Authors: Nurbahri Andini , Ismah Zata , Firmansyah
Published: November 2022

Information about Covid-19 spreads very quickly through social media as quickly as the virus spreads so that it can have both negative and positive impacts. The negative impact is panic, and the positive impact can be the government's partner in disseminating information related to Covid-19. This study aims to find out how the public's access to the news of covid-19. This research is quantitative with a cross sectional design. The research was conducted in 2022 in one of the women's study places in the Medan area. The number of samples was 40 people with an age range of 20 years to 80 years. The method of data collection is by interviewing the respondents. The results of the study showed that 1) Social media (instagram, facebook, youtube, twitter, tiktok) were the alternative media that most respondents chose to find initial information about Covid-19; 2) The majority of respondents access news about Covid-19 in one day (units of hour) with an average duration of < 1 hour; 3) The majority of respondents experienced changes in behavior due to mass media coverage related to Covid-19 in the form of adopting a healthy and hygienic lifestyle; 4) The majority of respondents stated that "based on the news they can imagine reality, but do not know/cannot confirm the actual conditions" related to the news of Covid-19 in the mass media; 5) The majority of respondents are looking for the most needed information related to Covid-19, which is about Covid-19 prevention information. It is recommended for the government to continue to strengthen information about covid-19 by utilizing social media, especially regarding the prevention of Covid-19 and straightening out the hoaxes that are currently circulating.

Traumatic Femoral Neck Fracture in a Child After a Motor Vehicle Accident: A Case Report
Authors: Rademan Jacobus , Rademan Jacobus , Adam Nabeela
Published: November 2022

Femoral neck fractures in children are extremely rare. They are usually unilateral and the product is of a high-velocity impact. The presence of a femoral neck fracture in a child should prompt the attending physician to look for other serious injuries and continuous monitoring should commence in a high care setting. Early surgery (open reduction and internal fixation) is key to preventing avascular necrosis. We present an 11-year-old, previously well, female who sustained a right hip dislocation and femoral neck fracture after a motor vehicle accident. The patient was stabilized at a nearby peripheral hospital and a closed reduction of the hip was attempted under sedation. The post-reduction x-ray showed a femoral neck fracture with the femoral head displaced posteriorly.

Phonological Effects and Functions of English Loan-words on the Tiv Grammar
Authors: Aor Terfa
Published: November 2022

There is no human language that is devoid of borrowing loan-words from a parent language to its own (recipient) language. When loan-words are injected into a recipient language, there are certain phonological effects that such words have on the grammar of such a language. This paper critically discusses the phonological implications and functions of English loan-words on Tiv the grammar. The objectives of this paper are to: classify phonological implications of English loan-words on the grammar of Tiv language; discuss the implications of English loan-words on Tiv grammar;  explore the phonological functions of English loan-words; and, state reasons that necessitate borrowing of loan-words. The author used primary and secondary sources. The researcher used participant-observer technique as his primary source and documentary sources were used. It has been found out that most English loan-words have no substitutes in Tiv; loan-words have expanded the vocabulary of the Tiv grammar; the original syllabic structure of most loan-words changed from close to open syllables; and epenthetic letters are added to break consonant clusters, for plurality and as a hiatus repairing strategy. It has been recommended that papers should be churned out in the areas of historical, comparative and contact linguistics. Lecturers should give assignments or project topics on phonologically related processes.
The language factor in identity politics: An exploratory research
Authors: Okeke Remi Chukwudi , Oboko Uche
Published: November 2022

This paper essentially interrogates the language factor in identity politics. It perceives identity politics as inevitable in societal affairs. Language is viewed from the paper's functionalist perspective, whereby the language concept is interwoven with human existence. The work further investigates what it sees as a dilemma in language deployment under identity politics. The problem of the study thus centers on how language achieves its communicative purposes in its deployment under identity politics. The paper accordingly hypothesizes that the language question is intertwined with identity issues. The methodology of the research is nonquantitative, basically relying on nonnumerical presentation. The theoretical framework is Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). Under this theoretical template, the article focused on how group power dealings are determined and strengthened through language utilization. The contribution finally concludes that language's communicative purposes can only be achieved in identity politics under mutually beneficial standards or multicultural paradigms.
Climatic variation and food security implications in sub-Sahara Africa
Authors: Asogwa Ikechukwu Sebastine , Onyegbulam Lilian Akunna
Published: November 2022

