It is against this backdrop that this work explores the integration of Voice, Web and SMS technologies, in Nigeria's democratic process. The proposed system takes advantage of the ubiquitous nature of mobile devices to explore the plausibility of increasing the level of citizens' participation in democratic practices, particularly, those in rural areas with no Internet access and the physically challenged electorates. The server module for the e-democracy system was developed in PHP. Ozeki SMS server and Voxeo Voice server were used for SMS transaction code and VoiceXML code respectively. The prototype e-democracy system shows that developing nations can take advantage of their present level of technological development to give voice to the voiceless and improve their democratic system.

Furthermore, it has been argued by some scholars that government agencies are more likely to achieve their goals of enhanced performance for the improvement in the living standard of the people, particularly in the provision of adequate social amenities such as clean water, electricity supply, good roads, well equipped hospitals and adequate security protection of lives and properties, where transparency on the part of public officials in the use of public resources, and trust about government agencies on the part of the people are the norms in such a society. Previous studies have hinged on transparency for enhanced performance of government and its agencies on the integrity and perception of the individual employees in carrying out their assignments without taking into consideration the l...

To learn more about the impact of online social networking (OSN) on academic performance, a survey of undergraduate students of a private university in southwest Nigeria was conducted. Survey results were analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) and partial least squares (PLS) approach. The results revealed a statistically significant positive effect of academic competence and predictors of behavior on student time management on OSN and their academic performances. The result also revealed a statistically significant positive effect of attention deficit on time spent on OSNS and a statistically significant negative effect on academic performance. Specifically, it was determined that the higher the attention deficit, the higher the time spent on OSN. Further, academic competence was found to be highly correlated with cha...

This is because the public service is the engine for the processing of the vastly acquired and expanded government responsibilities of executing public policies and proj ects and rendering essential services to the people. In Nigeria, various governmental regimes have attempted repositioning the public sector for effective and efficient service delivery through various refonns. In spite o f all these ciTorts, the Nigeria Public Service remains inefficient and incapable of delivering its responsibility. This paper adopts descriptive and analytical approach with data collected from secondary sources. By interrogating the exponential growth, usage and acceptance of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in Nigeria, it argues for a paradigm shift from the traditional approach to electronic administration to enhance the delivery of publ ic goods and services which are con...

There are contrasting opinions in literature by researchers on the impact of OSNs on students' academic performance. Some argued that there is a statistically significant negative relationship between OSN s and academic performance and vice-versa. The focus of this study is to validate the different opinions expressed in literature on the impact of OSNs and academic performance. A smvey of students of a large private mriversity was conducted. The smvey results were amlyzed with Structural Equation Mode hug (SEM) usiug Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach. The findiugs revealed negative effect of OSN services on students' academic performance. Students who spend considerable amormt of time in OSNs on average usually have lower Grade Point Average (GPA) than non-users of OSNs during academic session. The implication of the find...

In an era of public disenchantment on democratic institutions, modern democratic parliaments utilize Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) to enhance their accessibility and interaction with citizens for inclusive decision making process. In spite of the unprecedented diffusion, acceptance and usage of ICTs in Africa, legislative assemblies of most African countries are inaccessible and lack adequate meeting facilities to regularly interact meaningfully with the public. This research paper therefore employs a combination of descriptive statistics of website survey and updated literature search to evaluate the extents of the capacity of African parliamentary websites to engage citizens in legislative decision-making process. The research findings reveal the extent of the usefulness of African pa...

The study utilizes a quantitative research methods. A conceptual research model to investigate factors affecting e-revenue was developed by integrating technology, organisation, and environment framework. The constructs employed in predicting e-revenue adoption include technological competence, financial cost, internal need, satisfaction with existing system, competitive pressure, taxpayer readiness, government regulation. Data were collected from 140 staff of the ICT department, collection departments, and some management staff of State Internal Revenue Service in three state of Nigeria. The data were analysed based on PLS-SEM using SmartPLS 3.0. The result shows that financial cost, level of satisfaction with existing system, internal need of the revenue agencies, government regulation, and competitive pressure are significant factors influencing the adoption of e-revenue ...

While representation involves informing and listening to those represented and making decisions and exercising influence on their behalf, legislative institutions of many African countries lack the effectiveness to inform and interact with their constituents, thus resulting to serious citizens-representatives disengagement. This pervasive contemporary estrangement is manifested in public cynicism towards political institutions and a collapse in once-strong loyalties and attachment between citizens and government. This research paper draws from case analysis and literature search to examine the potentials and challenges of e-parliament for re-engaging the electorate in the democratic states of Africa. Findings reveal that by leveraging on the exponential growth of ICTs particularly, in the continent, e-parliament provides new strategies for increasing and strengthening deliberative a...

Survey instrument was designed based on these theories and was administered to a convenient and randomly selected sample in Nigeria. The variance-based Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach was used to evaluate the measurement and structural models. Partial Least Square Algorithm (PLS-Algorithm) and bootstrapping were executed to estimate the significance and test the validity of the SEM components. Findings reveal the imperative of democratic political culture orientation of ordinary citizens in developing positive attitude towards the acceptance and use of e-democracy system while political awareness, political efficacy, and recruitment networks are found to be significant predictors of intention to use e-democracy. These predictors can be stimulated through dedicated massive political orientation programs and enlightenment campaigns by the government in partnership with civil society organizations, religious associations, academic institutions, interest groups, the media and traditional institutions on the benefits of e-democracy to a country's political system.

