Abstract:

The main thrust of this paper is to critically examine the place of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the effective Teaching and Learning of History in the Nigerian institutions in the 21st century. It argues that the new Information and communication technologies of internet and multimedia which have led to positive impact in the field of education in most developed countries are still at infancy or not used at all in the classroom instruction in most developing countries (Nigeria inclusive). ICTs are potential powerful enabling tools for effective teaching and learning in educational institutions. Thus, the paper argues that the central role of ICT is to provide additional strategies that can be used to address major educational challenges being faced by teachers and students of History Nigerian educational institutions in the 21st century. The paper, therefore, concludes that the appropriate use of ICTs can positively influence and change traditional methods of teaching and learning of History in Nigerian educational institutions, thereby making the teaching and learning of History more concrete. The methodology adopted in this paper is qualitative and analytical utilizing materials from the primary and secondary sources

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper examines the development of product labels in Nigeria. It highlights the successes and developments so far. The paper critically examines the approach adopted by labels giver especially in relation to Nigerian culture and traditions. This is because product labels in this country are still mostly communicated in foreign languages and without a proper consideration of the exiting norms, culture and values regarding communication while implementing labels on products. The paper therefore recommends ways by which the regulatory agencies can further achieve their aims and objectives from African perspective.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Clean Nigeria Associates Limited (CNA) was established in 1981 by oil companies operating in Nigeria as a non-profit second tier oil spill response organization. The primary objective was to provide a pool resource of oil spill response equipment, fast and effective second tier oil spill response capabilities, and expertise to aid members of the association in combating oil spills as a back up to any such capability kept by individual members. CNA Oil Spill Response equipment and materials are currently stocked in Nigeria in two main bases (Onne and Warri) and two satellite bases (Kaduna and Eket) in Nigeria. The main bases became effectively active in 1985 when most of the equipments were purchased for CNA by Halliburton Nigeria Limited who was then the procurement and operating contractor. The CNA stockpiles seven general types of oil spill response equipment/materials as follows:1. Fast Response Vessels and Flat Bottom Boats2. Offshore and inland Containment Booms3. Skimmers and Pumps4. Dispersant Spraying System5. Sorbents6. Vehicles7. Communication Equipment Currently, CNA has three outsourced contracts - operations, warehousing and vehicle leasing. Also, upgrade activities are in progress to position CNA to play its role as enshrined in the newly established Nigerian National Oil Spill Contingency Plan. This paper describes the history, development, challenges and future of CNA the first oil spill co-operative in Africa and its role in the rapidly changing Nigerian energy scene. It will also examine the method in which it functions as well as oil spills to which it has responded.

Abstract:

AbstractThe constitutional changes that took place in Nigeria in the decade before independence granted significant authority to the colonial state's three regions. The 1954 constitution gave both the federal and regional governments the authority to legislate on broadcasting issues. In 1959, Western Region leader, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, established the Western Nigeria Television Service (WNTV), a service considered the ‘Gateway to Africa’. This article historicizes the processes and politics of the founding of this station, revealing metropolitan efforts to control the television service's direction in order for it to remain aligned with British cultural and imperial interests. It also shows the BBC's attempts to stall the successful launch of a service that it considered a competitor. The study argues that the broadcasting service's creation was an act of dissent against British colonial rule and its cultural imperialism and sheds light on how the Western Region's political elites embraced emerging public communication technologies to undermine colonialism.

Abstract:

In the post-World War II period, magical realism, as a distinctive mode of fiction, has offered cultural hybridity, transformation and intermingling, and has thus been a significant means of communication for the postcolonial world. It has enabled postcolonial authors to get the chance of observing the world from a different perspective and seeing the truth with a ‘third eye’. The Nigerian-British author Ben Okri’s The Famished Road, which was awarded the Booker Prize in 1991, is one of the postcolonial magical realist novels aiming at viewing the world with a third eye. In The Famished Road, Okri attempts to investigate sociopolitical and historical realities, to understand and solve the paradoxes and secrets of history in the language of magic and dreams. In the novel he connects politics directly with the concept of history; his conception of ‘inviolate’ African consciousness becomes the base for his representation of history. The aim of this study is to scrutinize the ways in which Okri encodes African consciousness versus Western epistemology and reevaluates history. The study tries to analyze how Okri redreams postcolonial potentials for his hometown, Nigeria, by extension for the whole African continent, through magical realism functioning as a third eye in The Famished Road.

Abstract:

This study addresses security issues in Nigeria through Arabic Language Education. Arabic Language is one out of the international languages, it is a member of the Semitic family of language and perhaps the only one among them that has gallantly stood the test of the time. It gains wide range of currency and leaves an indelible mark on the course of world history, culture and civilization. The language has played a significant role in security challenges. It has the ability to solve problems between groups of people by ensuring atmosphere for understanding and peaceful co-existence. The study was a descriptive survey type. The population consisted of all Nigerian military and paramilitary officers using stratified random sampling technique, 50 officers were selected from each of the Nigerian Army, Air force, Police, and Civil Defence corps in the North-east totaling 200. A questionnaire titled “Arabic Language Education and National Security Questionnaire” was designed for the data collection. Test re-test method was employed for the reliability with 0.76 coefficient. One research question and one hypothesis guided the study. Percentage was used to answer the research question and ANOVA was used to test the hypothesis at 0.05significance level. The findings reveal that there was a significant difference in the understanding of Arabic Language among Nigerian security officers. Significant difference was found in addressing insecurity through Arabic than in other languages. It was recommended among others that, the government should recognize Arabic Language as a medium of communication/instruction and of the equal rank with English language in Nigeria. The Language should be incorporated into in-house training for the security officers. Keywords: Nigeria, Security, Arabic Language, Role

