Abstract

Objective: This study examines the effectiveness of Neighborhood Watch schemes as a strategy for combating crime in Port Harcourt Urban, Rivers State, Nigeria, with the aim of enhancing National security through community participation.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the quality of university education within the context of systemic corruption in Nigerian higher education institutions. Method: Using a conceptual and literature-based approach, the paper explores key themes including the definition of quality education, manifestations of corruption, and the typology of corrupt practices in Nigerian universities. It further analyzes challenges confronting the system such as inadequate funding, shortage of qualified personnel, poor infrastructure, and limited ICT resources. Results: The findings reveal that corruption—coupled with increasing demand for university education—significantly impairs institutional effectiveness, reduces academic standards, and undermines public trust. Key barriers to quality include insufficient financial support, weak quality assurance mechanisms, and politicization of university leadership. Novelty: This paper contributes to the discourse by linking systemic corruption directly to quality degradation in Nigerian universities and by offering actionable recommendations such as policy reform, depoliticization of leadership roles, improved funding, institutionalization of quality assurance practices, and strict sanctions against corrupt actors. These insights provide a roadmap for restoring integrity and enhancing educational outcomes in Nigeria’s higher education sector.

Abstract

Objective: This study investigates the underutilized yet significant role of women in peacemaking and security processes in Nigeria, focusing on their contributions as mediators, community leaders, and peacebuilders in conflict resolution and national development. Method: Utilizing J. Ann Tickner’s feminist security theory as the theoretical framework, the study adopts a qualitative approach through thematic content analysis of secondary sources, including published and unpublished academic literature. Results: Findings reveal that while women possess unique capabilities to address the social and economic dimensions of conflict, cultural, religious, and societal norms continue to marginalize them from formal decision-making in peace and security efforts. The research underscores the necessity of incorporating women into official peace negotiations and security frameworks to achieve more inclusive and sustainable conflict resolution outcomes. Novelty: This paper contributes original insight by contextualizing feminist security theory within the Nigerian peace-building landscape and highlighting the transformative potential of women's inclusion in national security strategies. It recommends institutional mechanisms and quota-based representation to ensure women's active participation in security and peacemaking processes at all governance levels.

Abstract

Objective: This study examines the social and cultural landscape of pre-Islamic Arab societies to uncover the mechanisms shaping social identities, cultural practices, and interethnic interactions, challenging conventional essentialist perspectives. Methods: Adopting a qualitative-interpretive approach with an interactive analysis framework by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, the research employs literature reviews, historical document analysis, and cultural narrative reconstruction. Methodological triangulation integrates anthropological, sociological, historical, and psychosocial perspectives to ensure reliability and depth. Results: The findings reveal that pre-Islamic Arab societies exhibited fluid social structures and dynamic identity construction. Ethnic categorization and interethnic interactions were dialectical processes, characterized by continuous negotiation and cultural hybridization. Knowledge systems transcended traditional boundaries, fostering intellectual networks and sustainable cultural adaptation in response to ecological challenges. Novelty: This research provides a nuanced understanding of identity formation as a dynamic construct and dismantles stereotypes about pre-Islamic Arab societies. It highlights the sophistication of their social mechanisms, cultural resilience, and multicultural awareness. The study contributes to a broader academic discourse by presenting a multidimensional analysis that integrates ecological, intellectual, and social factors into the study of identity and cultural practices. These insights redefine the complexity of pre-Islamic Arab societies, offering a significant contribution to understanding multicultural processes and interethnic interactions in historical contexts.
