Election on the other hand is the fulcrum of democracy hence; election related violence cannot be discussed without the role of security agencies and various non-state actors in the elections. This is a prerequisite for maintenance of law and order that brings about stability and enhances national security. Nigerian democracy since inception has been a subject of controversy with periodic elections consistently marred with issues of violent crises and insecurity. The 2015 and 2019 general elections in Nigeria were no different, the two elections recorded the height of ethno-religious tension in the history of Nigerian election as well as ethno-religious violence that threatened the indivisibility of the entire country. While the 2015 was relatively peaceful despite the violence tension it created in the pre-election campaigning, the 2019 elections were marred with violence. More so, the elections were held in the most insecure atmosphere with the Boko Haram conflict and the herders/farmers conflict going in the northeast and north central zones simultaneously. In addition, security during elections was a source of concern. The Police and other security agencies were often accused of partiality during electoral processes. The paper carries out a comparative analysis of electoral violence during 2015 and 2019 general elections. Drawing data from both primary and secondary sources such as in-depth interviews, key informant interviews (KII), questionnaires and extant literatures

It is a way of expressing feelings. Flamenco was considered a world intangible heritage of humanity by UNESCO and is a part of the identity and culture of Andalucía, place where it originated. Flamenco is a symbol of Spanish culture around the world. In addition, it has been discovered that there is a typology of flamenco tourists whose motivation is related to the search of experience and authenticity in the tourist destination. A search of published scientific articles on emotional tourism, motivation and flamenco has been conducted using three databases: Web of Science, Scopus and Google Scholar. Flamenco is an art that transmits passion in each of its three components: song, dance and music. Therefore, tourism management of the sites where flamenco is part of its identity must bet on its development and potential as a motivating factor to travel, bringing the ...

The founding of the South China mission is an instructive story. It provides valuable information about western colonialism in Asia, the genesis of American Baptist foreign missions, the life stories and mission strategies of individual Baptist missionaries, and cross-cultural collaborations between westerners and early Chinese converts to Christianity. Relying on historical narratives and missionary memoirs, this brief essay provides a concise overview of an important chapter in the growth of global Christianity.

In fulfilling this tasking responsibility, the state explores all necessary tools especially when groups such as BHT challenge its monopoly to the use of force and threatens to erode national security. The FG in response to this set up a National Information Centre to communicate it efforts in the COIN operation in NE Nigeria, which includes using the media as tools to counter violent narratives, enhanced conflict sensitive reportage, denying access to, and effectively containing the deployment of media platform by BHT to weaken national security in the NE Nigeria. However, these efforts have been hampered by several challenges and have prolonged the COIN in the NE. The current practice that subsumes media for national security under the Office of the Nation...
