CHALLENGES TO MANAGING DIVERSITY IN THE WORKPLACE. A STUDY OF ALEX EKWUEME FEDERAL UNIVERSITY TEACHING HOSPITAL ABAKALIKI (AE-FUTHA)

l. C. Okafor — 2025-12-08

This study investigated the challenges associated with managing diversity in the workplace, with specific focus on Alex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital Abakaliki (AE-FUTHA). The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between organizational culture, communication barriers, employee resistance on the one hand, and effective diversity management on the other. The study employed a descriptive survey design and relied solely on primary data collected through structured questionnaire administered to a stratified random sample of employees. A total of 370 copies of questionnaire were distributed, and 363 were returned valid, yielding a 98% response rate. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression to determine the strength and significance of the relationships among the variables. The findings revealed that there is no statistically significant relationship between organizational culture and diversity management (p = 0.339), and no significant relationship between employee resistance and diversity management (p = 0.843). However, the study found a weak but statistically significant negative relationship between communication barriers and effective diversity management (r = -0.152, p = 0.004), suggesting that communication challenges undermine diversity efforts at AE-FUTHA. The study aligns with existing literature which identifies communication barriers as a major hindrance to diversity management. The research concludes that while AE-FUTHA demonstrates an inclusive organizational culture and has mechanisms to handle resistance, communication remains a persistent challenge. It recommends the implementation of communication training programs, enhancement of internal dialogue among diverse groups, periodic evaluation of diversity policies, and leadership support to mitigate communication-related issues and promote a more inclusive workplace culture.

TRANSPORTATION LAND USE AND URBAN MOBILITY CRISIS IN ALIMOSHO, LAGOS STATE

Forson Ibrahim Abdul-Azeez — 2025-12-08

The rapid urbanization in Lagos has led to increased pressure on transport and its infrastructure services in the state due to its urban nature.This study examines the relationship that exists between the usage of land for transportation and the crisis that surrounds urban mobility by addressing in more context the complex relationship between transportation land use and urban mobility, specifically in Alimosho Local Government Area of the State. Adopting a quantitative approach, data was gathered through the primary source via a questionnaire that entails questions relating to the transportation land use and urban mobility experience of respondents that are commuters (99) and residents (85) totalling a sample size of 184, which was determined using the Cochran formular and the combination of random and purposive sampling techniques used for respondent selection. Data gathered was cleaned and quality checks was done, after which the descriptive and inferential statistics of the correlation analysis between variables such as the land use patterns and traffic congestion which is an urban mobility crisis, was done. Findings reveal that land use patterns, socio-economic characteristics, infrastructure of transport are factors that impact travel behaviour in the study area. Hence, implying that informed transport planning decisions must urgently be taken for seamless flow of movement and aversion of mobility crisis in the study area.

JUSTIFICATION OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF AFRICAN METAPHYSICS AGAINST THE THEORY OF LOGICAL POSITIVISM

Macaulay A. Kanu — 2025-12-08

This essay critically explores the justification of African metaphysics in response to the challenges raised by the theory of logical positivism. Logical positivism, with its verification principle, dismissed metaphysical discourse as meaningless since it could not be empirically verified or analytically proven. Such a stance has often been used to marginalize non-Western metaphysical traditions, including African philosophy, which emphasizes spiritual ontology, communal existence, and the unity of material and immaterial realities. The essay argues that African metaphysics remains philosophically valid, not only because logical positivism is internally inconsistent—its own verification principle cannot be empirically verified—but also because metaphysical categories are indispensable for meaning-making, identity, and ethical reasoning. Drawing upon the works of African philosophers such as PlacideTempels, John Mbiti, and Kwame Gyekye, the essay demonstrates that African metaphysics presents a holistic and context-sensitive account of reality that challenges the reductionism of positivist scientism. Ultimately, the discussion reaffirms the legitimacy of African metaphysics as a vital philosophical framework and highlights the importance of plural rationalities in global philosophical discourse.

