Abstract

Despite the increasing prevalence and significant impact of male rape on the lives of many men in Nigeria, the issue has received limited attention. This study employs a hybrid research methodology to investigate the occurrences of male rape and the challenges in addressing its incidence in Nigeria. A total of 303 questionnaires were distributed to respondents, and the data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical methods. The findings reveal that male rape is indeed a widespread issue in Nigeria, and the existing legal framework is insufficient to effectively address this problem. Additionally, the study highlights that various legal, social, and psychological factors hinder efforts to reduce male rape in the country. The study concludes by emphasizing that rape is not a crime that exclusively affects women, but also constitutes a violent act against men. Therefore, the Nigerian government and stakeholders within the criminal justice system must take urgent steps, through legal reforms and justice mechanisms, to combat the silent but growing crisis of male rape in Nigerian society.

Abstract

The global surge in digital technology has revolutionized various sectors, including Islamic banking. While Indonesia has successfully incorporated digital automation into its Islamic banking system, Uganda's nascent Islamic banking system faces opportunities and challenges in adopting similar technologies. This study uses a hybrid research method with a conceptual approach to explore the prospects and challenges in automating Uganda's Islamic banking system by learning from Indonesia's progress. A total of 306 questionnaires were distributed to Ugandan respondents, and the data were analyzed descriptively and analytically. The findings show that automation has significantly improved the Islamic banking system in Indonesia, a model that Uganda can emulate. However, implementation in Uganda faces legal and socio-economic barriers that may affect its feasibility. This study recommends revising Uganda's legal framework to support and regulate a digitalized Islamic banking system while addressing socio-economic challenges. Ultimately, the study underscores that with the right reforms, automation can improve Uganda's Islamic banking landscape.

Abstract

The Metaverse concept is regarded as a virtual reality where the lines between imagination and reality interact and blend with ease. However, the Metaverse concept tends to seem promising not just a digital revolution but an entire universe of immersive encounters. However, despite the relevance and potential, there are challenges and potential conflicts arising from integrating Metaverse technologies with the traditional legal frameworks governing intellectual property in Nigeria. Concerning this, the study examines the rising prominence of the Metaverse and the need for a comprehensive examination of its potential on intellectual property rights in Nigerian legal framework. The study adopts a hybrid method of study, and 348 questionnaires were sent to respondents residing in Nigeria. The results generated were analyzed using a descriptive and analytical method. Findings reveal the complicated connection between Metaverse technologies and established intellectual property norms. The study also elucidates other challenges, such as virtual property rights and the replication of real-world intellectual property in virtual environments, emphasizing the necessity for adaptive legal frameworks in Nigeria. The study therefore concludes and recommends there is a need for adaptive legal frameworks and formulation of specialized regulations for intellectual property within the Metaverse, and proactive measures to anticipate and address emerging challenges.
