This paper intends to investigate the extent to which students of the College of Law, Igbinedion University use their mobile phones for the purpose of helping them get academic information. The paper investigates how often the students use the internet on their mobile phones and what interest them most on the internet. It aims to determine how often they visit the internet for academic purpose. Five research questions were determined and tested with questionnaire serving as the main instrument for data collection. A total of 150 questionnaires were distributed and all 150 were duly filled and returned, out of which 148 was found usable, representing 98.7% of the representative total population. The analysis of the students ‘perception showed that majority of the students use their mobile phones to search for academic information. The paper also finds out that after academic information, the next highly used function of the mobile phone is for social networking, chatting and reading the news online. It concludes by recommending introduction of mobile learning in the university. 1 results 1

- Previous studies on alms begging in the fields of medicine, psychology, sociology, journalism, and discourse analysis have depicted the phenomenon as a simple activity of requesting by indigent individuals who were often viewed as linguistically deficient. These studies did not adequately account for the context-driven and implicit communicative acts performed by beggars, thus limiting the understanding of this pragmatic phenomenon in society. Therefore, this study examined alms begging in Lagos state with a view to describing its distinctive pragmatic acts and implications. The study applied a modified version of Pragmatic Act theory, which is suitable for describing and interpreting speeches and communicative behaviours in naturally occurring conversational interactions. Using the observation method, speeches and other communicative behaviours of 100 purposively selected beggars were collected from 4 types of locations (public institutions, venues of social events, vehicle stations, and on the streets) in all the 20 local government areas of Lagos State by tape recording and note taking, in order to have a balanced representation of various types of begging behaviours. The data were subjected to pragmatic analysis. Discourse Conditioning Acts (DCAs) and Purpose Execution Acts (PEAs) are the two distinctive but intertwined pragmatic acts found in alms begging. Discourse Conditioning Acts were executed verbally (indirect speech acts) and non-verbally (psychological and physical acts). Beggars‘ indirect speech acts comprised arguing (attention-seeking, affinity negotiating, claiming, denying, complaining, protesting, questioning and threatening), use of politeness (tact, positivism, quietism, and sympathy) and appropriation of idioms. Beggars‘ psychological acts manifested as strategies of mood variation (weeping, sobbing, hissing and laughing), while their physical acts consisted of the strategies of body moves (posing, gazing, beckoning, nodding, bowing, waving and dancing). Both the psychological and the physical acts were extra-linguistic behaviours which beggars used to reinforce their verbal acts in order to emphasise their goal-driven, situation-constrained desperation. Beggars used DCAs to set-up and co-opt others, thereby compelling their target to give alms. Purpose Execution Acts used in obtaining alms, were direct acts, which included three types of direct speech acts (expressives, commissives and directives) together with their corresponding features of (telling, promising and requesting respectively). On the streets, beggars were inclined to use more PEAs than DCAs but in the other types of begging locations (public institutions, venues of social events, and vehicle stations) they use more DCAs than PEAs because of temporal and spatial contextual advantages. While beggars in Lagos state rely on Discourse conditioning acts to set-up and to co-opt potential alms givers, they employ Purpose execution acts to obtain alms from their targets. Thus, begging in the state is a complex, skilled activity which exhibits a considerable level of beggars‘ pragmatic competence. A comparative pragmatic study of alms begging in the Northern and Southern regions of Nigeria is expected to reveal more pragmatic acts performed by beggars. 1 results 1

- The study examined psycho-demographic factors as predictors of depression among persons with diabetes mellitus in Ibadan metropolis. A cross-sectional survey method was adopted to collect data from two hundred and thirty eight respondents with one hundred and fifteen (48.3%) males; and one hundred and twenty-three (51.7%) females and age ranging from 17 - 74 years with mean (x) 44.3 years and standard deviation (SD) 12.1. The result of regression analysis suggested that hopelessness, life purpose, and gender were significant independent predictors of depression, while the variables jointly predicted depression; R =.44; F (7,237) = 8.12; P < .005. Also, the variables jointly accounted for 17% (Adj. R2 = .174) variance on the depression. Low life purpose has a significant influence on depression (t = 3.48; P <.05). In conclusion, the study found that the above psycho-demographic variable has significant influence on depression. Therefore, it was recommended that government, and non-governmental organizations should create more public awareness on the possible effect of those variables that was found to have negative influence on depression in our society. 1 results 1
- The true sale doctrine is the foundation of every securitisation transaction. Assets transferred to a Special Purpose Vehicle in a securitisation transaction can only he bankruptcy remote if the transfer was a true sale transaction. Yet, the doctrine is surrounded by controversies and complexities. While some jurisdictions are using legislation to settle this controversy for the benefit of the investors and the broader economy, the Nigerian position is still unclear, confusing and without direction. This paper is an attempt to draw attention to the significance of true sale as it relates to the sale of receivables in asset securitisation. In doing this this paper considered the Asset Backed Securitisation Act of the United States of American States of Delaware and Texas and English courts position on true sale to underscore the importance of the doctrine This article further considered the position of the Nigerian Securities and Exchange Commission Rules on Securitisation and its limitations with regards to true sale doctrine. The paper concludes that the Nigerian position is not in tandem with international best practices and recommends the enactment of a securitisation law that will specifically address the question of true sale doctrine 1 results 1
