I am delighted to present to you this August edition of JOALLS. In essence, it is a compilation of eight papers which explore unique issues that face humanity in different ways. Your duty as scholars is to further interrogate the ways in which authors have presented the issues they address in their papers. The stringent requirements that higher education institutions put for their academics to get promoted to senior, lecturer, associate professor and professor grades in some cases have resulted in what Ngeh terms ‘meal ticket scholarship’.

The hearty professor of Political Science from the University  of Zimbabwe and former Cabinet Minister in the late former President R G Mugabe’s reign, Professor Jonathan Moyo once remarked: ‘Only a fool does not change his mind’. Does anyone who does change their minds/perspectives answer to the call of wisdom or they actually buttress the foolishness therein ingrained in their life’s outlook/worldview, generally? What is there to gain or lose by adjusting perceptions, positions, persuasions, and strategies to be an active agent in the pursuit of life in its fullness?
