Abstract

This paper examines the cinematographic techniques and directorial authorship in contemporary Nollywood films, exploring how visual storytelling, lighting, camera work, and editing define the industry’s unique cinematic language. The study also evaluates the influence of individual directors in shaping the artistic and narrative structure of Nigerian films. The study investigates key trends, challenges, and the evolution of Nollywood’s cinematic identity in the global film landscape. The paper argues that Nollywood, Nigeria’s prolific film industry, has grown into one of the largest film-producing sectors in the world. Initially characterized by low-budget productions and direct-to-video releases, contemporary Nollywood has embraced high production values, sophisticated storytelling, and technical advancements. The paper points out that the concept of the Nollywood auteur is defined by the unique styles and recurring themes observed in the works of certain directors. Some Nollywood directors have developed a signature style, often seen in their recurrent themes, cinematographic choices, and narrative structures. Directors such as Kunle Afolayan, Perpetua Ogechi, Kemi Adetiba, and Niyi Akinmolayan are known for their distinctive storytelling and technical finesse. Despite advancements, Nollywood still faces challenges such as limited funding, infrastructural deficits, and constraints in distribution networks. However, the rise of streaming platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video provides new opportunities for global visibility and increased production standards. The paper concludes that the evolution of cinematographic techniques and the emergence of auteur directors have significantly shaped contemporary Nollywood films.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of budget efficiency policies on labor in the hospitality industry in West Java, focusing on employee reductions in hotels and restaurants. In 2025, the Indonesian government's budget cuts aimed at reducing the fiscal deficit severely impacted the hospitality sector, which relies on government-funded activities like seminars and official travel. Using interviews and secondary data, the study found a sharp decline in hotel occupancy rates, leading to financial difficulties and an estimated 40,000 layoffs. The findings highlight the need for policy adjustments, including financial support for businesses and targeted recovery plans for SMEs, to ensure long-term stability in the region’s hospitality industry.

Abstract

This publication exposes in a simple and relevant way the policies of the first three kings of the Davidic dynasty. These kings had different perspectives but were able to change the future of their nation in their respective ways. David used power in order to make his people free from the pagan nations; Solomon ruled wisely to enrich and place Israel in the same level of the great nations around them; and Rehoboam wished to have more power and authority than his ancestors and tried to find another policy to govern Israel. But in any case, their ways of governing marked the story of Israel. This research will help us to understand the reason for the success and defeat of these kings, so that we can learn from them for a better future.

Abstract

On the one hand, discipline is the main strength of the military. On the other hand, without discipline, there is total anarchy within the military compound. But on the other hand, without God, the army works in vain. A soldier is first of all a man or a woman, that is to say a human body, endowed with a body, a soul and a spirit. The three work in harmony. This is what differentiates man from animal and other creatures of God. These are the ideas on which this article is based. The army will always be close to God, even considered as the third institution of God. It’s been talked about a lot, and it’s written from beginning to end in the Bible. It even looks like it’s God’s temple. This article presents a Christian perspective of soldiers, preparing them for non-traditional ministry, training them to make the profession of faith. The key is to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to every uniformed man and woman in the military, and then spread the gospel through the military chaplaincy to the military families. The ministry among the military is biblical. Is this call to chaplaincy the biblical basis of military profession, in order to prepare soldiers spiritually?

Abstract

The openness or closeness of the universe has long been a topic of discussion in both scientific and religious circles. Scientific theories in cosmology and quantum mechanics suggest an evolving and possibly infinite universe, while religious perspectives offer varied interpretations, often emphasizing divine purpose, interconnectedness, and ultimate destiny. Understanding this debate is crucial in addressing global challenges and fostering a more unified perspective on existence. Purpose: This study aims to explore the implications of an open or closed universe through scientific and religious perspectives, identifying areas of convergence and divergence. It examines how these views shape human consciousness, governance, and ethical responsibility toward planetary and interstellar sustainability. A qualitative comparative analysis was conducted using literature reviews of scientific theories, theological texts, and historical perspectives. Key scientific frameworks included thermodynamics, quantum mechanics, and astrophysics, while religious interpretations were drawn from Christianity, Islam, and other spiritual traditions. Findings: The analysis revealed that an open-system perspective aligns with both scientific discoveries—such as cosmic expansion and interstellar material exchange—and religious teachings that emphasize universal interconnectedness. A closed-system perspective, while useful in deterministic models, may limit broader explorations of human potential, intergalactic cooperation, and ethical governance. Conclusions: By fusing scientific discoveries with spiritual consciousness, an open-system paradigm promotes a transition from conflict-driven government to collaborative global and interplanetary stewardship. Recommendations: Policymakers, educators, and religious leaders should foster interdisciplinary dialogue, promote ethical space exploration, and develop frameworks for sustainable planetary and cosmic engagement.

