This study aimed at determining the Factors militating against Effective Teaching and Learning of Accounting among Business Education students, University of Benin, Benin City. Five research purpose and questions were drafted to guide the study. In the process of carrying at this study, work of various scholars and authors were reviewed. A descriptive survey was adopted for study design. A total number of 381 accounting education students in the department of Vocational and Technical Education students formed the population of study while 100 respondents randomly selected formed the sample size. Questionnaire was used as research Instrument. The validity of the instrument was established by the project supervisor and two (2) other lecturers in the department. A reliability coefficient of .768 was used for the study which was gotten using Cranach alpha method. The data were analyzed using mean and standard deviation. A mean of 2.50 was used as a benchmark for accepting the responses to the items formulated under each research question. The study reveals that to a large extent, lack of use of instructional materials, shortage of time allocated to teaching accounting and writing of examinations, negative attitude and perception of students towards accounting, poor condition of learning environment as well as how competent available learning materials such as accounting textbook militate against effective teaching and learning of accounting among business education students. Therefore, it was recommended that efforts should be made by government, school administrators, students and other stakeholders in addressing the above problems by providing adequate and relevant instructional materials for teaching and learning of accounting, allocating more time both for teaching and learning as well as for examination of students, provision of more equipped and conducive teaching and learning environment, regular review of available accounting textbooks and changes in students’ negative attitude towards accounting

In this study, the effect of financial development on insurance penetration in Nigeria sector for the period 1995 – 2022 was investigated using ordinary least square (OLS) technique. Financial development indicators utilized in the study includes broad money supply and credit to private sector while insurance sector penetration rate was the dependent variable. We estimated a regression model and the result reveals that broad money supply has negative and insignificant impact on insurance penetration in Nigeria while credit to private sector was positively and significantly related to insurance penetration. The study recommends that regulatory authorities charged with the sole responsibility of ensuring the macroeconomic stability of Nigeria should ensure that more credit should be extended to the private sector in other to further deepen insurance penetration rate in Nigeria. Also, the negative and insignificant effect of broad money supply on insurance penetration in Nigeria calls for the strict reevaluation of the present monetary policy tools as regard the volume of money in circulation to ensure that it contribute significantly to insurance penetration rate in Nigeria

The study adopted descriptive survey research design in sampling the opinions of final year students in faculty of education in the study area. The population of the study consisted of eight hundred and thirteen male (813) and one thousand two hundred and sixty two female (1262) and the total population two thousand and seventy five (2065) make up the total population for the study. Through sample random sampling technique 100 participants were selected. The Cronbach Alpha method of reliability was used in analyzing the responses received from the students and a reliability coefficient value of 0.82 was obtained. The findings from analyzed data indicated that Students’study habits and access to technology during the Iockdown were positively impacted. Information provided by lecturers during the lockdown, students’ motivation and communication with lecturers were negatively affected; Specific challenges faced by students included feeling of isolation, disconnection from their peers, teachers andlecturers during the Covid-19 lockdown, were distracted by family and people in their household, unable to access learning materials, that difficulty staying organized and had poor time management; Psychological and emotional effects of the Lockdown included feeling of frustration, being overwhelmed as well as changes in sleep and eating habits.

However, students were negatively impacted in relation to support from teachers and other students while learning online. Based on the findings, some recommendations were made

