Abstract: The paper was an examination of good governance at the local government level in Nigeria. The research methodology was essentially exploratory and therefore, depended on secondary data for the examination of issues of local government administration and good governance. The interest in good governance at this level of government arose out of the continued hue and cry of poor performance of the third tier of government which has attracted many conferences, workshops and dialogues about the future of this level of government. The paper explored good governance and found it to contain three essential elements-citizen participation, accountability and transparency.

Abstract: In the past, the world admired leadership in African societies. Individualism had no place in Africa. Africans were regarded worldwide as people who promoted togetherness in society. NyerereJulias (1968:1), the president of Tanzania describes it as "Ujamaa in Kiswahili, meaning "familihood‟. This is an African understanding of socialism. However, today this situation has greatly changed. Misunderstandings are many; the focus on blood relationships, tribe, religion, gender, age, class, colour tends to dominate as the expense of the common good of all members of society. This study is a reflection on "Leadership in Africa: An instrument of family pastoral care ministry‟. On the continent there is so much child neglect, power struggles, human migration, violence and loss of lives..............

Abstract: This study aims to find out the Indian perception of the 45th President of the United States - Donald J. Trump, through the survey method of research. Trump has built a friendly relationship with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The United States is a beneficiary to the Indian IT sector, has a good trading relationship with India and is home to more than two million Indians. So any decision made with regard to immigration, defense, and trade by President Trump will affect them. Thus, there is a need to find out the opinion of the Indian public with regard to this new, unpredictable President, who constantly flip-flops on his policies, as any decision made will determine the future of Indians living in the United States and those in their home country.
