Education has been seen as the bedrock of development in any society. This paper takes a critical look at the Socratic method of imparting knowledge and how it can help learners to build creative ability that can lead to sustainable development in the society. Socrates stated that ideas are formed from the mind and with systematic questioning, man can reason out Solutions to life bordering issues in order to create, innovate as well as proffer Solutions to society's problems. This paper examines Socrates' dialogue with Menno, about a slave boy who was able to solve geometric equation without being taught by a teacher. The paper did not suggest a policy or skill, rather it emphasised the role of a teacher in helping to draw out or lead out the hidden potentials innate in man 3 results 3

- For close to five decades, law faculties and the Nigerian Law School teaching has relied on an education model that focuses on theory, providing minimal opportunity for students to learn and apply the practical problem-solving skills critical to becoming a competent lawyer in real world settings. Modern learning theory provides direction, and the tools are available for improving the legal education system to prepare students for the practice of law. The perspectives and recommendations in this article are presented with the intent of encouraging discussion about the future of legal education in Nigeria. This article is broadly divided into five sections i. e. concept analysis, history of legal education, Pre-NUC; the era of NUC; era of Clinical legal cum NUC and finally proposals for developing an ideal curriculum for legal education in Nigeria. The first section provides an overview of the history and status of legal education. The second section discusses the learning theory and how the profession has fared. It provides answers to criticism as it addresses curriculum, teaching, faculty, and affordability. With high optimism for the future of the profession and the legal education system, I invite you to consider and deliberate on the issues raised in this paper. It is not only possible, but essential, to create a Legal Education for the 21st Century. It is remarkable to state that traditionally, lawyers and law teachers have been resistant to change, arguing that the profession is a noble and conservative one thus not allowing fpr any inference whatsoever. The dynamic reality and the challenges of 21st century legal practice require an equally dynamic and timely response. This paper has outlined one such response: i.e. proposing a workable curriculum for training 21st Century lawyers 1 results 1

- In an attempt to find solution to cheating which characterizes age-declaration at many age-group competitions, various methods including chronological age and physiological age (skeletal age) have been adopted to ascertain what is called “truly” “under-18” for secondary school sports competition. But rather than solving the problem, these methods seem to have created more problems. This study then ventured into another method which pull together the use of the above two stated method into one. The method called exponent system was tested and eventually adopted successfully during the 1998, All Nigeria Secondary School Sports Federation Competition held in Abuja. 1 results 1
- In this work, the capability of MATLAB software package to develop graphical user interface (GUI) package was demonstrated. A GUI was successfully developed using MATLAB programming language to study the behaviour of a suspended column under uniaxial static loading by solving the numerical model created based on the finite element method (FEM). The comparison between the exact solution from previous researches and the numerical analysis showed good agreement. The column average strain, average stress and average load are equivalent but more accurate to the ones obtained when the whole column is taken as one element (two nodes for one dimensional linear finite element problem). It was established in this work that MATLAB is not only a software package for numerical computation but also for application development. 1 results 1

- Nigeria experienced a civil war between 1967 and 1970 which claimed millions of lives on the Federal and Biafran sides. Studies exist on trend, execution and termination of the war but the pre-war and war time conflict management strategies have not been fully explored. This study therefore, examined the strengths and weaknesses of the various management strategies adopted by the conflict parties prior to the outbreak of hostilities as well as those employed during the war with a few to identifying lessons derived from the management strategies. The study adopted a qualitative approach, utilising a combination of descriptive and case study research designs. Data were obtained from primary and secondary sources. A total of six in-dept interviews were conducted with surviving war-time key actors and stakeholders from the Federal and Biafran sides. Two Focus Group Discussions were held in Enugu and Kaduna with war veterans. Archival materials were also consulted. Secondary data were collected from war-time memoirs, minutes of the Aburi accord, decrees, edicts and newspaper publications. A combination of content and descriptive mode of data analysis was employed. A mix of joint-problem solving and third party intervention strategies such as conciliation and mediation were adopted before the war commenced. The failure of these strategies to transform the conflict accounted for the optional strategy of confrontation and strategic withdrawal as the last resort. The leaders and parties to the conflict did not adopt compromise, cooperation and avoidance, but opted for competition as an alternative to joint problem solving. The inability to strike a balance between the cooperative and competitive orientation by the Biafran leader was fundamental to the failure of local and international concerted efforts to transform the conflict peacefully. This attitude made the 30 months war not only inevitable, but also unduly prolonged with devastating impact on both human and material resources. These were further complicated by the disposition of some of the mediators which created distrust between the disputing parties. The lessons from the conflict management strategies of the war are that the parties to the conflict were invariable not very experienced in understanding that the cost of war is enormous and more devastating than peace, which creates room for accommodation and joint problem solving. Also, strategic scenario analysis should include best, middle and worst case scenarios before making violent confrontation an option in any conflict. The pre-war and war-time conflict management strategies of the Nigerian civil war failed to achieve the desired result mainly because of the attitude and disposition of parties to the conflict. Leaders, therefore, need to be skilled in conflict management while dealing with intractable conflicts, so as to prevent its escalation. Efforts at peaceful management of conflicts should include compromise, accommodation, open-mindedness, trust and respect for human dignity. 1 results 1
