sindh, Pakistan. We employed a survey questionnaire to get the responses from the agrarian women randomly. In total 225 valid cases have proceeded for the final analysis. By applying the contingency table method, the study found the agricultural women are facing the big socio-economic problems such as bad behaviour of the landowner, the problem of getting wages in time, and the problem of harsh conditions of the weather. They revealed that the hardship of work becomes responsible for their illness and health problems. Males are earning more money than females despite the same work. Finally, the women also underlined that they are not independent of consuming the amount which they obtained from agriculture in the shape of wages. The study may be valuable to know the challenges and problems that are frequently faced by the agrarian women of the rural areas of Ghotki or Sindh. The investigation may enrich and further validates the issues that have raised by the present study.

A Systematic Functional Linguistic Approach towards Mood Structure Analysis of Soliloquy
Subhanan Mandal – April 2019 Page No.: 233-236
The Shakespearean dramatic texts exhibit the shades of power and ideology in the Elizabethan era through the representation of characters from various sections of the society. The class sensitive English society were much aware of their addressee’s attachment to a specific social class which motivated not only their choice of lexemes but also the manner of arrangement of the same linearly in their conversations. However, there are situations when the participants in a conversational exchange do not linguistically react the way their mind wants to. This results in a disparity between thought and action. Soliloquies take deep into the minds of the interlocutors and brings out the actual thought process of individuals which may not always be reflective in conversational activities. This study aims to understand the nature of thought process, particularly through categorization of mood structures, understanding the soliloquial discourse and the manner of self expression.

Indigenous Aesthetic Qualities Inherent in the Dagomba Bim’maŋli (Smock) in Northern Region of Ghana
Mumuni Zakaria Fusheini., Dr. Joe Adu-Agyem, Asante Eric Appau – April 2019 Page No.: 237-248
The Dagomba, who remains the biggest ethnic society noted for the use of the Bim’maŋli as their traditional wear, have also exhibited lack of knowledge on the indigenous aesthetics. The aim of this article is to identify the indigenous aesthetic qualities inherent in the Bim’maŋa among the Dagomba in Northern Region of Ghana. It also sought to examine how the indigenous aesthetic qualities characterize the various types of Bim’maŋa among the Dagomba ethnic society. This will go a long way to provide sanity in the Dagomba Bim’maŋli art and culture thereby helping to promote the cultural heritage of Ghana’s indigenous dresses as a whole. A population of Bim’maŋli weavers, sewers and traditional folk historians from five Bim’maŋli production communities among the Dagomba were used. Data was taken from a sample of 60 respondents comprising weavers, sewers and traditional folk historians. Through face to face interview and observations, the study gathered, simplified, scrutinized, edited, discussed and analyzed the data with the aid of narratives, descriptions, tables and figures. The study found out that the indigenous aesthetic qualities of any type of Bim’maŋli makes it useful or functional in the context of the Dagomba culture. Also, Bim’maŋli meant for prominent people such as chiefs and other traditional rulers have unique indigenous aesthetic qualities which differentiate them from the commoners’ Bim’maŋli. Conclusions drawn from the findings indicated that to purchase and wear a Bim’maŋli, it becomes necessary to consider the indigenous aesthetic qualities of the Bim’maŋli. This will help the users to choose Bim’maŋa that match their personalities as well as adding beauty to the wearer’s physical qualities.

An Examination of Available Sources of Finance and Constraints to SMES in the Wenchi Municipal of the Brong Ahafo Region of Ghana
AMPOSAH, Boateng Alfred – April 2019 Page No.: 249-258
This study was conducted to examine the sources and constraints to SMEs financing in the Wenchi Municipal of the Brong-Ahafo region of Ghana. The main objective of the study was to provide an examination of the sources from which SMEs received finance for their operations, the constraints associated with obtaining finances from the available sources and the implication for the growth and development of SMEs in the Wenchi municipality. In order to achieve these objectives data were collected from questionnaire administered to 170 randomly selected SMEs owners and 13 conveniently selected financial Institutions. Analysis of the data revealed that there are available internal and external sources of finances that SMEs in the Wenchi Municipal are able to obtain finances from. The common internal sources include personal savings, sales of assets, retained earnings and equity investment. External sources of finances SMEs are able to access also include loans from financial institutions, governmental agencies, friends and relatives as well as trade credit.Conditions that militate against access to finance noted from the findings includedcollaterals, interest rates, size of credits, maturity time or duration before repayment, general economic conditions, firm-specific situations and bad attitude of lenders towards SMEs. Characteristics such as sex of the SMEs owners, education, sector of SME, length of existence were not found to be significant determinant of access to finance. The study therefore recommend that financial institution should undertake financial management education for SMEs to help them improve their financial management, SME should improve their business management and accounting skills by employing qualified professionals, government should also strengthen its agencies and parastatal that support SMEs financially.