SECURITY AND INVESTMENT DIPLOMACY AS NEW PARADIGM PHASES IN NIGERIA’S FOREIGN POLICY

Ayodele Haruna Mustapha — 2025-12-08

A nation’s foreign policy is central to its external relations with the entire world. The nature of such drive is piloted by the laid down objectives and principles that have been designed over the years. Nigeria’s foreign policy guideline that emerged in the 1960 sequel to her independence from Britain has been changing based on the dynamics of international politics, in the pursuit of her national interest both in bilateral and multilateral dimensions remains central to the African continent. It has evolved from Afrocentric, radical, conservative, economic diplomacy, shuttle, citizenship etc. The contemporary challenges of terrorism and insecurity in Nigeria and the world at large necessitated a new security diplomacy paradigm to navigate in the course of finding solutions to the problems as they affect the nation and the world in a view of securing her homeland, utilising her potential to provide stability, peace and prevent immediate and future threats to the people of Nigeria, while investment diplomacy, a reinvented concept/strategy to deploy and maximize the drive for financial and material resources to the advantage of her economic growth through foreign direct investment and capital flow. This paper posits interrogating reasons for insecurity challenges in Nigeria as they have corresponding effects on the world such as kidnapping, banditry, terrorism, piracy, crimes, human and drugs trafficking, youth unemployment, political instability and weak institutions of government and the deficit in investment diplomacy where foreign investors cannot invest in Nigeria, the burden of low investment, heavy external debts, lack of savings and income, huge external borrowing, fluctuation in crude oil earing and general economic crisis. The paper, therefore, attempts to provide policy options and recommendations in the area of security diplomacy, security forces in the management of the nation’s porous borders, aligning and the observance of international conventions and treaties in security and protocols with other states, sharing intelligence information and robust procurement of sophistication weapons to prevent criminal, address social crimes, invest in political stability, entrench human rights redefine and restructure national security policies and employ good governance indicators for the society, while on the part of investment diplomacy, pathways for investment inflows, and the attraction of foreign capital, the great premium on human resources and promotion of export trade. The paper makes use of secondary sources to elicit data for the paper, while it adopts investment theory as its theoretical framework to midwife the study.

PRAGMA-SEMANTIC ANALYSIS OF PERCEPTIVE VERBS IN ONICHA IGBOEZE DIALECT OF IGBO

Vincent Nwani Oti — 2025-12-08

This Study examined the Pragrma-semantic Analysis of Perceptive Verbs in Onicha Igboeze dialect of Igbo language. The research investigated how speakers of Onicha Igboeze Dialect of Igbo use perceptive verbs to construct meanings, negotiate social content based relationships and infer meanings in different contexts of language use. The study unveils how certain lexical items in Onicha Igboeze dialect can change in meaning as a result of their frequent use in a new context. The verbs involved are hu (see), le (look at), nu (hear),ge (listen), metu (touch), nu uto (taste), and nu isi (smell). The primary data were purposively collected through elicitation from native speakers of Onicha Igboeze in Onicha LGA of Ebonyi State, Nigeria while the Secondary data were collected from books, journals, newspapers and online works. The study adopted cognitive semantics which observes that words can take different meanings from earlier meanings as a result of use in different contexts. Therefore, the study analyzes the semantic fields associated with perceptive verbs, pragmatic inference and contextualization. The findings of this research contribute to our understanding of the grammar and pragma-semantics of Onicha Igboeze dialect of Igbo language via pragma-semantic analysis.

FACE-THREATENING ACTS AND (IN)CIVILITY IN NIGERIAN POLITICAL EXCHANGES

Jeremiah Anene Nwankwegu — 2025-12-08

This paper examines how Nigerian federal executive spokespersons respond to opposition criticism through face-threatening acts and (in)civil linguistic strategies. Focusing on two high-profile exchanges (between Atiku Abubakar and Bayo Onanuga, and between Osita Chidoka and Festus Keyamo) the study analyzes public statements sourced from X (Twitter) and online media using a Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) framework combined with the notion of face and face-threatening acts. The analysis identifies recurrent grammatical and discursive features such as complex sentence structures, rhetorical questions, evaluative and pejorative lexis (e.g. “fallacy packaged as truth,” “warped statement,” “desperate attempt”), and accusations of hypocrisy and lack of patriotism. These features perform direct and indirect threats to the critics’ positive face (their desire to be respected and seen as credible) and, at times, to their identity as patriots. While the responses maintain a formal tone and institutional register, they are underpinned by hostility and adversarial positioning that foreground personal attacks over substantive policy engagement. The paper argues that these patterns exemplify a form of “formalised incivility,” where official discourse retains surface politeness while normalising antagonistic and delegitimising moves. It concludes that such discursive practices erode democratic civility, deepen polarization, and calls on public office holders to re-centre their responses on issues and evidence rather than ad hominem attacks.

