    (2016-07) Olatunji, A. Ganiyu; Abubakar Yinusa Muhammed; Ebenezer E. Lawal; Raji Abdullateef
    Globalisation has been one of the major political-economic terms that have gained academic attention of most social science scholars in the 21st century. This is because of its impact on the socio-economic and political climates of human societies world-over. Generally, various factors have been observed as enhancing the globalisation ideology, one of such is the development of the entrepreneurial sector. However, due to the under-development of the entrepreneurial sector in Nigeria, the globalisation ideology has suffered setbacks despite the availability of numerous opportunities that would have been hitherto utilized to put the country at vantage point in the global order. It is based on this observation that this paper seeks to look into the challenges and opportunities faced by entrepreneurs in Nigeria as they engage in their daily business activities in the globalised world. The paper recommends that government at all levels should provide possible solutions to the challenges hindering entrepreneurial development in the country especially because of the numerous opportunities that exist in the sector which, if properly utilized will benefit the country and make it to be among the gainers in the game of globalisation.

    Institutional structures all over the world play crucial role in the development of the society especially rural areas. This is because no individual or society can develop without those structures. This study examines the developmental impacts of institutional structures on rural area in Asa Local Government Area of Kwara State. As such, survey design was adopted. The data were collected through questionnaires administered to one hundred and twenty (120) households in Asa. Data collected were analysed through descriptive statistics; Chi-square was employed to test the hypotheses. The findings revealed that there is a significant relationship between institutional structures and sustainable rural development. Also, it was discovered that a close supervision of the institutional structures will enhance the level of development in the rural areas. Based on the above, it was recommended that there is need for the three-tier governments to intensify efforts in establishing more institutional structures in the rural areas. Furthermore, government and the communities should ensure that the institutional structures are well monitored coordinated and supervised. Lastly, corporate organisations, non-governmental organisations and individuals should be sensitised on the need to establish institutional structures for the rural dwellers

    The nomadic populace of the country represents a section that could be said to be held with levity. The flame of literacy is close to being snuffed out among the nomadic masses. Not only should literacy be valued over illiteracy but literacy somewhat guarantees the nomads a life beyond their current one. It offers them a lifeline into the modern world, shedding the skin of illiteracy for that of the well-read. It is in line with this that a study was done in Orelope local government of Oyo State to find out if the establishment of nomadic schools have significantly modernized their lifestyle. The study also tries to know if there is any significant relationship between nomadic education and rural development, in terms of the availability of social infrastructures. The survey method was employed with a two-stage sampling technique to select a sample size of 125. The chi square method was then used to analyse the data collected. The study discovered that there is no relationship between nomadic schools and rural development. Also, the schools have not significantly changed the lifestyles of the nomads. Based on these, the study recommends that conducive learning environments should be made available, the amendment of the educational syllabus to suit the lifestyle of the nomads should be given priority.

    Objectives. This study investigates the conflicting roles of female medical career women in Nigeria. The objectives of the study include: to know who fills the gap as a mother and wife while they are away at work; to know if they provide the needed emotional and psychological support for their families?; to determine if these conflicting roles affect their health and who is to blame? Materials and Methodology. The study was conducted among married female medical doctors in three Tertiary Hospitals in Nigeria. The study employed qualitative research method in which data was retrieved through in-depth interviews with 15 participants selected through multi-stage sampling method. Results. Findings revealed that relatives, the school, and caregivers play the role of the female medical career women when they are at work while communication by career women with their families when they are not at home is done through phone calls, text messages, video calls, WhatsApp chats. The majority of the participants is unable to meet up with the role of providing emotional and psychological support for their families because of their busy schedules at work, which also affects their health adversely. Conclusion and Recommendation. Most of the participants interviewed were found unable to effectively occupy their roles as mothers and wives in the family because of their career. The study recommends that, since the role of women in the family cannot be overemphasized and at the same time women are expected to pursue careers of their own choice, women in Nigeria should endeavor to maintain a balance in their roles as career women at work and as wives in the family.

    Objectives. This study investigated the factors responsible for the Boko-Haram insurgency activities in North Central Nigeria, and how the family could help to forestall future occurrence of insurgent activities as an institution of change in the society. Materials and Methodology. The study was conducted in Ilorin, headquarters of Kwara State North-Central region of Nigeria. 20 participants selected through purposive sampling method were included in the study. Information was retrieved through in-depth interviews with key informants while the study was explained by attachment and Social Control theories. Findings. Results showed that poor parental training, poor parental values, poor parental care and poor parental monitoring and guidance are responsible for the involvement of children in insurgency activities in the region. However, child education, proper child upbringing, parent-child closeness, proper parental monitoring and parents being good examples to their children were suggested in the study as measures that could be put in place to forestall future occurrence of insurgency activities in Nigeria. Conclusion and Recommendation. The study concluded that the role of the family in maintaining order in the society cannot be overemphasized and as such, parental attachment and control is imperative in the family. It, therefore, recommends that, in order to forestall future occurrence of insurgency activities in Nigeria, it is necessary for families to ensure that child-parent attachment and emotional support in the family is not lacking so that individuals do not become miscreants in the society and tools used by deviants to disrupt national development in the Nigerian society.
