MASS MEDIA MESSAGES AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IN NIGERIA
(2016) Dauda,B
Mass media has saturated the industrialized world. The television in the living room, the newspaper on the doorstep, the radio in the car, the computer at work and the fliers in the mailbox are just a few of the media channels daily delivering news, opinion, music and other forms of mass communication. These days, abuse messages are preoccupied with grabbling attention and sustaining interest, rather than transferring persuasion messages. This has largely been due to a perception to build women’s self-confidence, discourage men from gender-based violence, and to make society take notice and speak up instead of look away. This article therefore shows the portrayals of women in different messages in the media. Against these backdrops of emerging trends globally and in Nigeria, this article provides an insightful ethnography of mass media messages directed at eradicating domestic violence and as a tool for advocating for violence against women and more specifically, to promote awareness of and to prevent domestic violence in Nigeria.

The study recommends that more advocacies should be encouraged to guide against abuse of partners by both genders.
The Legality and Legitimacy of Marijuana Consumption in Nigeria
(2016) Dauda,B
In recent times, marijuana has enjoyed a momentous rise in consumption despite the various campaigns for the abolition or complete eradication of the consumption of illicit drugs in Nigeria. In the bid to restrain or exterminate the consumption, there has been a rise in the application of penal sanctions on the farmers, the sellers and the consumers of marijuana in Nigeria.Employing a discursive analysis of secondary data, this paper, therefore, raises the question of whether the trend in the level of punishment has developed in harmony with popular opinion, something which both antagonists and supporters of penalties of greater severity seem to take for granted
