Method: 600 consenting participants selected through two-stage sampling method were involved in the study. Primary data was retrieved through self-administered questionnaire. Results: Majority (84.0%) of the participants knew that EVD can be contacted through blood and bodily fluid of an infected person, (78.0%) knew that EVD can be prevented by avoiding contact with an infected person, while (76.0%) identified bleeding from orifices as one of the signs of EVD. However, (6.0%) of the participants did not know how EVD can be prevented. Conclusion: Result showed that participants have average knowledge of EVD and therefore, are not adequately informed of EVD.

    (Bangladesh Sociological Society, University of Dhaka, Ramna, Dhaka., 2016-07) Sulaimon M. Oriyomi; Muhammed A. Yinusa; Raji Abdullateef; Omede, A. Jolade; Sulaiman L. Abdulrasheed
    Social relationship is one of the basic features of human beings. This is so because of the fact that life could not be convenient without living with fellow human beings in the society. However, it is important to note that social relationship has basic processes in which if not balanced could lead to social conflict. This is evident in all human social settings especially the industrial settings; the process of relationship between the employees and employers is usually referred to as employment relationship. Employment relationship is the communication that takes place between the representatives of employees and employers on the issue of work relations. Balanced employment relationship is indispensable to the stability of any industrial organizations; it also facilitates the growth and development of industries in any country. The maintenance of a good human relationship is the main theme of industrial relations because its absence may cause the whole organizational structure to crumble. Years back, efforts exerted by employees, employers and their representatives as well as government to balance employment relations have not yielded much results and most often resulted into various industrial conflicts which have caused lots of setbacks to industrial development in the country. It is against this background that attempt is made in this paper to examine the role of balanced employee and employer relationship in the development of industries in Nigeria.

    Children in Stressful Situations in Nigeria: Child Abuse as a Focus for Development
    (Journal of Geography, Environment & Planning. Department of Geography and Planning Science, Faculty of the Social Sciences, Ekiti State University, Ado-Ekiti., 2017-08) Muhammed Abubakar Yinusa; Raji Abdullateef; ONUEGBU, C. Maryann
    Childhood is the most basic and fundamental stage in the developmental process of humans. It is the stage where humans are first introduced to social values, and learning to cope with the society, takes place. Care, love and security ought to be provided to children, as this would modify them and help them cope with social realities in the future. The Nigerian Child Act of2003 prohibits acts capable of violating the child's rights. The prohibition is against child marriage, tattoos, skin marks, betrothal etc. However, the country still records a high rate of neglect and abuse of children which implies an overwhelming level of child stress in the country; this is the rationale behind this article. This paper discusses the incidence and the causes of child stress in Nigeria, paying particular attention to child abuse. Attachment theory was employed to explain the effects of child stress. The paper suggests that re-orientation programmes, more research and policy formations contributions from concerned non-governmental institutions, and more focus on education would help to control the situation.

    Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the Nigerian legal system: a blessing in disguise?
    (Africa Social Work Network Journal of Development Administration (JDA), 2021) Adedokun, Kareem; Raji Abdullateef; Raji Khalid Olatunji; Muhammed Abubakar Yinusa
    As the world came to terms with the reality of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), a series of rippling effects were set in motion. As agitations for social distancing and calls to flatten the curve of infection spiralled, the world came to a resounding halt, impeding the functionality of social institutions. With the world gradually returning to normalcy, a need arises to study the precise impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on specific social institutions. This study examined the various ways the COVID-19 affected the Nigerian legal system. Adopting a secondary method of data collection, the study consulted research works and other sources of empirical information on COVID-19 and the legal system. The study found that by failing to declare a state of emergency, the enacted lockdown infringed upon citizens’ right to move freely as detailed in the Nigerian constitution. The study further found that the pandemic exposed weaknesses of Nigerian legal system in remote hearing and digitalisation of court procedures. Based on these findings, the study recommended that the Nigerian government should uphold the legalities of the constitution. The study also recommended for intensified efforts by the government to digitalize the legal system in line with international standards.

    (Department Public Administration, Federal University Wukari, Wukari., 2017) Raji Abdullateef; Mohammed Abubakar Yinusa; Raji Khalid Olatunji; Joseph Adesoji Oluyemi; Raji Abdulwasiu Adeyemi
    Humans have practiced some form of religion since the dawn of time. We have sought for solace in religion when faced by unexplainable questions of human existence. From womb to tomb, we are socialized into the particular beliefs that lend credence to the events of this life. To reinforce one’s belief, rites have to be performed by the believer often in a regularly scheduled fashion. However, the individual is in some cases unable to carry out these rites while at work. Here, corporate culture faces of with religion, seeking to assert dominance over the other and have the largest sway on the actions of the individual. It is on this basis that this study looks into the corporate culture of organizations in Ilorin metropolis to find out how as well as on what basis it hinders the employees from practicing the rites of their religion as well as how their face off affects organizational development in Ilorin metropolis To accomplish this research plan, the study made use of the survey method with multistage sampling used to select 350 respondents. Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyze the quantitative data. The simple percentage method and chi square were used to analyze the quantitative data. The study found out that Muslim employees have their rites choked out more than Christians under the yoke of corporate culture. This research also discovered that human capital flight occurs largely as a result of clashes with the organization’s dress code, when attributed to religious matters. The study as well discovered that females are robbed of their rites more than males. Centered on these discoveries, the study recommends that attempts should be made to reconcile an organization’s culture with the employees’ religious needs. A happy employee will obviously be able to contribute more to the achievement of the organization’s goal than an unhappy one bothered by religious infidelity.