The Role of Libraries in Transparency and Combating Corruption in Nigeria
Ukubeyinje, Sandra Ejiro, Eda Rita – April 2019 Page No.: 259-264
Corruption is an all-pervasive phenomenon, whether as powerful business and political elites, or the petty corruption that acts as a kind of extra tax on the poor. Transparency in various forms offers potential for the combating of corruption through access to knowledge of regulations and laws, as well as revelations of wrong doing. This work will look at the Relevant aspects of transparency which include: open government and public scrutiny of official business; freedom of information laws; protection of public interest, disclosure (whistle blowing; enforcement of good practice in financial accounting and audit; protection of investigative journalism; and civil society campaigning. The implications for archives and records management (the sources of information on transactions that may include corrupt dealing) is obvious; the role of libraries in transparency and combating corruption will also been look at. This paper recommends few ways of how to combat corruption in Nigeria and in our society in general.

The Relevance of Interreligious Collaboration in Peacebuilding
Emmanuel Chiwetalu Ossai – April 2019 Page No.: 265-269
This paper closely considers how interreligious collaboration between religious peacebuilders could help to make religious peacebuilding in cases where religion is (part of) the problem more effective. Considering how interreligious collaboration applies to some peacebuilding mechanisms such as conflict mediation and workshops, I identify and discuss four major advantages, which include the following: (i) bolstering the legitimacy and influence of religious actors,(2) enhancing the capacity of religious resources, (3) providing a platform for the combination of intra-/intercommunal human, intellectual and material resources, and (4) sending unspoken and influential messages of love, tolerance and reconciliation to the public.

All over the world in 2015, countries adopted a set of goals to end Poverty protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for as part of a new sustainable development goals. Seventeen general goals for sustainable development were set up. Each goal has targets to be achieved over 15 years. For the goals to be achieved, governments, the private sector, civil society and people in general need to be committed. For any nation to develop, it needs to have and provide relevant, updated and adequate information on food security, democracy, health, education, gender equality etc. Libraries can provide such access to information that would enable people to live gainful lives. However, people need to be skilled at identifying, acquiring, organizing, offering for use and publicly preserving materials irrespective of the form in which it is packaged in such a way that when it is needed it can be found and put to use. The paper describes the importance of library campaign as a strategy for attainment of the SDG in Nigeria. In addition, the paper also examines the roles of librarians for ensuring the actualization of the sustainable development goals in the country.

Factors Influencing Subsidized Fertilizer Access and Use Intensity on Small Holder Farmers in Trans Nzoia County
Augustine Wafula Barasa, Josephine Barasa, Paul Okelo Odwori, Kenneth Kisuya Malaba, Harrison Yego – April 2019 Page No.: 275-279
Low crop yields as a result of inadequate application of fertilizer remains to be a challenge limiting optimum crop production especially among smallholder farmers in Kenya. The government of Kenya, under The National Accelerated Agricultural Inputs Access Programme (NAAIAP), introduced subsidized fertilizersaimed at increasing crop productivity.Despite these initiative, there has not been much achievements as far as general increase in crop yields and especially maize crop yields in the country is concerned. This study therefore sought to investigate thefactors affecting the access and the use intensity of subsidized fertilizer among smallholder farmers in Western Kenya with the case of Trans Nzoia County.The specific objectives of the study were to establish the factors affecting the access to subsidized fertilizers and to assess the factors affecting the intensity of fertilizer used.This study employed cross-sectional survey using structured questionnaires to collect the data from 384 farmers who had been selected using multi-stage sampling technique. The data was analyzed econometrically using a double hurdle model which combined a probit model and a truncated regression model. The findings showed thatage, access to extension services, land size, distance to market, household size and non-farm income significantly affected the accessibility of subsidized fertilizer to the farmers while the intensity of subsidized fertilizer use was significantly determined by age, land size, access to extension services and non-farm income of household head. The study concluded that the government should target the smallholder farmers and consider their factors when formulating policies for distribution of subsidized fertilizers as they are the intended beneficiaries of the program.

