Women in Nigeria seeking promotion to leadership roles in SMEs continue to look for answers on how to surmount the multiple barriers hampering their leadership aspirations. To address this need, this study was designed to explore how women entrepreneurs in Nigeria describe barriers to SME leadership through narratives about their daily business experiences, their agency, and their entrepreneurial context. The women’s entrepreneurial development in Nigeria, the Nigerian women’s entrepreneurial leadership style, and the agentic behavior of women leaders provided the conceptual framework for this work. A qualitative narrative inquiry method was adopted, and data were gathered through face-to-face semistructured interviews. The participants were a purposeful sample of 10 Nigerian women entrepreneurial leaders over the age of 30. The transcribed interviews were analyzed using thematic analysis. Five thematic categories emerged and were used to answer the research question. Study findings showed that Nigerian women entrepreneurial leaders face challenges due to family, gender, and patriarchal attitudes of the culture. The study shows the experiences, challenges, and triumphs of these courageous and resilient Nigerian women entrepreneurial leaders. Positive social change implications include providing training, mentoring programs, and information to guide, empower, and equip upcoming women entrepreneurial leaders to avert challenges in the future.

  • Post-Independence Basic Education in Kenya: an Historical Analysis of Curriculum Reforms
    FIRE: Forum for International Research in Education Vol. 7, Iss. 1, 2021, pp. 1-23 POST-INDEPENDENCE BASIC EDUCATION IN KENYA: AN HISTORICAL ANALYSIS OF CURRICULUM REFORMS Justus O. Inyega University of Nairobi, Kenya Adeela Arshad-Ayaz1 Concordia University, Canada M. Ayaz Naseem Concordia University, Canada Evans W. Mahaya University of Nairobi, Kenya Dalia Elsayed Concordia University, Canada Abstract This article presents a critical review of the education system and curriculum reforms in basic education in Kenya from independence in 1963 to date. It presents a philosophical and pragmatic basis for content review and the curriculum reform process. Data collection involved a critical review of relevant literature; including several curriculum reform documents. Based on the literature review and documentary analysis, there is overwhelming evidence that radical changes have resulted in the Kenyan education system from several curriculum reviews and major reforms in response to the changing needs of the Kenyan society. The new curriculum currently under implementation is the Competency-Based Curriculum (CBC). Over the years, there have been minimal changes in the content, scope, and sequence of the basic education curriculum. This article presents salient changes in the Kenyan education system and presents recommendations that may have significant implications for future curriculum reforms that can potentially improve learning outcomes. Keywords: curriculum reform, basic education, competency-based curriculum, historical analysis. 1 Correspondence: 1455 deMaisonneuve Blvd. West Montreal, Quebec, H3G 1M8 Canada; [email protected] 2 Post-Independence Basic Education in Kenya Introduction The current basic education school curriculum in Kenya is undergoing a reform. Existing literature suggests that the current 8-4-4 curriculum is theoretical and does not focus on the development of learners' competencies and skills (Jepkemei, 2017; Njeng' ere, & Lili, 2017; Ogutu, 2017; Kaviti, 2018; Wanjohi, 2018).

  • Effect of Loan Loss Provision on Revenue Recognition of Deposit
    Effect of Loan Loss Provision on Revenue Recognition of Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria Effect of Loan Loss Provision on Revenue Recognition of Deposit Money Banks (DMBs) in Nigeria LAMBE, Isaac Department of Accounting, Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State E – Mail: [email protected], Phone No: +234 8027629054 OLA, Miriam Hilda Department of Accounting, Bingham University, Karu, Nasarawa State E – Mail: [email protected], Phone No: +234 8027629054 Abstract This study examines the effect of loan loss provision on revenue recognition of listed deposit money banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. Secondary sources of data were used from the annual reports, and financial statement of the twelve (12) deposit money banks selected for the period between 2014 and 2018. The methodology employed was panel data analysis including pooled Ordinary least square estimation with fixed effect estimation. The variables studied were Revenue Recognition (RR), Loan Loss Provision (LLR), Income Smoothening (IS) and Value Relevance (VR). The results revealed that income smoothening, Loan Loss Provision and Value Relevance impacted negatively on revenue recognition; however, only the effect of LLP is found to be statistically significant in pre- IFRS adoption while loan loss provision and value relevance impacted positively on revenue recognition and income smoothening impacted negatively on revenue recognition in post- IFRS adoption respectively. However, loan loss provision and value relevance have significant impact on revenue recognition in post IFRS adoption. The study therefore concluded that, the adoption of international financial reporting standard has had significant effects on the mechanics of loan loss provisioning in Nigerian Deposit Money Banks. It is therefore recommended that management should congruence the loan loss provision because it has a critical effect on revenue recognition which will have an inevitable effect on profitability and sustainability.

  • Violence in Nigeria : a Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis
    Marc-Antoine Pérouse de Montclos (ed.) West African Politics and Society series 3 Violence in Nigeria Violence in Nigeria Violence in Nigeria Most of the academic literature on violence in Nigeria is qualitative. It rarely relies on quantitative data because police crime statistics are not reliable, or not available, or not even published. Moreover, the training of A qualitative and Nigerian social scientists often focuses on qualitative, cultural, and political issues. There is thus quantitative analysis a need to bridge the qualitative and quantitative approaches of conflict studies. This book represents an innovation and fills a gap in this regard. It is the first to introduce a discussion on such issues in a coherent manner, relying on a database that fills the lacunae in A qualitative and quantitative data from the security forces. The authors underline the necessity of a trend analysis to decipher the patterns and the complexity of violence in very different fields: from oil production to cattle breeding, radical Islam to motor accidents, land conflicts to witchcraft, and so on. In addition, analysis they argue for empirical investigation and a complementary approach using both qualitative and quantitative data. The book is therefore organized into two parts, with a focus first on statistical Marc-Antoine studies, then on fieldwork. Pérouse de Montclos (ed.)