The issue of sustainability and citizens’ acceptance of online public participation, however, remains a major issue of concern requiring adequate attention. This study therefore aims to develop a strategic framework for e-democracy implementation and sustainability. Design/methodology/approach Systematic qualitative review using Grounded Theory Method was adopted to develop the e-democracy strategic framework. Findings The strategic framework is generic and has the potential to serve as a spring board for e-democracy implementation. It abstracts existing strategies and best practice that can be adopted to add value to e-democracy implementation. Using this framework, developing nations can take advantage of their present level of technological development to give voice to the voiceless and improve their democratic ...

It is organized around the following question: in what ways have scholars formed and been formed by the structural configurations of their academic domain? The article uses as a case study the academic domain of education and technology to examine this question. Its authorship approach is innovative, with a worldwide collection of academics (99 authors) collaborating to address the proposed question based on their reflections on daily social and academic practices. This collaboration followed a three-round process of contributions via email. Analysis of these scholars’ reflective accounts was carried out, and a theoretical proposition was established from this analysis. The proposition is of a mutual (yet not necessarily balanced) power (and therefore political) relationship between the human and non-human co...

Design/methodology/approach – A conceptual model to investigate factors that influence e-banking usage was developed based on review of existing literature. The model employed e-services quality variable, diffusion of innovation construct and self-efficacy to better reflect the users’ views of e-banking usage. Data collected from 254 e-banking users were used to test the model. The data were analysed based on PLS-SEM using SmartPLS 3.0. Findings – The result reveals that perceived e-service quality has a strong influence on customer satisfaction and use of e-banking, which means that greater quality of e-service has the potential to increase satisfaction and consequently result in to more use of e-banking. In this research findings, competence of e-service support staff, system availability, service portfolio, re...

To investigate users' acceptance of e-democracy from developing nation's perspective, this study employed an extended technology acceptance model (TAM) which integrates trust, perceived risk and task-technology fit. The results supported the hypothesized positive relationship between perceived usefulness and intention to use e-democracy. However, contrary to TAM perceived ease of use shows no significant effect on intention to use e-democracy. Finding also revealed that lack of trust in government and in the democratic process is a limiting factor to citizens' e-democracy acceptance.

E-democracy has been identified to have the potentials to reduce the contemporary estrangement between the democratic actors by creating new forms of engagement, deliberation, and collaboration in polity to make the democratic processes more inclusive and transparent. However, edemocracy initiatives in many countries have had mixed success as most e-democracy implementations have been unable to justify the essence of huge investments made into it. This research paper reviews existing edemocracy development processes and agenda of nations among the top twenty countries in e-participation implementation as rated in the UN Global E-Government Evaluation, 2010. The sample composed of secondary data sourced from information system centric academic journals, book chapters, conference proceedings, database of international development organisations (OECD, UN, EU) on e-democracy implementation reports and database of research institutions and centres that focus on e-government and e-democracy implementation. Findings revealed that most countries do not have well established framework and agenda setting for e-democracy implementation, but only based their e-democracy implementation on one of the objectives of their e-government implementation. As a result, policy content is largely missing in most edemocracy strategies at both conceptual and implementation stage. This paper therefore, presents a guideline for e-democracy agenda setting and discusses issues germane to establishing e-democracy agenda. It submits that for a successful e-democracy implementation, the agenda-setting phase should capture the legal and political processes of the country. In addition, e-democracy strategic vision, strategic aim and objectives, strategic policy, mode of implementation and overseeing body should be well articulated in the agenda setting phase of e-democracy implementation plan. The discussion will benefit both researchers, government and practitioners on successful e-democracy implementation as basis for societal development.

The deployment of Information Communication Technology (ICT) and Information Technology (IT) devices for democratic governance has been successful in technologically advanced countries, and has inspired countries from the developing South, such as Nigeria to contemplate or commence e‐elections for democratic sustainability. The elections regulatory body, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had contemplated exploring e‐elections in the country but later dropped the idea on grounds of unpreparedness. Electoral process or election however, has its several components: voter registration, registration review/update, electioneering campaigns, actual voting, and release of election results. These naturally come with their challenges and have informed a school of thought that based on Nigeria’s economic instability, corruption, resources mismanagement, and technologically backward climate, including unstable power supply, e‐elections would be far‐fetched. The other school of thought however, exhibits hope and optimism. This paper, with data scooped through questionnaire administration and from literature, examines the challenges and prospects as well as the peculiarity of Nigerian electoralsystem and the e‐election system, which will be marooned in the general Nigerian politicandl economic climate. Findings show that the prospects are and will always be good for the country, but that the stakes are far too high at a moment of huge infrastructural laybacks of the country. Moreover, not too many people have confidence in the electoral regime, let alone going ahead with such a venture as e‐elections. It therefore recommends, among other things, that the nation should develop the sub‐sectors of the economy that can sustain e‐elections before INEC goes ahead with the capital‐intensive enterprise for democratic sustainability in Nigeria.

Business Intelligence provides the platform with which Information and knowledge is used to improve business operation. This exploratory study examines customer satisfaction as the basis of competitive advantage enjoyed by information network service providers and those responsible for decision making in related organizations. The aim is to statistically analyse data and complement this with Text mining, in order to have an holistic way of drawing inferences from both structured and unstructured data for the purpose of decision making. Two method of analysis were used to find the level of customer satisfaction. They include, descriptive method, which involves the use of SPSS15.0 and K-means clustering algorithm used to mine the unstructured part of the data gathering instrument (questionnaire). Questionnaire is used as the primary means of data gathering. The finding of this study reveal that competitive intelligence related inferences bring about a better customer service relationship between the network service providers and their customers and therefore improve the profits of the organizations involved.
