The Nigerian state has fallen from a formerly epistemic purity of the past and that, there is the conflict of “truth” and “facts” as opposed to falsehood/fake news. Poor leadership recruitment process has aided corruption and instilled the culture of falsehood and fake news. It has created a huge gap between the anticipated gains of democracy and democracy dividends on ground. This paper argues that the masses in Nigeria are like boats on the volatile sea without a leadership guide an...

Among the peoples of Kenya, there has been a cultural and religious revival and all means are being sought to propagate it. In certain circles, there is even a revival of ethnic rites, religious rituals and customs, and there are national efforts to preserve and take pride in ethnic cultures. Councils of elders are being treated with respect and honour as custodians of these cultures and religious beliefs. Generally, there has been a resilience of African Traditional Religion (ATR) and tradit...
Military intervention has attracted a lot of scholarly attention in the recent past, with many scholars interested in interrogating the motives and justifications for the practice. Many of these studies have mainly focused on military intervention externally rather than the involvement of the military in internal security operations.

A genealogical reconstruction of any language is geared towards the formulation of a protolanguage. The reconstruction of a target language is largely dependent on the current use of its presumed varieties or dialects. In this case, the genealogical reconstruction of the ProtoLuluhyia language was possible through consideration of its dialects. The existing literature shows that genealogical reconstruction of a proto-language for all Luluhyia dialects had not been done. It was, therefore, nec...

Despite the role played by women in water resource management and the efforts that the government has made in enha...
