Abstract

Urbanization has accelerated rapidly over the past few decades in all divisional cities of Bangladesh. This paper closely examines the nature and extent of urbanization in Bangladesh, particularly in Dhaka and Chittagong the two mega cities of the country. It provides a historical analysis of migration patterns, changes in population structure, and the pressure on infrastructure, health facilities, education, electricity supply, safe drinking water in urban centres, with a special focus on the expanding slum sector. Qualitative data analysis on the scale of migration is used to model the stakes in social systems and urban architecture. A primary analysis of infrastructure deficits in transportation, housing, and public services assesses the system’s limited capacity to meet current urban demands. To gauge the depth of urban discontent, sanitation, lighting, and access to food, water, and clothing in slum areas are also examined. Inspired by Ananya Roy’s work, the study uses subaltern urbanism to highlight informal settlements not as urban failures rather as an alternative urban development through innovation, resistance and alternative forms of urban modernity. Finally, policy debates and urban planning prescriptions are presented to address these challenges, aiming to enhance Bangladesh's future urban development by reducing vulnerability and promoting inclusive growth. This paper contributes to the literature on sustainable urban development in rapidly developing regions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how accounting principles can be applied in household financial management by farming families. The study was conducted in Bayalangu Lor Village, Gegesik District, Cirebon Regency, known to have the highest number of farmers in the area. The research used a descriptive qualitative approach through interviews, observations, and documentation with farming families. The results show that most farmers do not yet use a simple accounting system in managing their household finances, although they acknowledge the importance of recording expenditures and income. The application of simple accounting is believed to help farmers plan budgets, manage debts, and achieve long-term economic stability.

Abstract

The relationship between media and terrorism has long been debated, with scholars emphasising that while the media provides essential information about terrorist activities, it simultaneously offers publicity that sustains terror networks. This study interrogates the role of Nigerian news coverage in shaping public understanding of the Boko Haram insurgency. Drawing on agenda-setting theory, the paper examines how the media have represented Boko Haram’s activities, motivations, and impacts on society. It investigates whether such portrayals contribute to public fear, legitimize government counter-terrorism measures, or inadvertently amplify the insurgents’ propaganda. Using the secondary data from the existing literature, the study highlights the complexities of reporting terrorism in a conflict-ridden environment. The findings reveal patterns of sensationalism, the dominance of government perspectives, and limited contextualization of the socio-economic drivers of terrorism. This study has demonstrated that the relationship between media and terrorism, particularly in the Nigerian context, is both complex and consequential. News coverage of the Boko Haram insurgency reveals not only the challenges of reporting in a volatile security environment but also the power of the media in framing public perceptions of terrorism. The paper concludes that by fostering a more responsible media practice, the Nigerian press can play a transformative role in countering extremist ideologies, promoting national cohesion, and contributing to long-term peacebuilding efforts in regions affected by terrorism.

Abstract

The memories of Han Tzu have left them in awe-inspiring stories to follow. The practicality and spirituality growth among the Feng Shui ancestral sites to visit them back into a deep space.

The shrine has now been used in words to spread the Feng Shui spirit into their holy land. The secrecy holds other unfolded stories to be inspired among the local celebrities. As the tyrants and other hierarchical officials turn over for their roles and responsibilities in a heavy-duty role. The UNESCO of heritage has now named China one of the tourist attractions in the land called Mushu for the heavenly spirits to divine in such a way that existentialism has another way of naming the cosmo display. The intergalactic for the approach to be on land and not into a deeper space where living things are still trying to find the latest answer of prediction in the gain.

Abstract

This conceptual paper examines how Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration influences the operational, audience, and economic performance of broadcasting organizations in Nigeria. Drawing on recent scholarly and industry insights, the paper explores AI-driven tools such as automated editing, audience analytics, and content personalization. Findings suggest that while AI enhances productivity and viewer engagement, adoption remains constrained by financial limitations, return on investment uncertainties, infrastructural deficits, skills gaps, and ethical concerns. The study concludes that sustainable integration requires investment in capacity building, localized AI development, and robust digital policies.

