Positive Effect

A quick glance at the second stanza of Nigeria national anthem attests to the fact that religion is valued by Nigeria. The whole stanza is a prayer to God to guide Nigeria into the right path and is sung intermittently with the first stanza which contains an appeal to all citizens to uphold the unity and sanctity of the nation. The second stanza of the national anthem implies that public practice of religion is not a problem as the stanza is publicly sung in both government and private organisations. This paper proceeds on the earlier works of scholars such as Mbiti1 and Idowu2 who assert that Africans are incurably religious. Nigeria national anthem is a pointer to this assertion. The paper adopts both historical and content analysis methods to gather and interpret data. We conclude that despite the fact that religion is held in high esteem in Nigeria, it is hard to see its positive effect on national development.

Representations Of Women

This study investigates how women are portrayed in Nollywood films, as well as the interpretation of their representations. It aims at understanding how the images of women are reflected in films, with a focus on investigating the influence of such portrayals on their role in national development. The methods adopted were Quantitative Content Analysis (five Nollywood films were content analysed) and Focus Group Discussion (three sessions of FGD were organised). Data collected and analysed show that over two-thirds of major female characters analysed were portrayed as dependent, 80% were depicted in such situations of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, while only 30% of the major female characters were portrayed as career professionals and intellectuals. It was observed from the analyses that portrayals and representations of women have negative influences on their contributions towards national development. The study concludes, therefore, that positive portrayal of women in Nollywood films should be encouraged. This can only be made possible through changing the narrative style of the film scripts. This is a call for more female script writers and directors to be involved in charting the narratives that will adequately give women a voice, new roles, and the right representation in Nollywood films.

This article aims to highlight the determinants of menstrual cycles. Menstruation is the nature created by Allah Almighty on women. In general, each woman experiences her own menstrual cycle which may reflect their health status. However, there are women who are still confused and unclear about their menstruation when the irregular menstrual cycle occurs. This also leads to misunderstandings in the legalization of certain worship when the menstrual cycle occurs abnormally. Therefore, this article aims to highlight previous studies related to women's blood. This study was qualitative using content analysis methods that highlighted previous studies on women's blood. The results show that most of the studies done by ancient or contemporary scholars touch on women's blood. Based on the literature, it is found that the systematic calculation method is still poorly implemented and the level of public understanding of the calculations is still unclear. Therefore, the right method of calculation is very important in assisting women in determining menstruation. Artikel ini bertujuan menyorot penentuan kiraan haid menurut syarak. Haid merupakan fitrah yang dicipta oleh Allah SWT ke atas wanita. Secara umumnya, setiap wanita mengalami kitaran haid tersendiri yang boleh menggambarkan tahap kesihatan mereka. Meskipun begitu, terdapat wanita yang masih keliru dan kurang jelas tentang haid mereka apabila kitaran haid yang tidak teratur berlaku. Hal ini turut membawa kepada kekeliruan dalam penentuan hukum sesetengah ibadat apabila kitaran menstruasi berlaku secara tidak normal. Oleh itu, artikel ini bertujuan menyorot kajian-kajian lepas berkaitan dengan darah wanita. Kajian ini bersifat kualitatif menggunakan kaedah analisis kandungan yang menyorot kajian-kajian lepas berkaitan darah wanita. Hasil sorotan mendapati bahawa, kebanyakan kajian yang dilakukan oleh ulama silam mahupun kontemporari menyentuh berkaitan darah wanita. Berdasarkan literatur yang dijalankan mendapati cara perkiraan yang sistematik masih kurang dijalankan dan tahap kefahaman masyarakat terhadap perkiraan masih keliru. Justeru, kaedah perkiraan yang betul sangat penting dalam membantu wanita dalam menentukan haid.

The Face

We examine the 2016–2017 National Football League (NFL) kneeling protests that were performed during the pregame national anthem to draw attention to the problems of police brutality and violence against African Americans. Elaborating the concept of tactical neutralization, we delineate various strategies that opponents used to delegitimize this tactic and strip it of its power, thereby encouraging the athlete-protesters to desist. Drawing on online newspaper accounts of the NFL anthem protests, we use directed content analysis methods to inductively discern these “neutralization strategies,” which included discursive delegitimation of the protesters and their tactics, imposing costs for participation, and cooptation. Through successful relegitimation efforts, these athlete-protesters were able to sustain their tactic, even in the face of widespread opposition. Furthermore, a backfire dynamic was unleashed when a controversial, high profile opponent engaged in these delegitimation efforts, resulting in increased participation and heightened tactical strength.

The goal of berthing Nigeria’s full-scale industrial revolution is yet to be achieved. All the industrial development plans have so far failed to accelerate the nation’s industrialization, hence the country’s low industrial base which has kept her in the league of developing nations. In fact, Nigeria has in recent times been experiencing deindustrialization, as several industries have collapsed and some others, such as Unilever and Michelin, have relocated to other countries. Several factors are responsible for Nigeria’s low industrial development and they include: inadequate infrastructure (particularly, energy), poor technological base, multiple taxes and levies, and, the shortage and high cost of foreign exchange. Despite a growing body of literature on industrialization in Nigeria, not much has been written about the link between Public Service Reforms and industrialization in Nigeria. This paper examines the links between the implementation of the Service Compact (SERVICOM) Charter and the achievement of Nigeria’s industrial development policies, especially the ‘Ease of Doing Business’ Policy. The paper makes the case that the goal of industrializing Nigeria will not be fully realised without an efficient Public Service. Furthermore, the paper highlights the need for Nigerian public servants to have the right work attitude, and to be morally upright and patriotic, in order to create a business-friendly environment and to build investor confidence, so as to facilitate and accelerate the country’s industrialization and overall national development. The author recommends that the Nigerian government should strengthen the implementation of the Servicom Charter and also incorporate the Charter into the industrialization plan.

AbstractReviewing and rating are important features of many social media websites, but they are found on many e-commerce sites too. The combination of social interaction and e-commerce is sometimes referred to as social commerce to indicate that people are supporting each other in the process of buying goods and services. Rgeviews of other consumers have a significant effect on consumer choice because they are usually considered authentic and more trustworthy than information presented by a vendor. The collaborative effort of consumers helps to make the right purchase decision (or prevent from a wrong one). The effect of reviews has often been researched in terms of helpfulness as indicated by their readers. Images are an important factor of helpfulness in reviews of experience goods where personal tastes and use play an important role. We extend this research to search goods where objective characteristics seem to prevail. In addition, we analyze potential interaction with other variables. The empirical study is performed with regression analyses on 3,483 search good reviews from Amazon.com followed by a matched pair analysis of 186 review pairs. We find that images have a significant positive effect on helpfulness of reviews of search goods too. This is especially true in case of short and ambiguous reviews.
