    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 of Sociology, Faculty of the Social Sciences, Ekiti State University., 2017) Raji Abdullateef; Joseph A Oluyemi; Raji Khalid Olatunji; Adeshina Ibrahim Olawale
    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.

    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.

    (Department of Sociology/Anthropology, Madonna University, Okija, 2018-04) Muhammed Abubakar Yinusa; Raji Abdullateef; Sulaiman Lanre Abdul-Rasheed; Raji Khalid Olatunji; Aliu Fatimah Omotayo
    Ingratiation represents a mundane behavior in business life. It takes place in both public and private sectors. With traditional researches on the subject of influence within organizations often directed on that of management on the subordinates, it is therefore relevant to go in a different direction by examining the perceived influence of subordinates on the management in organizations. It becomes relevant to explore how ingratiation has led to reduced meritocracy. It is in line with this that this study sought to find out the basis on which ingratiation occurs most in organizations. The study was carried out via the lens of the social exchange theory. The data used in this study were obtained from 250 respondents selected with the use of multistage sampling technique. The collected data were analyzed with the use of the Pearson correlation method. The study revealed a strong relationship between the factors of religion, ethnicity, gender and ingratiation leading to low organizational performance. Based on this, the study recommends that organizations should employ the principle of meritocracy in a stringent manner in all issues relating to organizational behavior.
