Abstract: The paper examines how English students in an English department construct their identities in relation to their discipline and its opportunities for job entries and career development in comparison with the study of other disciplines. Using a combination of questionnaires and interviews, it solicited responses from students in an English department which it analyzed and concludes that students identify themselves closely with English because of its perceived qualities of enabling them to think critically and creatively thereby making them able to communicate effectively; it consequently serves as a foundational course opening up all job and career avenues to them. In short, it develops their consciousness and starts them at advantage in career development in comparison with students of other disciplines.

Abstract: The hue and cry over the falling standard of education in Nigeria has assumed alarming dimensions in recent years. This has equally evoked tremendous research interests to investigate the possible causes of this ugly development. Some have blamed It on lack of motivation of teachers while others on lack of necessary facilities and so forth.

The research instrument used for the study was a two-part 35 items questionnaire which was meant to test the influence motivation may have on teachers performance. It was administered to 100 randomly selected teachers from 10 of the sampled secondary schools used for the study...............

Abstract: The Boko Haram (BH) emerged in Nigeria in 2002 with the aim of total implementation of the Sharia law in Nigeria, yet there are other reasons such as socio-economic factors in the north-east where the group has been more prevalent. The domestic-based insurgent group became more sophisticated after its establishment of links with some international terrorist organizations (ITOs) such as Al-Qaeda, AQIM and Al-Shabaab. The group made its attacks to threaten the national security of Nigeria in the destruction of lives, properties and displacement of people and genders such as women and children. These displaced people have no option than to live in camps with serious need of social amenities such as health care...............
