    (Lead City University, 2023-12) Aderonke A. ABOLUSODUN
    This study explored the Infertility- Related- Stress and Coping Strategies as predictors of Mental Well-being among Individuals with Reproductive Health Challenges in Ibadan. The study adopted a descriptive cross sectional research design using probability sampling of simple random to recruit 333 males and females going through issues of infertility at selected four hospitals in Ibadan. Respondents ages ranged from 21 to 60. .Sample size was determined using Taro and Yamani 1967 formula. Data was collected by the use of reliable and valid measure of mental well-being, Infertility-Related-Stress and coping strategies. .Four hypotheses were tested. There is no significant difference between male (? − = 38.75, SD = 6.57) and female (? − = 38.94, SD = 6.74) on mental well-being (t (322) = -.220, p > 0.05).There is significant joint impact of problem focused, emotional focused, and avoidance coping strategies on mental well-being among the infertile males and females, R2 = .091, F (3,315) = 10.457, p < .01.There is significant joint influence of infertility-related stress (social concern, need for parenthood, rejection of childfree lifestyle, and couple’s relationship concern) on mental well-being among the infertile males and females, R 2 = .386, F (4, 314) = 49.34, p < .01. Age does not significantly influence mental well-being F(1,308) = 1.32, p > .05. There is significant joint prediction of age and infertility-related stress on mental well-being F(5, 304) = 40.00, p < .01, There is significant joint prediction of age, infertility-related stress and coping strategies on mental well-being F(8, 301) = 27.61, p < .01.

    The Implications of Farmers – Herders Clashes in Nigeria. A Case Study of Iseyin Community
    (Lead City University, 2023-12) Abiola Oluwatosin AGBAKOSI
    The Fulani herdsmen and farmers' clashes in Nigeria, particularly in Iseyin Local Government Area of Oyo State, have caused significant disruptions. This study aims to investigate the The Criminalities and Implications of Fulani Herdsmen and Farmers Clashes on Criminal Justices System in Nigeria. The population under study includes residents of Iseyin city, encompassing Fulani herdsmen, farmers, police officers, prison officials, and lawyers. A sample size of 400 respondents was determined using the Taro Yamale method. Questionnaires were the primary data collection tool, and Descriptive Statistical Analysis was employed, including percentages, frequency tables, and arithmetic mean calculations. Multiple regression analysis was used to test the study's hypotheses. The results indicate a significant relationship between Fulani herdsmen attacks and farmers' crises in Iseyin, leading to the rejection of hypothesis. Furthermore, there is a significant relationship between the level of awareness among Iseyin residents and Fulani herdsmen and farmers' clashes, rejecting hypothesis. However, there is no significant effect of Fulani herdsmen and farmers' clashes on the criminal justice system in Nigeria, as hypothesis was rejected. To mitigate Fulani herdsmen and farmers' clashes in Iseyin, improved communication through understanding different languages, awareness of climate change, and mutual accommodation could reduce conflicts and enhance farming experiences. The ongoing clashes have deterred Iseyin residents from farming due to safety concerns. The Oyo state government can enact by-laws to establish ranches, define grazing lands, and designate grazing routes. Civil actions against Fulani herdsmen can also be pursued to deter recurrent attacks. Keywords: Herdsmen Farmers' Clashes, Criminalities, Criminal Justices System Count: 240

    Thriving at Work and Moderating Effect of Workplace Support on Subjective Well-being among Bankers in Ibadan Metropolis
    (Lead City University, 2022-12) Mistura Oluwaseun AKINOLA
    This study investigated the influence of thriving at work, and the moderating effect of workplace support on the subjective well-being (SWB) of bank employees at selected local governments in Ibadan Metropolis, Oyo State. The study is a cross-sectional design using a survey method. Social Comparison Theory guided the study. A total of 402 bank employees was determined by Cochran formula, as multistage random sampling was engaged to select the banks from 5 local governments in Ibadan. Participants age ranging from 20 to 60 years (X = 35.4; SD = 7.4). Data were collected using a standardized questionnaire measuring Thriving at work, Workplace Support, and SWB. Four hypotheses were tested using ANOVA and regression analysis. Result showed Thriving at work has significant main effect on SWB, (F (1,394) = 21.86, P < .01, coworker F (1,394) = 14.88, P < .01). Learning thriving at work has a significant main effect on SWB, F (1,395) = 37.24, P<.01). Supervisor support (F (1,395) = 39.67, P< .01). The result also showed a significant interaction effect between learning thriving at work and supervisor support on SWB. Effect of thriving at work was significantly positive (β = .38, SE = .10, t = 7.97, P < .05). Thriving at work and workplace support have joint predictive influence on SWB (R2 = .258, F (2,399) = 69.348, P <.05). Thriving at work has significant independent influence on SWB (β = .279, t = 6.229, P < .05) and workplace support has significant independent influence on SWB (β = .357, t = 7.987, P < .05.) In conclusion, there is a significant linkage between workplace support and thriving at work on SWB. Study recommends that organizations should provide enabling environment where employees can thrive favorably without hindrance.
