Nigeria is globally recognised as major player in African affairs primarily due to her rich human and natural resources. However, her national security has been continually bedevilled by numerous issues of crime and insecurity such as kidnapping, banditry, insurgency, civil unrest, armed robbery and terrorism. This unprecedented proliferation in criminal activities has set many panicking and most businesses paralyzed. The study therefore examines Nigeria"s rising phenomenon of insecurity and its implications on the socioeconomic life of the people. It focuses on the identification of general factors responsible for insecurity in Nigeria; to examine the effects of insecurity on the socioeconomic wellbeing of the people; to determine the extent to which people have been victimized of the different forms of crimes; and to proffer viable solutions to guarantee peaceful coexistence among persons living in Nigeria. Survey research design was adopted for the study, where a 14-item structured questionnaire was utilized to elicit relevant information from a total of 204 persons living in Nigeria who constitute the population sample for the study. Three hypotheses were formulated and tested using the chi-square statistical method of data analysis. Findings from the study significantly implicated bad leadership as the main cause of crime proliferation and unstable socioeconomic life among people living in Nigeria. Consequently, among others, the study recommends a deliberate, decisive and concerted effort by all Nigerians with support from the international communities towards instituting credible and reliable leadership personalities and institutions at all levels.

In societies where democracy has been adopted, election constitutes the main instrument of leadership selection. The significance of election has placed it at the center of all democratic activities. Its conduct, however, becomes meaningless and may result into human discomfort and misfortune of unconceivable scale where the rules of engagement are violated or completely discarded. While the literature indicates that election attracts global attention by the day, its administration in many of the global south, including Nigeria, has produced outcomes that require genuine reassessments of the underpinning legal precepts.

Such behavioural change usually interchanges concurrently by reflecting love and respect for the dead on the one hand and dread and despair on the other hand. Along with this is the issue of festivities usually tagged as 'befitting burial' which they see as mandatory for positive repercussion on those left behind by the dead based on their belief that the dead have power over the living. While this seems very interesting, most of the studies on death and funeral in developing societies (of which Yorubaland in southwest Nigeria is inclusive) are mostly historical in nature and for complete appreciation of cultural heritage in traditional societies. This study, which took place in Kisi town, Oyo State, Nigeria is therefore transcending the regular studies on death and funeral which are limited to showcasing cultural heritage by looking at its touristic perspective. Quantitative and qualitative methods were used to source for primary data from the residents of Kisi town. Questionnaire was adopted for quantitative and complemented with observation as a qualitative tool. A total of 100 respondents were sampled from the community and a copy of questionnaire was administered on each of them. The data collected were analysed and interpreted in frequency and simple percentage. The results showed that virtually all the respondents (99%) have either attended and/or witnessed funeral activities before. People participated in funeral activities because they served as avenues for social get-together (52%); channels for uniting with old friends (69%) and viable outlets for making new social contacts (49%). Some of the perceived benefits inherent in funeral activities included social bonding (30%), social control and moral readjustment (20%), spiritual stability (16%). Others saw the benefits as being in the forms of outlets for marketing goods and services (12%), avenue for leisure and recreation (22%). The novel aspects of funeral activities were intermittent crying and cracking of jokes when occasion demands; voluntary wailing and crying by the sympathizers; occasional hot disagreement over simple issue like sharing of food. At the point where the stage was already set for merriment, food and drinks flow easily while dancing became feverish and frenzied. At this stage it was always difficult to assume that people that were wailing and crying incessantly are those now wriggling their bodies to the rhythm of the music being supplied. Recommendations were also made in line with the findings of the study.

Its emergence has altered and disrupted man's social existence in health, education, communication, business, relationship, transportation, etc. Consequently, the emergence of COVID-19 has given rise to new trends and dimensions of information-seeking behaviours and technology adaptation in man's social existence. Its effect with regard to the general direction of illicit drug trafficking and distribution is yet to be ascertained. Therefore, this study is designed to primarily examine the patterns and trends of illicit drug trafficking and distribution in Nigeria during the covid-19 era. The theory of social constructivism was adopted to explain the contemporary trend of illicit drug trafficking and distribution. It utilised the available limited secondary data that were collected from relevant local and international drug control agencies as well as anecdotal information collated through the New media to analyze the trends of illicit drug trafficking and distribution during this period of movement restrictions. Findings from the study revealed a spontaneous trigger of the use of Technology Mediated Communication Channels (TMCC) for the sales and distribution of illicit drugs. Sequel to this key finding, the study recommends a proportionate innovative technological advancement by relevant law enforcement agencies in awareness creation, tracking, prevention and apprehension of the culprits of illegal drug trafficking and distribution in Nigeria.

This study studied the situation in Abuja in Nigeria. The study was quantitative in approach and has questionnaire as its main tool of data collection. A total 100 respondents were involved in the study. The data collected were analyzed, interpreted and presented in simple percentage. Night entertainment was preferred because the period is unique, devoid of hustle and bustle commonly found in the day time (17%) and has power to enhance total wellbeing, opportunity to make business contacts (19%). Live Musical band (42%), wining and dining (34%), indoor game (14%) and comedy corner (10%) were the preferred activities. Challenges encountered in night entertainment in...
