Project Abstract

Facial expressions play a crucial role in human communication, providing valuable insights into emotions, intentions, and social dynamics. In the context of power tussles, facial expressions serve as potent nonverbal cues that can influence the outcome of interpersonal conflicts and negotiations. This research project aims to investigate the role of facial expression in power dynamics, focusing on how individuals use facial cues to assert dominance, convey submission, or navigate complex social hierarchies. Through a combination of behavioral observations, facial expression analysis, and psychological assessments, this study seeks to uncover the nuanced ways in which facial expressions shape power dynamics in various social contexts. By examining how different types of power (e.g., formal authority, expertise, charisma) are manifested and perceived through facial expressions, this research aims to provide a deeper understanding of the intricate interplay between facial cues and power dynamics. Moreover, this project aims to explore the impact of cultural norms and individual differences on the interpretation of facial expressions in power tussles. By comparing cross-cultural perspectives and considering factors such as gender, age, and personality traits, this research seeks to elucidate the complex relationship between facial expressions and power dynamics in diverse populations. In addition to shedding light on the role of facial expressions in power tussles, this study also has practical implications for various fields, including psychology, sociology, communication, and leadership. Understanding how facial cues influence perceptions of power can inform strategies for effective leadership, conflict resolution, and negotiation. Moreover, by enhancing our knowledge of nonverbal communication in power dynamics, this research can contribute to the development of training programs aimed at improving social skills and emotional intelligence in professional and personal settings. Overall, this research project represents a comprehensive investigation into the intricate interplay between facial expressions and power dynamics. By exploring the subtle ways in which facial cues influence social interactions, this study aims to deepen our understanding of human behavior and provide valuable insights into the complex dynamics of power tussles. Through a multidisciplinary approach that integrates behavioral observations, facial expression analysis, and psychological assessments, this research seeks to advance our knowledge of nonverbal communication and its role in shaping social hierarchies.

Project Overview

INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND HISTORY
In the world of production, there are many techniques for working e.g wood carving – This means chipping away parts of log or plank to arrive at the required form. Metal construction – this involves the joining of metals when sufficient temperature is applied using filler rods called electrodes. Casting- which explains the pouring of liquid metal, plastic etc.
Come down to adaptation of technique, casting is the making of an object by pouring liquid substance like metal, plastic etc into a mould and allowing it to cool and assume the chape of the mould. In the execution of sculptural pieces, cement is assumed to the medium. Cement which is to be used in casting in mixed with send in the ratio of 2:1. Water is than added to make it fluid and plastic so that the mixture will be able to enter into all the depressions on the clay positive. The execution of the coal mines has been one of the sculptural works in Enugu metoropolis that depicts the scope of this study. Before the arrival of the British colonial government, the geographical area was made up of many nationalistics, among which between 250 – 350 were later brought together to constitute the current Nigerian state. The area was naturally going through the process of enlarged communities and people moved across ethnic boundaries to maxmise threats. The House- Fulani were involved in balance of power tussle with the Yoruba, the Yoruba were involved in similar tussle with the Dahomeys (Republic of Benin). The Igbos too were engaged in a balance of power tussle agains Benin, Igala and some other rationalities. None of the actors was able to enjoy over balanced power, and there was no consciousness to bring a Nigerian nation states. As the contradictions of Nigerian unitary system mature, those in charge of the state become more and intolerant. Yet the use of force and brutal exptoitation does not being the country near peace.
Coming down to the scope of this study which is power tussle in Enugu state. Power tussle is a short struggle, fight or argument especially in order to be in control. Although power has been variously defined by Goldhomer and shils, weber, Rier stedt, simmel, parsons and other, all definition carry the that popular is ability to control other benefit of the power holder. In our society today individuals, groups tussle for power in order to gain one three components of power. Force, Authority and influence. For several years, Enugu state remained the most significant city in the south-eastern part of the Niger.Apart from the coal which it was know for, it was also the political headquarters of the south eastern region. Enugu has a lot of symbolism attached to it It was the city where great sons and daughters of the Igboland began their journey and pyramid climb in to the apex of federal governmental structure. In 1950’s Enugu server as a rullying ground to resist British slave labor. Those who worked at the coal mine, one the Nigerian major export production t the time paid dearly with their blood when the colonialist defined human decency by publicly executing the coal miners in a broad day light. What was the sin of these coal miners? Demand for better standard of living, a request that did not involved armed tussle.Not only has Enugu state continued to be melting point of south east politics, it has also continued to be melting points of south east politics, it has also continued to serve as the thermometer for measuring the political temperature of the Igbo people. That perhaps is responsible for the kinds of attention the unifording political events in the state have attracted. From the issueof power tussle between the states Governor, Dr Chimaraoke Nnamani and Senator Jim Nwobodo, to the controversy surrounding the Adoration ground tragedy, up to the state Assemblys unending crisis, and the closure of Savannah Bank issues concerning the state have been thrown to the front burner of national discourse. Presently, every incident or development in the state is explained from political perspective. One of such issues was the closure of savannah Bank issue concerning the state have been thrown to the front burner of national discourse.presently, every incident or develop ment in the state is explained from political perspective. One of such issue was the cloure of savannah Bank PLC by the central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). This generated ripples as insinuations were made that the action as part of a master as plan to force Nwobodo out of circulation. While those that hold this view readily point accusing fingers on the presidency and the state government. The raging tussle in the state House of Assemble has also made the state the first to have Legislators who operate from exite. Apart from the fact that the tussle in the House has faven a dangerous dimension as there are reports of use of arms on the floor of the Assembly thereby defilling the sanctity of a house of Law, lawmakers in the state now operate like commands.On the march 7 tragedy, Revernd father Ejike Mbaka had gathered worshipers of the Government Technical college, Enugu for his weekly adoration programme. At the end of the religions gatherring, fourteen worshipers were confirmed dead. The state hit the headlines of the press. A religions issue almost immediately assumed a political trend. News that the tragedy was caused by poisonous gas filtered, round the state and the nation. There were equally allegations of gun shots were heard at the adoration ground. All these allegations, implicitly and explicitly, had the state government at the centre of the issue. Nnamani’s government consequently found itself in the eye of the stann.