Abstract

The advertising and marketing sector keeps evolving with technology and this transformation poses a threat to traditional media platforms. Therefore, this study evaluates the shift from television advertising to influencer marketing in the Nigerian Public Relations Industry. This research is supported by the Media Ecology Theory. Media Ecology Theory explores how different forms of media shape communication and societal interactions, explaining how social media-driven influencer marketing is altering traditional advertising dynamics. Media Consumption Theory examines how audiences interact with media content, providing an inside look into the transition from television to digital platforms. A sample of 100 public relations professionals were administered questionnaires. The data collected were on the factors of shifting to influencer marketing, the effectiveness of influencer marketing strategy, prospects of influencer marketing, how the techniques of influencer marketing were influenced by digital interactions and social media platforms, and the long-term effects of this shift. The data obtained through questionnaires were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 29 to assess the factors of influencer marketing compared to television advertising and also, the perceived effectiveness of influencer marketing. The result indicates reaching a wider audience (30%), better targeting of niche demographics (28%), and more audience engagement (38%), are the factors driving the transition. The influencer marketing strategies with high positive deviations above the mean are brand visibility (3.38), and audience engagement (3.40). Conclusively, the benefits attached to influencer marketing are the factors that influence the shift. It is therefore recommended that the potential of influencer marketing be maximized to the fullest.

Abstract

Cholera remains a major public health concern in many developing regions, particularly in areas affected by conflict, displacement, and inadequate sanitation. Borno State, located in Northeastern Nigeria, has experienced recurrent cholera outbreaks due to a combination of factors, including poor access to clean water, overcrowded internally displaced persons (IDP) camps, and fragile healthcare infrastructure. Young adults (18-30 years) and children under 18 account for the majority of cases, with a slight predominance of females (53%) due to increased water-related activities. This study highlights key outbreak drivers, including contaminated water sources, lack of sanitation facilities, and low awareness of cholera prevention measures. Findings indicate that 48.7% of residents rely on untreated well water, 68.4% lack toilet access, and only 23.5% practice regular handwashing, contributing to recurrent outbreaks. In addition, limited vaccination coverage (22%) and knowledge gaps about cholera transmission and symptoms further increase vulnerability to annual cholera outbreaks. To mitigate future outbreaks, the study recommends improving water supply and treatment, enhancing sanitation infrastructure, and promoting hygiene education. Expanding cholera vaccination campaigns and strengthening community health education initiatives are also critical. Government agencies and public health stakeholders must prioritize these interventions to reduce cholera incidence and improve overall public health resilience in Jere LGA.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the economic impact of the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires through the lens of Islamic law, focusing on its application for disaster management, social justice, and supporting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 13 (Climate Action) and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth). Using Islamic legal principles such as maslahah (public interest), adl (justice), tawhid (unity), and takaful (mutual protection), the research explores their role in disaster recovery and economic redistribution. A qualitative approach is adopted, employing a case study of the 2025 wildfires, with an analysis of Islamic legal documents, expert interviews, and post-disaster policy reviews. The study finds that Islamic law offers practical instruments such as zakat (charity), qard al-hasan (interest-free loans), and takaful to aid recovery, while emphasizing collective responsibility in rebuilding after disasters. The research highlights how these Islamic principles can guide disaster recovery, promoting fair and sustainable practices in line with the SDGs. By integrating Islamic law into disaster management, the study offers unique solutions for equitable recovery efforts post-disaster. This research provides valuable insights into using Islamic law to create a more just and sustainable economic recovery framework in the face of natural disasters.