The changing temperature has been identified as a major factor militating against food and nutrition security in sub-Sahara Africa (SSA). The food production index and undernourished population growth index are used as a proxy for food and nutritional security. The study controlled climatic change responses on some agricultural characteristics and factors like the share of arable land, irrigation, population, and labor. The dynamic panel of the generalized method of moments (GMM) was applied to the global water balance empirical framework. The scope of the study is sub-Sahara Africa, drawn from 29 countries from 2000 to 2016. Findings from the study reveal that the short-run effect of temperature degrees increase poses at least -3.1% negative and significant impact on the food production while the long-run elasticity hits -7.5%. The controlled effect on arable land shows a positive impact on food production to the tune of 3.9%. Contrarily, arable land expansion reduces the undernourished population by -8.55%. Population increase, on the other hand, increases the undernourished population in the region to the tune of 11.95%.  The study recommends the reservation of more arable land for agricultural practice. At the same time, the population control policy is encouraged to jointly negate the undesired effects of temperature on food and nutritional security timely now that food and nutritional security is the panacea for a standard of living.
(Re) Thinking the representation of Nigerian traditional religious practices and Western religion in selected Nollywood movies
Authors: Nyamkoh Wanyu Ernest , Gwladys Pa’ami Tchakote
Published: November 2022

This paper sets out to analyze the depiction of Nigerian traditional religious practices vis-à-vis Western religious practices in some Nigerian movies against the backdrop that some Nollywood films are imbued with ideologies that uphold and promulgate western Christian values at the expense of core Nigerian traditional religious values. Previous studies demonstrate that the tendency in Western religious thought has been to see African cultural practices and spirituality as void of moral character in the history of human civilization deserving distillation. It is unfortunate that the tendency for most African filmmakers is still to produce contents that discredit Nigerian spirituality by portraying it as void of moral character. The study is informed by Multimodal Discourse Analysis which provides methodological tools applied in the analyses of the selected movies. The paper, therefore, analyses the discursive strategies used to promote western Christian practices against those of Nigeria in particular and Africa at large in the movies under study. This paper assumes that Nigerian traditional religions and spirituality are depicted in contrast to western religious values in a conflicting space. By depicting custodians of Nigerian traditional religions and spirituality in malevolent practices in contrast to custodians of western religion depicted as benevolent, the filmmakers in the films under study undermine the essence of Nigerian core values. The analyses demonstrate that the Nollywood movies selected for the study are imbued with stereotypes that serve a colonial agenda by properly engaging Nigeria’s religious history with western religions. They serve as a medium through which western religious ideologies are upheld at the detriment of traditional Nigerian values in particular and African in general.
Diachronic study of phonological changes in the Tiv language
Authors: Aor Terfa
Published: November 2022

Abstract: All levels of language analysis are prone to changes in their phonology, morphology, graphology, lexis, semantics and syntax over the years. Tiv language is not an exception to this claim. This study investigates various aspects of phonological or sound changes in Tiv language. This paper therefore classifies sound changes in Tiv; states causes of sound changes in Tiv and explores implications of sound changes. The research design used in this paper is purposive sampling of relevant data. The instrument used in this paper is the observation method in which the author selected words that showed epenthesis, deletion and substitution. It has been noted that the use of archaic spellings in the Modern Tiv literatures shows their ancientness. Phonological change is not a deviation but a sign of language growth and changes in spellings result in changes in sounds. The author recommends that scholars should write papers or critical works on lexical/morphological, syntactic, semantic, graphological changes in Tiv language. Students should write projects, dissertations and theses on language change and diachronic linguistics. This study introduces Tiv historical linguistics and diachronic phonology which serve as catalysts for the study of Tiv language. The understanding of Tiv sound change provides students with a much better understanding of Tiv phonological system in general, of how Tiv phonology works and how the phonemes fit together.

