Abstract

Existentialism is a philosophical movement that recognises the ineptitudes of life and attempts to solve them by encouraging a deep reflection upon human existence in order to create an authentic individual in a hollow and absurd life. Since the removal of fuel subsidies by President Bola Tinubu, Nigerians have experienced economic hardship due to the astronomical rise in goods and services. This paper examined the tales of economic hardship occasioned by the removal of fuel subsidies in Nigeria with a view to re-echoing Karl Jasper’s concept of “boundary situations." We derived data from both primary and secondary sources. These include books, journals, periodicals, and the Internet. The historical method presented a brief historical overview of subsidy removal in Nigeria. The expository method provided Karl Jaspers’ existential thoughts in detail, with a specific focus on his notion of boundary situations, while the analytical method established the relevance of Karl Jaspers’ thought to the current condition that fuel subsidy removal has brought on Nigerians. The study found that fuel subsidy removal freed up financial resources for other sectors of the economy. At the same time, it has increased inflation, insecurity, etc. Thus, the paper concluded that in the unique and historical experience of boundary situations, it is up to each individual to realise the proper moral attitudes or virtues to adopt, thereby ensuring individual authenticity. It is recommended that the government commit more funds to providing palliatives and make policies to boost economic growth and stability.

Abstract

The Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) is a unique international organisation, particularly in the dispute resolution spectrum. Its uniqueness stems from the mere fact that it is not a court in the true sense of the word. Interestingly, this unique international organisation has played a vital role in dispute resolution, particularly in international arbitration, and has not relented for over a hundred (100) years. Despite its role, it is regrettably unfortunate that the PCA remains an unsung hero. Adopting an expository method of research, this article gives us an insight into the role of the Permanent Court of Arbitration in the resolution of disputes.

Abstract

This article examines the moral dilemma of likely euthanasia practices in Urhoboland and uses the moral frameworks of prudential personalism, Ubuntuism, and the principles of nonmaleficence, beneficence, and autonomy to appraise the practices. The study employs historical and phenomenological approaches. It collected relevant data from community leaders, elders, and medical experts from five selected Urhobo kingdoms. The finding shows that euthanasia in all its forms is a practice that dehumanizes and destroys human dignity and does not promote African culture and humanism, even though some African communities still engage in euthanasia-like practices unknowingly. It also reveals that these behaviours are now declining considerably in most Urhobo and other African communities due to modernity, advanced healthcare systems, and sound religious teachings. It concludes that community and religious leaders should discourage fetish beliefs and traditions and promote the humanity of the vulnerable individuals in their communities.

Abstract

Music has a calming effect on the body; hence, it is relevant in coping with the anxiety of COVID-19. Against this background, this study investigated hip-hop music as a coping strategy during the coronavirus pandemic through a perceptual analysis. This study looked at how hip-hop music, when employed, was able to achieve the intended objectives of easing anxiety, stress, and apprehension during the COVID-19 era. This study utilised a phenomenological approach that identified the psychological benefits of music. Specifically, the study employed Nigerian hip-hop music produced by sixty-nine (69) respondents suffering from anxiety due to the coronavirus pandemic and the situation of the lockdown. The respondents were advised to listen to various Nigerian hip-hop songs by different artists and reflect on their emotional state. Findings revealed that music of this nature is capable of easing anxiety, stress, and apprehension when employed with close observation.

Abstract

This study presents a longitudinal historical analysis of the state creation exercises in Nigeria and their potential to stimulate socioeconomic development in the regions that benefit from such restructuring. Both the government and proponents of state creation in Nigeria view the process as a critical driver for advancing development in previously underdeveloped areas. The expectation is that state creation can promote balanced development, distributing socioeconomic amenities and opportunities more evenly across the new states, particularly benefiting the capital cities, urban towns, and eventually rural areas. However, evidence suggests that past state creation efforts have inadvertently fueled rural-urban migration, as development efforts have primarily focused on urban centers, leaving rural areas neglected and disadvantaged. This urban-centric development pattern has undermined the intended goal of fostering widespread socioeconomic growth. The prevailing belief that state creation serves as a catalyst for socioeconomic development has likely intensified the persistent and vigorous demands for new states across different regions of the country. This study critically examines these dynamics, exploring the implications of state creation on regional development and evaluating whether the anticipated benefits have been realized or if the process has merely perpetuated existing inequalities.

