ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF SOCIAL PROBLEM IN NIGERIA

We seldom see reality, we only interpret what we see and call it reality. Most times symbolic images of truth and lies, good and evil, solid and liquid have been made on our minds and we live with them. if a  class is told to rate it's current instructor, it is unlikely he would be rated excellent by some students and unsatisfactory by some other students in the same class the instructors teaching behaviour however is a constant. even though the students see the same instructor they perceive his effectiveness differently.

 Generally perception could be said to be like beauty in that it lies in the eyes of the beholder  these encyclopaedia and its compilation would be in stages and particular social problems would be discussed and comments and contributions would be kept for record purposes.

 it is intended that a compilation would come up has we progress. introduction to these social problems would be given by professionals in different fields and we are all open to the discussion . lets see how we can help our leaders because it's obvious many of them have lost awareness 

Social problems are those social conditions identified by scientific inquiry and values as detrimental to human well-being.
A social problem is a condition that at least some people in a community view as being undesirable. Everyone would agree about some social problems, such as murders and high unemployment rate. Other social problems may be viewed as such by certain groups of people. Teenagers who play loud music in a public park obviously do not view it as a problem, but some other people may consider it an undesirable social condition. Some nonsmokers view smoking as an undesirable social condition that should be banned or restricted in public buildings.