1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The project is to let people know what is actually happening in our society today, using Enugu state as the scope; when two people tussle for a particular post, this sometimes results to a bloody conflict, example, two people tussle for kingship, which sometimes go to the extent of trying to kill the other individual in order to be in control.
2 Secondly, two people tussled for a political post usually who will be the power holder, and that head to fighting and shooting of other party members, example, on 27th of June 2003 a man was shot dead and many people injured when a political crisis was carried out in Udi between PDP and ANPP. There were terrible gunshots
In the air and people ran for their lives all because of a particular post.
3. Thirdly, two individuals tussle for a piece of land, which
Involves the use of dangerous weapon to destroy the other person in order to be in control of the land.
Finally, this project is now pointing out to the public showing the problem we have in our society which if we can understand one another we do things kin order and know that we are just passing bye in this world. So there is no need to destroy in order to be in control.

1.3 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The aims, and objectives of this project is to enable people to know that power is not a game of do or die affair rather a
Device that co-ordinates without tussle or violence, we can reach to the pinnacle of the temple together without pushing anybody down.
Tussle for power is not easy to achieve, yes, this is true, but if we can do things uprightly without any tussle and violence, we can still achieve any goal we want in life.

1.4 THE SCOPE OF THE PROJECT
Many examples of were power Tussle have be experience both in individuals and groups. But for research convenience, this study is limited to the Enugu state. This study concerns itself solely with modern power tussle and crisis.

1.5 LIMITATION OF THE PROJECT
Though this research is embarked upon with all zeal, it is
Nonetheless noteworthy to mention certain factors that tend to hamper the procurement of data for this research. Foremost is the insufficient of books on this particular project, the writer did not find it easy to get enough information as it concerns what is happening today. Another is the time factor, the write of this project would have carried out more research in greater detail if there had been more time. The total cost of the work was ascertained because of unsteady prices and problem associated with locating the working materials.

1.6 DELIMITATION OF THE PROJECT
For the purpose of this project, materials available for the
Production includes cement, clay and fiber or polyguard.
However, using fiber glass can retain its originality and maintain it strength.