Relationship between a Banker and His Customer under a Letter of Credit: A Legal Reflection
Mantinkang Formbasso Lawrence – April 2019 Page No.: 280-287
The banker/customer relationship is a relation based largely on contract with well-defined terms. The contract conferred reciprocal rights and duties upon the parties. This is to say that the bank under normal banking operation is supposed to respect only the written terms of the contract between it and the customer. However, banks often intermittently of course perform some other duties which are not spelled out in the contract. The bank at times act as an agent of the customer towards other persons with whom the customer has a transaction. A documentary credit transaction stands out as a clear example of a situation where a bank act as an agent for the customer. The base contract giving birth to the opening of a documentary credit for the customer by the bank is a sale contract between the customer (buyer) and a seller in which they agree payment be made by a documentary credit. The conclusion of payment of goods supply to be made by documentary credit often give rise to three other independent but inter-related legal transactions among which is the transaction between the customer (buyer) and the issuing bank. This article focuses on this relationship between the customer and the bank which lead to the opening of a documentary credit. The credit is opened on the request of the customer for the benefit of the seller. The objective of this article is therefore to examine the content of the relationship between a customer and the issuing bank under a documentary credit transaction.

Ateerah, A. R., Lukman, Z. M. – April 2019 Page No.: 288-292
Happiness is related with subjective well being. However, there is scarce of research pertaining to Islamic view of happiness. Previous research from Western perspectives have proven that positive element and attitude contribute positively to happiness. Hence, this research tries to identify several aspects that have relationship with happiness among Muslim specifically. Happiness Instrument was developed based on al-Ghazali’s concept of happiness. It was about 500 Muslims involved in this study quantitatively in which using developed scale inventory as the main instrument. The data collected from the sampled population has been descriptively analysed based on mean and SD attained from the responses. Moreover, the PLS-SEM has been utilized in this chapter to test the theoretical model. Coherently, multiple approaches have been incorporated to examine the measurement and structural models such as the convergent validity, discriminant validity, R-square, and F-square among others. As a result, there is significant result of the construct such as religious knowledge, practices and individual with happiness.

Determinant of Self-Rated Satisfactory Quality of Life for older women (70+) in South-Eastern Nigeria: Preparing an Early Intervention
Atumah Oscar. N. – April 2019 Page No.: 293-299
Quality of life for older adults is crucial to successful aging, and has formed a part of global goals, including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A survey was administered to collect data from 30 women who are 70 years and above. Through multiple regression analysis, using self-rated satisfactory quality of life as the criterion variable, and access to housing, food, and healthcare as the predictor variables, this paper attempted to predict self-rated satisfactory quality of life for women 70 years and above. The intention is to have data backed information that will enable policy makers to plan an intervention for older adults, particularly the women. Findings revealed that access to food was the strongest predictor as it received the greatest weight in the standardized regression equation, and was also highest in terms of squared structured coefficient, accounting for about 86% of the total effect. Access to housing also received a sizeable beta weight, but did not out-perform access to healthcare substantially with respect to the observed effect. Implications include community partnership with universities to boost food production, to enact policies that will oblige government to subsidize the cost of food for adults above 70 years, and to emphasize the multidisciplinary nature of gerontology to aging professionals.

The research was concerned with the effects of Geogebra Instructional Package on secondary school students retention in Geometry in Makurdi Metropolis of Benue State, Nigeria. Two research questions were asked and answered while two hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The design of the study was quasi-experimental design of pretest-post test non equivalent control group. The sample of the study was 205 students. The experimental group was taught using Geogebra Instructional package while the control group was taught using the expository method. The instrument for data collection was Geometry Retention Test(GRT) and Geometry achievement Test(GAT).The data collected at the end of the research was analysed using descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation to answer research questions while the hypotheses were tested using analysis of covariance. The result of the study revealed that students taught geometry using Geogebra Instructional Package retained higher mean scores than those taught using Expository method. The result also revealed no significant difference in the mean retention scores of male and female students taught geometry using Geogebra Instructional Package.

