Abstract

The aim of this study is to review the provisions of the freedom of information Act 2011, and investigate its usage among journalists in Katsina state. The study strives to find out whether journalists in Katsina state are aware of the Act, to assess provisions of the Act that give access to public information and find out whether journalists in Katsina state use the Act. In order to achieve these, the study used quantitative method whereby a survey was carried out using questionnaire as its tool of data gathering. The study was guided by the Social Responsibility theory as its theoretical framework. Findings indicate that the freedom of information Act contains more sections which deny access to public information than those that give access, and that journalists in Katsina State are aware of the Act. The study argues that ignorance on the part of some journalists and bureaucracy on the part of managers of public information are factors affecting the workability of the Act in Katsina State. The study recommends that all sections of the Act which deny access to information should be amended, stakeholders, governments at all levels, media owners and managers should organise workshops and seminars for journalists and the general public to enlighten them on the provisions of the Act and on how to use the Act. The media at all times should be allowed to publish or broadcast what it professionally deems fit for public consumption, without prior censorship. The Nigeria union of journalists and other media unions should make it mandatory that all registered journalists must buy a copy of the freedom of information Act. The study hopes to serve as a reference to all journalists in Katsina State in offering useful tips on the provisions and effective usage of the Act, and thus make little contribution to improving the practice of investigative journalism in Katsina State.

Abstract

Investigative journalism is a cornerstone of accountability, transparency, and democratic health, yet its practitioners often venture into perilous territories. In regions like the Niger Delta, known for its volatile mix of resource-driven conflicts, widespread environmental degradation, organised crime, corruption, and political instability, journalists face a particularly acute and complex web of threats. This paper sets out to explore the critical intersection of investigative journalism and risk management, with a keen focus on practical strategies for protecting journalists operating in such hostile environments as the Niger Delta. Specifically, it aims to: Examine the multifaceted risks of physical, digital, legal, and psychological confronting investigative journalists in high-risk zones, particularly within the Niger Delta; and identify and analyse both individual coping mechanisms and institutional support frameworks designed to mitigate these dangers in the context of the region's specific threats. Utilising philosophies from media safety studies, risk communication theories, and research on press freedom, this study offers a comprehensive framework for understanding how journalists perceive, communicate, and manage hazards. These theoretical frameworks elucidate the systemic challenges encountered by journalists and the strategic measures required to operate in contexts where the quest for truth frequently results in significant consequences, especially in the context of persistent environmental and political instability characteristic of the Niger Delta, This paper employs a comprehensive review of recent academic literature, empirical studies, and real-world case studies predominantly focused on investigative journalism in high-risk zones, with a particular emphasis on the African context, including the Niger Delta. This approach allows for the identification of recurring patterns of threats, effective mitigation strategies, and emerging best practices in journalist protection, while also considering the unique digital media ecosystem challenges faced by journalists in the region, The findings highlight that journalists in the Niger Delta and similar high-risk areas grapple with pervasive threats ranging from physical violence, arbitrary detention, and kidnapping to sophisticated digital surveillance and severe psychological stress. These threats are often exacerbated by the region’s specific challenges, including militancy, oil theft, and the activities of powerful economic and political actors. Effective protection strategies are found to be multifaceted, encompassing individual preparedness (e.g., advanced safety training, encrypted communication, meticulous source protection) and robust institutional support (e.g., strong press unions, clear organisational safety protocols, international solidarity, and legal aid).

Abstract

This study x-rays the perceived influence of social media content creation on unemployment in Lagos Island. The study was anchored on the Uses and Gratifications Theory and the Teno Proactive Communication Model for Job Creation in Nigeria. Survey research method was used and 400 respondents were purposively selected in Lagos Island. Data were presented in frequency and percentage counts, however, the hypotheses were tested using One Sample T-Test where the p-value was less than 0.05 level of significance. Findings from the study revealed that 87% of the residents of Lagos Island have access to smartphone which gave them opportunity to use various social media applications like Facebook, WhatsApp, XApp, Instagram and TikTok. Also, it was discovered that social media content creation has helped some youths to be self-independent, through content creation 92%. A well edified contents on social media serve as means of income when monetized 96% and it also helps in promoting one’s talents, giving room to partake in movie production. More so, the use of various social media applications like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok among others help youths to make income through marketing of other peoples’ products or brands 95%. The study however concluded that social media content creation is an employment mechanism among the youths in Lagos Island, making more than average number of the youths to seize the opportunity in self-employment. The study recommended that Content creators should ensure they post relevant and accurate information online to avoid misleading social media users

Abstract

This theological reflection embarks on a profound comparative exegesis, plumbing the depths of the female body's symbolic resonance within two disparate yet remarkably convergent sacred traditions: ancient Hebrew biblical anthropology and the Malagasy cosmovision. Employing a rigorous interdisciplinary methodology that weaves together exegesis, symbolic anthropology, linguistics, and contextual theology, this study illuminates how both traditions imbue the feminine form with rich layers of sacred, ontological, and relational meaning. Central to this exploration is the Hebrew term neqēvāh (נְקֵבָה), commonly rendered "woman." Far from a mere biological descriptor, neqēvāh is here unpacked as a potent theological metaphor — a signifier of ontological openness, spiritual receptivity, and sacred fecundity. This understanding is then brought into a generative dialogue with evocative Malagasy expressions such as mitondra rano ("water bearer"), trano zaza ("child’s house"), and tratra masoandro ("touched by the sun"). Strikingly, these seemingly disparate metaphors converge towards a unified theological apprehension of femininity not as a state of biological passivity, but as a dynamic, vivifying space of creation, transmission, and cosmic mediation. This inter-epistemic approach not only unveils the profound richness inherent in localized sacred traditions but also underscores the urgent theological imperative to revalorize the female figure within contemporary theological discourses. It invites us to perceive the feminine body as a locus of divine immanence and a conduit for cosmic flourishing.
