Abstract

Poverty today has become one of the biggest global challenges facing mankind. Global poverty statistics shows that the percentage of people living in extreme poverty has not declined especially in Third World countries. In Nigeria, recent data from the National Bureau of Statistics have shown that over 40%, which represents 82.9 million people lived below poverty line. Taraba state presently occupies 2nd position in poverty level among the 36 states of the federation with poverty prevalence put at 87.72%. Tricycle operations, otherwise known as Keke-NAPEP as an interventionist scheme, was introduced in 2012 to reduce incidence of poverty in the state, though initially tailored towards addressing rising insecurity but eventually metamorphosed into reduction in unemployment and poverty in the process. As it stands today, well over 13,000 registered tricycles are providing intra-city commercial operations in Jalingo metropolis. This study aims at interrogating the relationship between tricycle business operation and poverty alleviation in Taraba state. Has tricycle business operation caused a reduction in poverty among operators? What are the challenges faced by tricycle operators? The study adopted the Marxian Political Economy approach as a theoretical model. The study discovers that there’s a significant improvement in income generation by tricycle operators which consequently reduces poverty among them. Therefore, the study recommends that government should get directly involved in tricycle business by making provisions for more tricycles for operators at subsidized rates in order to strengthen and sustain its anti-poverty measures in the state.

Abstract

The intrusive impact of social media has revolutionised communication globally, thereby altering the status quo in virtually every aspect of life in the society. This is manifestly seen in the influence social media exerts on indigenous cultures in most especially developing countries like Nigeria. Jukun culture which is a rich traditional culture from Taraba State, Nigeria is not spared from this unfortunate reality. This study therefore, ascertains the implications of social media usage on Jukun culture from a multidisplinary point of view. Specifically, the study unravels the socio-cultural perspectives of social media usage on Aku-uka’s transitional rites; examines the perceptions of Jukun stakeholders on the implications of social media usage on Jukun traditional rites and proffers possible ways of integrating social media for promotion and transmission of Jukun culture. Anchored on cultural imperialism theory, the study adopts indepth interview to elicit relevant data from Jukun stakeholders on the implications of social media usage on Jukun culture. Among other things, the study found out that the use of social media breaches some aspects of Jukun culture and that certain foreign practices are also being introduced. The study recommends that indigenous pages and accounts should be created on different social media handles for the preservation and propagation of culture in its original form. Conclusively, social media usage has a double-edged impact on Jukun culture with the negative impact competing side-by-side with the positive impact.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between informal enterprises and rural poverty in Taraba State, Nigeria, within the context of widespread deprivation marked by hunger, malnutrition, inequality, and infrastructural deficits, particularly in rural communities. Guided by the rational choice paradigm, the research explores how informal sector activities can serve as a viable strategy for poverty alleviation. Data were collected from business premises in five areas of Jalingo metropolis: ATC, Mile 6, Mayo Dassa, Mayo Gwoi, and Magami, selected for their distinctive characteristics and concentration of informal economic activities. Statistical tables were used for data presentation, while a descriptive approach was employed for analysis. Findings reveal that informal enterprises, when encouraged and properly coordinated, can significantly contribute to reducing rural poverty. The study recommends that policymakers provide financial support, essential infrastructure, and an enabling environment for informal sector growth, as it holds substantial potential for minimizing poverty levels in rural communities.