A STYLISTIC STUDY OF CODESWITCHING IN CHIMAMANDA NGOZI ADICHIE’S PURPLE HIBISCUS

Eno Inyang Etuk — 2025-12-08

This study presents a stylistic analysis of code-switching expressions in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's novel: Purple Hibiscus. Through a qualitative approach, the study examines the linguistic functions of code-switching expressions in the novel, exploring how Adichie employs these expressions to enhance overall comprehension of the text. The study adopts Donald Freeman’s theory of “Linguistic Stylistics” as its theoretical framework. The theory emphasizes a stylistic analysis of a text based on “scientific rules” of language. Such rules will embrace the lexical, grammatical, figurative, and contextual categories of the text. It essentially concerns the use of language and its effects in a text. Therefore, this study analyses the use of code-switching expressions in Adichie's Purple Hibiscus, revealing the expressions as powerful linguistic devices which enables Adichie to capture and sustain the attention of her audience, particularly the Igbo-speaking audience. The study contributes to the understanding of code-switching as a stylistic feature in literary texts, highlighting its role in the overall comprehension of the text.

SHELL PETROLEUM COMPANY AND ITS CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY IN OGONILAND OF RIVERS STATE

Blessing Joy Owan — 2025-12-08

This research critically examines the impact of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on the performance of Shell Petroleum Development Company (SPDC), with a specific focus on its operations in Ogoni Land, Nigeria. The study was prompted by the persistent dissatisfaction and agitation among host communities over the perceived failure of multinational oil companies to fulfill their social responsibilities. In particular, the conflict-ridden relationship between SPDC and the Ogoni people has raised significant concerns about the effectiveness, sincerity, and implementation of CSR policies. The research aims to evaluate the extent of SPDC’s CSR engagement, identify the challenges impeding its effective execution, assess the nature of SPDC’s relationship with host communities, and analyze the environmental implications of SPDC’s activities. Drawing on a qualitative methodology that included,case reviews, the study revealed that CSR in the Nigerian oil sector, particularly by SPDC, has been largely inadequate and reactive rather than proactive. The company’s neglect of its social responsibilities has exacerbated tensions, fostered mistrust, and led to environmental degradation, which in turn has intensified hostility from host communities. Findings indicate that the absence of a structured, community-inclusive approach to CSR has not only undermined SPDC’s corporate image but also hindered sustainable development in Ogoni. The study concludes that for SPDC to achieve its operational and strategic objectives, it must prioritize community engagement, environmental protection, employment opportunities, and infrastructure development. Harmonious coexistence and mutual respect between SPDC and its host communities, supported by government oversight, are essential for long-term stability and success.

CRITICAL THINKING AND THE QUEST FOR NATIONAL INTEGRATION IN NIGERIA

M. A Kanu — 2025-12-08

This paper upholds that national integration is a pivotal element for the stability and progress of any nation, especially a diverse and culturally rich country like Nigeria. Drawing on existing literature and empirical evidence, the paper examines the concept of critical thinking and its relevance to addressing the underlying factors hindering national integration. The importance of cultivating critical thinking skills among citizens as a means to challenge stereotypes, prejudices, and divisive narratives that perpetuate disunity were specifically pinpointed and analysed. Furthermore, the paper examines the current state of national integration in Nigeria, identifying key barriers such as ethno-religious tensions, regional disparities, and political fragmentation. It underscores the need for proactive measures to promote inclusive dialogue, respect for diversity, and a shared national identity. Using the method of philosophical analysis and argumentation, the paper suggests strategies for integrating critical thinking into educational curricula, public discourse, and policymaking processes. It also emphasizes the role of educational institutions, media, civil society, and government in fostering a culture of critical inquiry, empathy, and understanding across diverse communities. The paper submits that the promotion of critical thinking skills among Nigerians is essential for transcending divisive identities and forging a cohesive national identity rooted in mutual respect, empathy, and collective aspirations for a prosperous and unified Nigeria.

A SOCIO-RELIGIOUS INTERROGATION OF THE USE AND MISUSE OF ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION AMONG THE ADULTS OF EBONYI LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF EBONYI STATE

Basil Chiedozie Okoye — 2025-12-08

This study investigates the socio-religious dimensions influencing the use and misuse of alcohol among adults in Ebonyi Local Government Area of Ebonyi State. Guided by Social Learning Theory and Religious Commitment Theory, the study aims at examining the cultural and social factors that promote alcohol consumption, religious doctrines surrounding its use, the extent and patterns of misuse, and the consequences as well as the role of religious institutions in mitigating alcohol-related problems. The research adopts a descriptive survey design. A structured questionnaire based on a 4-point Likert scale was administered to a sample of 400 respondents, selected through multi-stage sampling. Data were analyzed using mean scores. The findings reveal that alcohol consumption is strongly linked to cultural traditions and social norms, including peer influence and hospitality practices. Religious institutions discourage alcohol misuse and play significant roles in creating awareness, though their rehabilitation efforts remain limited. The study concludes that alcohol misuse in the area is a product of cultural permissiveness and inadequate intervention and recommends stronger collaboration between religious bodies, health agencies, and the government to curb the trend.
