Book excerpt: This study investigated the characteristics and challenges of high-achieving second-generation Nigerian youths in the United States. An increasing number of youths in America's schools are from immigrant backgrounds due to the flow of immigration from Latin America, Asia, and Africa. Given the local and national mandates to improve the academic achievement of all children, we cannot afford to leave any group behind. Although research on immigrant children from Asia and Latin America and their adaptation and schooling has increased in the last two decades, the educational experiences of Black immigrant children from Africa and the Caribbean have been understudied. The scant research on African immigrants lumps all Africans into a homogeneous group despite the different experiences and obvious diversity found within Africa and among African immigrants. Using theoretical triangulation from Educational Anthropology (cultural ecological theory), Sociology (social capital), and Psychology (social cognitive theory), the researcher examined the role of parents, personal traits, and social contexts on the academic experiences of high-achieving second-generation Nigerian youths. The study used surveys, in-depth interviews of Nigerian youths and parents (mothers), and a focus group interview of high-achieving second-generation Nigerian youths to explore the academic experiences of high-achieving second-generation Nigerian youths to identify factors that determine their educational outcomes. It is anticipated that the results of this study will contribute to the literature on immigrant, minority, and Black students' education in the United States. High-achieving second-generation Nigerian youths credited their parents, extended family, the Nigerian community, and their upbringing for their motivation and academic success. Nigerian parents were actively engaged with the education of their children, both in the traditional realms of school involvement and in the non-traditional school engagement. Although youths faced the challenges of peer teasing, underpreparation for college, and parental pressure, they devised coping strategies through code-switching, reevaluating their definition of academic success, and increasing determination and effort. They also were involved in several extracurricular activities that helped them to create social networks with peers and adults and to break social barriers.

Book excerpt: This open-access edited collection, focusing on Ghana and Nigeria, offers a transatlantic, transnational exploration of barriers that threaten the wellbeing of West African youth—ranging from Black immigrant youth in the American city of Newark, New Jersey, to students in Almajiri Islamic schools in Northern Nigeria. Incorporating themes of migration, vulnerability, and agency and aspirations, the book conveys the resilience of African youth transitioning toward adulthood in a world of structural inequality. It thus crosses the academic divide between Youth Studies and African Studies, while challenging conventional framings of Black youth as deficient and deviant—positing instead their individual and collective creativity and assets. The contributors employ different methodological approaches, including field research and autoethnography, from varying multidisciplinary and practitioner perspectives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a part of the parent book "Nigerian Youth Challenges". This section is created to address a particular area of interest which is internet fraud among Nigerian youths. It is an important topic and that is explored in this book. The trend of internet scam for over six years now is getting out of hand. Yahoo boys also known as G Boys are going deeper into scam as days progress. These young scammers who are desperate of money have scammed many people and few of the victims committed suicide because of the large amount of money they lost. Chapter one of the book is an introduction on who these fraudsters are and the popular names they answer while the chapter two is the confirmed incidences of the actions of the criminals in an outside the country. The information is sourced from reliable companies that report news and facts of incidences that happen in the world. Some of the incidences involved shedding of the blood of innocent Nigerians because some of the so call Yahoo boys have advanced into killing of humans for rituals. It is believed that this kind of ritual makes them make more money through their wicked tricks. Chapter three and four is on "terms and tricks used by Yahoo boys" and "how to avoid being a G guy" respectively. These young fraudsters in Nigeria speak in codes. They have terminologies they use when they do not want someone that is not part of their circle to understand. Also, they have tricks they apply for both their international and local scams. As a youth, there are things you have to know to avoid being a member of these internet scammers. These are explained in chapter four. Chapter five and six focuses on "who are duped by Yahoo boys" and "funny things Yahoo boys do" respectively. Internet fraudsters cannot have everyone as their prey. For example, someone who is not exposed on the things happening in the world of internet can fall prey to the tricks of these get rich quick young men in Nigeria. Also, there are some funny things that they do as well. These funny things may seem crazy to reasonable person but it is a big deal to some of the internet scammers. Chapter seven is on the "characteristics of internet scammers in Nigeria" while eight is on "how Yahoo boys have influenced Nigerian Security". Yahoo boys in Nigeria have similar way of doing things. If you are a citizen of Nigeria, sometimes you do not need a seer to tell you if a particular person is a scammer or not. You know them by their actions. Also, the security who are instituted to fight crime in the country have been incapacitated by these boys. Some police officers cannot act to bring these young criminals to book because they might have in one way or the other collected bribes from them. There are reasons why many Nigerian youths are taking advantage of people to make money and fill their pockets. There are some factors or the causes of their dirty actions. These are covered in chapter nine. And in chapter ten, the author explains why Nigerian government is not serious with the fight against Yahoo boys who are in various cities of the country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict, Security, grade: 5, University of Jos (Faculty of Social Sciences), course: Social Work, language: English, abstract: This paper x-rays the over a decade intractable conflicts that have ravaged the socio-economic fabric of Jos Plateau State North Central Nigeria and its implications for youth participation in the democratic process. It further lays bare the barriers to national integration among the multifarious nationalities that make up the Nigerian teritory. Insecurity is a problem common among developed and developing nations that constitute significant threat to peaceful co-existence, interaction, stability and development. It charges people with threats, tensions, anxieties and uncertainties. At the receiving end of insecurity are sadly youths who are recruited to either fight for a cause not their own or have their educational pursuits abandoned in the wake of these violent conflicts. As a resultant consequence, the supremacy of the constitution which is the ground norm for conduct is interminably jettisoned. Farmers and herdsmen clashes have given a new definition to the dynamics of insecurity on the Plateau. This is manifested in the horrific manner in which villages are razed to rubbles over such disputes. When the constitution fails to hold accountable, perpetrators of heinous crimes owing to favoritism or selective justice, the sanctity of lives are lost. This is the fundamental precursor to youth’s engagement in violent conflicts over the years with the menace of Boko Haram at the zenith of radicalization. As the nature of terrorism assumes an even dangerous dimension owing to significant advancement in technology, the future of our youths leaves a lot to be desired. This is in view of the fact that when youths are not groomed for leadership but rather occupied in destroying the future, the survival of the society beyond this generation becomes bleak and frightening. Arms stockpile and manufactured of IEDs is no longer news as many communities have been devastated by suicide bombings and hundreds of lives lost. One may be tempted to ask whether the government is unaware of these occurrences. When government seemingly tolerates the activities of lawless elements in the society, it inspires other young people to look forward to unleashing mayhem on unsuspecting members of the public with great zeal.

