Women in Northern Nigeria are secluded in political positions following ethnic differences and religious backgrounds than women in Southern Nigeria, who participate more in public life. The basis for this disparity is the value placed on women in both spheres of interest. The African tradition relegates women to the background and gives the men a voice. The paper looks at the impact of social cleavages and factors responsible for the low participation of women in politics. The research used both a qualitative and quantitative method through face-to-face interviews with five female respondents. The study focused on women participation in politics making Inferences from data collected through interviews. The fear factor, economic and cultural beliefs were among the reasons for the low turnout of women in political participation. The paper concluded that women should support women and create awareness in enlightenment programmes for women in rural areas.

In recent years, the use of statistical analysis in academia and enterprises has been developing. Generally, students, professors, workers, and users are usually exposed to statistical analysis at some point. Sometimes, it is difficult to perform this type of analysis. Few people have theoretical knowledge to understand statistical analysis clearly, sometimes even the results given. Often, academic institutions or companies require users to provide reports but do not have time to explore or understand the results or tasks required for optimal data preparation. The statistical methods involved in conducting a study include planning, designing, collecting data, analyzing, deriving meaningful explanations and reporting the study results. The statistical analysis gives meaning to meaningless numbers, thus making life lifeless. Only by using appropriate statistical tests can the results and inferences be accurate. In this work, we provide a statistical overview of some accounting research conducted in various countries to reveal the importance of statistical analysis in completing accounting and finance research.

Information technology has converted the entire teaching pedagogy to a learner-centred pedagogy; this has led to the acquisition of tools of learning technology as a basic requirement on the part of both the teachers and the learners. Blended learning and pedagogical technology are veritable means of transmitting knowledge in the 21st Century. That is why the teachers and students alike are encouraged to embrace this form of learning to successfully migrate into this millennium. While we understand that this method has its unique limitations and difficulties, it is our hope that when fully explored, the potentials for tech crazy generation of learners are enormous. This research aims at exploring both patterns of learning and investigates their relevance and importance towards improving the learning experience and giving qualitative education.

The 2020 elections in the United States’ 2020 elections were full of controversies despite recording the highest voters turnout since 1900. These electoral disputes are due to claims made by the then President, Donald Trump. Though the supreme court dismissed the claims of electoral fraud, the impact has left the American citizens more polarised at the national, state, and congressional levels. Scholars have argued that electoral fraud has existed since modern democratic development in the mid and late 19th century and is still occasionally an issue in some well-established democracies, while other scholars are not in support of such claims. Compared to the 2019 elections conducted in Nigeria, reports of electoral frauds have been on the front burner right from 1999. Its impact had made citizens have voters apathy and no trust in the democratic system in Nigeria. This paper used the qualitative research method to analyse the United States 2020 election cases of electoral fraud in an advanced democracy and diagnosed Nigeria’s 2019 and the United States 2020 elections. First, the study looked at the issues and challenges that have affected elections in both countries. Second, the paper used Game theory and the Conspiracy theory to assess the impact of a more proximate determinant of Election Day fraud; it examines Nigeria’s strategic efforts to combat electoral fraud using card reader technology. Finally, the paper concluded that there is no basis for comparison regarding elections in Nigeria and United States despite the hitches observed by the world in the United States elections. Electoral fraud will be inevitable regardless of how democratic a country claims to be if certain democratic tenets are not in place.

The imperative for sound and quality education cannot be overemphasized. Education is fundamental to the construction of a knowledge economy and society in all nations. It provides the needed manpower for the overall turn- around of a nation. In Nigeria, the educational system is bedevilled by poor funding characterized by incessant strikes, closures of schools and decay in infrastructure. This study examines the issue of government playing a dominant role in financing public schools vis-a-vis the quality of education in Nigeria. The fundamental questioned that is posed is, in a nation where educational policies, infrastructure, personnel and programs are provided mainly by the government, can education develop beyond what the government can provide? Using a descriptive approach, the study, which relies on secondary data and adopts the systems theory as its frame of the analysis found out that government funding of the educational sector has eroded the quality of education in Nigeria. Based on this, it recommends a funding strategy where Non-Governmental Organizations will complement government efforts to fund education in the country.

