Abstract

Objective: Nigeria currently faces a profound crisis of identity and sustainable development, characterized by widespread inauthenticity across its societal and individual spheres. This is more glaring in the political economy of the nation in terms of her adaptation of foreign-related, non-viable development pathways and the increasing fleeing of her citizens, especially the youths, which is popularly referred to as the Japa syndrome. The deep philosophy of Martin Heidegger supplies a moving context for understanding this complex dilemma — particularly the notion of inauthentic existence (Das Man), in which individuals immerse themselves in the indistinct crowd, giving up their unique identity and their ability to act authentically and autonomously. To achieve this, our objectives are twofold: first, to thoroughly delineate Heidegger’s understanding of inauthenticity; and second, to critically analyze how Nigeria's unsustainable development patterns and the urgent "Japa syndrome" embody this Heideggerian mode of being. Method: This study adopts the textual-analytic approach blended with hermeneutic approach, philosophically and materially locating Martin Heidegger's idea of the inauthentic and examining where it may play itself out in our contemporary Nigerian scene. Results: The study unpacks the philosophical principles behind inauthenticity as it impacts the everyday life and experiences of Nigerians, revealing a cultural propensity to live by others' “shoulds” rather than a clear essence of what gives joy and peace. Nigeria’s unsustainable development pathways and the Japa syndrome emerge as manifestations of the Heideggerian concept of “Das Man.” Novelty: The originality of this study lies in applying Heidegger’s concept of inauthentic existence (Das Man) as a philosophical framework for interpreting Nigeria’s development crisis and the Japa phenomenon, offering a deeper existential reading of contemporary socio-political realities.

Abstract

Objective: The transition of former violent non-state actors from the creeks of the Niger Delta back into society remains one of the most volatile challenges in Nigeria’s post-amnesty landscape.  This paper examines at how important community acceptance is, and the significant role charities play in getting people back into society. Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR) programmes can be state run with a focus typically on training for work, but not on the social debt and trauma that engendered community opposition. Method: This research using qualitative analysis of host community perceptions demonstrates that reintegration is not a top-down bureaucratic event but a contentious bargain of trust, and the automatic nature of structural stigma is detrimental to social peace.  Results:  This paper delineates what it sees as a considerable “legitimacy gap” surrounding state interventions that philanthropic organizations are excellently placed to fill. Non-state actors facilitate restorative justice mechanisms that go beyond mere economic settlement. Findings reveal that philanthropic involvement is most effective when it shifts the focus from individual rehabilitation to communal healing, addressing the grievances of victims alongside the needs of former combatants.  Novelty: The paper maintains that, before uncertainty is transformed to sustainable peace, security forces must stop regarding armed youth as militants and embrace social acceptability with accountability and trust combined.

Abstract

Objective: This review article examines the development of audiovisual translation (AVT) with a particular focus on subtitling, revoicing, and accessibility-oriented practices. Drawing on international AVT scholarship and recent studies from the Uzbek context, the article maps key theoretical approaches, research trends, and methodological shifts in the field. Method: The review highlights subtitling as a dominant mode of screen translation, the persistence of culturally and economically conditioned revoicing practices, and the increasing importance of accessibility as a core paradigm in AVT research. Results: Special attention is given to linguistic, pragmatic, and linguocultural issues, as well as to corpus-based and pedagogical approaches. The article identifies existing gaps and future research directions, particularly in underrepresented languages and emerging audiovisual cultures. Novelty: The findings contribute to a more inclusive understanding of audiovisual translation as a multimodal and socially embedded form of mediated communication.