Religious imperialism and African religion: In search of religious tolerance
Authors: Utsu Pauleson Ashibeshibe
Published: November 2022

The thrust of this paper is driven by the current reactions of Pentecostal Christians to the African religious (AR) material elements in some parts of Nigeria. There have been occasions of touching the AR artefacts and countermining of AR by these Pentecostal pastors. One of the most disrespected religions which receive discourteous treatments in Africa and by Africans of other faith is African religion. Africa religion (AR) stands out to be a prominent dimension that permeated the cosmological, metaphysical and epistemology comprehension of life by the ancient Africans. The religious experiences of this religion fashioned a spirituality of social relation, communal relationship, and opened-mindedness. Almost all descendants of African societies had a taste of this religion’s spirituality. However, colonialism cum religious imperialism staged a colossal presence with disregard to its gross to the African Religion.  In effect, in modern African society, when most Africans pick-up a new religion (whether Islam or Christianity) in sprightliness they treat with contempt the material elements of AR, subvert its beliefs, divest its essence and, retard its progress. This paper will argue that religious imperialism is moral error which demands a moral virtue of religious tolerance. Before arriving at this conclusion, it looked into the nature of religious imperialism and African religion; analyses the Pentecostal attitudes towards AR; a brief overview of AR.
Community Radio for cohesion and integration during Kenya’s 2017 post-election violence: A study of Migori County
Authors: Anyuor Nicholas , Achieng’ Rose
Published: November 2022

Kenya’s elections are mostly marred with violence, especially after announcements of presidential results. Peace and media experts on the other hand have blamed Kenyan media for fueling cases of post-poll conflicts. It is in this understanding that this study assessed the contents of community radios in Migori County to investigate the role they played in promoting cohesion and integration during the 2017 Kenya’s post-election violence. The research, which was conducted in Migori town, studied five radio stations namely; Milambo, Onagi, Anyuola, Rameny and Tarumbeta which are located within Migori County. The specific objectives were: to assess the extent to which the 2017 post-election violence affected residents of Migori town; to establish if the five stations developed contents that promoted cohesion and integration during the violence and to assess the extent to which the contents aired on the radio stations promoted cohesion and integration among residents of Migori town. Study was a survey that utlilised mixed research approach where qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection were used. Systematic random sampling was employed to administer 399 questionnaires. For qualitative data, 21 key informants were purposeively selected and interviewed. The quantitative data collected was analysed using SPSS while qualitative data was analyzed using content analysis. From the study it was found and concluded that Community Radio, if professionally used, promotes cohesion and integration during post-poll conflicts. The study has recommended that in order to reduce incessant post-poll violence in Kenya, the relevant stakeholders should work together to air contents that enhance cohesion and integration in order to curb violence recurrence. Policies should be developed and funding availed to help facilitate matters media and peace.
Ethnicity, identity and the search for a new social order: A study of Zakes Mda’s The Madonna of Excelsior and Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things
Authors: Anye Tse Valery
Published: November 2022

This research paper examines ethnicity and identity as represented in Zakes Mda’s The Madonna of Excelsior and Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things. In the reading of these novels one realises that the South African and Indian societies still face ethnic rivalry which has been a perennial problem from time immemorial. The bone of contention underlying this research is the fact that Zakes Mda and Arundhati Roy in their texts present societies fragmented by ethnic rivalry and identity crises which have hindered the effective evolution of these societies. This paper thus, seeks to answer the following questions: How is the fragmented nature of South Africa and India presented by Mda and Roy and what strategies are adopted by characters in these novels to remedy this situation? As a follow-up to these questions, this paper hypothesised that Zakes Mda and Arundhati Roy in similar ways highlight the predicaments of their societies and propose reconciliatory strategies through which these societies can evolve. To proceed with this study, we have chosen the postcolonial theory which aims at scrutinising the inter-human relationships in these societies as presented in these novels. Throughout the analysis, we realised that in societies with many ethnic groups, relationships are developed based on colour or tribal lines, or upon the binaries of the Manichean Allegory, which have a great impact on the relationship between characters. This led to the conclusion that a future space of peace, harmony and fraternity can only be achieved if characters express tolerance, respect each other, and above all reconcile their differences.
Evolution of film policy in Kenya
Authors: Simiyu Kennedy Njasi
Published: November 2022

