Item INFLUENCE OF RELATIVE DEPRIVATION ON DEVIANT BEHAVIOURS OF YOUTHS IN ILORIN METROPOLIS(Department of Adult and Primary Education Studies, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria, 2017) Muhammad, Shuaib Abolakale; Okesina, Falilat Anike; Mustapha, Mulikat Ladi AYouth deviant behaviour is an increasing problem in Nigerian society today. This paper investigated the influence of relative deprivation on deviant behaviours of youths in Ilorin Metropolis. It considered relative deprivation as an important element that influences deviant behaviour among youths in Ilorin. Unemployment, lack of basic needs and income inequality were used to measure the extent of youth deprivation and their involvement in deviant acts. The design of the study was a survey type. The population for the study comprised all youths in Ilorin Metropolis. Total of 200 respondents were sampled for the study using simple random sampling technique. Data were collected from the respondents using an instrument titled “Influence of Relative Deprivation on Deviant Behaviour Questionnaire” (IRDDBQ). The hypotheses generated were analyzed using chi-square statistical analysis at 0.05 alpha level. The findings of the study indicated that there was a significant difference in the influence of unemployment, lack of basic needs and income inequality as a measure of relative deprivation on deviant behaviour of youths in Ilorin metropolis. The implication of this is that deprivation resulting from these measures can cause youth to engage in deviant acts. It is therefore recommended that counsellors should extend their services to include value orientation and self employment counselling to assist youth in developing right attitude to life in the face of deprivation and to manage their feelings instead of engaging in deviant act which can be detrimental to living a good life.Item SEXUAL BEHAVIOURS OF UNDERGRADUATES OF TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS IN KWARA STATE(Department of Counsellor Education, Faculty of Education, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria, 2014) Muhammad, Shuaib Abolakale; MUSTAPHA, Mulikat Ladi ASexuality among youths has become a source of great concern due to its attendant effects. Thus, the objective of this study was to investigate the sexual behaviours of undergraduates of tertiary institutions in Kwara State. The study also examined whether or not variables of gender and school type had significant influence on the sexual behaviours of undergraduates of tertiary institutions in Kwara State. Descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study while purposive sampling and proportional stratified sampling techniques were used to draw a sample of 640 undergraduates of tertiary institutions in Kwara state. The main research instrument employed for data collection was “Sexual Behaviour of Undergraduates Questionnaire (SBUQ). The instrument was subjected to test re-test reliability technique and a coefficient of 0.65 was obtained. Four research questions were raised and three research hypotheses formulated and tested. Data collected were computed using frequency counts; percentages, t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The hypotheses generated were tested at 0.05 alpha level. The main findings of the study indicated deep kissing with the opposite sex, sex activities for pleasure and manual stimulation as the main sexual behaviours of undergraduates of tertiary institutions in Kwara state, Nigeria. The study found a significant difference in the sexual behaviours of respondents on the basis of school type but no significant difference on the basis of gender. The implications of the findings are that undergraduates who engage in premarital sexual behaviours may be prone to STDs and other infectious diseases which could impact negatively on their family life. In line with the findings of the study, it was recommended that stakeholders, especially the school counsellors and teachers should provide guidance to students on developmental challenges and help youths to abstain from risky sexual behaviours. The study also stresses the need for regular sensitisationof undergraduates on positive attitude towards sex. Guidance and counselling units should be established in tertiary institutions so that guidance services can be provided on reproductive healthItem Sexual behaviours of undergraduates of tertiary institutions in Kwara state(Department of Counsellor Education, Faculty of Education, University of Ilorin, 2014) Muhammad, Shuaib Abolakale; Mustapha, Mulikat Ladi; Adegunju, Kabiru AdewaleSexuality among youths has become a source of great concern due to its attendant effects.
