The major objective of the study was to compare the benefits of the phenomenon with the challenges associated with it. This is to reach a cogent premise for upholding or discouraging the practice. The methodology followed a survey research design that involved generating data from individuals who patronize Aso-Ebi in Osun and Oyo States. Primary data sources came from a well-designed questionnaire which was administered to 270 respondents. The result findings revealed that: (i) Distress arising from the financial burden emanating from incessant purchase of Aso-Ebi fabrics (ii) Distress caused by unhealthy flamboyant competition among Aso-Ebi patrons, and (iii) Distress caused by compromising personal taste and choice for chosen Aso-Ebi fabrics are all significant challenges allied with the phenomenon. On the other hand, (i) Distress caused by the suspension of the use of personal clothes (ii) Distress caused by stocking loads of Aso- Ebi fabrics in personal wardrobes are found not to be significant. The study also found that the benefits associated with the practice outweigh the challenges therein. Consequently, it was recommended in the study that: (i) the practice of Aso-Ebi should be upheld and encouraged (ii) individuals, organizations and the Nigerian government at all levels should leverage on its potentials as a panacea for capacity building and economic growth (iii) it should be harnessed as an instrument for fostering social cohesion in Nigeria.

Penahanan yang dilakukan terhadap tersangka penyalahgunaan narkotika Golongan I bagi diri sendiri tidak memenuhi syarat boleh dilakukannya penahanan, sehingga secara yuridis tidak dapat dilakukan penahanan. Namun pada kenyataanya terhadap tersangka penyalahgunaan narkotika tersebut adanya dilakukan penahanan dan tidak dilakukan penahanan. Sehingga hal tersebut menjadi permasalahan dalam penegakan hukum pidana adalah masalah penahanan terhadap pelaku, yang terjadi tidak sejalannya syarat subjektif dan keadaan serta hambatan terkait dengan pentingnya dilakukan penahanan terhadap tersangka penyalahgunaan narkotika. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjelaskan dan mengkaji pelaksanaan penahanan pelaku tindak pidana narkotika yang melanggar Pasal 127 ayat (1) huruf a UU No. 35 Tahun 2009 Tentang Narkotika dan hambatan terhadap penahanan tindak pidana narkotika dalam Pasal 127 ayat (1) huruf a UU No. 35 Tahun 2009 Tentang Narkotika. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian yuridis empiris dengan pendekatan kualitatif dan menggunakan sumber data sekunder berupa data yang diperoleh melalui bahan kepustakaan dan sumber data primer berupa sumber data lapangan. Dari penelitian telah terjadi disharmonisasi hukum dalam melakukan penahanan antara Pasal 21 KUHAP dengan Pasal 127 ayat (1) huruf a UU No. 35 Tahun 2009 tentang Narkotika. Penerapan kedua pasal tersebut menghambat penegakan hukum dalam hal penanganan tersangka pada tahap penyelidikan dan penyidikan, sehingga terdapat perkara yang harus dihentikan karena tidak dilakukannya penahanan oleh jaksa yang menyidik, dan telah ditemukan juga hambatan yang terjadi meliputi hambatan yuridis, tidak adanya sarana dan prasarana yakni berupa laboratorium pemeriksaan narkotika, dan luasnya wilayah hukum yang tidak sesuai dengan jumlah personil lembaga Kejaksaan Negeri Jantho.The detention act against first degree self-use drug abuser does not qualify for detention, so that juridical detention can not be made. In fact, some of drug abusers will face detention and for some of those will not. So it becomes a problem in criminal law enforcement regarding the issue of detention, inconsistent subjective requirements and circumstances and obstacles related to the importance of detention of suspected narcotics abuser. This study aims to explain and examine the implementation of detention of perpetrators of narcotic abuse against the Article 127 paragraph (1) letter a UU no.35 Year 2009 about Narcotics and the barriers to the detention of narcotics crimes in Article 127 paragraph (1) letter a UU No.35 Year 2009 about narcotics. The research method used is empirical juridical method with qualitative approach and for secondary data sources was obtained through library materials, while primary data was collected in the form of field data sources. The research shows that it has been legal disharmony in the detention between Article 21 KUHAP with Article 127 paragraph (1) letter a UU No. 35 Year 2009 on Narcotics. The implementation of those two articles impedes law enforcement in the term of handling suspects during the investigation and investigative stages which led to the suspended /stalled cases because the detention was not conducted by the prosecutor who investigated, and the research has also found some obstacles that includes the juridical obstacles, the absence of facilities and infrastructure that is in the form of laboratory examination of narcotics, and the extent of jurisdiction area which is inconsistent with the number of personnel of the Jantho State Prosecution Service.

Actually, basic needs postulates securing of the elementary conditions of existence to every human being. Despite of the practical and theoretical importance of the subject the greatest irony is non- availability of any universal preliminary definition of the concept of basic needs. Moreover, this becomes the reason for unpredictability of various political programmes aiming at providing basic needs to the people. The shift is necessary for development of this or any other conception. No labour reforms could be made in history till labours were treated as objects. Its only after they were started being treating as subjects, labour unions were allowed to represent themselves in strategy formulations that labour reforms could become a reality. The present research paper highlights the basic needs of Human Rights in life.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine recent developments pertaining to China’s shadow banking sector. Shadow banking has the potential not only to be a beneficial contributor to continued economic growth, but also to contribute to systematic instability if not properly monitored and regulated. An assessment is made in this paper as to whether shadow banking is beneficial or harmful to China’s economic growth. Design/methodology/approach – The authors start with providing an overview of shadow banking from a global perspective, with information on its recent growth and importance in selected countries. The authors then focus directly on China’s shadow banking sector, with information on the various entities and activities that comprise the sector. Specifically, the authors examine the interconnections between shadow banking and regular banking in China and the growth in shadow banking to overall economic growth, the growth in the money supply and the growth in commercial bank assets. Findings – Despite the wide range in the estimates, the trend in the size of shadow banking in China has been upward over the examined period. There are significant interconnections between the shadow banking sector and the commercial banking sector. Low deposit rate and high reserve requirement ratios have been the major factors driving its growth. Shadow banking has been a contributor, along with money growth, to economic growth. Practical implications – The authors argue that shadow banking may prove useful by diversifying China’s financial sector and providing greater investments and savings opportunities to consumers and businesses throughout the country, if the risks of shadow banking are adequately monitored and controlled. Originality/value – To the authors’ knowledge, this paper is among the few to systematically evaluate the influence of shadow banking on China’s economic growth.
