    CONTENDING ISSUES IN INTERNATIONAL LAW AND THE CONTEMPORARY REALITY
    (Department of Political Science, Nasarawa State University Keffi, 2015-12-12) Shuaibu, Umar Abdul.; Kigbu, Hafsat
    The spate of argument on the validity of international law in the world system today is increasingly disheartened. The actors in international relations are left with ambiguous issue regarding the authenticity of the international legal system. It is on the basis of this imperative that this paper examines vividly the contending views on the validity of international law. Monist and dualist schools of thought are seen to be the major brains behind the discourse. The researchers were able to delve into contemporary reality to fish-out what is actually obtainable in the world system today. And, it is revealed that law in itselfc ould be said to be a continuous process which changes overtime from the minor rudimentary stage to the more complex one as society changes from flexible to rigid. Various sources of international law are identified in order to buttress the support on the argument that says “International law is a law ”.

    GLOBALIZATION, MULTINATIONAL CORPORATION AND THE NIGERIAN ECONOMY: ARE THERE POLICY OPTIONS?
    (Department of Political Science, Nasarawa State University Keffi, 2017-10-10) Kigbu, Hafsat; Abudllahi, Mohammed Abdul; Erunke, Canice Esidence
    The pei'vasive nature of globalization and the corresponding socio-economic impact of multinational corporations on the Nigerian Economy is germane to this paper. Unarguably, however, while it is a possibility that multinalism and globalism engender trade linkages, enhance information transfer and improve technology, etc; it is also important to stress that the same entrenches inequality, exploitation and eventually implant poverty in their host countries. The study submits that multinalism has changed the people's consumption pattern from African food to those of the imperialists. The paper concludes with policy statements by way of recommendations in order to leapfrog Nigeria's developmental agenda devoid of foreign incursion in the socio-economic and political scheme of things.

    State Corruption and Man-Made Poverty in Nigeria: A Discuorse
    (Department of Political Science, Nasarawa State University Keffi, 2021-04-06) Shuaibu, Umar Abdul.; Kigbu, Hafsat
    The Nigerian State has plunged into high-level corruption in recent time. The result of which, is bad governance, lack of national development and un-conducive political atmosphere. The country's bad style of leadership is becoming worrisome to an accepted tradition within the polity. While the political gladiators constantly manipulated the people and the political processes to advance their personal aggrandizement, the society remained pauperized, and the people wallowed in abject poverty. It is an obvious fact that Nigeria is naturally endowed with human and material richness which are notj udiciously utilized to give average Nigerians a decent life. The endemic and cancerous nature of corruption in Nigerian polity had generated and further intensified the poverty condition of the people in the country, to the extent that average citizens of the state have automatically became the victim ofo ne square meal a day. It is in response to these daunting challenges which permanently stationed themselves in the Nigerian political system that this study through the use of conceptual analysis of corruption and poverty synthesized the way and manner in which pervasive corrupt practices in the polity engendered poverty in the country. The study is purely qualitative with content analysis. The study revealed that the endemic poverty in Nigeria is a biological offshoot of ungodly act of corrupt practices that deeply eaten Nigerian polity particularly, within the governmental circle. In view of the above findings, the researchers recommend that people who were entrusted with confidence by the public should instill the fear ofg od in their doings and the anti-corruption crusade should be strengthened with all intents and purposes, otherwise, achieving corruption and poverty free Nigeria will remain a mirage.
