Abstract: The Montesquieuan separation of powers (SOPs) was formulated as a problem-solving theory in 1748 to resolve corruption of power. Doing this, a desk review discourse methodology was adopted to interrogate the fundamentals of the theory including review of pertinent literature and selected governance realities. The diagnostic social science approach was approved to do this, to which its first principles is that, all political theories are subject to review and amenable to improvement; hence the endeavour at redefinition and reconceptualization. If anything, the evident modifications of democracy in practice in varied forms demonstrate its variability where it has....

Abstract: Many appear to hold that many things are going wrong in the contemporary African world and that many things must change quickly if African peoples must develop and evolve a quality civilization which will bring about social and cultural transformation for increased well being of Africans. This desire has been expressed under various names like "African Renaissance". It is the contention of this article that if contemporary Africa must attain this expected transformation and renewal, she must pursue the conquest of knowledge that is, embarking on the project of production and mobilization of effective relevant qualitative and quantitative knowledge.

Abstract:Social order determines peace and stability in any polity, its absence jeopardizes peace and harmony and close avenues for any investment, attraction, patronage and development. This paper examines Branding and Peace in Africa arising from social and political instability assumed to have resulted from socio-cultural challenges occasioned by the cultural influences that Africa had suffered as a colonized continent without due consideration to African cultural values. This paper therefore, considers the import of African Cultural Values, which is a leeway to Branding Africa. The study adopts a historical research method reviewing past African experiences and social systems. As a result, it relies on both primary and secondary source of data to elicit the study. However, the challenge of peace in Africa calls for branding......

Abstract: The study examined the linguistic features of the persuasive language employed by advertisers to lure customers/clients to their products and services. The researchers examined the linguistic features, figurative devices and the connotative use of language employed in advertisements. Using the research theories of content analysis and cognitive response as models of analysis, the researchers analysed 50 on-line advertisements from Access and Stanbic IBTC Banks. It was discovered that the advertisers used linguistic features such as adjectives, imperatives, questions, colloquialisms, syntactic parallelism to attract the attention of customer/clients and appeal to their emotions. Also the findings showed that these strategies were very creative, artistic and innovative. The linguistic feature....

Abstract: Using ethnic and global DNA databases, as well as genealogical records, we investigated the ancestry of the First Families of Virginia. We show that most of the families for whom data are available are likely to have been of Sephardic or Ashkenazic Jewish ancestry. These families engaged in endogamy (i.e., marrying within the group) upon arriving in the Virginia Colony, which indicates they may have been aware of their ancestry and sought to perpetuate their ethnic heritage
