Abstract: This study examined the extent of contribution of tradermoni scheme incentives to invigorate small business
sector, with empirical approach of Oja-Oba ‘T’ Dada market beneficiaries. Government introduced an empowerment scheme
only for petty and small traders to mitigate poverty and improve small businesses. The area of study was Oja-Oba ‘T’ Dada
Market, Ota (otherwise known as Oja-Ota) in Ogun State, Nigeria. A survey research was conducted. The population
consisted of petty and small traders who have benefited from tradermoni scheme and were purposively selected. Primary
source of data was adopted via a structured questionnaire and interview. Fifty (50) questionnaires were administered to the
respondents, and forty-five (45) copies were correctly filled and returned on schedule giving a 90% response rate. The
respondents consisted of petty and small businesses owners. The data was analysed by descriptive and inference statistical
(Analysis of Variance) techniques. The formulated hypothesis was further tested using t-test via the assistance of Statistical
Package for Social Sciences version 21.0. Findings revealed that tradermoni scheme incentives invigorated the beneficiaries
businesses at a very slow pace and might take an average of 12 days for small business to realize any benefit(s). The result
2.86 (p<0.05) was statistically significant. The study concluded that empowerment scheme was timely, but on the field,
thousands of traders have not benefited as claimed arguably due to ineffective and inefficient channels of communication
adopted by government agencies in charge of the scheme. Also the loan amount allocated for the initial phase was too small
considering the effect of inflation on the naira. We recommended that government ministries, departments and agencies in
charge of the scheme should provide financial report on the amount spent so far, numbers of beneficiaries per state, adopt
communication channels targeted to low-income earners, and review policy framework to strengthen the scheme in order to
meet its primary objectives now and in the nearest future.

Authors: Asekun-Olarinmoye, Olusesan; Pride, Chudey; Ogbemi, Ogbiten; Akpoveta, Emmanuel
Abstract: This paper explores the nature, operations and propellers of media systems across five countries: China, Japan,
North Korea, South Korea and Australia, based on their political, socio-cultural and economic foundations and
identifies the theoretical and regulatory framework that determine the nature of the Media system in those
nations. Anchored on the trans-cultural perspective of Comparative media research, the findings depict an
increased environment of liberalism in some specific areas especially with regard to Information and
communication technology platforms and an unpretentious blend of various normative media theories especially
the strangle hold of authoritarianism in some of the countries and concerted independent efforts by the media to
promote sanity and dignity of media practice while promoting democratic values and national development.

Authors: Akpoveta, Emmanuel Ejomafuvwe; Ogbemi, Ogbiten Brickins
Abstract: The series of clashes between indigenes and settlers in Nigeria have become so alarming that
it urgently calls for concern. The paper examines the role of the media in helping to unite
indigenes and settlers for harmonious living. The primary roles of the media are education,
information, entertainment and socialization among others. Through these functions, the
media can achieve unitary living between indigenes and settlers in various communities in
Nigeria that are usually prone to clashes of all sorts. The media can report clashes without
sensational headlines that can aggravate further clashes. The theoretical perspectives of this
paper are the Dependency and Agenda setting theories. The paper concludes that the media
as agents of change can be used to change attitude and behaviour that degenerate to clashes
between indigenes and settlers in Nigeria communities. The paper recommends among other
things that the mass media of communication should focus their features articles and
broadcast news on the fostering of unity between indigenes and settlers in Nigeria.

Authors: Wilfred, 0lley O.; Ogbiten, Brickins O.
Abstract: This study evaluates the degree of awareness, misconceptions, and attitudes to media messages on family planning methods in Abraka community in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State. It employed the survey method of research, using a sample of one hundred and twenty (120) respondents who were purposively chosen from different parts of Abraka community in Delta State. The research also involved an examination of secondary data to generate data and assumptions for the study. Data generated were analysed using simple percentage and presented with the aid of tables. Findings revealed that the youths in Abraka are aware of family planning, and believe that family planning should be encouraged. They also agee that the mass media do give the messages concerning family planning. Findings also reveal that the majority of the respondents are of the view that they get their family planning messages from radio, television and newspapers mainly. However, the majority of the respondents believe that Radio is the most effective source for media messages on family planning. The study therefore recommends that the mass media should focus also on enlightening the youths on the dangers of unwanted pregnancies as illiteracy is found to be a major factor which still sustains it in the community under study and that health organisations and reproductive health partners in Delta State should partner with the mass media on advocacy efforts with a view to promoting family planning more at the grassroots level.2012-01-01T00:00:00Z
