Abstract
The study examined the topic “Audience Perception of the Use of Artificial Intelligence in Planning, Creating, and Disseminating Advertisements.” The objectives of the study were to examine the level of audience awareness of AI use in advertising, ascertain the impact of AI in advertising processes, and identify the challenges encountered in its adoption. The study was anchored on Mediamorphosis Theory and Technological Determinism Theory. A survey research design was employed, using a questionnaire to collect responses from a sample size of 302 participants. Findings revealed that the audience demonstrated a high level of awareness regarding the use of artificial intelligence in the advertising process. The study further showed that although AI has made a significant positive impact on advertising, there is a need to improve AI tools so that AI-assisted advertisements are more accurate, engaging, and less robotic. Additionally, concerns were raised about excessive consumer manipulation, lack of human creativity, as well as privacy and data security issues. Based on these findings, the study recommended that advertisers should integrate human creativity with AI capabilities to produce advertisements that are emotionally engaging, contextually relevant, and authentic. Furthermore, clear guidelines should be established to protect consumer data used in AI-driven advertising, with advertisers and technology developers ensuring transparency in how such data is collected, stored, and utilized to foster consumer trust and uphold ethical standards. Finally, the study recommended the development of industry-wide regulations and ethical frameworks to prevent the misuse of AI in manipulating consumer behaviour. Advertisers should adopt responsible AI policies that prioritize user consent, fairness, and respect for consumer autonomy

THE USE OF NIGERIAN ENGLISH IN HUMOUR TO DEFRAY TENSION IN SELECTED SOCIAL MEDIA CONTEXT

Year of Publication
Publication Type
Abstract
This study explores the role of Nigerian English in defraying tension within online social media interactions, focusing on humour, particularly satire, irony, wordplay, and the use of indigenous Nigerian languages on platforms like Twitter and Facebook. The research examines how humour functions as a coping mechanism, providing emotional relief and fostering social solidarity among Nigerians during politically charged discussions, socio-economic challenges, and national debates. Utilizing Relief Theory, Superiority Theory, and Socio-Cognitive Theory (Critical Discourse Analysis), the study analyzes humour strategies that help manage conflict and critique political systems. Data was gathered through purposive sampling of posts, comments, and memes, spanning from 2018 to 2025. The findings reveal that humour in Nigerian English, when combined with indigenous languages such as Yoruba, Igbo, and Pidgin, serves as a powerful tool for both emotional release and social bonding. This humour allows Nigerians to laugh at their political and socio-economic frustrations, asserting a sense of superiority over the political elite while promoting a collective identity. Additionally, the study underscores the psychological and social functions of humour as a discursive strategy for alleviating tension and fostering resilience. The research contributes to the understanding of Nigerian English as a dynamic linguistic tool in digital communication, offering new insights into the intersection of language, humour, and social solidarity in the context of Nigeria's socio-political landscape.

Abstract
This study examined the effect of stress antecedents (workload, budget attainability, budget emphasis, role conflict, and leadership behaviour) on audit quality among auditors in Nigeria. A quantitative survey design was adopted, and data were collected from 120 auditors across audit firms in Nigeria using a structured questionnaire. The study employed descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, and mean to summarize respondents’ demographic characteristics and perceptions of the study variables. The study finds that auditors experience significant stress from heavy workloads, tight deadlines, and simultaneous client engagements. Budget attainability and leadership behaviour showed positive and significant effects on audit quality, indicating that realistic budgets and supportive leadership enhance audit performance. Conversely, workload, budget emphasis, and role conflict exhibited significant negative effects on audit quality. The regression model showed that the combined stress antecedents explained 50.7% of the variance in audit quality. The study recommends improved workload distribution, realistic budgeting, moderated emphasis on time budgets, reduced role conflict, and strengthened leadership practices.

