Abstract

The adoption of automated income tax systems in Nigeria has ushered in a new era of efficiency and transparency, offering promising prospects for streamlined tax administration. However, the absence of comprehensive data protection legislation and potential cybersecurity threats pose significant challenges. The legal landscape surrounding data security and privacy in the context of automated tax systems necessitating an in-depth exploration of this study. This study aims to analyze the prospects and legal challenges associated with data security and privacy in the implementation of automated income tax systems in Nigeria. The study employs a multi-faceted methodology, combining a thorough review of existing literature and an analysis of relevant legal frameworks. Additionally, 303 questionnaires were distributed to respondents to ascertain insights concerning the prospect of automated income tax and cybersecurity measures in place concerning data security and privacy. The study found that there are several prospects associated with automated income tax systems, including increased efficiency, transparency, and enhanced revenue collection. However, legal challenges are identified, such as the lack of comprehensive data privacy legislation, cybersecurity threats, and control. The study therefore concludes that, while automated income tax systems offer significant benefits, addressing the legal challenges is paramount for their successful implementation. The study recommends the urgent enactment of comprehensive data protection legislation, the implementation of robust cybersecurity measures, and increased public awareness programs. Additionally, guidelines for international data transfer should be established to ensure the privacy and security of taxpayer information.

Abstract

The increase in domestic violence in Nigeria has become overwhelming. However, the death of Osinachi Nwachukwu (a popular gospel artist singer), which has been linked to domestic violence, prompted the discussion of domestic violence to be more pronounced. Although several laws and institutional bodies are set up to curtail the incidence of domestic violence, there seems to be an increase in the monster in Nigeria. In this regard, this study adopts a hybrid method of research to ascertain the causes of the current increase in domestic violence in Nigeria and proposes judicial separation as a panacea. In this regard, various literature and laws were analysed concerning the suitability of judicial separation as a panacea in curtailing domestic violence. Furthermore 350 questionnaire was distributed to respondents to ascertain the causes of the current increase in domestic violence and possible solution. The study, therefore, found that alcohol abuse, psychological disorder, economic hardship, and traditional belief are some of the causes of the current increase in domestic violence in Nigeria. The study also found that judicial separation could be a viable legal tool to curtail domestic violence, given that it preserves the status quo of the marriage. Therefore, the study concludes and recommends that victims of domestic violence should open up and embrace the concept of judicial separation.

Abstract

The Metaverse offered a novel and immersive platform where Nigerian users engaged with virtual environments that mirrored the physical world or even transcended its confines, similar to Singapore's adoption in its economy. This digital realm provided a unique opportunity for individuals and organizations to simulate and visualize the environmental consequences of human activities, thereby deepening awareness of ecological issues. Virtual reality simulations and immersive educational experiences empowered users to witness the ramifications of environmental degradation, motivating them to adopt eco-friendly practices in their daily lives. However, the realization of the Metaverse's potential for promoting environmental awareness and sustainable practices faced various legal challenges. This research employed a hybrid research approach, combining both doctrinal and non-doctrinal methods, to assess the prospects and legal issues surrounding the use of the Metaverse as a catalyst for environmental awareness and sustainability. A total of 304 questionnaires were distributed to Nigerian respondents, and data were analyzed using descriptive and analytical methods. The findings revealed that the burgeoning Metaverse had the potential to play a pivotal role in advancing environmental awareness and sustainable practices, contributing to the mitigation of climate change. Nonetheless, several challenges, such as data privacy, security issues, regulatory concerns related to the Metaverse, digital illiteracy, and insufficient funding for incorporating Metaverse technology, might hinder its effective utilization for promoting environmental awareness and sustainability. It was concluded that the Metaverse possessed transformative power to enhance environmental awareness and sustainable practices in Nigeria. Furthermore, drawing insights from Singapore's experiences in the Metaverse highlighted potential lessons and inspiration for Nigeria as it embarked on this journey of environmental awareness and sustainability through immersive digital experiences.

Abstract

The development of a nation relies on technological advancements and innovations. It is evident in the progress of countries such as the USA, China, and Russia, which are considered developed nations due to the contributions of their scientists and technicians. In contrast, Nigeria and many other African countries are categorized as developing nations primarily due to the slow pace of innovation. Despite this, the legal process of obtaining protection or a patent for inventions poses a significant challenge for scientists and technicians in Nigeria. In this regard, the study employs a hybrid research method to examine the issues and challenges related to the protection of inventions in Nigeria. A descriptive and analytical approach is used to analyze the data by distributing 253 questionnaires to respondents across various geopolitical zones in Nigeria. The findings reveal a limited number of scientists and technicians involved in technological innovation, and there are obstacles to obtaining patents or protection for inventions in Nigeria. These challenges often deter scientists and technicians from investing more effort in technological innovation. Therefore, it recommended and concluded that, for practical and improved technological innovation in Nigeria, the government should create an enabling environment and review the existing legal framework for obtaining patents over inventions.
