is borne out of the usual big talk of love for the fatherland and various activities by
those who truly love this country called NIGERIA. To many who do not know, our
land that is watered by the Niger and Benue and located between the sandy wastes
and Gulf of Guinea, washed by the mighty Atlantic is now an arena for uncertain
future. The reason is not farfetched. Our country is over time faced with problems
of leadership, governance and nation building.
One would agree with me that Nigeria being a heterogeneous sovereign state
should have developed beyond imaginations considering the abundant resources
the country is blessed with. However human actions and inaction have been a hindrance to the growth of the country. One could only pray for God‟s intervention in all aspects of the country's economy.

Even though morality cannot be legislated, but behaviour of man can be regulated. The law may not change the heart but it can restrain the heartless. Wherever law ends, tyranny begins. Be you never so high, the law is above you. Be you so low, the law would protect you.
Distinguish ladies and gentlemen; this paper is aimed at setting clearer the provisions of the constitution on the issues of rape, sexual harassment and bribery in tertiary institutions. It is also aimed at empowering students and parents to be able to challenge the ills of sexual harassment and bribery. The supremacy of the constitution over acts of various institutions would also be examined. The need for government to take the issue of sexual harassment and bribe taking in institutions would be addressed.
Lastly, an overall conclusion and recommendations would be submitted.

The world is gone. ICT means creative application of computer skills to generate computer applications that will save time, stress, cost of managing or handling human affairs, and adding quality to living. Every field of human endeavour needs to reduce man hour, save cost, labour productivity, save stress, save time and that provides tremendous opportunities for youths who deploy their energy and passions into the learning of advance ICT training.
The paper would also show that the rate of unemployment will continue to increase because ICT will reduce the number of workers required in major departments and offices. But the employment opportunities have only shifted to the wise ones and the ICT literates. While most youths are studying traditional courses of computer, medicine, law, engineering etc. and looking for jobs, there are tremendous well-paying job opportunities in ICT without skilled people to match the opportunities. It is safe to consider from the end thoughts of this paper that learning the technical skills needed in ICT and being a professional in any field is tantamount to double blessing.

Where a court lacks jurisdiction over a matter, it lacks the vires to entertain and deliberate on it. A defect in competence is therefore fatal in that, it renders an entire proceedings, trial or findings invalid, null and void abinitio however brilliantly they must have been conducted and concluded . The International Criminal Court is an independent judicial institution with the power to try and punish individuals for the most serious crimes of International concern such as genocide, crimes against humanity, crimes of aggression, and war crimes. First approved in 1998 vide a treaty known as the Rome Statute, the International Criminal Court came into being on the 1st July, 2002, with its headquarters in The Hague. However, its proceeding may hold anywhere . The International Criminal Court has handled lots of cases, but the parties subject to prosecution before the court raise questions of serious concern.
The objective of this paper is to analyze the jurisdiction situation of the International Criminal Court vis – a- vis the reality of the existence of the court in the Africa polities, the limitation it had set down for the inefficient operation of the African Human Right Court, the usage of ICC as a witch hunting stage by Africans, the effect of Article 12 (3) and Article 13 (b) and the general challenges of the African States, with view to proffering recommendations to that effect.

The Osborn’s Concise Law Dictionary defines an election to be the process of choosing members of parliament by votes of the electorate . The elections are governed by the Representative of the people. It denotes the process of constituting accreditation, voting collation, recording on all prescribed INEC (Independent National Electoral Commission) forms and declaration of results. The collations of all results are therefore constituent elements of an election as known to law . Election is the process of selecting a person to occupy an office usually a public office. The Black Law Dictionary is off the view that general election is an election which is held throughout the entire federation or territory for the choice of a national, state, judicial district, country/county.

Surveyors play a vital role in resolving these disputes, leveraging their expertise to identify and mitigate risks, and provide objective evidence in mediation, arbitration, and litigation. Land disputes are a longstanding issue in Nigeria, stemming from a complex mix of traditional and statutory land ownership systems, inadequate land administration, and rapid urbanization. These disputes often result in protracted conflicts, financial losses, and emotional distress. The Nigerian surveying profession has a vital role to play in resolving these disputes, leveraging their expertise to identify and mitigate risks, and provide objective evidence in mediation, arbitration, and litigation. This paper explores the critical role surveyors play in land dispute resolution in Nigeria, examining their responsibilities, challenges, and best practices in mitigating risks and resolving disputes.

those who truly love this country called NIGERIA. To many who do not know, our
land that is watered by the Niger and Benue and located between the sandy wastes
