The parasites use many organisms including fish as a host. African catfish is one of the widely distributed fish species in tropical Africa and has become one of the most important culturable fish species in Africa especially in Nigeria. This study examined the occurrence of Diplostomum species in farm raised African catfish in Oyo state. A total of two hundred and sixteen eye samples were collected from 108 fishes in 36 farms. The eye lens and vitreous body were examined for the presence of Diplostomum species. The data obtained were analysed using descriptive statistics and regression analysis to the relationship between the eye size and parasite occurrence. The result shows that 33.18% of the samples had Diplostomum species. Males had higher occurrence (23.53%) than the females (9.65%). There were statistically significant differences in the percentage, intensity and index of infection between males and females (p = 0.010, p = 0.003, and p = 0.012 respectively) while the density of infection between both sexes was not statistically significant (p = 0.063). The relationship between eye diameter and occurrence of the parasites shows positive relationship Pearson correlation (R 2 = 0.125). In conclusion, Diplostomum species are present in farm raised African catfish in Oyo state-Nigeria with a positive relationship between the eye diameter and occurrence of the parasites.

Juvenile delinquency has been a global phenomenon, it has become a major concern of government, parents, schools, and society. To put it into perspective, social scientists agree to classify behaviours against laws and societal norms as delinquent behaviour. The present study examines the role of parenting style on juvenile delinquency, using 170 adolescents with behavioural issues who were place at government remand homes Lagos Nigeria. Simple random sampling was used in selection of the sample. The hypotheses were tested using Pearson correlation at .05 significance level. Results indicate that abusive type of parenting style stands as the main predictor of juvenile delinquency among the adolescent. It is suggested that parent at all levels should step up their parenting effort and adopt authoritative style of parenting as the appropriate style of parenting, based on the research outcome.

The samples for the study were 170 juveniles (N=170) recruited from government remand homes in Lagos, Nigeria. Simple random sampling was used in the selection of the sample. Standard self-administered questionnaires were employed to gather data among the selected juveniles. They were Resistance to Peer Influence (RPI) and Self-Report Delinquency Scale. The result revealed that there is a negative and significant correlation between peer influence and juvenile delinquency among adolescents, thereby suggesting that peer influence encourages delinquent behaviour among adolescents. As an implication, adolescents should be sufficiently educated and trained as a preventive measure to ensure they make friends with the right people and socialise themselves in conformity to the social expectation.
