Abstract: Irrespective of the significant position of museum to the human society, museum is still posed with some challenges which work against its growth and sustenance. Among these challenges are hazards in the museum. Most people would not like to visit or work in a place where their total safety is less guaranteed. This scenario has attracted safety considerations in the museum management. To this regard, this paper had an in-depth study on safety issues in museum management. Adopting the bulk of its primary data from a fieldwork report on Nri Museum in Anambra State of Nigeria, the paper made use of HaCEM analysis which enabled it to study hazards, causes, effects and measures with respect to the museum experience. To this end, possible causes of hazards (minor and major) in the museum, their causes (minor and major), their effects (external and internal) and their control measures (mitigating and eradicating), were unveiled and discussed in the paper. Such studies would improve safety standard of museums, especially Nigerian museums, which would invariably enhance the growth and sustenance of museum and its contribution to humanity.

Abstract: The discovery of crude oil in Nigeria in 1956 ushered in hope for economic prosperity and rapid developmental opportunities for the nation. Hence, in subsequent years, the Federal Government established the Nigerian National Oil Company (NNOC), a regulatory body to monitor and regulate oil production activities. However, the inefficiency and lapses in NNOC resulted in the emergence of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in 1977. Nonetheless, the new agency had been a subject of criticism consequent upon its inadequacy to manage, monitor and control oil production and accountability within and outside the country. The inefficiency over the years assumed an unprecedented progression which metamorphosed into sublime of sleaze in the Fourth Republic. It is in the light of this malfeasance that the discourse examines in historical perspective the decadence of decorum in NNPC in the Fourth Republic. The methodology is thematic, chronological and analytical making use of primary and secondary sources. The scholarly essay posited that NNPC under the ex-president, Olusegun Obasanjo's eight years in office witnessed the most scandalous sleaze the oil sector had ever experienced. The paper offered some caveats for NNPC operations in subsequent years if Nigeria must reap the reward ‒ in all ramifications ‒ of the oil discovery in 1956.

Abstract: Institutional reform and public financial management by means of decentralization and or regional autonomy policy has strengthened local council. Regional autonomy policy has given local council the strategic position by having several rights and privileges namely interpellation, inquiry, expressing opinion, protocol, administration and financial rights. Yet, institutional reform has not brought many changes toward the increase of local council performance. The implementation of regional autonomy itself also raises several issues such as corruption and budgetary mark-up which involve executive and local council.

Abstract: The paper seeks to analyse the provisions of the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC). The paper seeks to make this analysis based on the harmonisation and monism theories of the relationship between international law and municipal law which states that international pieces of law are essentially created to be domesticated within the municipal law of a state and vice versa. To this end, the ACRWC essentially acts as a blueprint for the facilitation of domestic measures and municipal law aimed at upholding children's rights in Africa. The ACRWC should then be an immaculate blueprint that can be followed by states so as to churn out domestic measures that are in the best interests of the child. The paper however seeks to assess whether there are vague, uncouth and contradictory articles within the provisions of the charter that might be interpreted by the states to the detriment of the rights of the African child.

Abstract: Zimbabwe at the turn of the 20th century has emerged as the main critic at the national level of neo-liberalism and its proponents. This has taken the form of not only confronting the agents at conference table but also formulating ideologies and policies that are largely an anti-thesis of the neo-liberal propositions. This has been a way of attempting to lessen poverty levels that has been rising with the end of the implementation of Structural Adjustment Programmes in 1996. However such behavior for Zimbabwe has generated overall condemnation and punishment from the neo-liberalism proponents in the form of ostracisation and sanctions. On the ground, instead of lessening poverty levels there has been an increased economic crisis thereby leading to rise in poverty levels. Methodologically, the research uses secondary sources in its theoretical examination of the origins of poverty. Other research methods like interviews will be used to collect evidence on the extent of poverty in Zimbabwe. The paper's major findings indicates that the cost of challenging neo-liberalism has been more visible economic decadence that brought gross inflation, unemployment, closure of industries and the spread of corruption. In essence it contributed to lag in development in all spheres of life. The paper exposes the hidden agendas behind such confrontations that will amount in overall policy failure at the expense of the majority who happens to be weak and vulnerable. In the final the paper proffers an alternative ideological and theoretical framework from which Zimbabwe can tackle poverty not only from the national scale but at community, household and individual level.

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine if there would be significant main and interaction influence of paranormal beliefs and culture on incidence of psychopathology among a non-psychotic population. A survey research was carried out using a purposive non-probability sampling method drawing the sample from two ethnic groups; Yoruba and Igbo. They consisted of two hundred and four respondents with 78 adolescent and 126 adults with the age range of 14 and 65 years, 103 male and 101 female, 132 Christians, 66 Muslims and 6 traditional religious adherents, 107 Yoruba and 98 Igbo; all of which attained the minimum educational level of Junior Secondary School Certificate, who responded to Revised Paranormal Belief Scale (Tobacyk, 1988) and the General Health Questionnaire (Goldberg, 1978).Using Factorial Design, 2 X 2 ANOVA and Independent t-test to analyse the data, results indicated that paranormal beliefs significantly influenced anxiety and depression dimensions of psychopathology. It was also revealed that there was a significant main influence of culture on anxiety and depression. Also observed was a significant difference between the two ethnic groups, Yoruba and Igbo, on paranormal belief and incidence of psychopathology. It was therefore concluded that paranormal beliefs and culture have significant main influence on incidence of psychopathological symptoms.

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to stipulate that the new mode of regulation of the economy must be understood in terms of cognitive capitalism. We will keep the idea that the dynamics of transformation which confronted modern societies are characterized by the fact that the accumulation increasingly wear on knowledge. First, we will explain and argue our position with reference to some stylized facts and essential breaks that characterize the crisis of industrial capitalism and the transition to immaterial capitalism. It will also issue to put into perspective the nature of new challenges that characterize the advent of immaterial capitalism. We will also study the problem behind the formulation of the hypothesis of cognitive capitalism and the way that, far from being opposed, proposes to address the shortcomings of an approach that finance the autonomous actor and principal of all current changes of capitalism. Moreover, rather than revolution, the knowledge economy recovers mechanisms of economic development studied since the classical authors. We will spot if this economy is the "paradise" promised to developing countries. A key point is reported on the issue of knowledge production. Often discussed bias, this production does not explain clearly enough potential levers of territorial public action. This observation motivates the development of a model of knowledge production. All these benchmarks will be developed in the second part. Keywords: Cognitive capitalism, Fordist model, Knowledge, ICT.

Abstract: Kiran Desai portrays a story which is thrillingly chaotic, pathetic and a life infused by the great American Dream and Globalization. This article aims to address the dismal sentiments and emotions of her mute immigrant characters that neither speak nor display their inner beings. She has attempted to present her heroic characters in a simplified way to achieve the basic goal of satiation. Their sufferings, pains, traumas and struggles in order to accomplish the desired facilities are worth appreciating. The article gives an insight into their sacrifices and dedication they render as to achieve their minimum wanting for a basic living. The paper also is designed to unravel the interior of the novel's characters as entwined with expectations and dreams to achieve the material zenith. The novel concludes by showing the major character Jemubhai, who was an embodiment and a puppet of rigid English ideals, realizing his false ideals for which he sacrificed so much.

Keywords: American dream, chaotic, heroic characters, satiation.