Aligning University-Industry Partnership in Africa to Employability of Graduates
Goddana Mensima Darko, Akua Ahyia Adu-Oppong – April 2019 Page No.: 304-312
This paper examines University-Industry collaboration in Africa as a tool for engendering graduate employability. It reviews perspectives on university education in Africa in the context of fulfilling the needs of industry through appropriate human capital development strategies. It outlines the challenges of African industries in respect of their collaboration with academia to foster employability of graduates. Available literature showed that the two institutions operate almost in isolation at a level of cooperation that is insignificant to guarantee employability of graduates on an appreciable scale. Beyond the pure teaching and research functions of academia and the profit goals of industry, the paper sheds light on workable employability strategies that can be adopted by the two institutions with support of government to create a win-win situation for universities and industry as well as guarantee employability of graduates.

Effect of Improvised Instructional Materials on Students’ Achievement and Interest in Longitude and Latitude
Benjamin Akoji OGUCHE and Prof. K. O. USMAN – April 2019 Page No.: 313-320
The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of improvised instructional materials on students’ achievement and interest in Longitude and Latitude. The influence of gender on the achievement and interest of the students taught with improvised instructional material (Frame of a Sphere) was also considered. Four research questions and six null hypotheses guided the study. A non-equivalent control group of quasi-experimental design was used for the study. The simple random sampling technique was used to select two schools from Olamaboro Local Government Area of Kogi State, Nigeria. Each of the schools was assigned to control and experimental groups. Two intact classes from each of the schools were used for the study. Two instruments – Longitude and Latitude Achievement Test (LLAT) and Longitude and Latitude Interest Scale (LLIS) were used. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer research questions and ANCOVA was used to test the hypotheses. The study revealed that the use of improvised instructional materials increases the students’ achievement and interest. Based on the findings, it was recommended that Mathematics teachers should endeavour to use improvised instructional materials since it enhances the achievement and interest of students.

Fodio Garba, Ph.D, Nura Abubakar Allumi, Ph.D – April 2019 Page No.: 327-331
Job satisfaction and motivation are very essential to the continuing growth of educational systems around the world and they rank alongside professional knowledge and skills, teacher competency, educational resources as well as strategies, in genuinely determining educational success and performance. In the teaching services, the place of trained human resource cannot be compromised noting the sensitivity attached to effective service delivery and result-oriented outputs. The responsible authorities must not only identify relevant techniques of motivating there teachers but also ensure that the said techniques are formidable enough to stimulate job satisfaction and increased productivity. The national education policy expressed in the personnel development component of some or any relevant declaration and convention, only succeeds in complying with global standards and best practices. Through the use of documentary method, relevant literatures have proven instrumental in informing the findings of the paper. Put differently, the paper concludes that for teachers to integrate their personal goals to those of the organization, a measure of job satisfaction instrumented by relevant motivational (incentive) packages must abound. Finally, the paper recommends that a separate salary structure, for teachers should be established and merit based employment, should be ensured by the authorities concerned.

The Effects of Instagram Based Activities in Improving Secondary School Students’ Writing Skill
Aadila Fatin Mohd Desa, Mohamed Amin Embi, Harwati Hashim – April 2019 Page No.: 339-363
The 21st century of learning and teaching not only emphasises on core competencies such as collaboration, critical thinking, problem-solving but as well as on the digital literacy aspect. The integration of social networking sites (SNS) like Instagram application in the classroom is believed to be able to contribute to many beneficial impacts on students. However based on current findings, it is claimed that in the Malaysian school context, students’ face real struggle in producing grammatically correct pieces of writing. Therefore, it is crucial to efficiently respond to this writing accuracy issue among students by identifying the most comprehensible features on Instagram which could work as the trailblazer. This study is conducted to unearth how the theoretical underpinnings that Instagram features own affect students’ subject-verb-agreement instruction. In this intervention, 50 Form 4 students from a secondary school in Perak were selected as the participants. A few Instagram-based writing activities were carried out to explore the effectiveness of Instagram features on students’ use of subject-verb-agreement. Pre and post observation as well as questionnaire were also used as methods of data collection. The findings indicated that the students responded effectively to Instagram based activities thus it boosts their motivation in writing learning. Based on this finding, more studies are expected to be conducted in the future too as students should be well armed with sufficient writing skills to thrive in today’s world.

