Human Factors and Cultism Control in Social Media for Higher Education
(Handbook of Research on the Role of Human Factors in IT Project Management, 2020) Azeta Ambrose Agbon; Ativie Raymond; Misra Sanjay; Azeta Angela E.; Chidozie Felix C.; Amosu Olufunmilola
The social media network is one of the trending platforms engaged for communication by students. Regrettably, this
system has been used by persons to plan and commit cyber fraud and public vices. Some of the tertiary institutions
including secondary and university in Nigeria have been turned to cultist environments resulting in killings and
disorder amongst students in the school and environs. This is a situation that has continued to struggle with solutions
in most higher institutions in the country, particularly in the government owned institutions. This obviously is a human
factor issue that needs to be addressed. The objective of this study is to provide social media-based system that is
integrated with anti-cultism component services towards combating cultism on campus. The platform will support
interaction and learning on and off campus while at the same time helping to curtail cultism among students through
filtering of keywords communicated on social media that are crime-based or cultism-related. In carrying out this study,
appropriate research methods and implementation techniques such as modeling, design, server-side programming,
database were deployed. The platform provides a dual platform that will enable active students to participate in
learning, and also cultism control in the school system.
General Effects of International Migration on Citizens of Edo State, Nigeria
(African Renaissance Vol. 21, No. 2, 2024-06) Braimah Ehiagwina Sunday; Gberevbie Daniel Eseme; Chidozie Felix C.
This paper focuses on the effects of international migration on the citizens of Edo State, Nigeria,
using the Bini people as its primary focus. The study examined the effect of trans-mobility on the
household welfare and living standards of Bini people. It looks at the benefits or otherwise of
migration for the people left at home. The results of this study were obtained by using a
qualitative research approach. The qualitative approach is based on focus group discussions in
the seven local government areas where the Binis are the majority; and the descriptive
examination of documents that contain crucial information about the study. It therefore applied
secondary sources of data collection. These sources include academic journals, books, research
papers, and reputable online resources. The findings show that there is a continuous
improvement in the household welfare and living standards of remittance-receiving households.
There is also a glaring improvement in asset acquisitions such as plots of land, motor vehicles
and houses. The quality of food and clothing improved too. Considering the household welfare
and living standard improvement that international remittances have, the study concluded that
they have been of immense benefit to the Bini people of Edo State in particular and the people of
Edo State in general.
Cultural pluralism and democratic survival in Nigeria
(African Identities Volume 22, 2024 - Issue 3, 2024-05-13) Chidozie Felix C.; Orji Mary-Cynthia
This paper explores the cultural imperatives to determining democratic survival in
Nigeria. It observes that the general notion that cultural inequality may systematically
obstruct democratic participation by the members of subordinated groups is trite. It
argues rather that the current crisis faced by democracy is linked essentially to the lack
of a space capable of dealing with both social complexity and cultural pluralism. The
paper is a desk study borrowing heavily from secondary sources of data and review of
extant literature. While not pretending about the potential for ethno-cultural and religious
violence imminent in Nigeria’s attempt at democratic consolidation, findings, however
suggest that in a multicultural society like Nigeria, democracy has the potential to
flourish if the different cultural groups understand and tolerate one another by enlarging
the space for public participation and debates naturally encapsulated in the principle of
popular rule. It recommends that a practical engagement with federal democracy,
rooted in the principle of federalism, remains an attractive model for the survival of
Nigeria.
Appraisement of glocalisation in the context of Nigeria’s foreign policy: A concentric approach
(Cogent Arts & Humanities Volume 11, 2024 - Issue 1, 2024) Folorunso Gideon Ibukuntomiwa; Duruji Moses M.; Chidozie Felix C.
This paper examines the nexus between Nigeria’s foreign policy and glocalisation. Glocalisation
is an emerging concept in foreign policy discourse, with the sole intent of forging a synergy
between globalisation, global governance, and local relations, hinging on domestic peculiarities.
As it were, foreign policy has largely projected the interest of the ruling class and other private
interests rather than the greater good regardless of the gains for the ruling elites, as posited by
Jeremy Bentham. The concentric model was the theoretical framework used by the study to
explain the levels of relation from the core to the periphery, a globalised foreign policy to a
glocalised foreign policy. Qualitative research methods were adopted for this study, using
secondary sources of data collection, and textual analysis. While little or no attention has been
paid to glocalisation efforts in foreign policy discourse in Africa, it has been on the table of
discussion for the western world, notwithstanding the current level of development occasioned
by diplomatic relations worldwide. Progressively, within foreign policy discourses, the need to
glocalise foreign policy cannot be overemphasised, as it marks the beginning of real polity as
explained by Aristotle, as against simply focusing on the localisation of globalisation.
The weaponisation of artificial intelligence in modern warfare: Implications for global peace and security
(Research Journal in Advanced Humanities Volume 5, Issue 3,, 2024) Osimen Goddy U.; Fulani 0luwakemi Morola; Chidozie Felix C.; Dada Dolapo Omolara
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI} into military operations
has significant implications for global stability. Understanding
these implications is crucial for policymakers, researchers, and the
international community. This study addresses the impact of AIdriven
technologies on defence systems. It examines autonomous
weapons, surveillance, and cyber warfare, highlighting the
potential for an arms race. The main argument is that responsible
AI deployment is essential for maintaining peace and security. The
study is anchored on Deterrence theory. This study adopts qualitative
research methods as a means of data collection which is secondary
source based, and were merely obtained from textbooks, Journal
articles, conference proceedings, Newspapers, and reliable internet
materials. The data collected were analysed! thematically. The study
however revealed that AI enhances military capabilities while raising
legal and ethical concerns. The study therefore recommends among
others, the need for AI governance via international norms, and cooperation to prevent misuse.
