Abstract: Nigerian Pentecostal theology of prosperity has always been built around Tithing, Offering and Seed sowing with the attendant spill over effect on the mainline churches becoming more captivated in the practice. Even within the Pentecostal circles, the neo Pentecostals are steadily exerting a great deal of influence on the classical Pentecostals by enticing some of them to start preaching prosperity in the manner that the neo Pentecostals do. This article employs oral interview as well as phenomenological and expository approaches in its studies. It is discovered that prosperity preaching is currently becoming an important religious phenomenon in the Nigerian religious landscape leading to the skyrocketing of prosperity churches in contemporary Nigeria. The article submits that it is high time those who preach prosperity in Nigeria maintained a balance between their prosperity emphasis and salvation messages for the sake of people's souls.

Abstract: Change is the law of the nature. Nothing changes like change and today's trendy English language is also predisposed to the same. Every Language is a vivacious observable fact. Even though English has a critical nucleus of words which are elementary to sentence formation and have remained unswerving over centuries, there are also a good number of words which both penetrate and relinquish the language with the efflux of time, a straight mirror image of the obsession of society in any particular epoch. Some new words are momentary, coupled with educational or scientific concepts which become paler in implication and the rest hang about the itinerary, more often than not for the reason that they symbolize concepts which have developed into enduring attributes of civilization.

Abstract: North – Eastern region of India is one of the potential Hydro-Power regions of the country. This region consists of eight states; Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Mizoram, Manipur and Sikkim. India's vision to be a Developed Nation within 2020 (Vision 2020) is very much depended on uninterrupted supply of power and the North-Eastern region would play a vital role on it. North Eastern Region is enriched with huge water resources carried by the Brahmaputra-Barak and Irrawaddy river systems. The surface water resource of the region is near about 652.3 billion cubic meters that shares 34% of country's total water wealth whereas this entire region occupy only 8% of Indian land mass. Hydro potential of this region is 63257M.W, only 1911 megawatts has been harnessed so far which is only 3.02 % of its' hydro potential. Harnessing this huge hydro potential, North-East could become, 'The Power House of India'. This paper explores the history & growth of hydro power projects, present scenario of power generation, consumption and distribution patterns of the North-East India with highlighting the prospects and problems. Keywords: Brahmaputra-Barak River system, Ecological Issues, Hydro Potential, North-East India, Water Dispute,

Abstract: One of the human resource management problems which engulfed the public sector organizations in Nigeria was the absence of effective performance appraisal system. Subjective method of staff appraisal hitherto used in the Nigerian public sector emphasized only personal traits such as; drive, honesty, initiative, foresight, loyalty, industry and courage. This method posed human resource management problems, in the areas of promotion, wage increase, selection for training and retraining, job description and placement. As a result, the Nigerian public sector was rendered inefficient and ineffective thus hindering the progress of this important sector of the Nigerian system. However, in 1988 the Civil Service Reform prompted the introduction of target setting and performance appraisal system in the public sector organizations, which was based on "objective assessment, subject to measurable job performance and demonstration of professional competence with effective rewards and sanctions.

Abstract: Crimes against women have been increasing in recent days. The deep rooted patriarchal system of the society, gender discrimination, illiteracy, increased use of drugs, alcoholism, etc are some of the factors. The PNDT Act 1994 was put forth to protect the varied interest of women. Though this law gives many explanations to protect the female fetus, the loopholes in the judicial system allow many hospitals to reveal the sex of the fetus which in turn has lead to the increase of abortion in recent days. Similarly the delay in verdict of cases has led to fear among people. Therefore care should be taken to reduce the time in giving the judgment. Hence the present study traces few loopholes in the system.

Key Words: loopholes, crimes, PNDT Act, domestic violence,

Abstract: The idea of 'gender equity' in India is since Vedic age. Both man and woman are considered as an integral part of the society. The paper mentions how woman is powerful whether she belonged to Vedic age, medieval age or Modern age. She has proved her intellect and dignity in every age. Here her greatness lies because she never blamed men and patriarchal society alone for her agony and suppression. She has realized 'Life-force' that flows in her. India is one of the early countries in the world to give women the right to vote. India has more goddesses than any other religion. We find powerful women even in medieval age which is considered as 'the dark age' by European countries where women were like domesticated pets caged in the house. India has witnessed the 'energy' of woman in every part of country. We have dancers, poetesses, wives helping in administration of husbands, saints etc.

Abstract: Expectations for efficient Nigerian public enterprises have usually and variously been dashed. The reasons are understandable especially judging from the perspective that public enterprises, everywhere has no stimulus to efficiency. This is because the public enterprises have no regard for the community as they are constantly losing money and having to be subsidized by taxation and are subject to constant political interference and reversal of policies. But the need to have the public enterprises operate in the interest of the public; accountable through the responsible minister and the community; financially self-supporting and free from political interference is great because of its potency to reverse the poverty level of the people by first reducing unemployment and then ensuring national development by averting the erstwhile wasted resources invested in the Nigerian public enterprises. Thus, this paper seeks to identify how to make the Nigerian public enterprises work.
