        Nigeria remains one of the most endowed nations in the world, human and material resources. Nigeria is noted to possess large quantity of oil and gas, numerous solid minerals and vast arable land for all season agricultural purposes. Each of these resources has the potentials of transforming the nation’s economy into greatness having the right and enabling system in place. This desired greatness has eluded us due to the bizarre nature of investments in the oil and gas sector and poor investment in the other sectors coupled with the incidence of lending interest rate ranging between 25-35 percent, naira currency devaluation, consumption and wastefulness, policy inconsistence as well as the activities of local and foreign business people who violate/manipulate the situation to suit their interest importations of substandard goods and indiscriminate importation of produce that the nation has comparative/competitive advantage- which has served as a bane to local production. This paper is of the view that Nigeria can actually become one of the twenty leading economy in the world by the year 2030 when the leadership deficit/abuse of office by holders are curtailed at all levels, onus which is on the central authority. What appears to be the order of the day is that majority of the nation’s political leaders; policy makers/implementers do not have sufficient entrepreneurial initiatives/experience needed to galvanize the amount of investment prospects that can turnaround the economy.

        Today, it is of particular importance to deal with human rights, especially women's rights, and to establish fair and non-discriminatory implementation of regulations regarding women in society, and to eliminate their legal discrimination. In this study, women's rights refer to the rights that women should have because of their existence. It is very important to deal with women's rights in every society from the point of view of social importance, and in order to create balance and justice in society, it is necessary to examine these issues properly to help social and legal issues in two religions. In order to achieve this, the present study examines women's rights in Islam and Zoroastrianism, which is the closest religion to Islam. There is a lot of similarity between the views of Islam and Zoroastrianism in matters related to women and family, they only have different aspects in matters related to dowry. In general, it can be said that all the things that were not mentioned in the Zoroastrianism have been mentioned in the religion of Islam or have been limited to a brief statement, and the topics have been stated in detail. Therefore, since Islam is the last and most complete religion, it has foreseen the needs and status of women, their rights and duties, and established laws for it. Manuscript profile

        In this article, through the discourse analysis of Ebrahim Beg's itinerary written by Zeyn al-Abedin Maraghei, the idea of progress was examined in the literature of the constitutional era. It was shown how efficacy of the progress discourse of the law caused the society with regard to "existence of equality in law" moves towards the ideal society and passing this route requires removing specified defects in the nation and the government at the same time, thereby at the end of the route a developed homeland will be emerged by establishing a bilateral relationship based on empathy and trust between the government and the nation. The idea of progress was examined in the four aspects of rationalism, universalism, the role of the government and the contrast between what it is and what it should be, and it was found that Maraghei believes in giving priority to wisdom, a dialogue for compiling and implementing of law as the driving force of a society that has lagged behind civilized societies, especially Japan, and the main reason for this retrogression is the influential and self-seeking ministers and dignitaries. To him, progress is achieved through the weakening of profit seekers and self-interested court and non-court people as what it is and the strengthening and increasing the ones who care for the country and the ones who love their homeland from bottom of their heart and seek the honor of the country as it should be.
