Drug addiction and marital conflicts
Recent studies have shown that women now abuse drugs as much as men. Women even abuse certain kinds of drugs more than men. There is strong evidence that some married women also engage in drug abuse. However, few studies have explored the experiences of drug addicted wives in Nigeria in relation to marital conflicts. In this study, the experiences of drug addicted wives were explored in relation to marital conflicts in Nigeria using a phenomenolo…
Decolonization of Higher Education in South Africa
Western education still dominates the education terrain across Africa. For some people, the dominance is nothing but ‘academic imperialism,’ which is believed to have relegated African scholars to mere conduits of knowledge through which European and American scholarship and interests are protected and promoted. Consequently, a dissident voice is resonating in the African educational system, particularly South African education system, demanding …
Loneliness and psychological well-being among the elderly in Buffalo City, South Africa
This study examined the correlation between loneliness and four dimensions of psychological well-being (PWB) of old people in South Africa as they vary by their socio-demographic characteristics. Respondents were a non-probability/random sample of 301 elderly in Buffalo City, South Africa (female = 69.1%, male = 30.9%; mean age (old age home /private home) = 75.43 /74.39 years, SD (old age home /private home) = 7.25 /7.68 years; black = 57.9%, wh…
New Media and Adolescents’ Sexual Behaviour in Sub-Sahara Africa
Like the rest of the world, the new media are aiding and promoting speedy and easy access to information among adolescents in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), especially those in the urban centers who are of middle and upper class categorization. However, the new media are equally avenues for African adolescents to learn and develop antisocial behaviors. This article tries to interrogate the interconnectedness between the new media and adolescents’ sexu…
Perceptions of Traditional Male Circumcision among University Male Students at a South African University
In the past decade, traditional male circumcision, known as ulwaluko among the Xhosa-speaking people in the Eastern Cape Province, has become a burning issue in South Africa. The discourse has led to the emergence of two opposing camps: the supporters of ulwaluko who rely on 'traditional ideology' to justify the cultural relevance of the practice, and the opposing camp who believe that ulwaluko is no longer in tandem with the reality of the twent…
A 'nation' in wilderness
Prior to and immediately after independence, young Nigerians, under different political and intellectual platforms, had individually and collectively instituted and succeeded in fostering progressive change in the Nigerian polity, most times without being violent and destructive. Through these platforms, they were able to checkmate and monitor the excessiveness of the ruling elites. However, it appears that such spirit of nation-building and patr…
Ibn Khaldun
In the 14th century, Ibn Khaldun (1332–1406) propounded sociological ideas similar to those of classical sociologists such as Auguste Comte (1798–1857), Emile Durkheim (1858–1917), Ferdinand Tonnies (1855–1936) and Karl Marx (1818–1883). He attempted to study and understand human society by using scientific methods of enquiry. However, Ibn Khaldun's name and contributions to modern sociology are apparently missing from most Western sociological t…

Roles of Traditional Healers in the Fight Against HIV/Aids
HIV/AIDS is not just a regional but global challenge. Globally, about 40 million people are living with HIV/AIDS with 70 per cent living in the continent of Africa. Antiretroviral drugs have not yielded deserving results in checking the menace of the disease. Thus there is the need for a complementary measure to check the spread of HIV/AIDS. This paper examines the role of traditional healers and their product in the management and prevention of …
Interaction of Zinc and Other Metal on the Activity of Erythrocyte Δ=amino-Levulinic Acid Dehydratase in Vitro
The interaction of zinc and other metal such as lead, mercury (II), cadmium, silver (II) on the activity of erythrocyte delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALA-D) was investigated in vitro. At the concentrations ranging from 0.01 to 1.0 mmol/l, lead, mercury (II), cadmium and silver (II) strikingly inhibited the erythrocyte ALA-D activity. The in vitro addition of zinc having an activating effect for the erythrocyte ALA-D, was observed to elim…
