My Mother Persuaded Me to Have More Children”, Understanding the Influence of Social Network on Fertility Behavior in Sub-Saharan Africa
Introduction: Despite the adoption of an antenatal demographic transition model in sub-Saharan Africa, population growth continues to soar in the region. The reasons for population growth are nebulous and should be approached from different perspectives. Inadequate attention has been paid to how social pressures shape reproductive behavior. Thus, this study examines the association between social networks and fertility behavior in sub-Saharan Afr…
Association between Education and Intra-Regional Variation on Child Marriage in Sub-Saharan Africa
Child marriage is a bane to sustainable development, as it has been associated with the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases, intimate partner violence, and maternal mortality. This study examines the association between education and child marriage is sub-Saharan Africa. A subsample of one thousand, four hundred and sixty-one females, aged 12 years to 18 years was extracted from the 2018 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey dataset. The …
Decolonizing Cultural Probes in Ethnographic Research
The epistemological positioning that frequently validates the application of cultural probes in eliciting detailed exploration of phenomenon has not been sufficiently interrogated. Yet the epistemological assumptions behind the value of cultural probes continue to be drummed up and foisted on Africa’s emerging ethnographic researchers who actually need to be a bit more critical in its adoption and application. This conceptual paper explores the e…
Trap in the Closet
Intimate partner violence is a threat to achieving Sustainable Development Goal 5 by 2030. The challenge of intimate partner violence is prevalent among immigrants. However, little is known about the peculiarity of intimate partner violence in intra-ethnic marriages, especially among immigrants within sub-Saharan Africa. This study examined the factors contributing to intimate partner violence among Senegalese immigrants who live in Nigeria. It a…
Liminality and Child Labour
Background: Liminality brings confusion among children as they cannot progress to the next stage of life, neither could they regress to their previous state of events. The situation is precarious for socioeconomic deprived children in Africa as it cast aspersion on their career, health and well-being. The study, therefore, examines the experiences' of children who were supposed to be in school but were observed working at the informal market spac…
Impact of mothers’ socio-demographic factors and antenatal clinic attendance on neonatal mortality in Nigeria
Neonatal death is often referred to maternal complications during pregnancy, and other exogenous factors that exist around the time of birth or shortly after birth. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG)-Goal 3, Targets 3.2 aimed at ending preventable deaths of newborns by demanding that all countries should reduce neonatal mortality to 12 per 1000 live births by 2030. The objective of the study was to examine the relationship b…
Trends in maternal health facilities utilization and women’s autonomy in Nigeria (2013-2018)
Maternal health has emerged as a global priority because of a significant gap in the status of the mother’s wellbeing between the developed and the less developed countries. Women’s equality and empowerment are one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, aimed at ending and eliminating all forms of discrimination and violence against women and girls both in public and private spheres. The Decision-making power of women is one of the essential fa…
Evaluation of the community development practitioners' professional development programme
Although resources are invested in maintaining the professional standards, knowledge, and skills of community development practitioners (CDPs), research has not established if they have benefited adequately from the provisions of an appropriate professional development programme. The Stufflebeam’s CIPP model was used to evaluate this, which is the first exercise of its kind in South Africa. This qualitative study reports on the circumstances asso…
The “Kgotla” as a Community Heritage Resource for Mitigating Social Isolation and Loneliness among Tswana-Speaking Elderly South Africans
Studies of the Tswana culture and language abound. However, incisive studies directed at the Kgotla as a community heritage resource that had been contributing towards social stability mediated by traditional intergenerational relationships among the Tswana-speaking South Africans are not common. This paper examines how the Kgotla’s inter-group communications capacity and capability mitigates social isolation and loneliness among elderly Tswana-s…
Needed Research in Intergenerational Pathways for Strengthening Communities in Sub-Saharan Africa
This study is intended to fill the gaps that exist in the scholarship on the kind of research that would be needed now in attempts that are being made to explore intergenerational pathways for strengthening communities in Sub-Saharan Africa. It examines existing research on the subject in terms of its quantity and quality in order to find ways of promoting intergenerational policies and practices in the region and attempts to confirm the common a…
The HIV and Aids Epidemic and the Challenge Posed to University Education Excellence in Sub-Saharan Africa
The HIV and AIDS epidemic definitely impacts on the provision of quality education in universities in Sub-Saharan Africa. For the intellectual capacity and human resource development efforts of the sub-continent are being reduced in effects and value. Both staff and students are dying, and the previous aspirations and expectations that hitherto accompanied investments in higher education are almost dashed and some have gone to the extent of even …
African Proverbs as a Medium of Fostering Intergenerational Relationships and Communication in the Niger Delta, Nigeria
This brief paper examines, from the point of view of ethnography, how the African proverbs selected from the Niger Delta of Nigeria have been used in fostering intergenerational relationships discourse in a globalizing world. This discussion adopts the ethnographic approach in exploring the meaning and functions aims, structures and the delivery modes of African proverbs used in intergenerational relationships as our peoples struggle with the thr…
Keynote 3. Living in the Valley of Death
In 2003 alone, HIV/AIDS killed more than three million people, of which between 2.2 and 2.4 million were from Sub-Saharan Africa. This disease is having a devastating effect on the previously firm foundations of intergenerational relationships in affected countries. For many nations in Africa, Asia and South America, life has become a mirage, a paradox in which almost everything is overshadowed by the pangs of death. Poverty, HIV/AIDS and, surpri…
Transformations over Time in Generational Relationships in Africa
Generational transformations over historical time and space in Africa have featured a mixture of the “good” and the “bad.” The valuable interactions and relationships that endured in our traditional communities typify the good. The bad, on the other hand, is typified by the alterations that our cultures have witnessed as a result of profound and, sometimes, negatively influencing foreign contacts that have put in jeopardy whatever we had cherishe…
Intergenerational Practices and Possibilities Related to the HIV/Aids Pandemic in Botswana and Nigeria
The future of Botswana and Nigeria hangs precariously on the balance of life and death. In recent years, the latter seems to be winning as both countries face the devastation of their middle generation due to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. Neither country can afford to simply watch their populations be depleted at such an alarming rate. This paper seeks to propose how an intergenerational framework might be applied to this situation with the hope that in…
Globalization and lifelong education
The global phenomenon called globalization frequently offers justifications for socio-economic and political actions aimed at bringing rapidly into fruition the ‘Global Village’ which Marshall McLuhan had anticipated decades ago. Both the 1972 UNESCO sponsored Commission Report chaired by Edgar Faure and that of 1996 chaired by Jacques Delors produced important documents which, as at other times, reviewed issues and priorities in education worldw…
Emerging adult education frontiers and their implications for research
This paper attempts a brief analysis of the present global flux which has induced a broadening of the field of adult education which in turn has tried to respond. In attempting to respond to global flux, adult education has taken on additional concepts which we have here deliberately tagged emerging frontiers. Bearing these changes in mind, the paper proceeds with an examination of the emerging frontiers in adult education and their implications …