Abstract
This study investigates the effects of Dendropanax trifidus, a traditional medicinal plant, on kidney function and morphology in Wistar rats. The aim is to evaluate the potential nephroprotective and therapeutic properties of Dendropanax trifidus extract through a series of experimental assays. Wistar rats were divided into control and treatment groups, receiving varying doses of Dendropanax trifidus extract over a predetermined period. Biochemical analyses were conducted to assess kidney function, including serum levels of creatinine, urea and electrolytes. Histological examinations of kidney tissues were performed to evaluate morphological changes and structural integrity. Results demonstrated that administration of Dendropanax trifidus significantly improvedrenal function markers in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting its potential nephroprotective effects. Histological analysis revealed a reduction in tubular injury and preserved glomerular architecture in treated rats compared to controls. These findings indicate that Dendropanax trifidus may possess beneficial effects on kidney health, potential offering a natural therapeutic option for the management of renal disorders. Further studies are warranted to elucidate the underlying mechanisms of action and to explore possible clinical applications in nephrology

Abstract
This study examines teachers’ perceptions of the influence of computational thinking (CT) on Indigenous language learning in Nigeria. Computational thinking, recognized as a critical 21st-century skill, encompasses problem-solving processes such as abstraction, pattern recognition, decomposition, and algorithmic reasoning, and its integration into language education has been proposed as a means of enhancing learner engagement, comprehension, and creativity. However, the effectiveness of this integration depends largely on teachers’ readiness, attitudes, and the level of institutional support available, which prompted this study to specifically explore the perceived benefits and challenges of applying computational thinking in Indigenous language teaching, evaluate teachers’ level of ICT preparedness, and identify the support systems required for its effective implementation. The study, which was guided by research questions focusing on teachers’ perceptions of these benefits, the challenges encountered, their level of ICT competence, and the needed support systems, adopted a descriptive survey research design targeting Indigenous language teachers in secondary schools within Oredo Local Government Area of Edo State. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire designed to capture teachers’ perceptions, experiences, and competencies related to computational thinking and ICT usage, and the collected data were subsequently analyzed using mean scores and standard deviations to determine trends and patterns in responses. The findings revealed that computational thinking offers significant educational benefits, including improved learner engagement, enhanced vocabulary development, and strengthened problem-solving skills, though several challenges were also identified, such as limited training opportunities, inadequate ICT facilities, increased time required for lesson preparation, and concerns regarding the cultural relevance of digital learning activities. Furthermore, the study showed that although teachers possess basic ICT skills, many lack the confidence to implement innovative digital teaching strategies; therefore, the study concludes that computational thinking has strong potential to enhance Indigenous language learning when supported by adequate training, technological infrastructure, and enabling policies. Consequently, it recommends that educational authorities and policymakers provide targeted professional development, improve access to ICT resources, and promote collaboration among teachers, technology experts, and community stakeholders to ensure an effective and culturally responsive integration of computational thinking in language education.

Abstract
This research focuses on the analysis of the effectiveness of cybercrime laws in Nigeria: Challenges and solutions. Despite the enactment of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.), Act, 2015, Nigeria continues to struggle with enforcing its cybercrime laws effectively. This paper critically analyzes the effectiveness of Nigeria’s cybercrime legal framework, identifies the systemic and operational challenges that hinder enforcement, and proposes viable solutions to improve the legal and institutional response to cyber threats. Drawing on scholarly sources, legal documents, and policy analysis, this study argues that while the legal framework is a significant step forward, its enforcement is undermined by weak institutional capacity, corruption, technological gaps, and low public awareness. The research concludes that the enactment of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.), Act, 2015 marked a significant milestone in Nigeria’s fight against digital crime. However, its effectiveness is hindered by structural, legal, and operational shortcomings. Low public awareness, poor enforcement capacity, outdated legal provisions, and weak institutional coordination continue to plague Nigeria’s cybersecurity landscape. This study recommends that there should be periodic review and amendment of the Cybercrime Act to include modern cyber threats such as AI, cryptocurrency scams, and deep fakes. Sections that are vague, particularly those that threaten digital rights, should be redefined with clearer language; launch nationwide, multilingual cybercrime awareness programs via traditional media, social media, and grassroots outreach. Engage religious and community leaders to disseminate messages in rural areas; invest in the training of law enforcement agents, prosecutors, and judges on digital forensics, cyber law, and electronic evidence management. Establish cybercrime labs in collaboration with academia and the private sector and develop and adopt protocols for the admissibility of digital evidence in court, ensuring that data is collected and preserved in accordance with global best practices.
