The development challenges of Nigeria’s oil-rich region – the Niger Delta
– have remained palpable. It has also necessitated many debates from different
ideological perspectives. The much attention received stems from the fact that the
Niger Delta is a region blessed (cursed) with huge human and natural resources, but
has remained perpetually poor. That is the basis for the now-cacophonic paradox in
the region: wealthiest but penurious. Many reasons have been adduced for the
existence of this paradox but very little attention has been given to the impacts of the
character of Nigerian post-colonial state on the development issues of the region. It is
against this backdrop that this paper attempted an investigation into the relationship
between the nature of Nigerian state, its form of federalism and the demonstrable
development challenges of the Niger Delta. In conducting this investigation, Marxian
Political Economy Approach was adopted as the theoretical framework in order to
historicise the emergence of Nigerian post-colonial state with a view to ascertaining
the factors responsible for its characterisation as deformed-capitalist. As a largely
desk study, data were mainly obtained from secondary sources which included such
documents as journals, textbooks and articles in addition to internet resource
materials. Content analysis of the data revealed that the deformed-capitalist nature of
Nigerian post-colonial state partly manifests in its distorted federalism which has
furthered the development of underdevelopment in the Niger Delta. The paper
therefore recommended the restructuring of Nigeria’s federal system, tantamount to
the implementation of real fiscal federal principles which are instrumental to the
development of federations like United States of America and states like Alaska. In
other words, resource control was highly advocated.

An important milestone in the history of blood transfusion was the discovery of the ABO blood groups by Karl Landsteiner, followed by discovery of Rh (D) antigen. Landsteiner’s achievements lead to several discoveries in the field of immunohaematology. The ABO blood group is useful in selecting the appropriately matched blood group during blood transfusion, organ transplantation, finding out
association of blood groups and diseases etc. ABO blood group system classifies blood groups of people into four different types namely A, B, O and AB. The need for the study of frequency distribution of blood group is multipurpose. This study was done to know the frequency distribution of blood groups among first year medical students. This study was conducted on 100 medical students in the Department of Physiology at CAIMS medical college in Karimnagar Telangana state. The blood samples were collected by finger prick method. ABO blood grouping and Rhesus factors (Rh) typing determined by glass slide method. Out of total 100 medical students who volunteered, 30 were males and 70 females. In our study, the most frequently occurring blood group was O ( 42%) followed by B group (29%), A group 17% ) and AB group(12% ) . 81% students were Rh positive whereas only 19% were Rh negative. This study may enable us to contact individuals belonging to a particular blood group at times of medical emergencies when blood transfusion is required.

missing maxillary lateral incisor whose missing lateral incisor tooth was rehabilitated
using a dental implant which was restored with cemented e-max crown over gold
abutment. As the patient is a young female and the implant was in the aesthetic area,
placing immediate provisional restoration was the chosen method of restoration. The
case reported presented illustrates a therapeutic strategy consisting of implant
placement and immediate provisionalization. The treatment sequences were followed as
recommended in the dental protocol. First, A maxillary surgical stent was prepared for
the correct implant position, a submerged maxillary anterior single-tooth implant
placed according to a standard protocol 3.5mmx10mmTC Prima Implant in the area of
tooth 12. The implant’s shoulder was placed 2 mm apical to the cemento‐enamel
junction of the adjacent teeth. Thereafter immediate temporization was done in two
stages. First stage immediately after the implant placement then 3 months after. Lastly,
a consistent and suitable follow-up program was applied. Conclusion: When sensibly
selected and accomplished, our case report outcome indicates that this technique may
provide promising immediate results relative to the aesthetic, maintenance and stability
of the peri-implanted tissues as well as patients’ satisfaction, expectation and

Elaborated on an otherization-based attitude, this article fends off the gloomy and shaky curtain of a reciprocal hate to spotlight the pang and travail which, indeed, turn the relationship between the colonizer and the colonized into a pugilistic day by day set-to. In his main right stuff to wedge apart the indigenous’ in-groupness spirit, the strangers from afar shake asunder the Canvas that fuel and abet the villagers’ topmost grit and mettle to stand against a bleak and threadbare existence. This being, the thought process browses through the abstruse questions of crime and guilt in a reference frame of colonization in Kenya and Nigeria. Likewise, the blueprint of poetic justice sounds like a clear-cut voice that meets justice in the name and by dint of a people’s cohesiveness and one-ness.

10.21276/sjhss.2018.3.11.3
Solid waste management has emerged as one of the greatest challenges
facing environmentalprotection agencies and the communities in developing countries
and the increasing waste generation has become a topic of water pollution and
environmental concern in the metropolis.This study seeks to evaluate the management
of solid waste in Lagos State and proffers workable solutions to these challenges
which will improve environmental sustainability.In this study, solid waste
management challenges are characterized by inefficient collection methods,
insufficient coverage of the collection system and some level of improper waste
disposal. Observation of the environment, and direct interviews with people in the
area was also conducted. The data obtained were analyzed and the study indicates that
wastes generation, sorting, handling and disposal were mostly implicated, and that
dumping and landfill are some of the current methods being adopted in the disposal of
wastes within Lagos, composting and incineration are less often adopted just as
industry best practice methods like recycling and re-use are less frequently used. It
was also seen that the main type of waste disposal system used in Ajah is the PSP,
which is meant to make waste management better, but due to challenges in pick up
times, it seems to have a drawback. The analysis shows us that the use of PSP is the
most prominent waste disposal system practiced but with a challenge of pick up
timing. The most generated type of waste within the study area happens to be the food
waste. To this effect, recommendations were given to bring solutions as
follows;People should be treated as active partners in the process of change, there will
be a more likely successful situation of waste management; Relevant information
should be presented to the people and even with an increase of awareness to a certain
level, additional monitoring and sustained management over a long period of time is
necessary; The monthly environmental sanitation practice should be taken more
seriously and the waste collection trucks from LAWMA should immediately after the
sanitation if not during the sanitation, go round to collect the refuse that will be
heaped on roads during the sanitation practice; The state assembly should formulate
laws on waste management which will go as far as individual waste practice and
ensure that the laws are enforced by government agencies; Monthly awards to neatest
areas should be instituted to encourage the people of the areas to keep their
environment clean always by properly handling and storing their wastes. Government
should not only make laws, but sponsor public health and environmental education
programmes regularly and also make environmental education part of the education
curriculum at all school levels.

Literature and the Law: A Historic Review
Essam el Din Aref Fattouh
Page no 144-151 |
10.36348/sijll.2018
This article considers the rise in popularity of interdisciplinary courses that explore the rich and illuminating relationships between Literature and Law, both as subjects of academic study, and for their relevance to the wider world. The history of the two disciplines in England and America is briefly traced, to gain some insight into their complex interconnectedness; from the era of classical Greece, until the twenty-first century. Consideration of the distinction developed in the Oresteia of Aeschylus, between revenge, on the one hand, and lawful justice, on the other, is followed by discussions of the interrelationship between law and literature in the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle respectively. In the era of Republican Rome, the seminal figure of Cicero, as legislator and rhetorician, is highlighted for his influence on European concepts of law and the legal profession, and the impact of his style on Renaissance humanism. William Shakespeare’s interest in legal themes and the nature of justice, is then briefly addressed. The American Founding Fathers’ passion for both literature and legal matters, is regarded as having had a profound effect on the framing of the American Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, both in style and in content. Finally, there is a brief overview of recent interdisciplinary initiatives in Departments of Law and English Literature, in Britain and the United States. The ongoing and complex connections between Literature and Law continue to offer a fruitful field, for a study whose implications have only just begun to be explored.