    Gender Differentials in Criminal Behaviour in Nigeria
    (Pathways to African Feminism and Development, Journal of African Women's Studies Centre. University of Nairobi, 2016-09-28) Sulaiman Rasheed Lanre Abdul Rasheed; Raji Abdullateef; Olatunji A Ganiyu; Abdulbaqi Saliu Zakariyah
    The relationship between gender and crime is intense and persistent. Both women and men commit and are victims of crime, but their perspectives, understanding, and interpretation of the crime are likely to be different. While attempts have been made to explain the causes and horrible implications of crime in Nigerian society, not much has been done in terms of research to link gender with commission of crime. Thus, this paper examines the relationship between gender and crime in Nigeria. The paper enunciates the reasons for gender differential in crime and also uses the containment theory and the opportunity theory of female criminality to explain these differences. The Nigerian Prisons Service Statistics on all inmates across all the prisons in Nigeria was considered. Using the available data, the paper contends that women’s crime rates are far lower than men’s crime rates. The paper concludes with suggestions on how to reduce the crime rate of men, by them being closely supervised and discouraged from misbehaviour. Men should also be socialized heavily towards greater empathy.

    (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.

    Nigeria as a nation has been battling with the prevalence of HIV/AIDS to the extent that the disease is alarmingly threatening the social and economic spheres. This article, therefore, examined as the main objective the subtle link that exists between cultural practices and beliefs and the high prevalence rate of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria. Specifically, it investigates the cultural practices that influence risky sexual behaviour and how cultural values of the people can be conceptualised into Sexually Transmitted communication Infections (STIs) preventive campaign in Nigeria. Stratified sampling technique was adopted for the study. Data were gathered through an in-depth interview among young students of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic and were content analysed accordingly. Findings of the study showed that despite modernization, virginity is a value that gives a woman a lot of respect among her family members, peers, in-laws and husband. Similarly, the fear of tarnishing the family's name propels some of these young people from involving in risky sexual behaviour that can lead to unwanted pregnancy. Furthermore, the study revealed that polygyny was seen as a symbol of wealth Gild prosperity among the study population. The data equally revealed that, the cultural practices in Nigeria are at the heart of promoting, sustaining and fanning the spread of HIV IAIDS because it does not address extra-marital activities of men in the society.' The study, therefore, concluded that the non-centrality of culture in HIV/AIDS preventive campaign is one of the major reasons why very little success has been recorded in the area of behaviour change. The HIV/AIDS preventive communication campaign should not fight against the culture of the people because it might alienate the people whose cooperation is necessary if the prevalence of HIV/AIDS must he curbed.

    Local government is seen as the third level of government by the local government reform' of 1976 in Nigeria, also backed by the 1999 constitution as amended It was given the power to act on its own and at its own discretion with minimal control from the state government. It was also saddled with the responsibility of developing the areas that are close to it. However, it has met with various problems and challenges that have hindered its effective performance. These challenges have been attributed to the overriding function of the state governments, lack of autonomy, corruption and embezzlement among others. It is based on this that the study set out the objectives which include examining whether local government autonomy can lead to rural development; and knowing whether people's full participation in the democratic process of choosing their local government leaders will lead to rural development. The study then achieved these objectives by using a two-stage sampling method to select 200 respondents from Ifelodun local government of Kwara state; Nigeria. Conclusion was made from the findings based on the results derived from the chi-square calculated with the aid of SPSS, that local governments have not been able to perform their functions adequately majorly due to lack of autonomy. The research work recommended based on these findings that local governments should be given full autonomy and adequately funded for them not to become puppets for state governments.

    (Jimma University, Ethiopia., 2016-12-29) Muhammed Abubakar Yinusa; Kehinde Kadijat; Oluyemi Adesoji; Raji Abdullateef; Mulikat Adisa
    In the fight against HIV/AIDS in Nigeria, the incorporation of marital values and practices tenet in the campaign programmes remain one of the major assets that has remained untapped. This study was conducted towards understanding the positive and negative marital values and practices in Nigeria and how they can improve HIV/AIDS preventive campaigns. In-depth interviews were conducted on married young people who reside in Abeokuta town in South West, Nigeria. The first and the second categories were HIV positive and HIV negative respectively. The findings show that there are some marital values and practices which promote risky sexual behaviour among men which leads to HIV/AIDS while some curtails sexual excesses particularly among females. Some of the female informants indicated that some marital values and practices were promoting social cohesion and unity while others were having negative influence on their physical and psychological health. Majority of the informants testified that cultural values and practices gave married men the permissiveness to involve in extra marital affairs. The consequences of the above scenario make more women to be vulnerable to HIV/AIDS than their male counterparts. These findings show that inculcating marital virtues into HIV/AIDS preventive communication campaigns would reduce the prevalence of HIV/AIDS among married couple. This study concludes that there is a need to specifically design marital sensitive HIV/AIDS preventive campaigns specifically for married individuals.

    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.