Abstract

Objective: Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) and perceived stress have emerged as key indicators of student mental health in highly digitalised higher-education environments, yet little is known about how these constructs vary across regions and institutions within Nigeria. This study examined regional variations in FOMO and perceived stress among undergraduates drawn from public and private universities across the South-East, South-West and North-Central geopolitical zones. Method: A cross-sectional survey was administered to 4,930 undergraduates using structured questionnaires incorporating standard FOMO and perceived stress scales, alongside basic socio-demographic items. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, cross-tabulations and one-way analysis of variance to compare FOMO across selected private universities. Results: FOMO was highly prevalent across all three zones: in each of the South-East and South-West, 89.3 % of students were classified as having FOMO, rising to 97.1 % in the North-Central zone. Perceived stress scores indicated a substantial stress burden across the sample, with most students reporting at least some level of stress. FOMO differed significantly across three private universities, with the South-East institution showing higher mean FOMO scores than the two South-West institutions. Both FOMO and perceived stress were widely distributed across socio-demographic subgroups, with concentrations among traditional-age undergraduates and a larger proportion of female respondents, but no strong demographic segmentation. Novelty: The findings indicate that FOMO and perceived stress are pervasive among Nigerian undergraduates and that regional and institutional contexts contribute to meaningful variation, particularly in FOMO. These results underscore the need for regionally sensitive and campus-specific interventions that address digital pressures and structural stressors simultaneously within Nigerian higher education.

Abstract

Objective: This study investigated the impact of using the voice conversation feature in ChatGPT on speaking skills and speaking anxiety among Iraqi university students. Method: A quasi-experimental design was employed with 70 second-stage students from the Department of English, Faculty of Education, University of Kufa. Participants were assigned into experimental (n=35) and control (n=35) groups. The experimental group practiced speaking with ChatGPT's voice feature for six weeks (15 minutes in class and 15 minutes daily at home), while the control group received no treatment. Data were collected using a speaking skills test and a speaking anxiety scale adapted from Horwitz et al. (1986). Results: Results of independent samples t-tests revealed that the experimental group significantly outperformed the control group in speaking skills (t=10.847, p<0.001, d=2.59) and showed significantly lower speaking anxiety (t=-11.034, p<0.001, d=-2.64). Paired samples t-tests showed significant pre-post improvements in the experimental group for speaking skills (mean difference=+20.5, t=15.342, p<0.001) and anxiety reduction (mean difference=-24.3, t=-14.876, p<0.001), while the control group showed no significant changes. Novelty: These findings demonstrate that ChatGPT's voice conversation feature is an effective tool for improving speaking skills and reducing speaking anxiety among Iraqi university students. The study provides practical implications for integrating AI tools into English language instruction in Iraqi higher education.

Abstract

Objective : This study investigates personality traits as predictors of marital instability among married persons in Bayelsa Central Senatorial District, Bayelsa State Nigeria. Method : Correlational research design was used for the study. Five research questions and five null, hypotheses guided the study. The population of the study comprised all the married persons in Bayelsa Central Senatorial District, Bayelsa State, totaling 10,128. Fluid survey online calculator was used to determine sample size of 342 married persons for the study. Multi-stage sampling procedures were used for the study. Self-constructed instruments titled ‘Personality Traits, Marital Instability Scale’ (PTMIS) was used to collect data. The PT and MI Subscales were validated by research experts. The reliability of the instruments were determined through test re-test method that yielded indices of; conscientiousness 0.87, extroversion 0.82, openness to experience 0.85, neuroticism 0.81, agreeableness respectively. The researcher personally administered the instrument to the respondents with the help of research assistants in their various churches. Simple regression analysis was used to answer the five research questions and also tested the five corresponding null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance using SPSS version 25. Results : The results revealed that; extroversion, openness to experience, neuroticism does significantly predict marital instability among married persons in Bayelsa central senatorial district, Bayelsa State, while conscientiousness, and agreeableness does not significantly predict marital instability among married persons in Bayelsa central senatorial district, Bayelsa State. Novelty : Based on the findings, the researcher recommends that counseling services should be tailored to address the impact of openness to experience, and neuroticism on marital relationships. Couples with higher levels of these traits could benefit from conflict resolution training and emotional regulation techniques to mitigate marital instability.