This paper examines attempts by Kenyan governments to put in place policies or law that control and promote film industry right from the colonial era. Taking a historical approach, this article identifies trends in film policy and by extension media policy in Kenya across different political regimes. The trends show there is no consistency and documentation of film policy. Trends show that the legislations are prohibitive in the manner they were written with deliberate efforts to curtail film production and often interference by executive powers in the day- to day regulations of the film industry. This paper relies on legal documents for data collection. The article concludes that although some strides have been made in drafting film policy, the draft is yet to be signed even as the film industry continues to struggle under a prohibitive colonial policy.
Ephemisms as communication vehicle in the Tiv language and literature
Authors: Aor Terfa , Tsevenda Moses
Published: November 2022

The beauty of Tiv language and literature is achieved when communication or discourse is laced with euphemistic expressions. Euphemisms aid in turning impolite utterances into polite ones. This study, therefore, investigates the communicative potentials of euphemisms in the Tiv language and literature. The study discusses formations of euphemisms, classifies euphemisms and explores the effects of euphemisms. Connotative theory of meaning has been deployed in this study because the interpretation of euphemisms is contextually and connotatively loaded. Methodologically, the author used primary and secondary materials. The author used a participant-observation tool for data collection. Being a native speaker of the Tiv language, the author collected, translated and classified euphemisms. Secondary materials were sourced from textbooks, journal articles, online sources and dictionaries. The following findings were made: euphemisms constitute phrasal or idiomatic synonyms; they beautify or spice our daily communication; they can becloud meanings. This study will benefit preachers, writers, lecturers/teachers, researchers, semanticists, public speakers, politicians and students.
Loan performance and lending rate: Testing the existence of adverse selection in the Nigerian credit market
Authors: Abugwu Chimezie O’Brian , Kur Keghter Kelvin , Urama Henry Chimaobi , Abbah Chidozie Sunday
Published: November 2022

Leaning on the loan pricing theory, this study provided empirical proof of the existence of adverse selection in the Nigerian credit market using the interrelation between the lending rate and non-performing loans as a decision factor. The paper employed Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF), Phillips Perron (PP), and Kwiatkowski–Phillips–Schmidt–Shin (KPSS) for stationarity tests, Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Bound Test for cointegration and an ARDL model for the regression analyses using quarterly data. The results of the analyses showed a positive and consequential link connecting non-performing loans and lending rates, proving the existence of adverse selection in the Nigerian credit market in the short-run and long-run. Based on the results, the study recommends that the apex bank implement a price ceiling in the credit market. Banks and other financial institutions should properly define their lending rates given their cost of funds and other operational expenses. And hence, carefully select viable borrowers from the credit market that suit the bank’s credit policy rather than adjust the lending rate up to compensate for higher risk.

Published: November 2022

This study evaluated children's responses to the 'Taste is the difference' Indomie Instant noodles television commercial in Anambra State, Nigeria. It is premised on the background that children who live and interact with other members of society cultivate different behaviours after exposure to media content. There is a need to control the spread of unethical media content for children's safety, cultivating acceptable socio-cultural behaviours and positive development. The study hinged on Cultivation and Social Learning Theories and adopted the Focus Group Discussion research method with structured questions as a data collection instrument. Multi-stage sampling techniques were used to select 364 primary six pupils as respondents from three schools in the three senatorial districts of Anambra State, Nigeria, on consent from relevant authorities. Findings show that respondents were significantly exposed to the select commercial; there was a high recall of message elements. The respondents were also found to be favourably disposed to the message elements and perceived some elements as imperfect because they eroded aspects of their culture. The study concludes that the select respondents responded positively to the entertainment aspect and negatively to the cultural implication of the commercial. The study recommended amendments to message elements in the commercial that eroded some aspects of Nigerian culture.

