The nexus between democracy and infrastructural development is debatable. In Nigeria, democracy appears to be discombobulated with infrastructural underdevelopment. On whether democracy constructed more roads than the military, two subsequent administrations were studied in Southeastern Nigerian Enugu State. The article draws on quantitative and qualitative data and stewardship theory. The study reveals that the roads constructed between 1999 and 2007 were better in quality and evenly distributed as against those constructed between 2007 and 2015 which was lopsided, though with more roads. Corruption among others impeded road construction and the study suggested among others addressing the major causes of corruption.

The study identified the existence of a sustainable socioeconomic correlation between artisan implements and the agrarian society of the Gibe region. Handicraft work among the Gibe Oromo peasants brought about a wide range of socioeconomic and political developments that have made the region famous in all aspects. Blacksmiths, tanners, potters, weavers, woodworkers, basketry, and others are among the major crafts that are attributed to people’s daily living conditions. The utensils of artisans positively influence the livelihoods of the region’s agrarian societies. As a result, without artisan implements, all socioeconomic practices, including agriculture, would be unthinkable. Despite their socioeconomic contributions, the artisans’ are all victims of segregation rooted in legends, riddles, proverbs, and others. Similarly, the implements of artisans have recently been threatened due to discouraging socioeconomic perceptions against the artisans and the expansion of industrial tools. The study used both primary and secondary sources to address the existing literature gaps.

Recent education reforms in Africa demand that teachers reconsider their position as the overall authorities and repositories of all knowledge in the classroom to develop the critical thinking skills of learners. While such a position demands a critical pedagogical approach to teaching, it is argued in this paper that the sociocultural values and social expectations of a typical African society like Ghana may have a significant impact on teachers’ development of children’s critical thinking skills. Thus, drawing on some selected Ghanaian proverbs, it is argued that how childhood is culturally constructed in the Ghanaian sociocultural setting could militate against the possibilities of developing children’s critical thinking skills in education. The arguments raised were grounded in critical discourse analysis.

Although communication mediation models have been extensively researched, limited attention has been given to the influence of social and cultural characteristics. This study aims to address this gap by examining the Citizen Communication Mediation Model within the context of Taiwan. Specifically, it investigates the moderating roles of Asian values and network homogeneity. Utilizing data from the 2018–2021 Asian Barometer Survey, we identify a significant indirect effect of political news consumption on political participation through political discussion. Furthermore, our findings reveal that Asian values tend to mitigate the impact of political discussion on political participation. Higher levels of network homogeneity can enhance the mobilizing effect of political discussion, but this effect is most pronounced among individuals with low or medium levels of Asian values. The implications of these findings are discussed.

The growth in the number of multinational corporations has heightened insecurity and vulnerability for workers globally. Relying on Gramsci hegemony theory as it theoretical leaning, the paper examined work reorganisation and the constraints of standard labour practices in Nigerian Food and Beverage Sector. The study found that casualisation did not encourage best labour practices in the food and beverage industry. There was significant relationship between work reorganisation ( r = 0.29, df (224) = p < .01) and decent work treatment of non-permanent staff in the beverage sub-sector Therefore, stakeholders should put effective monitoring mechanisms in place to enhance best labour practices in food and beverage industry.
跨国公司数量的增长加剧了全球工人的不安全感和脆弱性。本文以葛兰西霸权理论为理论依据，研究了尼日利亚食品饮料行业的工作重组和标准劳动实践的制约因素。研究发现，临时工化并不鼓励食品和饮料行业的最佳劳动实践。工作重组（r = 0.29，df (224) = p < .01）与饮料分行业非长期员工的体面工作待遇之间存在重大关系。

In Nigeria and Ghana, scholars and statesmen suggest that the party system has missed the mark, having bred two major political parties that look alike ideologically. The argument is that the major parties in a two-dominant party system must articulate clearly alternative visions and strategies in an ideologically driven manifesto. To show the difference, such parties must have opposing values and ideologies, one revising the neoliberal growth model. Some analysts argue that when the ruling party manifests capitalist tendencies, the opposition should tend to the left-of-the-centre or socialist to express the opposite. What are the parties doing differently? While it seems on paper that National Democratic Congress and New Patriotic Party (NDC/NPP) in Ghana and All Progressives Congress and Peoples Democratic Party (APC/PDP) in Nigeria have manifestoes that seem to differ, there appears to be a minimal difference in their policies when in power to match the ideological leanings. The paper argues that political parties are essential to liberal democracy, but in the current hegemony of the market economy, they do not have to be diametrically ideologically different to fulfil their roles. The major political parties can be differentiated based on their stand on issues, giving rise to issue-based parties rather than ideological ones. The electorates may also rely on the office’s effectiveness to guide candidates’ and parties’ choices. The parties ought to articulate pressing national issues and solve them.

Even though the Nigeria–Niger border is a significant gateway for human trafficking to Europe, it has received limited scholarly attention. The study used ethnographic and documentary methods to argue for adopting community-based border policing (CBBP) on the Nigeria–Niger border to complement border surveillance strategy (BSS). Despite the reliance on surveillance strategies, crimes like human trafficking have persisted on the Nigeria–Niger border. This state of affairs has necessitated the need to explore more comprehensive ways to police the border, for which CBBP is relevant to help in mitigating human trafficking on the Nigeria–Niger border.