Abstract:

AbstractThis brief paper examines, from the point of view of ethnography, how the African proverbs selected from the Niger Delta of Nigeria have been used in fostering intergenerational relationships discourse in a globalizing world. This discussion adopts the ethnographic approach in exploring the meaning and functions aims, structures and the delivery modes of African proverbs used in intergenerational relationships as our peoples struggle with the threat to the erosion of some of the major positive artefacts in our culture. It concludes by synthesizing contemporary challenges seemingly minimizing the overall use and impacts of African proverbs in intergenerational relationships, and suggesting the possible implications of the discussion for networking regionally and globally.

Abstract:

Radio, as a modern communication technology, has played a revolutionary role in propaganda wars. Governments and revolutionaries find it indispensable because of its advantage in disseminating messages quickly across national borders. The Biafran government saw the enormous propaganda potential of radio and tactically exploited it. Despite this strategic role, scholars have failed to represent Radio Biafra as an important arm of the Biafran struggle for self-determination. Using archival documents, newspaper articles, and oral interviews, this article explores the role of Radio Biafra in the Nigeria–Biafra War. It argues that Radio Biafra not only sustained the support and loyalty of Biafrans but also created a community spirit that bolstered Biafrans’ confidence in the war.

Abstract:

Digital media have developed to facilitate new forms of engagement with heritage and allow traditional life to showcase its past history, thus potentially broadening interest to a broader landscape of audience. The research responds to calls for a better understanding of cultural expression using digital media by exploring the affordances and utilization of digital forms on users. Also, it is essential to examine the magnitude of the associations. Accordingly, the research analyses the interaction between cultural expressions and digital media use. The aims of the investigation are informed by behavioural theories to add depth and texture. The methodological framework is framed by a survey questionnaire method. The sample size is drawn from undergraduate students at the University of Ilorin, Nigeria, using the simple random scheme. The study informs practice, enhances our understanding of digital media while improving user experiences and sheds new insights on self-preservation, values and co-producing heritage assets.

Abstract:

Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
In this study, rhetorical analysis through the framework of victimage ritual is employed to analyze four Boko Haram messages on You Tube, five e-mail messages sent to journalists from leaders of Boko Haram, and a BlogSpot web page devoted to Boko Haram. The aim of this analysis is to understand the persuasive devices by which Boko Haram leaders create, express, and sustain their jurisprudence on acts of violence. The goal of this study is to understand how leaders of Boko Haram construct and express the group’s values, sway belief, and justify violence. The findings show that Boko Haram desire to redeem non-Muslims from perdition, liberate Muslims from persecution, protect Islam from criticism, and revenge perceived acts of injustices against Muslims. The group has embarked on this aim by allotting blame, vilifying the enemy-Other, pressing for a holy war, encouraging martyrdom, and alluding to an apocalypse. Boko Haram’s audience is made to believe that Allah has assigned Boko Haram the task to liberate and restore an Islamic haven in Nigeria. Therefore, opposition from the Nigerian government or Western forces is constructed as actions of evil, thus killing members of the opposition becomes a celestial and noble cause. This juxtaposition serves to encourage the violent Jihad which leaders of Boko Haram claims Allah assigned them to lead in the first place. As a result of this cyclical communication, media houses, along the Nigerian government, Christians and Western ideals become the symbolic evil, against which Muslims, sympathizers and would-be-recruits must unite. By locking Islam against the Nigerian government, Western ideals and Christianity in a characteristically hostile manner, Boko Haram precludes any real solution other than an orchestrated Jihad-crusade-or-cleanse model in which a possible coexistence of Muslims and the enemy-Other are denied, and the threat posed by the enemy-Other is eliminated through conversion or destruction. As a result, this study proposes that Boko Haram Internet messages Boko Haram’s mission reveals a movement of separatism, conservatism, and fascism. A movement based on the claim that its activism will establish a state in accordance with the dictates of Allah.

Abstract:

This study explores Nigeria’s e-agriculture policies and those of other African governments. It also proposes what e-agricultural strategies these governments could adopt to enhance their agricultural output by examining the history of agriculture in Nigeria; the current status of Nigerian information and communication technologies and e-government policies with emphasis on agriculture. The analysis addresses the role of communications as instrument of national development. In view of the economic status of African countries, the study calls on Nigeria and other African governments to adopt a cautious approach as they embark on e-agriculture policies and acquisition of information and communication technologies to promote national development. The study calls on African governments to liberalize their agricultural policies, establish agricultural cooperatives, educate rural famers and offer telecommunication services in the rural areas if they hope to raise their agricultural productivity.

Abstract:

The Nigerian scam is widely regarded as a joke among digital natives. However, forms and variations of the Nigerian scam have been successful since the 16th century and continue to be so, even in the 21st century. The longevity of the scam hints at the exploitation of very basic human processes. Therefore, this chapter tries to analyze these processes from a psychological standpoint trying to derive principles for effective online communication. The different phases of the scam—from the creation of the target group until the final contact—are analyzed from psychology of persuasion as well as behavior economics standpoints—subsumed under the label of “nudging”—trying to identify the settings, scenarios, framings, and signals which make the scam one of the most successful scams in history. In the final section, it will be attempted to transfer the insights from the Nigerian scam to legit online marketing and corporate communication.