The performances of students in final year examinations in recent times have been very low and this may have been as a result of teacher effect. The study is an evaluation of effect of teachers' factor on students' performance in final examinations in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), a case study of Secondary Schools in Abuja Municipal Area Council to determine teachers' influence on students. The Literature review provided a framework for the study and focused on effect of teachers on students' performance in areas of teacher characteristics related to teacher effectiveness and student's evaluation of instructional effectiveness in order to ensure proper understanding of the topic. Survey method was used for the study using a Questionnaire for gathering of primary data. A sample was taken using stratified random sampling for selected Schools, simple random sampling to select respondents out of which 105 responses was received for analysis. Analysis revealed that teachers positively affect students' performance, but teaching methodology is not adequate. In conclusion students are not concerned with the race, gender, ethnicity and other characteristics of their teachers; however, the students have raised concerns on teachers teaching methodology.

Fani-Kayode versus Eyo Charles of Daily Trust saga compels research attention as it exhumed a new perspective to press struggle under political bondage in Nigeria. Nigerian journalists have been thrown into the towel on several occasions in the struggle to uphold press freedom as some were brutalised, molested, suppressed, bribed, or even intimidated with impunity while carrying out their democratic roles. The agitation not only for press freedom, the degree of independence that put the fourth estate of the realm on uninfluenced reportorial vantage but also a clear separation of media agenda power from politics of bankrolling beeps a light of redemption through social media rendition. Contents of mainstream and social media (Facebook, Twitter & YouTube) in the case of Fani-Kayode versus Charles were subjected to empirical analysis to test media efforts towards self-actualisation from political insubordinations. The data show that social media reign a significant influence on the salvage of press freedom taking “Who bankrolls your tour of states” tussle as a significant variable to compare the agenda and framing patterns the case under study enjoyed on social and mainstream media. The study found out that the media agenda might that recouped the press freedom from political intimidation and disparagement in the case under study was more than 90% social media strength. The mainstream media and their journalists got the inspiration for their belated actions from the battle already won through the social media agenda.

This paper examines how and why the Right to Buy (RTB) scheme changed drastically in the UK from 1980 to 2016 through the lens of Hall’s model of social learning and Sabatier’s advocacy coalition framework (ACF). This paper argues that changes were made to the Right to Buy scheme from 1980 to 2016 in order to increase the attractiveness of the policy. The study was conducted using a non-positivist approach to research. The findings of this study revealed that that the UK government’s decision to reduce the residency requirement from 3 years to 2 years in the RTB scheme in 1984 and to increase the percentage of discounts in the scheme constitutes a first-order policy change as described by Hall. On the other hand, the introduction of the new Right to Acquire in the RTB policy by the Labor party in 1997 constitutes a second-order change. While abolishing the RTB policy in Scotland by the Scottish National Party in July 2016 constitutes a third-order change. Furthermore, the results of this paper showed that the shared core beliefs in the virtues of private ownership between the Conservative party and the “New Labour” that came to power in 1997 in the UK can better be understood through the lens of Sabatier’s ACF.

Adopting Lipset and Rokkan’s submissions which suggest, social cleavages as resulting from conflict groups based on perceptions of association in opposition to other such groupings among large segments of a population, the study argued that ethnicity is the single most important embodiment of social cleavages in Nigeria. The study relies on secondary methods of data collection; further stressed that in the absence of formidable class structures, ethnicity plays a crucial role in defining individual identity in relation to groups, derivative of norms, and intermediaries between the society and the state. Building on the pedestals of the ethnic competition model, we further argued that central to the mobilization of ethnicity is the presence of opposing groups and ethnic elites. Beyond the potency for conflictual group relations, the ethnic competition model was adopted to account for the widespread predisposition to compete along ethnic lines in socially diverse societies like Nigeria. The study concludes by stating the very significance of ethnicity as a social capital in Nigeria, derives from its social acceptance and mobilizing properties.
