Male Preference and Marital Stability in Cross River State, South South Nigeria
The issue of marital instability and its causes has received much attention of recent from experts in diverse fields of study. One of such causes that have been identified and taken up for study is male preference. This study takes a look the effects of male preference on marital stability in Cross River State. Respondents for the study were systematically selected from the population of study (ever married persons). Data for the study was gathered using qualitative techniques of data collection. Focus group discussions and in depth interviews were held with participants and key informants who were selected purposively for their experience in marriage and the issue under discourse. One important feature of the people studied is their lineage system. They are patrilineal in nature and prefer large families mostly for economic purposes as well as the continuity of the lineage. The study found that because it is a partriachal society, there was a strong preference for male children. It was also found that preference for male children was mostly expressed by the female participants, with the major reason being the stability of their marriage. Thus it was observed that, where there was a preference to fulfill the needs of the couple, the marriage was more likely to be unstable, especially in the later stages of the marriage. It was also observed that cultural norms and values prevalent in the state contributed immensely in enhancing and sustaining male preference. The paper therefore concludes that improvement in the status of women is very crucial in the task of reducing male preference. There is also the need for development, especially of the rural areas as one of the remedies for curbing those aspects of the culture that support male child preference, and its consequent implications on marital stability.

INTEGRATED APPROACHES TO GEOPOLITICS AND RISKS IN INTERNATIONAL POLITICS
The paper examines the nature and impact of geopolitics on the global oil and gas business. It shows the relationship between politics and what nature provides such as oil and gas and the interplay between and among nations, people and institutions within the framework of geopolitics. The paper adopts the secondary methodology in order to investigate the risks (impact) attached to geopolitics. Findings show that, the concept of geopolitics is so versatile and multidimensional, enveloped by a varying degree of risks. The paper concludes that geopolitics is a reality that all oil companies must face, bust most risks are faced in mostly politically and economically instable regions of the world. The paper recommends that, to deal with issues of risks in geopolitics, there has to be constant preparation for emergencies, slowing the growth of demand and increasing supplies among others.
