    Sustainability is the principal component of state-funded college study activities and development associations. Some improvement, be that as it may, is the prevailing worldview of traditional farming. Farming discoveries are water, soil and air pollution, normal asset debasement and biodiversity misfortune. Considering these emergencies and the push to discover an exit plan, this paper, in light of the assessment of present-day literature, asserted that we should change from a technocratic approach to a social arrangement framework so as to support sustainable agriculture. Agriculture ought to be viewed as an act of human instinct. Hence, the reason for this audit paper is to research sociology's commitment to achieving agricultural sustainability. The exploration shows that agricultural sustainability can never again disregard human measurement and social segments at the centre of agricultural development. Albeit rustic and normal sciences are basic, sociology needs to assume its job in inquiring about the human viewpoints that are basic to African Scholar Publications & Research International VOL. 21 NO. 2 ISSN: 2010-1086 JUNE, 2021 African Scholar Journal of African Sustainable Development (JASD-2) 10 africanscholarpublications@gmail.com 2021 understanding and sustainability in agriculture. The commitments of sociology to sustainable agriculture incorporate investigating the ideal models used to decipher sustainability, progressing sociological models to clarify mentalities and practices, and illuminating policymakers about the social effects regarding assessing sustainable agricultural approaches. To understand the objectives of this study, a qualitative methodology and a secondary method of data collection were additionally utilized.

    NIGERIA'S ELECTIONS: AN ENTERPRISE AND A FALLACY
    (International Journal of Advanced Academic Research, 2022-01) 1Rasak Bamidele; Ogunlade Peter; Asamu Festus; Ake Modupe; Olowojolu Olakunle; Ake Susan
    The enormous sums of money involved in some political races make it impossible for those without access to large sums of money to compete on the same level as those who are completely subsidized. Nigeria's elections may allude to a fallacy based on the assumption that it has always been a huge business. Political parties spend a lot of money on exposure, coordination, and even vote-buying; favours and blessings are given, and political help is given in kind, making Nigeria's political decision a "cash and carry" issue. The elite political conduct determines the essence and destiny of national politics. This could be because politics in Nigeria is constructed as a 'winner takes all' game rather than nation-building. Ideology is an important feature of politics, not only because it provides a theoretical foundation for a general view of cultures, but also because it serves as an extraordinary tool for arbitration, self-identification, universal mobilization, and legitimacy. As a result, it may be correct to assert that a political party's ideological stance should be the first and most important instrument in an ideal situation. In Nigeria, ethnicity and faith have been divisive and largely unhelpful in the pursuit of democratic consolidation. As a result, the goal of this research is to look into Nigerian elections as both an enterprise and a fallacy. Through the use of secondary data collection techniques, this study answers the following questions: Is there a link between elections and political ideology? Is Nigeria's electoral process a success? This approach will be founded on a substantial body of elite theory-related literature and empirical applications that seek to characterize and explain power dynamics in contemporary society.

    Probability of Transiting from a Casual to a Permanent Work Arrangement
    (African Scholar Publications & Research International, 2021-06) Ake Modupe; Ake Susan; asak Bamidele; Ogunlade Peter; Asamu Festus5; Oye Olubukoye; Ganiu Rasaq Omokeji
    Education is one important factor that impacts the chances of consolidating the employment relationship, with profoundly educated workers, those with a college degree, having more chances, ceteris paribus, to transit to a permanent job than those with lower levels of education. Similarly, both the occupation of the worker and the economic activity of the business play a job in deciding the transition from one sort of employment to another. Accordingly, occupations in development and agriculture offer casual workers fewer chances of transition, what may be explained by the more seasonal character of these activities in comparison to industry and services. Studies have revealed how workers in nonqualified occupations have the most reduced probability of getting utilized on a permanent basis. Based on this argument, therefore, this study examines the probability of transiting from a casual to a permanent work arrangement and utilized equity theory as a theoretical framework.

    WOMEN AND POLITICAL MARGINALIZATION IN NIGERIA
    (Cenresin Publications, 2019) Ake Modupe; Rasak Bamidele; Olowojolu Olakunle; Oye Olubukoye; Ake Susan
    Abstract; The word marginalization is a social process of becoming or being relegated to the fringe of society. Marginalization at the individual level results in an individual’s exclusion from meaningful participation in society. An example of marginalization at the community level is the marginalization of women. Women are excluded from the labour force and their work in the home is not economically valued and compensated. Feminists’ theorists argued that women should equally participate in the labour force, both in the public and private sectors. Today, it is argued that women are still marginalized from executive positions and continue to earn less than men at upper management cadres. In this study, the concept of marginalization and women political participation is critically examined. It also examines the steps and procedures being followed in order to encourage women to participate in politics during the last democratic dispensation of the Jonathan administration; for example, the Women for Change Initiative and the Women Empowerment Programme. The study examines the problems faced by women during elections in Nigeria due to violence; harassment and electoral malpractices and the level of performance of various women elected into various offices.
