Poor teaching strategies has been linked to poor learning outcomes of undergraduate adult education programs and poor-quality graduates forthe Nigerian society. Therefore, this study examined the relationship between authentic teaching strategy and learning outcomes of undergraduateadult education students in a public university in Nigeria. Using descriptive survey design, one hundred and twenty participants were selectedusing purposive and simple random sampling methods. A modified ''Authentic Teaching and Learning Outcomes of Adult Education Questionnaire''(ATLOAEQ) with Cronbach Alpha test of internal consistency of 0.86 was administered for data collection. Data were analyzed using descriptivestatistics including frequency counts, percentages and inferential statistics i.e., multiple correlation matrix at 0.05 level of significance. Correlationanalysis showed that authentic teaching strategy has significant positive relationship with subject/content knowledge (r.872), knowledge of real-lifesituation (r.998), participatory group strategy (r. 988), communication skills for real world audience (r.975). Based on this, all the three null hypothesestested at 0.05 level of significant were rejected. It is recommended that the Nigeria government and international donor agencies should direct morefunds towards the improvement in university undergraduate adult education teaching, learning outcomes and service delivery for better curriculumimplementation.Keywords: Authentic, Teaching, Learning, Outcomes, Adult Education

The money laundering along with other economic and financial crimes continues to increase unabated. It remains one of the major problems of the country which has retarded immensely its growth and economic development. This research aims to examine the provisions of the current Anti-Money Laundering Act in Nigeria, as the country is under obligation to comply with the international standard, having signed and ratified "Vienna Convention and Palermo Convention". This research used a doctrinal method which examined and analysed the provision of the Money Laundering (Prohibition) Act 2011. A deducible impression that this created is that it is either those laws are not effective or there is no political will to execute. Combating money laundering therefore requires more than having an array of legal framework. The implementation of those laws is germane for a desire result.

Conflict is the friction resulting from incompatibilities among people. Conflict has become a common experience in many African countries today which has led to bloodshed, death, starvation, famine, and ravaged communities. In this scenario, women and children have always been the worst hit. The girl child, particularly, and women are sexually abused, raped, kidnapped, and sometimes converted to sex slaves or forced into marriages. Since 2009, Boko Haram, a group of notorious terrorists, has been operating in the Northern part of Nigeria. One major feature of the signage of the group is the abduction of girls and women whom they forced into sexual slavery and marriage. In the years following the onslaughts, many of these girls were returned based on negotiations with the Federal Government of Nigeria. Some of the girls were returned defiled, some with children, and some with pregnancies as evidences of their sex slavery experience in the hands of the insurgents and abductors. While the Boko Haram troop's attack is still an ongoing experience in Nigeria, little or nothing, however, is relayed about the issue of reparation for the girls and women returnees. Access to justice is one major factor that has not been provided for the victims. Using a desktop research, existing literature is reviewed in an analytical and comparative methodology, as available legal provisions are examined. It is suggested to the Nigerian government to involve the victims in the discourse of reparation and ensure their access to justice. This will ensure that quantum reparation is provided. The paper will be of immense importance to the Nigerian government, policymakers, civil organizations, human rights practitioners, the victims, as well as the citizenry. It will contribute in the way of education and policy making to the mentioned people.

The trail of repeated bouts of HPV infections on the heel of Cervical Cancer is akin to the relationship between risky behavior and sexual activities. The causal relationship between HPV and Cervical Cancer has been consistently buttressed by overwhelming evidence from various studies all over the world. However, while the advanced nations of the world have made tremendous progress in the fight against Cervical Cancer and HPV infections, a cruel testament to the failure of governments and leaderships in taking ownership and responsibility for National Health Initiatives is attested by the high and increasing mortality rate arising from Cervical Cancer in the low- and middle-income countries. The gross disparity and inequities in healthcare services, access and outcomes has remained the stark reality of the low- and middle-income countries of the world. The low level of knowledge and misconceptions about Cervical Cancer, HPV, and the HPV vaccine are among several factors confounding the outcome of Cervical Cancers in the developing countries of the world. Cervical Cancer is preventable, and its associated morbidity, economic cost, and mortality are all avoidable only if proactive steps at mitigating infections with HPV are taken. In addition, appropriate initiatives aimed at screening and vaccinating vulnerable populations need to be duly implemented by governments and all stakeholders. Cervical Cancer can be prevented with an effective Cervical Cancer screening program, diagnosis of pre-malignant lesions and their treatment, and a well-structured HPV Vaccination Programs.

The study assessed the level of teaching effectiveness of Civic teachers in Osun State. It also determined the relationship between teachers' effectiveness and senior secondary school students' academic achievement and examined the difference between the academic achievement of the students taught by male Civic teachers and those taught by female Civic teachers in the study area. The study employed Correlational research design and the population for the study comprised of Civic teachers and the senior secondary school students in Osun State. The sample size for the study consisted of forty (40) Civic teachers and two hundred (200) students selected using multistage sampling procedure. A research question and two hypotheses were raised to guide the study. Two instruments: Teachers' Effectiveness Rating Scale (TERS) and Civic Achievement Test (CAT) were developed and used for data collection. The two instruments were given to experts in Civic Education and Test and Measurement for face and content validity and were later subjected to a reliability test using Pearson moment product correlation which yielded values of 0.65 and 0.72 respectively. Data collected were analysed using frequency counts, simple percentages, mean, standard deviation, linear regression and t-test statistics. Findings of the study showed that the level of teaching effectiveness of Civic teachers in the study area is moderate. The study concluded that teachers' effectiveness is a correlate of senior secondary school students' academic achievement in Civic in Ife Central Local Government Area of Osun State.

AbstractThe trend toward the concept of humanity in political theory has arisen largely as a reaction against the mistreatment of vulnerable people such as immigrants. The issue of immigrants' vulnerability has led political thinkers to ponder on how to apply the principle of humanity to the question of the treatment of immigrants. I would like to address this matter by examining two questions: what is humanity, is it a value property, or a virtue? Does it really matter if the means by which an immigrant immigrates is demeaning to his own humanity as a person? The most common or intuitive reply to these questions would probably be: 'humanity' is simply a value-bestowing property, so regardless of immigrants' actions they are owed respectful treatment. The aim of this paper is to emphasise instead that 'humanity' should be conceived as a virtue of actual commitment to act on moral principles. I explore three different meanings of humanity. First, I discuss 'humanity' as the common ownership of the earth. Second, I discuss 'humanity' as a value property. Third, I discuss humanity as a virtue of acting, on the one hand, with humanity, and on the other hand, on moral principles.
