Abstract: The paper investigated dividends of security in managing education for the attainment of sustainable development goals in Anambra State, Nigeria. Three research questions were answered and a null hypothesis tested. The population was all principals and teachers in Anambra State. Post Primary Schools Service Commission (P.P.S.S.C.) numbering 5,566 200 respondents consisting of 50 principals and 150 teachers were used. A structured self-developed questionnaire was used for data collection. Data were analysed with mean and t-test at .05 level of significance. Major findings of the study included teacher-related problems caused by lack of security, principals-related problems of insecurity and strategies towards realizing sustainable development goals. The study concluded that effective security will go a long way in helping the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals. Based on the findings, it was recommended among others the need for better funding of security projects and sensitization of the public to be more security conscious because security demands collective efforts for it to be effective.

Abstract: The study explored market women’s perception of what constitutes child abuse and neglect in their daily interactions with their wards at Batati market. This main market in Bida was purposively selected and divided into five zones and using systematic sampling techniques, 40 shops owned by women were selected per zone. Two hundred women who consented participated in the study. One woman (owner or assistant) was interviewed per shop. A self-developed interview scheduled test for validity and reliability with correlation co-efficient result of 0.89 was used to collect data. Findings revealed that 65% and 60% had experienced street hawking and load carrying respectively during childhood. About 44.5% had stayed long hours in the market with their parents or relations. Majority (70%) perceived load carrying services by children, and using children as beggar assistants as child abuse while scolding, beating and starving children were perceived as training measures rather than abuse. While the study revealed some degree of awareness about some behaviours that constitute child abuse and neglect certain other behaviours were not regarded as such. Implications for educational programmes among women in urban centres were highlighted.

Abstract: Mevlana Jalal-uddin Rumi, (1207-1273) a mystic, sufi, scholar and a poet, borned around eight centuries ago, contributed magnificently to promote humanity, love, peace, tolerance, compassion, respect to each other through education (sufisium, mysticism) and dialogue. Rumi strictly followed the Islamic teachings for building up peace in society as well as globally, as prophet PBUH says “You are all from Adam and Adam is created from earth. O servants of GOD be brothers and sisters“. To foster love, tolerance, peace and harmony, Rumi stressed for provoking education and interfaith dialogue b/w the peoples of different religions, as education is the only weapon which we can use to transform the world (Nelson Mandela) and the dialogue provides ultimate framework of mutual acceptance to each other’s identity along with existing rich diversity of culture and values. Therefore his message of interfaith universality is ruling without any religious discrimination and bias he says Rumi belongs to each one of them. His poetry and prose writings consist of spiritual content which is the universal language of the human soul. His magnum opus, masterpiece the Masnawi (collection of 25,668 couplets) captures the heart of spiritual lovers and seekers because of its truth, purity, divines and the concept of “oneness of GOD”. Rumi inculcates in his Masnawi,“All my couplets are a climate of wisdom, all these stories teach a lesson” he narrated “our Masnawi is a shop of divine oneness whatever you see there, other than one is a false idol” Rumi was completely lost in the love of GOD as a result ultimately blessed with the most noblest form of divine wisdom through reflection and intuition, he says “I have become a lover and most people realized it but they didn’t understand who is the one I Love”.
