Abstract

This study examined the United Nations and the Russia-Ukraine conflict with special focus on the mediation role of the United Nations in the face of the conflict. It painstakingly analyzed the root causes of the Russia-Ukraine Conflict from State, Regional and Global perspectives. The study adopted the historical research design which accounted for the qualitative nature of the data analysis. It also adopted the conflict theoretical framework in analyzing the variables of the study. The study found out that the realpolitik of the 5 permanent (P5) members of the Security Council has rendered the United Nations impotent in resolving conflicts. Amongst others, the study recommends that effort should be made by the United Nations to check the overbearing Cold War mentality between Russia and America. It further recommends that the UN should step down its mediation role and allow other critical actors with relatively neutral posture such as China, Turkey, India, South Africa etc to mediate with a view to achieving rapprochement between Russia and Ukraine.

Abstract

This study examined the effects of irregular migration on the well-being of the migrant households in Delta and Edo States, Nigeria. A cross-sectional research design and purposive sampling technique were adopted.  Questionnaire was employed as the research instrument for this study with 716 respondents deemed usable. The theoretical and analytical framework that directs this study combines the New Economics of Labour Migration theory with the neo-classical theory, making evident their shared premise that irregular migration can be seen as a household-calculated strategy to maintain rural well-being. With the use of the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 23, the acquired data were examined using percentages, means, standard deviations, Pearson's coefficient of correlation, and linear regression analysis. The well-being of migrant households in the Delta and Edo States is positively and considerably influenced by irregular movement, according to the study. The study also showed that irregular migration improves welfare and means of subsistence, increases financial remittances, lowers family poverty, and promotes the construction of infrastructure in the home areas of migrants in the Delta and Edo States. The study came to the conclusion that, for all people, including those in the Delta and Edo States, irregular migration is an unavoidable human phenomenon in the modern day. To ensure that migrants understand the ramifications of irregular migration and the value of regular migration to the state and communities, not simply their family members, the government should actively engage migrants and maintain contact with them, rather than actively discouraging migration. The study concluded that many of the properties constructed in the neighbourhoods are owned or occupied by the immigrants and their families; it is undeniable that irregular migration has had an impact on numerous communities in the Delta and Edo States. Based on the study's findings and conclusions, the study made several recommendations, including that the governments of Delta and Edo State should appoint honourable people, notable figures, and bright academics to develop and carry out policies aimed at promoting migrants' interest in the establishment of infrastructure, including healthcare facilities, educational institutions, transportation, renewable energy, solar power, and modular refineries. In the foreseeable future, this will significantly lessen irregular migration in the Delta and Edo States.

Abstract

Migration has changed over time in reaction to happenings and events around the world. The present surge in irregular migration was spurred by the absence of equitable social, political, and economic possibilities in many nations across the world. People are encouraged to go for better possibilities in other regions due to the unequal chances. This study therefore addressed the causes and trends of irregular migration in Nigeria with an emphasis on the push and pull variables that contribute to Nigerians' Japa syndrome. The collected data was analysed using the trend analysis approach, and the study employed a historical research design. This study concluded that migration is a means of pursuing greater possibilities abroad due to a chronic lack of work opportunities, income prospects, profitable employment, safety, and security, among other things. Fundamentally, economic opportunism that is, the enhancement of one's standard of living, the welfare of one's family, and other aspects that may guarantee the significance and relevance of the individual and their household contextualizes irregular migration in Nigeria. Since 2019, there has been a noticeable increase in the rate of migration abroad. Many young, bright, active, and industrious youths have been pushed to leave the country by these conditions, and this has resulted in the "Japa Syndrome or Japa Wave" in Nigeria.

Abstract

This study examined at the United States -Iranian conflict and how it would affect Middle East security. This study used a historical research design, and the trend analysis technique was used to analyze the data. It was determined that the exploratory and qualitative trend analysis technique was appropriate for the type of study. This study was based on Zagare's (1996) deterrence theory, which was seen as a re-evaluation of the traditional balance of power theory. Findings showed that the core reasons for the dispute between the United States and Iran were the U.S. foreign policy, the failed extreme pressure strategy of the Biden and Trump administrations, state behaviour in the global order, innovation, domestic politics, and control and deterrence. The conflict between the United States and Iran has undermined regional security and peace. The main causes of the sanctions' futility against the Islamic Republic of Iran include Iran's economic diversification, its technological advancements, its nuclear program, its geopolitical location, people's support for the system as well as political engagement, the continued implementation of Iran's regional policies, political countermeasures, and other countries' lack of political support following Trump's decision to withdraw from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. The Middle East's security was viewed as being threatened by Iran's nuclear program by the United States, Israel, and other countries in the region. The study came to the conclusion that, despite the two states' numerous problems and obstacles impeding their attempts to normalize, opportunities and hopes have always existed. The study concluded that despite their ongoing hostility and tense relationship, both nations occasionally communicate because it is in their specific national security goals. Therefore, the study suggested, among other things, that in order to prevent the United States from isolating itself from significant actors in the Middle East, the country should work to restore relations with Iran and discover productive means of resolving disagreements, starting with a return to full adherence to the JCPOA for both parties.
