Abstract: The study exhaustively examines the impact of capital expenditure on foreign direct investment in Nigeria between 2000 and 2012. Capital expenditure directly or indirectly relates with foreign direct investment all over the world but the former tends to portend the efficacy of the latter. Realistically, the rate of economic growth of any country stimulated by foreign direct investment in fundamentally determined by such government capital expenditure. Therefore, it is in the light of this the researcher sources secondary data for the period under review (2000-2012) particularly Annual Time Services on government capital expenditure and foreign direct investment extracted from CBN statistical Bulletin published in 2012. Moreso, to be able to capture the impact of capital expenditure in foreign direct investment without iota of doubt. Ordinary least square (OLS) is adopted for the analysis. The result from OLS estimates will show how capital expenditure negatively determines FDI at 5% level of significance. Other pertinent information on how the two variables symbolistically relate and determine economic, growth are clearly explained in the course of this paper.

Abstract: Child abuse and neglect can be viewed as a pervasive occurrence inflicted on children by adults in authoritative positions, which in most cases are their parents or guardians. Although the phenomenon of abuse and neglect amongst children is widespread, the empirical data for this cannot be established because of the large number of cases that go unreported, due to the shame of disclosure. Thus, the amount of research work for the development and implementation of any kind of intervention for this population at the grass root level, is negligible. Studies in the field suggest that art interventions, built on expressive therapy principles, are one of the most appropriate and least stressful techniques for identification and management of child abuse victims. Through this study, the impact of art based intervention is explored, on the anxiety level of children with abuse and neglect history, through a series of case........

Abstract: The process of decision making in a family has an important bearing on the intra-household dynamics and welfare of the households. Most of the models of household decision making assume that the family as a whole is the decision making unit and there exists a single household utility function. Each member of the household jointly maximizes the level of utility for given income. These so called unitary models (Becker, 1965) are based on the assumption that the tastes and preferences of all household members are the same. What would be the household welfare function if household members have different preferences? This brings to therefore the questions about the distribution of resources within the household (Behram, 1988). Rural women constitute the invisible work force which keeps the family and the rural economy alive. But they and their labour often go un-rewarded or under-rewarded. Women...........

Abstract: Education is the key yardstick by which the growth and development of a country can be measured and as such it has occupied an important place in the society. There is no denying the fact that education has a vital role in the life of an individual as well as society. In the case of individual, education helps to discipline the mind, sharpen the intellect and refine the spirit. Education is the nourishment of the mind with knowledge and as such it helps in the formation of an integrated personality of an individual. Theoretically the need of higher education for both males and females is the same. But practically it could be said that female education is more important than that of male. Women education has two aspects- individual aspect and social aspect. It is education which increases women‟s abilities to deal with..........
