No full textEssien registers consternation at the news that we must leave the next day. A portrait of Coolidge Akpan Okon Essien, the person who started a Christian movement in Nigeria similar in doctrine and practice to American Churches of Christ. Essien began the movement after completing a Bible correspondence course from the Lawrence Avenue Church of Christ, located in Nashville, Tennessee. This photograph comes from an album that recounts Eldred Echols and Boyd Reese\u27s visit to Nigeria in 1950. The Lawrence Avenue Church of Christ in Nashville, Texas asked the two missionaries to visit Nigeria and report on an emerging indigenous Christian movement whose leader participated in a Bible correspondence course run by the Tennessee congregation. Upon their arrival, the missionaries found several thousand Christians led by Coolidge Akpan Okon Essien, from the Efik tribe in Eastern Nigeria, whose doctrine and practice were similar to that of American Churches of Christ.https://digitalcommons.acu.edu/coc_missions_photos/2687/thumbnail.jp

Language quality in Predatory and Non-Predatory Journal articles
No full textThe study compared the spelling, punctuation and grammar (SPaG)errors in 30 predatory and 30 nonpredatory journal English and literature-related articles. We used updates of Beall's list of predatory journals to select predatory journals published in 2018. Journals that were considered nonpredatory were open access journals published by institutions, learned organizations,indexed in DOAJ, Scopus, and /or web of science. The first 1000 words in each selected journal were checked for SPaG errors. The data were tabulated. Research questions were answered using simple percentages and charts. The analysis showed that predatory journal articles presented more SPaG errors than nonpredatory journal articles. The most prevalent errors were grammar errors in both types of articles

Modelling Project Complexity for Leadership Decision Making and Success in the Building Construction Industry in Lagos, Nigeria
Get PDFConstruction projects improve the built environment and human civilisation. However, the challenges arising from project complexity in the strategic era of Project Management (PM) have resulted in majority of projects around the world failing to deliver to stakeholders’ satisfaction. Particularly, building construction projects are inherently complex and this affects leadership decision-making and project success at project, organisation and institutional levels. This study argues that existing models of project complexity (MPC) are limited in their conceptualisation as they do not account for all the factors that influence project success, resulting in poor decision-making and project failure. This study examines failure relating to building collapse in Lagos, Nigeria. Therefore, a literature review revealed the main paradigms, concepts and constructs that influence project success in the PM, Business Management and Leadership Studies literature. The gaps in existing models informed the development of the novel Leadership Systems Response (LSR) framework which characterises project systems within organisation, environment and leadership constructs. The LSR framework was used as a conceptual lens for the research design, data collection and analysis using the epistemology of pragmatism, applying retroductive strategies and adopting the exploratory sequential mixed method approach and analysis techniques. The data collection tools were mainly interview and questionnaire while the data was analysed using content analysis, as well as descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings are based on the 2010 Building Industry Reforms (BIR) in Lagos and were used to validate and revise the LSR framework. The results suggest that projects are embedded in complex systems, which have endogenous and exogenous dimensions. These exist as complex adaptive organisation, environment and leadership, systems of which are in constant interaction with one another through people, in linear and non-linear social dynamics. Decision making must account for these dynamics to improve project outcomes. Additionally, leadership systems are essential to improve project success and maintain the adaptability of projects within complex systems. Therefore, this study’s main contribution to knowledge is the LSR framework as a new decision-making tool that can improve the way complex projects are conceptualised, particularly by researchers and practitioners
