Abstract: India and China have a lot in common, yet they are as different as chalk and cheese. For one, both have a history that dates back thousands of centuries. In fact these countries have had the longest uninterrupted history as a nation. Both China and India wield considerable influence on world economy thanks to their sheer size and population. They achieved independence in the same century, yet the manner in which freedom was won speaks volumes about their policies. Chinese independence was a result of a never seen before military backed aggression. India on the other hand, won freedom after a prolonged non violent struggle.

Abstract: An economy that does not seek and prepare to diversify, can equally be ready to crunch. Nations of the world have been endowed with mineral resources differently, which is why they cannot live in isolation. The argument as to whether primary resources rich nations of the world do better in economic activities or not, is a matter of whether there is diversification of their economies or not. Lack of diversification of their economies results from monoculture economic conditions. A number of countries have suffered from such crises emanating from the exploitation and development of single sectors of their economies. Part one of this work is the conceptualization of economic diversification. Development of the idea of the Dutch Disease(DD) is the part two of this work. The part three is contextualizing the DD. While, cases of the DD analysis forms our part four. The conclusion is part five which is the final section of this work.

Abstract: This paper examines the Aba festival as a channel of communication among the people of Etuno in Akoko Edo Local Government Area of Edo State, Nigeria. The rationale behind the paper is to ascertain whether the Irepa festival, which is celebrated once in six (6) years in Etuno, Igarra, is a good means of communication among the people. The study is anchored on symbolic interaction theory and the coordinated management of meaning theory. Aba festival is a good means of passing cultural messages among the people of Etuno in Igarra, Edo state. Festivity is a means of communicating among the Etuno people and it is still important in the contemporary society. Indigenous media can be used to transmit cultures, values and norms of the rural dwellers from one generation to the other. The paper concludes that ''Aba'' festival is very significant in Etuno land, but it has not been known to people in other communities. The paper therefore recommends among others, that traditional communities should have value for festivity as a means of communication.

Key Words: Festivity, Indigenous Communication, Culture and Cultural Transmission.

Abstract: The potential of radio to inform, educate and entertain its audience, its capacity to break illiteracy barriers as well as its power to penetrate into the remote areas of our rural communities with clear signal is well recognised. What is not known is how often rural people listen to radio and the type of programmes they show interest in; this study investigates radio listening habit of rural women and aimed at finding out how often they listen to radio, the kind of programmes that interest rural women and the gratifications they derive from listening to radio. Anchored on the uses and gratifications theory of the media, the study adopted survey research method and used questionnaire as an instrument of data collection. A total of 740 women drawn from Idemili South Local Government Area formed the sample of the study. Findings of the study show that a good number of rural women listen to radio and that programmes that interest them most are health related and agricultural programmes. The study recommends the utilisation of radio by government and its agencies for disseminating messages intended for rural people.