Challenges Encountered by Students in the Acquisition of Entrepreneurial Skills in Home Economics Education in Edo and Delta State
Dr. (Mrs) B.E. Uwameiye – April 2019 Page No.: 371-376
This paper examined challenges encountered by students in the acquisition of entrepreneurial skills in Home Economics Education in Edo and Delta State of Nigeria. The survey research design was adopted in this study. 82 final year students in the tertiary institutions participated in the study. Three research questions guided the study. A self-structured 21-item questionnaire was administered to elicit responses for the data. The Mean and Rank Order was utilized to rank the challenges encountered by students in Home Economics Education in the acquisition of entrepreneurial skills, in order of gravity. Findings revealed that: school challenges preventing students in the acquisition of entrepreneurial skills in Home Economics Education are; The time allotted for practical courses as inadequate, facilities available are inadequate and that learning resources are obsolete. Students’ personal challenges indicated by respondents include: Students have low interest in Home Economics Education, financial demand to study Home Economics Education is too high, no good motivation to acquire entrepreneurial opportunities in Home Economics Education.

In Search of Our Common Humanity – Towards a Philosophy of Pluralism
Sylvanus Ifeanyichukwu Nnoruka – April 2019 Page No.: 377-382
More than sixty years after the ratification of the declaration of human rights, nothing can be taken for granted and everything is possible. We are more and more indifferent to the inhuman treatment we see around us. More and more nations wage wars against the others; the number of political refugees is drastically and alarmingly increasing every day. The African continent does not seem to have recovered from the devastating effects of slave trade and colonialism. What is worse, the world is increasingly becoming insecure. Nevertheless, there is still hope. It comes from the realisation that all humans undeniably have one thing in common – that they are humans, precisely human beings. We have a common humanity irrespective of when and where our contact with the world started. It is our conviction that it is through the realisation and promotion of our common humanity that authentic peace could be achieved today. We are working on the principle that no culture is self-sufficient. The attitude ought to be: I need the Other in order to develop myself meaningfully and authentically

Effects of Generative Instructional Strategy on Senior Secondary School Students’ Achievement and Attitude to Summary Writing
Olagbaju Oladotun Opeoluwa PhD – April 2019 Page No.: 383-393
Success in English language is one of the prerequisites for academic advancement and admission into tertiary institutions in Nigeria. Students’ performance in English language examinations has been very poor and ineffective strategy in teaching summary writing is one of the causative factors. Most of the instructional approaches have been teacher-centred rather than learner-centred. This study determined the effects of Generative Instructional Strategy on students’ achievement in and attitude to summary writing in Ibadan. Moderating effect of gender was also examined. Four intact randomly selected classes were assigned to experimental and control groups. Data were analysed using analysis of covariance, and Scheffe post-hoc test. Generative instructional strategy was effective in enhancing students’ achievement and attitude to summary writing.

The Relationship between Transformational Leadership among Principal with Organizational Citizenship Behavior in Secondary School in the East Coast Malaysia
Kaharuddin Sharkawi, Abdullah Bin Ibrahim, Wan Khairul Aiman Wan Mokhtar, Ramle Abdullah – April 2019 Page No.: 394-397
The purpose of this research is to identify the level of Transformational Leadership of Principal towards Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). This research is a survey using questionnaire distributions. The questionnaire utilized in this research is divided into three parts. The first part of the questionnaire involves the questioning of the respondent demographics. The second part is the 20 items of the dimension of Organizational Citizenship Behavior based on Podsakoff (1990). While the third part of the study questions contains 20 items describing the style of Transformational Leadership based on instruments built by Bass and Avolio (1995). A total of 102 respondents have collaborated in the success of this research, and two types of statistics were used, which named descriptive statistics and inference statistics. The results of the study showed that the majority of the respondents were tending to the intellectual stimulating dimensions (mean 6.09) compared to the motivational dimensions (min 5.98), individual consideration dimensions (min 5.88) and charismatic dimensions (min 5.40). The intellectuals’ stimulation is the fourth dimension embodied in transformational leadership. The T-test was found to have no significant relationship between the organization’s citizenship behavior and the gender of the respondent. One of the objectives of the study is to investigate the relationship between Transformational Leadership and Organization Citizenship Behavior. Hence, the correlation test has been used and the findings show a significant relationship between transformational leadership and the organization’s citizenship behavior (r = 0.431). As such, the role and responsibility of the Principals also need to change from time to time and they also need to alter them based on time and situation. If a principal has effective leadership qualities, then the mission and vision of making an outstanding school can be achieved. On the other hand, if a principal lacks character in his or her leadership, then it will give an unfavorable effect on the achievement of a school.

