Fountain University is in Oke Osun after the Osun Osogbo sacred grove in Osogbo, Nigeria. It was established by the Nasrul-lahi-li Fatih (NASFAT) Society in 2007. It is a privately owned Islamic faith-based university in Osun State. Presently, the university has two colleges: College of Natural and Applied Sciences and College of Management and Social Sciences. Colleges of Art, Engineering and Education are being proposed..
This study examined the criminogenic dynamics and victimological impact of phone fraud in Alaba International Market, a major hub of Nigeria's electronics trade where the crime had become embedded in daily commercial life. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, interviews with 25 victims were analyzed to explore how fraud was organized, sustained, and experienced. Routine activity theory and differential association theory provided the criminological lens to explain how everyday routines and social learning processes converged to normalize fraudulent practices and erode the boundary between legality and illegality in informal economies. The findings revealed that offenders employed coordinated methods such as staged repairs, deceptive swaps, counterfeit receipts, SIM cloning, and digital manipulation, sustained through apprenticeships, resale networks, and intimidation. Victim accounts showed that these practices relied on technical skill and exploited market structures, while technology enabled spyware installation, account cloning, and data interception. These activities, alongside physical theft, resulted in financial loss, psychological harm, and erosion of trust. Responses were characterized by ridicule, blame, fear of retaliation, and ineffective institutional support, which normalized silence and facilitated continuity of the crime. The study recommended the need for personal vigilance, market accountability mechanisms, collaborative interventions involving law enforcement and service providers, and psychosocial support structures for victims.
Transition metal oxides (TMO) have attracted significant attention in the field of electrochemical energy storage devices due to their unique electronic structure and enhanced redox chemistry. In this report, we have prepared a Mn-doped NiFe2O4 nanostructured electrode sample for supercapacitor potentials. Some surface-structural probing of the synthesized materials was carried out, and the results revealed the formation of nanosheet with a spinel cubic structure and the composition of corresponding elements. Raman and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra studies also reaffirmed the NiFe2O4 spinel structural integrity with both octahedral and tetrahedral sites. The electrochemical measurements of the fabricated electrodes revealed enhanced charge storage performance, depending on the intercalated electrolytic ions and Mn-dopant content. The findings indicate that the 5
The remarkable electrical conductivity, high theoretical surface area, mechanical resilience, and customizable surface chemistry of graphene (GR) and its derivatives have made them essential materials for next-generation energy storage and conversion technologies. Despite extensive research, synthesis-dependent flaws, restacking, scalability constraints, and interfacial instability make it difficult to translate these intrinsic features into reliable device-level performance. Recent developments in defect-engineered graphene for electrochemical energy systems, such as fuel cells, solar cells, lithium-ion, lithium-sulfur, lithium-oxygen, sodium-ion, and metal-air batteries, are critically examined in this study. Correlating graphene manufacturing techniques with electrical modulation, ion transport kinetics, defect structure, and electrochemical performance measures is given special attention. The trade-offs among electrical conductivity, electrochemically accessible surface area, catalytic activity, and structural integrity across several energy platforms are highlighted via comparative analysis. Important issues are methodically assessed, such as defect density optimization, restacking suppression, scalable production, economic effectiveness, and environmental sustainability. Finally, to direct future research toward commercially viable graphene-enabled energy solutions, application-specific design concepts and commercialization viewpoints are suggested.
This paper explores Helon Habila’s Travellers (2019) as a juridical allegory of migration through the concept of “the law of the journey.” Departing from the conventional linear migration narrative, Travellers constructs a mosaic of interconnected portraits that illuminate the lived realities of displacement, statelessness, and legal precarity in contemporary Europe. Drawing on Hannah Arendt’s notion of “the right to have rights” and Giorgio Agamben’s theorisation of “bare life,” the paper argues that Habila’s fiction demonstrates how migrants are simultaneously governed and excluded by law. Through its fragmented form, the novel mirrors the suspended temporality of transit and the invisibility produced by extraterritorial asylum regimes. Characters such as Manu, Mark, and Portia embody varying conditions of rightlessness, exposing the ethical and political contradictions of global mobility. By situating Travellers within both legal theory and contemporary Nigerian migrant fiction, the study reveals how literature interrogates the limits of human rights and national sovereignty. Ultimately, Habila’s work transforms fiction into a site of ethical encounter and resistance, insisting that recognition and belonging must travel with persons beyond borders. The paper concludes that Travellers reimagines the migrant journey as a legal and moral frontier, compelling individuals to confront the politics of exclusion and responsibility.
