Effectiveness of Television in Reporting Banditry Attacks in Nigeria CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Of The Study Historically, there has been an increasing rate of banditry attacks by Fulani herders in farming regions, evolving from a community conflict into deadly paramilitary groups (Claire, 2021). Banditry, according to Adegoke (2019), has become an enticing source of income in Nigeria, where weak governance, unemployment, poverty, and inequality have left citizens with few choices for survival. Notably, manpower and resources are inadequately supplied in the Nigerian security sector, making it difficult to successfully tackle banditry. Additionally, unpoliced borders have helped the spread of small guns and light weaponry among bandit gangs (Kuna, 2016). The increase in banditry and attacks has had a negative impact on people's...

This is due to the fact that they do not possess the means of production. As a result, they fall short of their male counterparts. Women have always been on the receiving end of our cultural and religious practices, sex roles, and societal constructs, which have had a significant impact on them from their origin (Enemuo, 2001). According to Eboh (2002), one gender is consistently discriminated against as a result of social structure dysfunctions to the extent that disparities in access to societal social services, resources, property, and wealth are formed, resulting in gender stratification.

A Critical Examination of the Impact of Poverty on the Health and Development of Primary School Pupils

A Critical Examination of the Impact of Poverty on the Health and Development of Primary School Pupils CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Of The Study Poverty is often seen as a fundamental impediment to human growth, and children are a huge and vulnerable population in the world at large(Borgen, 2013). Poverty remains persistent in life, even in wealthy nations as claimed by Borgen(2013), and its impacts on children have long been a source of worry. Hence, there is need to protect children from abuse, exploitation, or a premature end to their childhood, since these are just a few of the numerous negative impacts of poverty on children as emphasized by Conger, Conger, & Elder(2007). Poverty is described in World Bank Report (2008) as an individual's or a group's inability to acquire a basic standard of life. Furthermore, the...

The Influence of Women’s Participation and Empowerment in Development Processes

The Influence of Women’s Participation and Empowerment in Development Processes CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY When Third World feminists coined the phrase "women's empowerment" in the 1970s, it was obviously intended to frame and simplify the struggle for social justice and women's equality through the change of economic, social, and political systems at the national and international levels (Cohen, 2002). While the origins of each woman's helplessness (or power) are numerous and varied, it may be instructive to examine what women share in this regard. According to Enemuo (2001), focusing on women's empowerment as a group demands an investigation of gender relations, or how power exchanges between the sexes are generated and sustained. Men have the most power in male dominated countries, such as Nigeria, over home...