Authors: Asaju Kayode , Yohanna Ashepo Sunday
Published: November 2022

Development Administration is primarily concerned with the various strategies adopted to achieve accelerated national development, especially in developing countries. In Nigeria, various strategies for achieving national development seem not to achieve the desired objectives. The country has been bedevilled by various development problems which permeate all the sectors in the country. One of the problems is the high rate of insecurity in Nigeria. The paper examines the state of insecurity in Nigeria and its consequences on the quest to achieve Development Administration in the country. The paper adopts qualitative analysis as the bulk of data is collected from official documents, books, journals, newspapers and magazines, among other instruments. The results showed that the high rate of insecurity in Nigeria perpetuated by different forms and groups of criminals significantly affects the national development in Nigeria. The results showed that the high rate of insecurity in Nigeria perpetuated by different forms and groups of criminals significantly affects the national development in Nigeria. The situation reflected the rate of unemployment, poverty, disruption of farming and other economic activities, destruction of lives and property, and out-of-school children among other problems. The paper suggests renewed and vigorous efforts at providing employment opportunities to the youths, engaging the criminals who are ready for peace, engaging the various traditional institutions and religious bodies in the fight against criminal elements, and adopting high tech in the fight against criminal elements, voting for leaders with the requisite knowledge, honest, and those that would be above primordial sentiments.
Political apathy and the imperative of media education in Nigeria
Authors: Chukwuma Okechukwu
Published: November 2022

The fact that the workability of any political process is largely dependent on the active participation of the masses remains undisputable. Also, the active participation of the masses in any political process is largely dependent on the level of awareness and effective mobilization. Research evidence and critical observations have all pointed  to the fact that lack of awareness and effective mobilization of the masses for any political process engender and sustain apathy which ultimately frustrates such political agenda. The paper tried to explore the situation of political apathy in Nigeria and how such apathy could be mitigated by the media. Through intensive review of relevant documents, it was argued that led to critical discourse on the subject of focus of the paper, it was found that lack of education/sanitation of the masses, lack of effective mobilization, the menace of corruption, political violence and consistent military intrusion in governance have fundamentally engendered political apathy in Nigeria. It was also found that the media has the capacity to reduce or ultimately eradicate political apathy by engaging in aggressive sensitization and education of the masses, mobilization of the masses, fighting corruption, correcting political misconceptions and ensuring two-way-communication. Accordingly, the paper advanced a roadmap for the effective utilization of the media not only to change the status quo, but to position Nigeria on the path of political progress as an emerging democracy in Africa.
Sustaining development in Nigeria through liberal democracy
Authors: Umunakwe Bruno Onyinye , Nzeagwu Miraculous Tochukwu , Aguzie Declan , Akaire Bright Chimezie
Published: November 2022

Development is a pivotal process for human existence. The unique feature of the development is that it involves an active engagement of everybody. In Nigeria, the situation is different because, with the inception of self-rule particularly the return of full democracy in 1999, the system of politics disguisedly revolves around the interests of the few (bourgeois). National interests are handled like private property by the selected few who came into power on the basis of socio-economic status, tribe, and religion. However, people who are supposed to contribute to the transformation of the state are neither not voted into power because of their tribe nor allowed to participate in national decisions. Nigerian politics in a nutshell stifled all efforts of true democratization because of greed which sidelines the welfare of the masses. Advocates of development insist that the process can only be sustained in a society where there is a principle of equal opportunities. By this, the principles of right, law, and government should aim at shielding different personalities as illustrated in the principles of liberal democracy. Liberal democracy maintains a political value that incorporates equality and widens the horizon for religious, economic, political, and intellectual freedom of citizens. It is on this basis that this study suggests liberal democracy as a vital system which can transform the socio-economic and political situation of Nigeria. The study recommends that to sustain development in Nigeria, stakeholders should prioritize the welfare of the civil society against material gains and selfish interests of the few elites.

Comparative Analysis of Mined Reserve Tonnage on "M" Hill Between Mine Plan and Mining Realization
Authors: Djamaluddin Djamaluddin , Mulhadramy Mulhadramy , Jafar Nurliah
Published: November 2022

In mining activities, there is often a discrepancy between the plan and actual conditions in the field; if not identified early, this discrepancy will undoubtedly have the potential to cause losses if it continues to repeat itself. This study aimed to determine the factors driving the difference between the mine plan and mining realization. This research uses Pit design data, mine progress measurement data, material movement data, and two mine plan data, namely the backup plan model resulting from detailed exploration and the backup plan model data from the input drill results. From the results of the mine plan research, the closest to realization is the plan using input drill data with an average material movement difference of 10% and the difference in mined ore reserves an average of 12%. In comparison, detailed exploration data with an intermediate material movement difference of 12% to 42% and the contrast in mined ore reserves is 52% on average. The presence of overcuts influences this and the use of different densities.