Abstract

This paper aims at examining the contradictions in Nigeria’s democratic system of government as they affect the nation’s political leadership. The paper exposes the concept of democracy and some of its core principles that distinguish it from other forms of government. It also confronts some of the devaluating anomalies in Nigeria’s practice of democracy and argues that Nigeria’s political leadership, which ought to be 'people-centric', will not have the desired demonstrative leadership when it is besieged by inequalities, abuse of the rule of law, intimidation, victimization, ethnocentrism, and other forms of violations that are contrary to what democracy stands for. The paper concludes that Nigeria’s political leadership will be successfully geared towards the realization of the common good when the democratic principles that Nigeria’s government falls short of, which also contradict her democratic preference, are checkmated and characteristically adhered to. The paper employs the methods of textual and contextual analysis. The procedure is essentially expository, critical, analytical, and speculative.

Abstract

This paper examines the concept of universal jurisdiction in combating international terrorism and the international obligations that arise from multilateral conventions, UN resolutions, and bilateral treaties. While doctrines like Aut Dedere Aut Judicare (prosecute or extradite) aim to ensure justice for crimes that transcend national borders, the implementation of these obligations often encounters legal and procedural hurdles within domestic legal frameworks. The paper provides empirical analyses of legal issues faced by law enforcement in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and the US, particularly in sharing intelligence and providing mutual legal assistance in investigations, arrests, extraditions, and prosecutions in terrorism-related cases. It explores how differences in national legal systems, political factors, and human rights concerns—such as the admissibility of torture-obtained evidence and state-induced entrapment—complicate international cooperation. By analyzing case studies like Adham Hassoun, Guantanamo Bay, and others, the paper uncovers the intricate balance between complying with international obligations and navigating domestic legal constraints. Recommendations are made to harmonize international norms and enhance cooperation while safeguarding human rights in the global fight against terrorism

Abstract

The study consciously examined the impact of digital education on the Nigerian economy from 1999 to 2022. It investigated how digital education has transformed the educational landscape, influenced economic growth, and affected the workforce. It was however, discovered that digital education has increased access to quality education, especially in rural areas. To that effect, it improved economic growth by enhancing human capital development and productivity. It has equally transformed the workforce, with increased demand for digital skills. It enabled innovation in the sector of education and provided the need to invest more in the digital infrastructure.  It further revealed that private-public partnership is required to promote both the digital education and economic growth and development in the country. Primary and secondary sources were relied on while its data were analyzed qualitatively, using content analysis and thematic approaches.

Abstract

This study examines Correlatives and Comparative Correlatives in Angika, with a focus on their syntactic and quantificational properties. Building on Cinque’s (2014) unified structure of relative clauses, I explore its applicability to correlatives in Angika and argue for the presence of a right-adjoined unpronounced Degree head in Comparative Correlatives, following Bhatt and Pancheva’s (2004) analysis of comparatives. Our analysis highlights a matching effect between the relativiser and the demonstrative in Comparative Correlatives, positing that these elements function as syntactic constituents with inherent quantificational features. While Comparative Correlatives share the macrostructure of Correlatives, as argued by den Dikken (2006), I propose a distinct syntactic structure to account for their differences. Additionally, we demonstrate that prior analyses of Comparative Correlatives have been tailored to specific languages and determiner functions, necessitating a broader approach to account for Angika's unique constructions. This work contributes to a deeper understanding of the syntactic and comparative mechanisms within the Indo-Aryan family, particularly in Angika, where correlativisation remains a dominant relativization strategy.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of taxpayers’ engagement with the e-filing tax system on the tax compliance burden, while also examining how tax education moderates this relationship. Drawing on survey data from 705 medium and large taxpayers in Tanzania, the study finds that both the use of the e-filing system and tax education significantly reduce the compliance burden. Moreover, tax education enhances the positive effects of e-filing system usage by empowering taxpayers with the necessary skills, further easing their compliance efforts. This research makes a valuable academic contribution by showing that sustained use of the e-filing system, combined with tax education, can reduce compliance burdens and improve taxpayer competence. Practically, the findings underscore the need for tax authorities to enhance the usability and service quality of e-filing systems and emphasize the importance of investing in tax education. These insights are essential for policymakers and tax authorities aiming to optimize the effectiveness of e-filing within a mandatory adoption context and to promote tax compliance through targeted educational initiatives.
