The study was carried out to identify the extent emotional intelligence leads to bank sustainability. In line with the above, two research objectives, two research questions and two research hypotheses guided the study. Survey research design was used and questionnaire was employed as the major instrument of data collection. The data collected were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient (through SPSS). The findings revealed that emotional intelligence reduces the risk of bank failure and enhances the sustainability of Nigerian banks. It was recommended that efforts should be made by banking organizations in Nigeria to help managers increase their emotional awareness competencies. This could be done by training the managers to improve their self-awareness abilities which include the managers' emotional selfawareness, accurate self-awareness and self-confidence. Formal offsite training programs may be more desirable.

To ensure that the researcher was properly guided, two research questions were raised and one hypothesis was tested. The data used in the study were generated mainly through questionnaire administered on the respondents. Simple percentage (%) and chi-square (X 2) was the instrument of data analysis. From the analyses of the data gathered, the researcher discovered the credit risk management can lead to high profitability of banks, and its patronage. It was concluded that the risks faced by banks are endogenous, associated with the nature of banking business itself, whilst others are exogenous to the banking system.

The researchers employed survey research design and questionnaire was used as the instrument of data collection. The data collected were analysed using simple percentage and Pearson correlation coefficient. From the discussions in the study, it was discovered that foreign collaboration affects import of goods and services, and foreign collaboration affects export of goods and services. Also, the study concludes that businesses should collaborate with other partners across the globe to achieve high performance.

It examines the consequences of flue-gases in the area, the region subjection to too many sorts of contamination and deterioration rising from oil and natural gas extraction. These includes a decline in agricultural production, negative effect on freshwater, deformities in children, disorders in human complexion, pollution levels in the air, soil acidity, metal roof deteriorated, sulphates, nitrates, and dissolved solids as well as accompanying socioeconomic concerns amongst others. Despite the fact that decree 99 prohibits unlawful flaring, almost 75% of the gas generated is being flared. There has not been much empirical study on the effects of gas flaring on the physical, chemical, biological, atmospheric, and social environment according to the report. It concludes that a thorough inquiry and evaluation of the consequences of gas flaring on the Niger Delta's multiple environmental sections is urgently needed, since this is a prerequisite for realizing the ideal of sustainable mineral extraction in the area. Data used was gathered throughout a nine-year period for this report (2010-2018) with production quantities, volumes of flared components, operational temperature, pressure, gas compositions, gas density, and flow rates as factors considered and reported. Analysis of combustion was carried out using the data, MATLAB computer codes and the basic thermodynamic equations to determine the quantity of flared gases. Analyses revealed that during the time period in question, an overall 1.99175 x 10 11 gas volume in standard cubic feet was flared, resulting in anthropogenic 582,319,618.1826m 3 (1.046 Mt) CO2 emissions, 1,077,510,054.32m 3 (2.0 Mt) water vapour emissions, including 14,960,560.91m 3 methane emissions and contamination to the area therefore posing serious environmental worries. More analysis revealed that the estimated adiabatic flame temperature for the field under examination was around 1965 o C. Exergy investigations found that there was an overall 3.6099 x 10 13 kJ (36.099 TJ) of exergy accessible, equating to 1.0189 x 10 10 kWh of electrical power for the duration under examination. Finally, carbon capture technology could be improved, but given the huge quantity of carbon (IV) oxide and other gaseous compounds represented in the data, the best choice is to flare out. The entire project and its findings demonstrated suchlike, because of its thermal, environmental, and economic consequences; flue gas is undesired and damaging. Also to minimize gas flaring, every new project ought to include practical specifics for gas collection plus usage plans throughout the engineering design stage up to product commercialization, and as well as construction of many gas plants to convert the gas to electrical power and other commercial use.

The study was guided by Keynesian, Neoclassical, and Ricardian theories of budget deficit. This study made use of expost facto research design; Secondary data were collected from Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) statistical bulletin of various years for the period 1981-2020. The presence of unit root was checked by using Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF). The Johansen Co-integration technique was used to determine the long run equilibrium relationships among the variables. Thereafter, the ordinary least square regression analysis was used to determine the magnitude and direction of the independent variables on the dependent variable(s). The study revealed that fiscal or budget deficit has negative impact on capital expenditure or project and economic growth in Nigeria. It was recommended that Government at all levels should reduce the volume of recurrent expenditure as it consumes almost 80% of the country's revenue and Government and its MDA should stop multiplication of projects in the budgets as it is the major reason for fiscal deficit in Nigeria.

While identifying it as one of the recent developments currently changing the physiognomy of global politics, it specifically focuses on its challenges, consequences and implications for Africa particularly, in the realm of equality of players, requisite input into the policy process and, the encapsulating assertiveness of the global village. In the process, it was argued and revealed that, globalization is the final conquest of capital; over the rest of the world and that its "antecedents" and "uneven development thesis" are explainable within the context of the one-arm banditry and ethos of capitalism. Furthermore, it was argued that this will continue to be so, irrespective of its aim at the transcendental homogenization of political and socioeconomic structure of the globe and its purported benefits to mankind. The central thesis of our study is that the asymmetry of power and interests of the member states of the global village, as well as the lopsidedness in the rules of the game therein cannot benefit Africa and her people. This is so and would continue to be so because globalization is a new order of marginalization and decolonization in a "neo-neo-colonial fashion", of the African continent. We equally argued that its elevation into a position of 'Absolute Truth" without any credible alternative is a. disastrous entrapment for Africa from which the latter must free itself through a genuine and committed political, cultural, sociological and economic realignment and restructuring that is truly African in nature, if it hopes to survive the challenges of the twenty-first century.
