This study examines the impact of political and public official corruption on Nigerian democracy and government legitimacy between 1999 and 2023. The research uses a qualitative descriptive approach, supported by documentary analysis, with the elite theory framework as the basis for gathering and evaluating relevant data. The study argues that the pervasive corruption within Nigeria’s democratic system is largely driven by the ruling elites, who control both political power and wealth. The elites are able to appropriate state powers and utilize them to amass resources and build networks of patronage, which are crucial for maintaining their dominance and subjugating the un-elite majority. Through the lens of power relations, the study highlights how these corrupt practices have led to the entrenchment of the elites’ control over political and economic systems. The study concludes that political corruption has significantly undermined the government's ability to provide essential public goods and services, which has, in turn, contributed to a decline in public trust in Nigeria's political institutions and democratic processes during this period. As the political landscape has become increasingly dominated by corruption, citizens have grown disillusioned with the system. The study recommends that Nigeria's political leadership reassess its current, money-driven and self-serving political approach, and adopt a more service-oriented model. Strengthening the rule of law, promoting public involvement in governance, and ensuring governmental accountability and legitimacy could help prevent Nigeria's slide toward political authoritarianism and reverse the democratic decline.

This research aims to analyze the role of pastoral counseling in dealing with students who experience toxic masculinity at the Jakarta Ecumenical Theological College. Toxic masculinity is a patriarchal social construction that forms patterns of male behavior that emphasize violence, control and domination. This has a negative impact on students' mental health and interpersonal relationships. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. Data collection was carried out through observation, interviews and documentation. Participants in this research were pastoral counselors, students, and related parties at the Jakarta Ecumenical Stt. The results of this research show that pastoral counseling has an important role in dealing with students who experience toxic masculinity. Pastoral counseling can help students understand the concept of healthy masculinity, develop self-awareness and learn to manage emotions and behavior constructively.

The increasing addiction to online games among children has become a concerning phenomenon, especially when linked to permissive parenting, which tends to provide excessive freedom without clear boundaries. This study aims to analyze the relationship between permissive parenting and online game addiction, with psychological well-being as a mediating variable. The method used is a qualitative approach with a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), where scientific articles from indexed databases such as Scopus, WoS, and Sinta in the last ten years were systematically reviewed. The results show that permissive parenting has a positive correlation with online game addiction, where children given excessive freedom tend to lack self-regulation and impulse control. However, psychological well-being acts as a mediating factor that can reduce the negative impact of permissive parenting on online game addiction. Children with good psychological well-being have lower levels of addiction compared to those experiencing emotional imbalance. The implications of this study highlight the importance of more balanced parenting styles and strategies to enhance children's psychological well-being in preventing online game addiction.
