This study is centralized on the significance of post-colonial criticism implanted in Edward Morgan Forster’s A Passage to India and Mulk Raj Anand’s Untouchable employing varying quintessential post-colonial theories coined by important post-colonial theorists. The following research involves scrutinizing the post-colonial space and the major critics in it corresponding with the horrifying ramifications of imperialism that alters the socio-political, cultural, and economical dogmas of a nation including the linguistic approach which plays an important role in the development of the literary canon. This research explores the subject of colonial implications presented by two different writers originating from far away poles which conclusively examines how two distinct categories of colonial exploitation work one being triggered by foreign agents and another being planted inside the premises of a nation making a distinction between the mechanism of oppression. The two primary texts’ projects justify the outlook on the aftermath colonialism and also portray important theories of Hybridity, Oppression, and Othering.
本研究集中探讨了爱德华-摩根-福斯特（Edward Morgan Forster）的《印度游记》和穆尔克-拉吉-阿南德（Mulk Raj Anand）的《贱民》中所体现的后殖民批评的意义，并运用了重要的后殖民理论家所提出的各种典型的后殖民理论。帝国主义改变了一个国家的社会政治、文化和经济教条，包括在文学发展中发挥重要作用的语言方法。本研究探讨了来自遥远两极的两位不同作家所呈现的殖民影响主题，并对两种截然不同的殖民剥削是如何运作的进行了确凿的研究，一种是由外国代理人引发的，另一种是在一个国家的内部植入的，并对压迫机制进行了区分。两个主要文本的项目证明了对殖民主义后果的展望，也描绘了混合、压迫和他者化的重要理论。

Body image which is considered a critical public health issue is observed to affect physical, mental, social, digital and spiritual wellness among young people. This is because favorable level of body appreciation among young men and women on the university campus could go a length in determining positive health behaviors and overall health. There could be link between body appreciation and personality among university students. A dearth of empirical researches in this line of inquiry limits knowledge and possible interventions in Nigeria. This study therefore, investigated the relationship between personality traits and body appreciation among 298 undergraduates of Lead City University, Ibadan, Nigeria. The Body Appreciation Scale (α = .819) and Big Five Personality Inventory (α = .783) were used to collect primary data for the study. Descriptive and inferential statistical tools were employed in data analysis. Result revealed that the correlations between personality traits and body appreciation showed: extraversion (r=-.156); agreeableness (r=.175); conscientiousness (r=.190); neuroticism (r=-232.); and openness to experience (r=.858). The researcher recommends more actions in terms of psychotherapy, counselling/guidance, advocacy and media literacy in order to sustain high level of body appreciation among university students for positive health behaviors and overall wellness.

The thrust of this work is on the necessity of peaceful coexistence between Christians and Muslims to enhance and strengthen sustainable development in Nigeria. Christianity and Islam are the two major and decisive religions in Nigeria. Deplorably, the two religions that should teach and promote love, tolerance, and unity as enshrined in both the Bible and al-Qur’an, have been subtlety used as an indicator of political and social identity in a way that rouse conflicts over resources, land, political and economic power. This has led to the upsurge in religious intolerance and bigotry, unbridled and aggressive action of the fundamentalists, wrong religious orientations, mindless selfishness among some religious leaders, and low level of religious literacy among some adherents, which is currently posing a crucial threat to sustainable development in Nigeria. Therefore, this study critically examines the interplay of peaceful coexistence between Christians and Muslims through dialogue for the transformation and sustainable development of Nigeria. The study employed a descriptive research method, purely based on written sources comprised of books, journals, and websites. The study, among other things, revealed that peaceful coexistence between Christians and Muslims is crucial for the economic, political, and social development of Nigeria. It was discovered that through dialogue, the intolerance and conflict situation in Nigeria can be transformed into a culture of peace characterized by respect, trust, liberty, tolerance, equality, and brotherliness that will foster sustainable development. The study, therefore, concluded with the recommendation that since religious isolation and bigotry are not conducive to sustainable progress and development, individual and religious institutions should embrace and proclaim dialogue reflecting brotherhood, peace, solidarity, unity, and love, which will play a vital role in shaping and establishing a better prosperous future for the nation.

Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) has many useful purposes in social sciences research. The most common EFA uses between researchers involves reducing reasonably enormous variables to manageable ones, developing and sanitizing a novel instrument’s scales and examining the relationships between variables to make a theory. The purpose of this study was to identify and analyzed a managerial entrepreneurial competency (MEC) for technical college programs in northwest geo-political zone of Nigeria. A quantitative research approach was used to develop insight from the experts’ perspectives via a survey questionnaire. The samples of the study involved 331experts including 249 teachers from nine technical colleges and 82 SMEs in the three states of the zone. Data collected were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 24, with a value of 0.864 as the Cronbach’s alpha. Moreover, the value for KMO measure of sampling adequacy equaled 0.830 and the value for Bartlett’s test was significant at 0.000 level. Consequently, out of the 15 elements run for the EFA, three elements were deleted because they did not meet the prerequisite of the factor analysis. The findings identified twelve important competencies needed for integration into technical college programs curricular. Therefore, the researchers recommended that the identified managerial entrepreneurial competencies are appropriate for integration into technical college programs curricular for sustainable entrepreneurship training of technical college student for self-employment.
