Traditional and religious beliefs are essential in mental health discourse and help-seeking behaviour. The study explored the impact of traditional and religious beliefs on mental illness and help-seeking behaviour, in Ife Central LGA. The Health Belief Model (HBM) was adopted as the theoretical framework for the study. The study used a phenomenology research design. Qualitative data was collected from 12 key informants who were purposely selected for the study. The data was analyzed while outlining the key point presented by the key informant. The study revealed that stigma and discrimination are often associated with mental illness and help-seeking behaviour in Ife Central LGA. Mental illness is widely stigmatized and misunderstood. The study also revealed that perceived causes of mental illness include drug abuse, possession by evil spirits, inherited through the family, and punishment from God. The study concluded that misconceptions about the causes of mental illness might consequently lead to misconceptions about treatment. Religious and traditional beliefs in supernatural causes and remedies of mental illnesses influence people’s knowledge and attitudes towards mental illness and help-seeking behaviour. The study recommends the decentralization of mental health care services from urban areas down to rural health centres where mental health services can be rendered with psychiatric services as well. There is a need for community education of the people on the causes of mental illness. It is due to ignorance that most people wrongly believe that mental illness must have some spiritual undertone.

Abstract

The removal of fuel subsidies led to a rise in the price of fuel. These rapid changes hurt the activities of many Nigerians as nearly all homes and businesses use subsidised petrol to power their generators due to the problems with the nation's electrical supply. This paper looks into the impact of fuel subsidy removal on trading/marketing activities in Takum LGA. The study used a descriptive, cross-sectional survey research design. A sample size of 400 respondents was selected from the total population of 211,700 using the Tare Yamane formula. Questionnaires were distributed to 400 respondents who were randomly selected across the wards in Takum LGA. Responses from the questionnaire were analysed using the descriptive statistics of frequency counts and percentages, and Pearson Correlation. The Pearson Correlation was used to test the stated hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance with the use of SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences). The study revealed that the removal of petroleum subsidies had its most severe impact on trading and marketing activities during May–August 2023, as businesses were unprepared for the sudden fuel price spike, leading to disrupted supply chains and reduced profits. Although the impact slightly moderated in September–December 2023, it persisted into January–March 2024, indicating prolonged economic stress. The study recommended that a targeted measure, like financial assistance for small firms, transportation subsidies for necessities, and infrastructure investments to stabilise supply chains, should be implemented with subsidy removal policies.
