Abstract: The over-centralization of Nigerian federalism stifles the creativity of the federating units and neglects the inclusion and welfare of the citizens. The current surge in the demands for reforms through restructuring will not find adequate response in constitutional measures. This article supports the adoption of an innovative approach called non-constitutional renewal which is consistent with the inherent character of federalism, being creatively flexible. This approach fits into the mould of competitive federalism, with its disposition for experimentation laboratories on innovative policymaking. The South-South Nigeria has historically blazed and demonstrated innovative paths. Driven by both its historical incentive and fiscal resource endowment, the region has, following the competitive federalism framework, charted a new way of building an integrated economic bloc among subnational states as a development centre. This article examines the driving principles behind this initiative and the extent of its parlay successes across Nigeria.

Abstract: Personality and academic self-concepts are both likely to play significant roles in influencing academic achievement. Three hundred sixty undergraduate students completed the Five Factor Inventory, Academic Self-concept Inventory and reported their grade point average. Three of the Big Five traits, conscientiousness, openness and agreeableness, were positively related with all the four measures of academic self-concept, whereas neuroticism was negatively related with all the four measures. In addition, extraversion was positively related only with non-reiterative processing. The Big Five together explained 21% of the variance in grade point average (GPA), and academic self-concept explained an additional 5%, suggesting that both personality traits and academic self-concept contribute to academic performance. Further, the relationship between three of Big Five traits namely..............

Abstract: The Pen is a mean of science, learning, and transferring science, where Allah Ta'ala explained of what is concerning of the Pen or "by the pen" in the fourth verse of Sūrat al-ʻAlaq. This is like Allah's saying; "Who has taught by the pen". Ibn al-Qayyim-may Allah have mercy- said; "with pen, science is immortal and without writing, the news of some of the times is interrupted". From here, the importance of the pen and the pen boxes were specified, as well as the attention for the quality of the raw material from which pen were manufactured, likewise the variety of ornament and materials used in decoration. So, the analytical and artistic study of the three unpublished pen boxes preserved in the Museum of the faculty of Applied Arts -Helwan University will reflect and clarify the value and importance of the scientific life in Islamic Egypt.