The concept of same-sex marriage in recent times is one of the recurrent controversial issues universally, and this is especially so with its criminalization in some countries. It is not a new phenomenon. There are conflicting views on same sex relationships and nations of the world are at disparity on this score. With the passage of time, it is glaring that the law is being influenced as a result of growth and development of science. A controversial issue in the argument on same sex marriage in Nigeria is whether marriages between people of the same gender is foreign to Nigerian culture and tradition. The traditional marriage system in Nigeria has been particularly challenged by the rising visibility of same-sex relationships and marriages. Nigeria does not recognize or accept same sex relationships and this decision by the legislature is hinged on moral, religious and traditional values and the country has established this by passing the Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act (SSMPA) 2014 into law. This law prohibiting same sex marriages and civil unions has been criticized by some of the international community on grounthat same sex activities are
considered acts between two consenting adults as purely private affairs and ought not to be the
state’s concern. A major question that arose with the implementation of the SSMPA was whetherthe new legislation would infringe the rights of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgenders(LGBTs) and in extension, the Nigerian Constitution which safeguards the rights of citizens. In light of the foregoing, this study examines the legality and framework of the anti-gay law inNigeria and seeks to establish the impact same sex unions have on Nigerian culture, morals andthe value system as a whole due to the fact that Nigeria is a highly moralist state.

Facies prediction refers to the task of determining the type of rock or sediment in a particular area, based on various physical and chemical properties. Machine learning techniques can be used to build predictive models for facies prediction, using data
on the characteristics of different rock types and the corresponding measurements made at various locations. These models can then be used to make predictions about the facies of new, previously unseen locations. There are several benefits to using machine learning for facies prediction. One benefit is that the models can be trained on large amounts of data, allowing them to make highly accurate predictions. Additionally, machine learning models can be updated as new data becomes available, enabling them to improve over time.

Globally, mental health disorders are a major public health issue, affecting people across all age groups. Approximately 970 million people were living with a mental disorder in 2019, with anxiety and depression being the most common conditions (World Health Organization 2022).

Hence the study ascertained he causes of mental health challenges among youth in the study area, explored the community-based mental health programs, determined how community-based mental health programs influence youth development, identified ways to improve the mental health and explored the role of social workers in community-based mental health programs in the Oredo Local Government Area. The study adopted the mixed-method type of research, also known as triangulation. This design allows to triangulate data by using multiple sources of information to confirm or validate each other’s. The study population included residents of Oredo LGA 18 years and above without prejudice to ethnic nationality, social status, or educational qualifications. LGA counsellors, health workers, and community heads in the LGA also form part of the population. A sample size of 424 was drawn from the total population of residents 18 years and above from the 12 wards in the Oredo LGA. The sample size for this was determined using an appropriate mathematical model for sample size and the multi-stage, otherwise known as area sampling, procedure in selecting respondents for the study. The structured questionnaire and In-Depth Interview (IDI) were used in data collection. The analysis and discussion were based on the data from the field using descriptive statistics and content analysis respectively. The findings from the study revealed that there were different causes of mental health
challenges in the study area. The causes could be linked to spiritual, physical, or social and psychological triggers. These triggers included spiritual factors, such as the belief in the possession of evil spirits, and psychological factors, like frequent exposure to stressful and traumatic events. The findings further identified social triggers such as family history, poverty, and drug abuse as leading causes of mental health challenges in the study area. The findings revealed that existing mental health programs, like the school-based mental health program, were very effective. It was, however, discovered that the existing mental health xi program in the study area was not participatory. That is, the community members were not drafted as partners in the process towards addressing the mental health crisis. The services was also not easily accessible thereby limiting their benefits to those who needed them most. The study therefore recommends appropriate implementation of community-based mental health programmes that are participatory. That is, the type that engage the host community in the design, formulation, and implementation of mental health programs in the study area. The programme should be designed in such a way that it engage local leaders, community members, and youth themselves.

Women empowerment has been a critical area of focus for governments, organizations,and researchers worldwide. It refers to the process of equipping women with the necessary knowledge, resources, and skills to participate fully in social, economic, and political spheres.One effective approach to promoting women's empowerment is through skill acquisition programmes, which provide independence, and enhance theiroverall well-being. Even though women make up around 50% of the world's population, they have historically had less authority since certain civilizations maintain patriarchal cultures. They have been given the primary duties of taking care of the household, their husbands, and raising children as full-time housewives,despite the fact that they have historically been disfavored by societal,cultural,and religious views. Inequality between men and women was created by this circumstance,which severely disenfranchised women.
