Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This work examines African proverbs in the light of its pedagogic impact on moral values in the society with reference to some select plays. Proverbs are those phrases that give witty advices used to impact knowledge, wisdom, moral values and teachings to the younger generation. African proverbs constitute important and strategic areas where the African philosophy of life can be extracted. In recent times, the plausibility of African proverbs being used as instrument of change and impacting moral values has been drastically reduced. This is said to have been stemmed from the lacuna created from the impact of western acculturation with Africa which distorted the African socio-cultural and indigenous worldview. The objective of this is to advance African proverbs as viable African centered approach to critical thinking. In the light of the foregoing, the work while adapting a qualitative methodology situates its argument on African proverbs as vessels for propagating change. The study notes that African proverbs are necessarily essential in the understanding and transmission of African epistemology geared towards creating knowledge for the betterment of human existence.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Households and other local entities require all forms of assistance to meet several of their basic needs. Conversely, the impact of all the aids received from foreign bodies on households and nonprofit institutions serving households in Nigeria is not yet clear. Therefore, we seek to x-ray a factor of aids {Net Official Development Assistance and Official Aid Received (NAID)} and its effects on an indicator of poverty {Households and NPISHs Final Consumption Expenditure (HNFC)} in Nigeria.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Onion is an important vegetable crop in Nigeria, where it is consumed in virtually every home. It is eaten raw with other vegetables, fried in stew or cooked. Cool conditions with an adequate moisture supply, are most suitable for early growth, followed by warm, drier conditions for maturation, harvesting and curing. Production of the crop is an income generating activity for many farmers, both amateurs' and specialists. The crop attracts high prices, especially during off season. That is why in the early part of the dry season, especially around November-December, the leaves pay as much as the bulbs in the latter part of the year. The book describes rudimentary knowledge of onion production and gives a relationship between number of leaves and age of the crop. Little information is also provided on the incidence of its major insect pest and period of major activity.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Dividend Policy refers to the policy concerning quantum of profits to be distributed as dividend. The term dividend refers to that part of profits of a company which is distributed by the company among its shareholders. It is the reward of the shareholders for investments made by them in the share of the company. The investors are interested in earning the maximum return on their investments and to maximize their wealth. A company, on the other hand, needs to provide funds to finance its long-term growth. Dividend Policy of a firm thus affects both the long-term financing and the wealth of shareholders. As a result, the firm's decision to pay dividends must be reached in such a manner so as to equitably apportion the distributed profits and retained earnings. Since dividend is a right of shareholders to participate in the profits and surplus of the company for their investment in the share capital of the company, they should receive fair amount of the profits. The company should, therefore, distribute a reasonable amount as dividends to its members and retain the rest for its growth and survival.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 52 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -It has been a long time since the development of industrial parks started in Ethiopia, but so far it has not achieved the expected growth. Most of the IP Constructions are aimed at attracting foreign investors rather than local investors. The IPs to be built should be well organized and infrastructures should be complete. Primarily, they must implement effective project management; If they cannot do this, they cannot be globally competitive. One of the main characteristics of effective project management is the implementation of systematic and formal project risk management.It is necessary to take into account the possibility of high risk in IP projects. If the project does not take into account the environmental and social aspects of the community, the duration of future development projects will be more dangerous. To solve this, when this study was conducted, the community was included by taking a sample of their understanding of the industrial park, and it was found that most of the employees and project managers do not have sufficient knowledge and skills in project risk management.Books on Demand GmbH, Überseering 33, 22297 Hamburg 76 pp. Englisch.
