Item A lexicostatistic study of some extinct and near extinct words in Yoruba(Department of Linguistics and Nigerian Languages, Univerity of Ilorin, Nigeria, 2014) Raifu, K. A.; Adeyemi, R. O.Item Africa, globalization & development: In search for Chimerical Change?(Faculty of Arts journal, FAJ, Benue State University, Markudi, Nigeria, 2013) Adebisi, A. A.; Adeyemi, R. O.The world today is divided between developed and developing countries. Incidentally, most of the developing ones fall within African continent where daily life is determined by poverty, corruption, and conflict. Africa has not benefitted from the economic gains of globalization for its development. One may like to ask: what went wrong in Africa? How could things have gone so badly wrong in Africa? Social conditions generally have indicated that there is failure of development in Africa even in the face of globalization. If Africa is lagging behind in terms of development there must be something wrong about Africa itself that is standing in the way of development. These and some other questions are what this paper sets to re-examine, with particular focus on the pace of development and its trends in Africa. It equally set to underscore what and how the phenomenon of globalization and development has eluded the continent. Like some other works in this area, it is observed that poverty, engendered by corruption as well as incessant conflict occasioned by poverty has been the bane of progress and by implication underdevelopment in Africa. While several policies has been idealized particularly the United Nations Agencies, yet the problem of underdevelopment still remain with African. It is thus suggested that perhaps and unless African leaders take the politico-economic destiny of their state into their hands, search for development in Africa might be chimerical as the problem might continually live with them.Item Africa, globalization & development: In search for Chimerical Change?(Faculty of Arts journal, FAJ, Benue State University, Markudi, Nigeria, 2013) Adebisi, A.
