The focus of the study was to examine the impact of Worshippers satisfaction on the switching behaviour of Christian students and also to examine the factors (pastor's message, fellowship environment, special programmes, and spiritual support) that motivate worshippers to worship in a particular fellowship. The study used the survey method by administering copies of structured questionnaire to185undergraduate Christian students of University of Benin, Benin City. The data for the study were analyzed using both descriptive statistics such as simple percentages and mean, while inferential statistics (linear regression) was used with the help of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 22. The research revealed that the rate of worshippers´ switching intention is low in the University of Benin (UNIBEN). This is shown by the switching intention rate of 26.49%; Worshippers consider the following factors (in a descending order): Pulpit Ministry, Spiritual support, Special Programmes, Music Ministry and Fellowship environment as the reasons for switching intention. Fellowship environment is a statistically significant determinant of worshippers´ switching intention in the University of Benin, factors such as Pulpit ministry, special programmes, music ministry and spiritual support are not significant factors that influence worshippers´ switching intention in the University of Benin (UNIBEN); and Demographic variables such as gender, age, level and unit membership, do not significantly influence worshippers´ switching intention.

Seismic interpretation data and applications are the key element of a rapid technological evolution in the remote sensing of the subsurface maps that has resulted in geoscientists movement from data poor to data rich Stewart, S. A. 1999. The proliferation of subsurface data has profoundly affected the productivity of oil exploration of industry within last two decade. This is radically improved of the ability to predict what lies beneath the earth surface, exploration and production. The objectives of subsurface petroleum geology are to find and develop oil and gas reserves. These objectives are best achieved by the use and integration of all available data and the correct application of these data. The purpose of subsurface mapping in the geology of petroleum Is to find traps that contain oil and gas pools and the information obtained from wells forms the heart of the data upon which subsurface geology depends, other information are obtained from:
(i) Geophysical surveys. (ii) Pressure and temperature surveys. (iii) The production history of producing oil and gas pools.

The aim of this study is to find out the influence of classroom population, attitude on students ‘achievement in Biology in some selected secondary in Oredo Local Government area of Edo state. This study reviewed works of several authors. To guide the study, four research questions were raised which are outlined thus: Does classroom Population of secondary school affect students’ achievement in Biology? Does population of classroom affect the achievement of students’ in Biology along gender? Does classroom Population influence the formative evaluation of Biology lessons? Does student’s attitude influence their academic achievement in Biology? From these four research questions 20 items were raised in the questionnaire to gather the data for this study and the questionnaire was subject to a test re-test method of reliability and a reliability coeficient of0.86 was obtained. The data collated were analyzed using the simple percentage and frequency counts. The findings from the study include: classroom population affects students’ achievement; population does not affect the achievement of students’ across gender; majority of the population agreed that students’ who concentrate more in class perform better than those who do not. And from the findings it can be concluded that that population influence the formative evaluation of Biology lessons and this is as a result of the overpopulated students whom the teacher cannot manage easily.

This study examined the adoption and implication of digitalization on accounting practices in Nigeria. This study made use of a casual comparative research design, this design was employed to aid the investigation and survey analysis of this study variables which are ex post facto in comparing the variables. The data analysis involved the use of frequency, percentage, descriptive statistics, and simple linear regression to examine the data and assess the hypotheses. The significance level considered was set at 5%. Additionally, Cronbach's Alpha statistics were applied to evaluate the data's reliability for this research. Findings from the study revealed that audit purchase (AP) was found to produce an increase output result with digitalization having a positive impact of 0.023 (23%) and 0.000 P-value proving it to be statistically significant at 0.005 (95%), tax services performance was found to have an increasement of 17.1% when digitalization is adopted showing that digitalization has a significant impact at 0.000 confidence interval when measuring at 5%, digitalization was also found to help in promoting efficiency in financial advisory performance with the test showing an improved (26.6%) and 0.000 P-value proving it to have a significant effect at 5% confidence level, and efficiency, accountability and compliance in accounting practices which is one of the fundamental aims of accounting profession was found to improve with digitalization with 89.4% percent and 0.000 P-value. This shown a positive and significant impact of digitalization on this variable. The study recommended that since digitalization has a significant impact on audit purchase, digitalization should be given more merit and emphasis by organization to promote more of electronical sales and purchase records, sales and purchase software and template should be put in place by accounting bodies to promote use of digital keeping of invoices, receipt and most especially digital stock valuation to help improve automatic calculating audit purchases tool, and tax service performance which in past 10 years have been a supportive economy driven tools for government revenue creation. There has been different introduction of tools by government in improving tax administrative service performance and promoting tax payer’s compliance.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of watering regime and potting media on the growth of Amaranthus cruentus. The experiment was carried out at the Screenhouse of the Department of Crop Science, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Benin. The treatments includes: Top soil, Top soil amended with Trichoderma, Topsoil
amended with Cow dung, Watering1 (daily watering), Watering2 (watering every two days), Watering3 (watering every three days) and Watering4 (watering every four days)were fitted in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) replicated three times. Data was analyzed using one way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). Results of this study showed significant difference (p < 0.05) on watering regime and potting media. The different watering regime did not positively affect the growth of Amaranthus cruentus as the growth parameters were similar across the different watering regimes. Untreated top soil
produced the highest mean values for all growth parameters measured and the lowest was observed with the top soil amended with Trichoderma. Further research is recommended to explore the specific mechanisms through which top soil enhances growth of Amaranthus cruentus
