Drugs addiction is no longer presented as a conscious and voluntary construct, but rather through its drawbacks effects on family production patterns. This reality can be observed in some social groups. As a matter of fact, the management of material resources generated by the production in some families constantly requires the definition of adaptive strategies. The family, in the African context, stands as the economic institution both in terms of production and consumption (Adepoju, 1999). As such, families adopt many strategies in order to mobilize and raise those resources needed for the survival of its whole members. The social distribution of the production work load is part and parcel of how to organize resources generation. In such a context, one can understand the outbreak of child labor (Imorou, 2006) along the strong pressure put on the youth so as to ensure the fulfillment of their commitment to support to migrate from other family members. Moreover, some young men are even encouraged to migrate in order to get resources they cannot raise at local level (Adepoju, 1999).","PeriodicalId":388728,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research in Sociology and Anthropology","volume":"118 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116352926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

AIM, of proven quality, safety, and efficacy, contribute to the goals of ensuring that all people have access to care. is care that is close to their homes, accessible and affordable. It is also culturally acceptable and trusted by large numbers of people. The affordability of most AIM makes them all the more attractive at a time of soaring health-care costs and nearly universal austerity. AIM also stands out as a way of coping with relentless rise of chronic non-communicable diseases. It should however be noted that in spite of the importance of AIM to the health of the people, it raises questions of safety and quality. There are reports that quack African indigenous healers have taken advantage of desperate and hapless patients. Consequently, there is an urge to develop legal and policy frameworks to regulate the activities of indigenous African medical practices.","PeriodicalId":388728,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research in Sociology and Anthropology","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130582267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In broad sense, it is the worship of the people having contribution to their village, local community and nation. In a narrow sense, it refers to the worship of the deceased blood relatives to meet the functions of reflecting and strengthening of clans.

The global policy shift from the Millennium Development Goals (MDG‘s) at the end of its tenure in 2015 to the adoption of Sustainable Development Goals (as set by the United Nations following consultations on the Post 2015 Development Agenda), clearly established the need for renewed thinking and alternative paradigms in development cooperation to ensure environmental stability and sustainability. The term ―green conditionality‖ has become the driving force for so called ―green institutions‖ towards ensuring sustainable development, as states rush to meet up with environmental protection measures. However, the spectacle of conservation to guarantee human well being and safe guard natural habitats relied on the premise that man and his environment are one in a whole. The fundamental thinking underlying the discourse propagated by international environment agencies and organizations is axed on the argument that it is in man‘s own interest to diminish and or placate actions that seemingly contribute towards global environmental deterioration 1 . Regrettably, this had been impaired by the controversies surrounding discourses on environmental sustainability, the major point of contention being the destructive influence of man‘s actions on the ecosystem. As exhaustively argued in The Lie of the Land (Leach & Mearns, 1996), the foundations of science and policy discourse regarding environmental sustainability and protection has operationalized environmental sustainability actions as ―received wisdom‖, justifying the need for the West and environmental conservation agencies to take concerted actions to save the planet from man‘s destructive influence.","PeriodicalId":388728,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Research in Sociology and Anthropology","volume":"270 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133348916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
