Download or read book Perspectives on ICT4D and Socio Economic Growth Opportunities in Developing Countries written by Ndayizigamiye, Patrick and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2020-10-09 with total page 507 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technology has been hailed as one of the catalysts toward economic and human development. In the current economic era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, information acquisition, transformation, and dissemination processes are posed to be the key enablers of development. However, in the context of developing countries, there is a need for more evidence on the impact that ICT has on addressing developmental issues. Such evidence is needed to make a case for investments in ICT-led interventions to improve people’s lives in developing countries. Perspectives on ICT4D and Socio-Economic Growth Opportunities in Developing Countries is a collection of innovative research on current trends that portray the ICT and development nexus (ICT4D) from economic and human development perspectives within developing countries. While highlighting topics including mobile money, poverty alleviation, and consumer behavior, this book is ideally designed for economists, government officials, policymakers, ICT specialists, business professionals, researchers, academicians, students, and entrepreneurs.

Download or read book Flooding in Benue State Nigeria written by Susan Agada and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With progressively devastating consequences, flooding has become increasingly common in Nigeria, particularly in Benue State. In studying repeated flood disaster situations in this state, a discernable pattern may be identified in regard to the inadequate and sometimes complete absence of institutional response and recovery strategies. Despite the continued impacts flood disasters have on both humans and the environment in Nigeria, little research has explored in detail the social and political circumstances that foster these disaster situations. Earlier conceptualization of disasters as purely scientific events in disaster research, has since the early 1960s been replaced by a perspective which views disasters as systematic events having deep institutional roots with social catalysts that have incubated over long periods of time. This premise forms the basis of the social vulnerability approach, which asserts that in the assessment of hazards and disaster risks, the consideration of social vulnerability must be given equal importance as the purely physical or scientific criteria in evaluation. In adopting the social vulnerability approach, this research seeks to analyze the political and socio-economic circumstances within which flooding in Nigeria regularly occurs. The study takes as its point of departure, the 2012 flooding event. While the social vulnerability approach identifies the factors that engender vulnerable social circumstances, it does not analyze how these factors are created. This gap in the existing research creates a methodological challenge for those striving to link their empirical work to the conceptual work that is currently available. My research addresses this limitation in the existing disaster research literature by identifying and analyzing Institutional Neglect as the root of social vulnerability. Based on a case study methodology, the research adopts various qualitative methods including questionnaires, interviews, focus groups, and personal observations to understand how flooding disasters in Nigeria result from forms of social vulnerability that are rooted in Institutional Neglect. In this light, this research adopts a critical interdisciplinary orientation, especially in its engagement with Development Studies. This is because, ultimately, Institutional Neglect is a problem of development. As such, the introduction and conclusion chapters address the flooding within the context of development.
Download or read book Rural Violence in Contemporary Nigeria written by Usman A. Tar and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-14 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book explores the pressing problem of rural violence in contemporary Nigeria by assessing the changing patterns of conflict and response across the country. Rural violence in Nigeria is becoming an increasingly pressing concern, with cattle rustling, banditry, kidnapping and farmer-herder conflicts putting immense pressure on the state’s institutional preparedness and the response capacity of the government, military and other security agencies. Drawing from the expertise of a wide range of African development, governance and security researchers and practitioners, this book assesses the severity of the current problem of rural violence, and provides a critical analysis of the various national and state responses to rural violence in Nigeria. Ultimately, the book aims to provide suggestions for restoring peace, security and development in Nigeria. This book will be of interest to scholars, researchers and administrators across Political Science, Security Studies, Rural Studies, and Regional Studies in Africa.

Download or read book Personal Names and Naming from an Anthropological Linguistic Perspective written by Sambulo Ndlovu and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2023-08-07 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book fills a gap in the literature as it uniquely approaches onomastics from the perspective of both anthropology and linguistics. It addresses names and cultures from 16 countries and five continents, thus offering readers an opportunity to comprehend and compare names and naming practices across cultures. The chapters presented in this book explore the cultural significance of personal names, naming ceremonies, conventions and practices. They illustrate how these names and practices perform certain culture-specific functions, such as religion, identity and social activity. Some chapters address the socio-political significance of personal names and their expression of self and otherness. The book also links the linguistic structure of personal names to culture by looking at their morphology, syntax and semantics. It is divided into four sections: Section 1 demonstrates how personal names perform human culture, Section 2 focuses on how personal names index socio-political transitioning, Section 3 demonstrates religious values in personal names and naming, and Section 4 links linguistic structure and analysis of personal names to culture and heritage.
Download or read book Nigeria s Resource Wars written by Egodi Uchendu and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 900 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Nigeria’s Resource Wars' reflects on the diversity of conflicts over access to, and allocation of, resources in Nigeria. From the devastating effects of crude oil exploration in the Niger Delta to desertification caused by climate change, and illegal gold mining in Zamfara, to mention a few, Nigeria faces new dimensions of resource-related struggles. The ravaging effects of these resource conflicts between crop farmers and Fulani herders in Nigeria’s Middlebelt and states across Southern Nigeria call for urgent scholarly interventions; with the Fulani cattle breeders’ onslaught altering the histories of many Nigerian families through deaths, loss of homes and investments, and permanent physical incapacity. Currently, there is an almost total breakdown of interethnic relations, with political commentators acknowledging that Nigeria has never been so divided as it presently is in its history. The struggles have now degenerated into kidnaps, armed robbery, and incessant targeted and random killings across the country; compounding the already complex problem of insecurity in Nigeria. The chapters in this volume engage with these issues, presenting the different arguments on resource conflicts in Nigeria. They draw insights from similar conflicts in Nigeria’s colonial/post-independence past and events from around the world to proffer possible solutions to resource-related confrontations in Africa. By offering a collection of different intellectual perspectives on resource conflicts in Nigeria, this volume will be an important reference material for understanding the diversity of thought patterns that underpin the struggle and policy approaches towards resolving conflict situations in Africa. This volume will be of considerable interest to scholars of Africa, researchers in the humanities, social sciences, and conflict studies, and policymakers interested in understanding the resource crisis in Africa.