Abstract

This paper examines development communication within the context of globalisation, focusing on how global economic, technological, and cultural flows have reshaped communication strategies for social change. It interrogates the shifting paradigms of development communication from linear, top-down information dissemination models to more participatory, dialogic, and rights-based approaches that emphasise inclusion, local agency, and sustainability. Based on the qualitative review of scholarly literature, policy documents, and selected development interventions, the paper assesses the influence of globalisation on communication practices, particularly the role of digital media, transnational actors, and global development agendas. The paper argues that development communication is no doubt an important area of both academic and professional endeavour where several approaches can be harnessed to ensure development. While globalisation is a vital concept that has impacted both positively and negatively in various parts of the world, the role of communication in the globalisation process is enormous. This paper dissects the relationship between communication, globalisation, and development by analysing the roles played by each in the actualisation of the other. Globalisation was also dissected as a concept taking into cognizance its double-edged nature and divergent ideas of various scholars about the concept. The paper then related the concepts of communication, development and globalisation, especially in a practical context and further explained how development communication operates in a globalised context. It concludes that development outcomes are more sustainable when communication processes are people-centered and when global development narratives are adapted to local socio-cultural and political contexts.

Abstract

This paper examines the dynamics of population policy and its implications for national development in Nigeria from a communication perspective. Nigeria’s rapid population growth, youthful demographic structure, and persistent socio-economic challenges have made population policy a critical development concern. The paper discusses how communication processes shape the formulation, interpretation, and implementation of population policies, as well as public understanding and acceptance of policy objectives such as fertility regulation, reproductive health, family planning, and sustainable development. Drawing on policy documents, existing literature, and communication-for-development frameworks, the paper analyses the roles of government agencies, the media, civil society organisations, religious and traditional institutions, and development partners in population policy discourse. The paper argues that the technocrat elite accepted the policy largely on its own merits, national leaders negotiated the policy by it facilitated state-society relations, deflected blame for economic woes, and representatives of social and religious groups rejected the policy. Many wonder why Nigeria, a country in which population was highly politicized, adopted a policy aiming to limit fertility. Further, some groups tend to see prestige and strength in large numbers and suspect that western warnings about high growth rates are an imperialist conspiracy to keep them undeveloped. The paper points that population policy success in Nigeria is not only a matter of demographic targets but also of effective, culturally sensitive, and inclusive communication strategies that align population goals with citizens’ lived realities. It concludes that strengthening evidence-based communication, media advocacy, and stakeholder collaboration is essential for aligning population policy with sustainable development objectives in Nigeria.

Abstract

This research explores greed and selfishness in Nollywood movie, Soole by Adunni Ade, with a focus on how Nigeria's economic and social developments have not diminished the deep-rooted presence of both greed and selfishness leading to corruption. The research investigates how these vices, are reflected through the characters and narrative structure of the film. Set primarily on a public bus journey, Soole presents a microcosm of Nigerian life, exposing the moral decay and self-centered behaviours that arrive in moments of desperation and opportunity. Using a qualitative research design, the study employs thematic analysis to examine scenes, dialogues, and character interactions in order to identify recurring patterns of greed and selfishness. The film is analyzed both as a cultural artifact and a moral commentary that mirrors Nigeria’s socio-political realities, including corruption, inequality and ethical decline. The findings reveal that Soole serves not only as entertainment but also as a powerful tool for social reflection and ethical discourse. By portraying the consequences of selfish behaviour, from betrayal to tragedy, the film encourages viewers to reassess personal and societal values. This research contributes to the broader academic conversation on Nollywood’s role in shaping public consciousness and promoting moral accountability through storytelling.

Abstract

This study assessed the impact of chatbot-powered applications on doctor–patient communication at Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu Teaching Hospital. The research explored the extent of app usage, its effectiveness in enhancing clarity, feedback, and timeliness, the challenges faced by doctors and patients, and the overall effect on communication quality. A sample size of 283 was determined using Taro Yamane’s formula from a total population of 958 (comprising doctors and patients), with 270 valid responses retrieved through online questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple percentages. Findings revealed that most respondents were aware of the chatbot app and acknowledged its contribution to improving communication. The app was reported to enhance clarity, timeliness, and the provision of accurate medical information. Respondents also noted that it made understanding medical instructions easier and fostered trust between doctors and patients. However, challenges such as technical issues, limited handling of complex queries, and concerns about privacy and data security were highlighted. Despite these, the app’s overall impact on doctor–patient communication was largely positive. The study recommends continuous improvement of the chatbot app by integrating advanced features, ensuring stronger privacy safeguards, and enhancing technical support. For doctors, training on effective use of the app is advised, while patients should be sensitized to increase adoption. Policymakers are encouraged to support the integration of artificial intelligence in healthcare to strengthen communication systems in hospitals. The study concludes that chatbot-powered apps can play a vital role in transforming healthcare communication when properly optimized.