Book excerpt: An inspiring editorial analysis and interpretation of aspects of Nigerian history, culture, and politics, from mankind’s archaeological past to ethnographic present, this book contextualises cultural history as instrument of sustainable development in postcolonial Nigeria. Nigeria’s rich cultural history defines its physical environment, cultural diversities, early industrial technology and even its various challenges of development. Yet, little is achieved in engaging cultural history as cultural experience for the country’s development. The gains of cultural history as a mirror of the past and inspiration for development is ignored. This difficulty in harnessing the potential for development in Nigeria found in the country’s cultural history leaves us vulnerable to repeating past mistakes. The book is accessible, and aimed at giving the readers a unique and expansive understanding of history, cultural knowledge, and their applications in Nigerian postcolonial development agendas. This makes the book essential for scholars of anthropology, archaeology, history, linguistics, sociology, political science, and geography, as well as policy makers.

This book was released on 2024-10-14 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of scholarly essays from some of Nigeria’s most notable social science scholars on the character, contours, and peculiarities of democratic practices in Nigeria’s fourth attempt at constitutional rule after years of brutally absolutist military regimes. The Fourth Republic began in 1999 and continues to this day. It is coterminous with the restoration of constitutional rule after 16 years of sustained military rule, which represents the longest stretch of democratic self-rule since Nigeria won independence from British colonialism in 1960. The chapters in this book contain scholarly insights into the pitfalls of governance, institutional dysfunctions and foundational woes that continue to threaten the vitality of the Fourth Republic. Contributors to the book offer critical theoretical lenses to gaze at the decline in democratic citizenship, weakening of faith in the promises of democracy, loss of critical media engagement with the state, and deterioration of the socio-political fortunes of the state in Nigeria.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenges and Prospects in African Education System: The general idea this book is trying to disseminate is to inform readers about the compelling challenges and prospects in African system of education. As we all know, when issues of Africa educational system is raised, the first set of thoughts that come to mind is decline in standard, deterioration of facilities, examination malpractices, cult crises or school-based violence, shortage of teachers, underqualified teachers, and poor teachers performance, which results in poor learning standards, lack of classroom discipline that is exacerbated by insufficient resources and inadequate infrastructure, failure of appropriate inspection and monitoring, and confusion caused by changing curricula without proper communication and training. All these have led to massive demoralization and disillusionment among teachers and a negative and worsening perception of African system of education. This, therefore, calls for in-depth analysis aimed at tutoring every stakeholder in education on how their action and inactions have individually and collectively contributed to the collapsing state of education in Africa. However, the prospect is that Africas recovery and sustainable development can only be guaranteed through expansion and sustenance of both quantitative and qualitativeof the continents stock of human capital through education. In order for education to realize its key role in development, it must be provided to the younger segments of African society as quickly as human and financial resources permit, with the ultimate goal of developing a comprehensive, meaningful and sustainable system of education at all levels and for all age groups. This is the message that this book puts across in the six knitted sections.

Book excerpt: This collection of essays explores the critical and fluid nature of security challenges that have plagued Nigeria since colonial times. Insecurity in diverse forms remains the bane of growth and progressive development in the country, and has the capability to derail a society no matter how sophisticated. What has generated insecurity at the macro- and micro-levels? How has insecurity been tackled? Why have security challenges escalated particularly in the post-independence period? What lessons could be learnt from the way security matters have been (mis)handled in the past? This volume presents chapters on the historical roots and antecedents of security challenges, and considers the nexus between the economy, political leadership and development, and its impacts on security in modern Nigeria. It also explores the effectiveness of the strategies employed to address security challenges, and discusses why some security challenges have lingered.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Politics - Region: Africa, , language: English, abstract: This lecture will be focusing on "Youth Unemployment: The Challenges of Skill Gap". In other words, I will be looking at the "mismatch between the demand for labour in the corporate worlds and the supply of labour by educational institutions". I believe the topic at hand is timely, given the incessant rise in unemployment that has plagued Nigeria for years now—and which, as new graduates, some of you will likely face.
