“…While we agree with Alphonsus' recommendation, the snag however, has been the lack of political will to prosecute electoral offenders, especially political thugs and their sponsors. Umar (2017), in his work titled "Almajiri (Traditional Islamic scholarship) and political thuggery in Nigeria", sought to identify the causes of political thuggery vis-a-vis the Almajirai system. The study which adopted the cross-sectional survey design, found among others, that without any significant variation in the perception of stake holders, there was a very weak level of involvement of the Almajiri in political thuggery in Bauchi State (2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015).…”

Thuggery is a destructive force that erodes the fabric of society and breeds fear and distrust. It fosters a disregard for the rule of law and the principles of justice even as it erodes the values of empathy, compassion and respect for others, leading to a breakdown of social order. Societies afflicted by thuggery suffer from increased crime rates, reduced quality of life and a general sense of unrest and anarchy. Thuggery, especially its political variant, is a form of social violence which poses immense challenge to the security of lives and property of Nigerians and undermines the socio-economic and political development of the nation. This study interrogated the causes and effects of political thuggery on the socio-economic and political development of Ofu Local Government Area, Kogi State, Nigeria. Data for the study were collected from 384 respondents who were selected using the purposive and systematic random sampling techniques. Questionnaire, In-depth Interview (IDI) and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) were used to elicit data from respondents while the resultant quantitative data were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 22.0. The Frustration Aggression Theory was adopted to provide theoretical pathway for the study. Findings from the study attributed political thuggery in Ofu Local Government Area Kogi State Nigeria, to a plethora of factors, among which are: unemployment, frustration, and bad governance. The study recommends the initiation of aggressive skill acquisition and job creation programmes by the Kogi State Government to effectively engage the army of unemployed youth in the study area to divert them from political thuggery while law enforcement should be strengthened to prosecute state and non-state actors found to be the sponsors of thugs whom they deploy to snatch ballot papers and engage in mayhem before, during and after elections in the study area, to serve as deterrent to others.

“…More efforts made by the Federal Government of Nigeria towards improving the health and standard of living is by embracing the MDGs and SDGs policies of the united nations through the establishment of the office of the senior special assistant to the president on MDGs/SDGs. Bauchi state has recorded reasonable efforts in the aspect of health care delivery at the grass root through the establishment of the Bauchi State Primary Health Care Development Agency (BSPHCDA) in 2012 (NPHCDA, 2015), and other sister agencies such as the Bauchi State Agency for the Control of Aids Tuberculosis and Malaria (BACATMA) (Umar, 2016) [26] . The BSPHCDA is saddled with the responsibility of providing health care infrastructure such as health centers, health clinics, and dispensaries etcetera (Umar 2016) [26] .…”

Stepwise multiple regression technique was used to predict body weight from linear body measurements in the savannah muturu cattle (Bos brachyceros). Sexual dimorphism was a significant (P˂0.05) source of variation for body weight (BW), ear length (EL), body length (BL), chest girth (CG), horn length (HL) and height at withers, with higher values reported for the males. Correlation coefficients between body weight and linear body measurements and within linear body measurements were all positive and significant (P˂0.01) irrespective of the sex of the cattle. The regression technique established highly reliable equations for predicting body weight from chest girth, body length and horn length. The best model for predicting body weight was BW = -72.908 + 1.738 CG + 3.511 HL. Information derived from this study may find application in selection for improvement of traits of economic importance in the muturu cattle.
