Abstract: Globally, it is erroneously believed that the role of a father in the home is infinitesimal and inconsequential when compared to the roles played by a mother in the overall development and well-being of children in order to fit well into the society. This paper however projects and reiterates the significance of a father in bringing up responsible, productive and incorruptible individuals as against the stereotyped notion of fatherhood through the critical reading of Amma Darko‟s Faceless for the serenity and development of the society. Psychoanalytic theory is employed as a tool in analyzing the text and justifying the father factor as a panacea to streetism menace consequent of the behavioral disorders exhibited because of the victim‟s life experiences. The father figure in the overall development of a child cannot be overemphasized because of its potency to positively or otherwise influence the society.

Abstract: The paper looks at the interplay between governance, corruption and growth as biggest undoing of the state of Nigeria. Weak governance and corruption have impeded sustainable growth tremendously and can be represented equally as being predominantly responsible for the development crisis that has engulfed Nigeria. The paper describes the connection between good governance and effective democratic institutions as a way to bring Nigeria out of the current development crisis. It states the need to intensify the anti-corruption crusades with a strong mandate to the anti-graft agencies to prevent the executive arm of government from exerting undue control. The paper relies on the sequential analytic approach in data analysis and adopted good governance model as a theoretical compass......

Abstract: Nigeria, on 1st October, 1960 officially joined the comity of nations. This marked a turning point in the political history of the country as her independence was granted by her erstwhile colonial master. Suffice to say that, Nigeria was bequeathed with a democratic parliamentary form of government at independence but this was truncated by the military interregnum which lasted for more than a decade. The democratic practice that re-surfaced on May 29, 1999 however raised the hopes of Nigerians who had long been expecting a return to democracy. Democracy is often adjudged as a form of government that promotes the principle of equality of all citizens and as such reduces the proclivity for conflicting relationships between and among the various categories of people that dwell in a democratic setting.....

Abstract: The paper discusses the dichotomy of art and life projected in the work of art and what critics say about it is conflicting. So the major objective of this paper is to explore the fact that the writers do not depict the life as it is, but their characters always exist representing their life. The writers, thus, write about their self, often their conflicting personality that is reflected in their works of art. It is often called autobiography. Oscar Wilde's Salomé is one of the examples of this sort. He is successful as a self-dramatist that his play is a portrayal of his true self that directs the form of autobiography. In addition, the great drama of his life is, as Andre Gide argues, that he has put his genius in his life but only his talent into his works.
