    Negative life events and aggressive behavior of Efunsetan Aniwura
    (2012-11) Okunola, R. A.; Ojo, M. O. D.
    Proofs have emerged in Psychology that people with negative life events can be subjected to various anti-social behaviors, especially ones that are very aggressive and very inimical to the peace and order of the society. This paper examines the negative life events of Madam Efunsetan Aniwura and the consequential effects of such events on her behavior. It traces the history of the woman and examines the negative life events she experienced. The paper diagnoses the effects of her psychological problem on the society and the life end of this woman. Finally, it recommends the thorough examination of other pre-colonial personalities who shared similar life circumstances and using the findings to explain the current behaviours of the people undergoing the same or similar socio-psychological problems.

    Re-assessing the relevance and efficacy of yoruba Gods as agents of punishment: a study of Sango and Ogun
    (2012) Okunola, R. A.; Ojo, M. O. D.
    The general objective of this paper was to investigate the relevance and efficiency of Yoruba gods in the administration of punishment and justices on crime commitment. Two Yoruba gods (Sango and Ogun) were principally chosen. Six hundred (600) participants were conveniently sampled from three localities from three geo-political states in the western part of Nigeria. Univariate and bivariate analyses were used in the description of the samples and frequency distribution tables were employed in the presentation of the data. The results show that Yoruba natives still fear and respect these gods. The gods are still relevant and efficient in the administration of punishment on crime commission. The Yoruba natives show preference for the non-conventional punishments of these gods to modern criminal justice systems. Finally, the paper recommends the opinion survey polls on the inclusion of the invocations of these gods in the criminal justice systems of Nigeria and the likely implementations of the invocations in official swearing in ceremony for political and public office holders and the administration of the invocations in Nigerian courts of law.
