Ponzi Schemes: An Analysis on Coping with Economic Recession in Nigeria

The proliferation of Ponzi schemes in Nigeria appear to coincide with the official declaration of economic recession in early 2016. It is therefore pertinent to empirically investigate the nexus between the recession and Ponzi schemes in the country. Anchored theoretically on Robert Merton’s Strain Theory the study was guided by two research objectives and one hypothesis. The snow-balling sampling technique was used to select 135 Ponzi scheme participants from Rivers, Bayelsa and Anambra States. Descriptive analysis of the results was undertaken in tables, charts and graphs. The findings revealed amongst others that MMM, Ultimate cycler, Givers Forum, Get Help World Wide were the major Ponzi schemes in Nigeria. It was also found that Ponzi schemes are a coping strategy for economic recession. The paper posits that until the economic downturn is adequately addressed and the economy revamped, Ponzi schemes would continue to thrive in Nigeria. It recommended economic revitalisation through effective economic diversification policies that will enhance provision of socio-economic livelihood as palliatives to recession induced strain.

OBJECTIVE To compare the effectiveness of mobilization and self-exercises in the management of adhesive capsulitis of shoulder STUDY DESIGN Randomized Control Trial SAMPLE SELECTION 30 patients of adhesive capsulitis of shoulder from physiotherapy department of tertiary care hospitals of Karachi were selected through simple random sampling technique. PROCEDURE Treatment was continued for 5 days per week for the period of 3 weeks followed by assessment. Patients were randomly divided into two equal groups. Group A was treated with midrange mobilization while group B performed self-exercises. Both groups received TENS and hot pack prior to the exercises. Mean ± SD, frequencies and percentages were used for descriptive analysis. ROM via goniometry and pain intensity through VAS was analyzed by paired t-test within the groups and by independent t-test between the groups, using SPSS. P-value of less than 0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS 60% were females (n=18) and 40% were males (n=12) with mean age of 50.17±6.37 years. Significant improvement (p-value <0.05) in pain and shoulder ROM was observed among patients of Group A as compared to Group B.

Mathematics physics is a difficult learning and becomes a scourge in studies in physics education. Learning physics and mathematics itself will be very effective when using e-modules, but in terms of making e-modules, students' opinions or perceptions are needed regarding this matter. This study aims to look at student perceptions and also compare these perceptions with other classes based on gender or gender. The research conducted is a survey type quantitative research. The sampling technique used in this study was simple random sampling with the research subject as many as 92 physics education students who contracted the mathematics physics course. The instrument used in collecting data is 15 questions containing 4 choices that must be filled out by students. Analysis of the data used in this study in the form of descriptive analysis and ANOVA test to determine whether there is an average difference in each student's perception. The results obtained indicate that girls have different perceptions in class A and class B, while for boys there is a difference between class A and class C. These results indicate that girls have a fairly large average difference in perception with each other, while for boys the perception tends to be uniform compared to girls.
