Item physical disability is a measure(Department of sociolgy,Osun State universtiy,Osogbo, 2020) Busari,D; Baruwa,LPhysical disability is a measurable limitation that interferes with a person's physical or rnental impairment that is long term or recurring and limits substantially their potentials of entry intp and advancement in employment. The degree of the limitation is often dependent on the form of impairment, as well as the resilience of both the individual and society. These variances in forms and adaptation modes constitute major problems faced by physically challenged students. Study examined resilience strategies adopted by students with physical disabilities ill tertiary institutions in Ibadan. Data collected using in-depth interviews from fifty student with physical disabilities, selected using purposive and snowballing sampling techniques and analysed thematically. Result indicated that institutional facilities or support put in placc: f o ~ students with physical disabilities in tertiary institutions are often inadequate, and at other times, entirely non-existent, forcing them to depend on the good will of non-disabled peers to get by.Item Transactional politics: the manifestations of the challenges of 'infrastructure of the stomach' and 'infrastructure for the stomach' in Nigeria(2020) Busari,DIn Nigeria, the politics of poverty and the poverty of politics seem to have coalesced to produce a phenomenon known as 'infrastructure of the stomach' in the polity. Infrastructure of the stomach is a politically induced lexicon that gives a diametrically opposed verdict of representation and empowerment. 'Stomach infrastructure' is a reality projected by the Nigerian politicians on the vulnerable electorate who for poverty are encouraged to mortgage their fundamental right of freedom to choose who governs them in exchange for immediate gratification in monetary, food, or other material terms. The literal import of the transactional terminology of 'stomach infrastructure' is the moving of the meaning of infrastructure out of the context of where it is normally found and linking it with the stomach instead. The contradiction generated by the contending forces of 'infrastructure of the stomach' and 'infrastructure for the stomach' is seemingly based on a play on words and plurality of ideologies that takes the meaning of infrastructure out of the context of where it is normally found, linking it instead with the stomach. But the source of its impact is not merely and only linguistic; more properly, it is socio-economic. This binary thinking and nuance dominate, dictate and energise the structure of the Nigeria electoral process; it is either a support for stomach infrastructure which invariably can stand for vote-buying or support for infrastructure of the stomach that may translate to theoverall development of the entire social structure and systemItem Ire Gbogbo' Polical Rhetoric in Nigeria's 2015 General Elections. An Orunmilast Sociological Perspective(2017) Busari,D; Owojuyigbe,M.A; Mekoa,IThis paper adopts the valuation of the sociologist as the 'arokun' of the society who applied 'ifongbo t'aiyese', and interrogates the poitical rhetoric used in campaign speeches and write-ups prior to the 2015 general elections along the lines of the common social values encaosulated in the principles of ire-gbogbo (the valve of collectivity), ire oko-aya (the value of good health), ire owo (financial security), ire oko-aya (the value of self-actualization). Akinwowo's varlations in the theme of sociation provide an insightful framework for this paper, which attempts a content analysis of selected rhetorics. the paper argues tht in line with ifongbo t'aiyese grounded in the Orunmilaist sociological perspertive, the social values of ire-gbogbo provides the theoretical foundations for social collectivity and nationhood development, and further highlights albeit theoretically that the failings of politicians to include these core values in their speeches (or their deceptive misuse of them),under develop the nation by bringing upon it diverse forms of social ils.it concludes that Nigeria's development as nation is inhibited by elements of igbinkugbin (sifling alien cultures) such as character assassination,insult-hurling. which are bye-products of the strife laden ajogbe society.Item Female genital mutilation as sexual disability:perceptions of women and their spouses in Akure,Ondo State, Nigeria(2017) Owojuyigbe,M; Bolorunduro,M.E; Busari,DDisability encompasses the limitations on an individual’s basic physical activities, and the consequent social oppressions such individual faces in society. In this regard, the limitation on the use of some parts of the genitals in a patriarchal system is considered a form of disability. This paper describes the perceptions of and the coping mechanisms employed by affected couples dealing with the consequences of female genital mutilation (FGM) as a form of sexual disability. Cultural Libertarianism was employed as a theoretical framework. The paper presents the results of a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria, with 10 male and 12 female respondents purposively selected through a snowball sampling for in-depth interviews. The findings present the justifications provided for the practice of FGM, and victims’ perceptions of how it affects their sexual relations. Furthermore, it highlights coping strategies employed by affected women and their spouses. The study shows that the disabling consequence of FGM is largely sexual in nature, leading to traumatic experiences and negative beliefs about sex, and requiring a myriad of coping strategies employed by the disabled women, and their spouses, which may have its own implications for marital and sexual bliss.