Students’ Attitude and Perceptions on Teachers’ Comments: Does it associate with their Interest on Particular Subjects? A Case of Morogoro Municipality
MSEMO, Emanuel Mbazi, EDWARD, Mariafelista Massawe – April 2019 Page No.: 402-404
This study explored the relationship between students’ attitude and perception towards teachers’ comments and their interest on particular subjects. The study was conducted as a case study of Morogoro municipal in Tanzania, and employed a cross sectional design with a sample of size n=127 students from two schools. Schools in Morogoro municipal were clustered into two clusters (old schools and newly ward secondary schools) and one school from each cluster was randomly selected. Respondents were chosen within a cluster using simple random sampling. Information on study variables was obtained using questionnaire and to establish the relationship, a chi square test of association was performed. Results showed a significant relationship between students’ attitude and perception towards teachers’ comments and their interest on particular subjects. Choice of students on whether to engage on a particular subject depends on how they approach and interpret the feedback given by teachers. This suggests that, it is important to create a condunsive means of communicating feedback to students so as to achieve a learning environment that ignite and sustain student interests to subjects for greater achievements and performances.

Challenges and Successes of E-Government Development in Developing Countries: A Theoretical Review of the Literature
Malang B.S. Bojang – April 2019 Page No.: 410-414
Electronic government(e-Gov) is the innovation of the 21st century. This is because many governments around the globe are reforming their service delivery system via the use of Information and Communications Technologies (ICTs) to attain greater efficiency in public sector. The potential benefits of e-Gov were echoed by stakeholder and supranational bodies like United Nations, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, just to name a few. Developed countries have started reaping the fruit of ICTs in government service delivery while developing nations are stagnant with structural and sustainable failures of information systems in general. However, this study argued that some success stories are registered with regards to e-Service delivery in some developing countries and lesson needs to be learn from it—Singapore, Egypt andChile can best this argument. Using explanatory method, data has been collected for this study from secondary sources.

Democratization and Electoral Violence in Nigeria: A case of Sokoto State
Isah Musa Yusuf – April 2019 Page No.: 415-421
I. INTRODUCTION
Since the onset of the wave of democratization in parts of the world, sequel to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the wind of political changes that swept through Eastern Europe, many countries have made attempts, even if feeble in some cases, to come to terms with the necessity of enthroning a project of democratization (Umar, 2009). In this respect, Nigeria has not been left out of the bandwagon of democratization. Evidently though, at independence in 1960, the country experimented with parliamentary democracy fashioned after the British model which was later bedeviled by electoral crises. Beginning from 1964/65 general elections, violence became a major feature of electoral politics in the country. Thus, it was after thirteen (13) years of military rule (1966-1979) that the Federal Military Government of Nigeria (FMGN) handed over to a new civilian government on October I, 1979 and Nigeria’s Second Republic was born amidst great expectations (Kurfi, 2005 cited in Omotosho, 2008:1).

The Debate around Civil Society in Africa: A Replica of “Western Civil Society”
Malang B.S. Bojang – April 2019 Page No.: 422-426
In search of answers to locate what is wrong with African civil societies, this study seeks to evaluate and critically explore contemporary debates surrounding civil society organizations in Africa. The study also aimed to ascertain whether African civil society organizations are replica of the Western civil societies. Much of the received wisdom on civil society discourse is that it enhances liberal democracy by widening citizens participations in political processes, eradicate poverty and fill the void created by state deficiencies. Yet civil society in many African countries is faced with doubts on its usefulness, origin and application in the continent. These uncertainties surrounding civil society often centered on its legitimacy, autonomy, authority and purpose. In Africa, civil society legitimacy and freedom can only be guarantee if they are transparent and accountable, in other words, they need to be democratic institutions; and they need to address accusations of manipulation for political or personal gain. While this study acknowledged the strength and effectiveness of civil society in Africa but still has a long road ahead to becoming a powerful voice on public policy or enhance democracy in the continent.
