Awolowo's Political Philosophy
Middle-East Journal of Scientific Research 27 (2): 138-143, 2019 ISSN 1990-9233 © IDOSI Publications, 2019 DOI: 10.5829/idosi.mejsr.2019.138.143 Awolowo’s Political Philosophy: A Panacea For Good Governance Philip G. Nnaemeka Agashi Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki, Nigeria Abstract: The fundamental basic rule of life is on the centre of Awolowo’s theory of mental magnitude as an avenue to free Nigeria and Africa in general from the social ills. The idea of a responsible and responsive government is to wage war against the social ills which culminate on the following; illiteracy, corruption unemployment robbery, violence and terrorism. The African continent remains underdeveloped due to the high magnitude of the social ills. More so, it is due to absolute negligence of the leaders towards the fundamental rule of life. For Obafemi Awolowo the realistic nature of good governance is based on the basic rule of life that good begets good while evil begets evil. He understood love as the basic rule of life for leaders who have passion in achieving good and effective governance. Therefore the paper advocates the moral and political philosophy of Abafemi Awolowo as a panacea for good governance in the continent of Africa. Key words: Governance Political Philosophy and Nigeria INTRODUCTION human development as published by UNDP. Every successive government mainly after the first military coup Nigeria is endowed with abundant economic (natural) in Nigeria has been characterized by corruption and bad and human resources but the greatest problem facing leadership, thereby shattering the dreams of our founding Nigeria is the idea of effective leadership. -

ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2018–19 OUR STRATEGY FOUNDATIONS • We will continue to specialise in science, engineering, medicine and business. This is the foundation on which we build our future. • We will maintain world class core academic disciplines. All research and education must be underpinned by a deep understanding of the fundamentals. • We will encourage multidisciplinary research. Only by bringing together expertise from different disciplines can we solve today’s global challenges. • We will embed our educational experience in a vibrant, research-led, entrepreneurial environment. By learning alongside researchers who are experts in their fields our students gain the practical, entrepreneurial and intellectual skills to tackle societal problems. PEOPLE • We will build a supportive, inclusive and highly motivated staff community across all disciplines, functions and activities. This will help us to attract and retain the talented and diverse staff we need to achieve our mission. • We will enrich the student experience.

Towards a More Accessible Cultural Heritage: Challenges and Opportunities in Contextualisation Using 3D Sound Narratives
applied sciences Article Towards a More Accessible Cultural Heritage: Challenges and Opportunities in Contextualisation Using 3D Sound Narratives Veranika Lim 1,*,†, Sara Khan 2,† and Lorenzo Picinali 1,* 1 Dyson School of Design Engineering, Imperial College London, London SW7 2DB, UK 2 Department of Architecture and Design, Politecnico di Torino, 10129 Torino, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (V.L.); [email protected] (L.P.) † These authors contributed equally to this work. Abstract: This paper reports on the exploration of potential design opportunities for social media and technology to identify issues and challenges in involving people in generating content within a cultural heritage context. The work is divided into two parts. In the first part, arguments are informed by findings from 22 in-depth semi-structured interviews with representatives of cultural institutions and with people from a general audience who recently participated in a cultural activity. The key findings show that social media could be used more extensively to achieve a deeper understanding of cultural diversity, with opportunities in redefining the expert, extending the experience space, and decentralising collaboration. To further support these findings, a case study was set up evaluating the experience of a mini audio tour with user-generated (i.e., personal stories from a local audience) vs. non user-generated (i.e., professional stories including facts) narratives. These were delivered using text and 3D sound on a mobile device. The narratives were related to a built environment in central London near world-renown museums, cultural buildings, and a royal park. -

Elections in Anglophone African Countries 41 Yolanda Sadie 4 5 3 Youth Participation in Anglophone Africa 79 Victoria Graham
This book compares the progress ten select countries, all former colonies of Britain, have made towards the practice of democracy. The authors assess a range of indicators including the quality of elections, the impact of voter turnout, the importance of term limits, civil society’s various responsibilities, the presence of media freedoms, the impact of youth participation, accountability and the rising role of social media. These findings help illustrate the various periods within each country’s democracy from the immediate post-colonial experience, to the emergence of one-party states, to the surge of multi-party elections that are being influenced by key political figures and technology. This book will be of great interest to a broad readership including students of politics, international relations and history at tertiary educational institutions as well as the wider readership that is keen to understand what has shaped the post-colonial political experience of some key Anglophone African countries.

1 Interrogating the Plausibility of Ideological Classification of Nigerian Society Richard Taye Oyelakin
Interrogating the Plausibility of Ideological Classification of Nigerian Society Richard Taye Oyelakin http://dx.doi.org//10.4314/ujah.v17i 2.1 Abstract It is almost a theoretical truism that a society comprises different groups of people held together by common ideas, goals, and social-political and economic principles. These ideas, goals and principles precipitated different ideological groupings depending on the nature and supporting history of such society. Resulting from the differences in ideas, goals and principles in such a society, one ideological group is classified from the other. Consequently, talking about the organization of some Western societies namely, the United Kingdom, there are some diverse but sometimes competing ideological schools. Typically, we have the Conservative, the Liberal and the Radical Left. However, attempts are made to define African politico-economic structures along these foreign ideological classifications. This originates from the view that an ideological classification which originated and is working in some particular Western society must also work in typical African society. Whereas, the latter is not only different in its theoretical framework but also in its historical background. Consequently, this paper seeks to interrogate the justification of such classification of Nigerian society. The paper intends to submit that attempting to classify Nigerian politico-economic structure into these ideological frameworks is not only contradictory to the nature of our society, but also that such classifications are just conceptual acronyms for pseudo classes. 1 UJAH: Unizik Journal of Arts and Humanities Introduction There is bound to be a distortion of intellectual perception, especially when issues are not put into their correct perspectives. -
