THE PREFERENCE OF FOREIGN-BASED (MIGRANT) PLAYERS OVER HOME-BASED PLAYERS IN THE SUPER EAGLES OF NIGERIA: A COLORATION OF ‘COLONIAL MENTALITY’ by JOSEPH OKECHUKWU NWOKE

“…However,when it was time for the final list to be drawn there might not be any home-based players in the list or there might be an insignificant number that might end up not playing in such competition.There has been a lot of talk on the preference of foreign-based players over home-based players in the Super Eagles team.Hence, this study analyses the rate of selection in terms of percentage of home-based and foreign-based players in the Super Eagles team by some selected foreign and Nigerian coaches.The Hamitic hypothesis of Seligman is applied to show the nexus to the preference for foreign-based players.This study makes use of   primary and tertiary sources of data.Findings reveal that not only foreign coaches solely relied on foreign-based players, as some Nigerian coaches were equally masterminds of the unpatriotic act. Also, home-based players can be instrumental to performance of the team as was displayed in the 1990 and 2013 African Cup of Nations.This study recommends that a law should be passed forcing the coach to include at least four home-based players on the field of play whenever the team is in action. …”

Water Quality Evaluation and Influencing Factor Analysis of Nanwan Reservoir with a Bayesian Model Based on AHM-CRITIC Combination Weighting by SUN Geyao, DUAN Jingjing, ZHAO Jing

“…In a traditional Bayesian model,equal weights are assigned to different evaluation factors,and the difference in their contributions to water quality is thereby ignored.To address this problem,this paper introduces the attribute hierarchy model-criteria importance through intercriteria correlation (AHM-CRITIC) combination weighting on the basis of a traditional Bayesian model and constructs a Bayesian model for water quality evaluation based on AHM-CRITIC combination weighting.The water quality of Nanwan Lake and the water quality grades of the main tributaries inflowing into Nanwan Reservoir are quantitatively analyzed with the model by using measured monthly water quality data of reservoir sections and main inflow tributaries from 2012 to 2020,and the results are compared with those of other methods.The following findings are obtained.① From 2012 to 2015,Nanwan Lake basically maintained the water quality at the Class III standard.However,from 2016 to 2020,the water quality did not meet the Class III standard occasionally,with water of Class Ⅳ even appearing.The water quality of the Dongjiahe section was poor,while the water quality of the Xiaoshihe,Tanjiahe,Wudaohe,and Xijiahe sections was good.② The results of the Bayesian model with combination weighting for water quality evaluation are more consistent with those of the single factor index method and the improved Nemerow index method.Overcoming the shortcomings of the subjectively weighted Bayesian method,the proposed model can reflect the water quality of the reservoir more realistically and provide a technical basis for similar water quality evaluation.…”
