RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1 INTRODUCTION
The discussion in this section is based on the justification for the research choice and the
methodologies used in the study. The research design, instrumentation, data collecting, sample
methodologies, the study population, and data analysis tools and methods will all be evaluated.
3.2 RESEARCH DESIGN
The descriptive survey technique was used to gather data for this study, and questionnaires
were used as instruments. A survey method is an instrument or approach for gathering data in
research by asking a predetermined set of individuals questions. The design is chosen because
it allows the researcher to gather data in a uniform manner using a highly organized research
instrument. It offers a framework for the researcher to work within in order to solve the
research topic, and it might vary depending on the nature of the problem being investigated. It
may be applied to both quantitative and qualitative research.
3.3 SETTINGS
The research was carried out in Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State. The rationale
was that Akinyele Local Government Area comprises of both informed and uninformed
citizens. As a result of this, the study’s subjects who were picked from this location would
have to be both informed and uninformed citizens.

3.4 PARTICIPANTS
The participants in this study were 100 people from various tribes, backgrounds, orientations
and areas in Akinyele Local Government Area of Oyo State who are Nigerian citizens both
informed and uninformed. The participants are between the ages of 18 and 60 seeing as the
target for democracy and political participation in Nigeria.
3.5 INCLUSION CRITERIA
Those who had resided in Akinyele Local Government, who are Nigerian citizen and are
informed citizen of democracy and political participation in Nigeria were included in the
qualitative research. This research includes men and women between the ages of 18 and 60.
This study's data will come from both primary and secondary sources. This would allow the
researchers to get first-hand knowledge on democracy and political participation in Nigeria.
Questionnaires, and active materials are examples of these sources. Books, articles in journals,
newspapers, government publications, unpublished research works, and other secondary
sources was used in this study.
3.6 SAMPLING TECHNIQUE
In statistical analysis, sampling is the act of selecting a predefined number of observations
from a larger population. The name or other identification of the exact procedure by which the
entities of the sample were picked is known as a sampling technique. The type of study being
conducted determines the mechanism utilized to sample from a wider population, which in this
case will be the simple random sampling technique. A simple random technique involves
random selection of a subset of a particular population. In this sampling method, each member
of the population has an exactly equal chance of being selected. This method is the simplest of
all probability-sampling methods because it only involves a single random selection and
requires little prior knowledge about the population. This method was chosen for this research
work because it will enable efficient and effective gathering of data and will provide accurate
responses which will aid the data analysis.
3.7 RESEARCH INSTRUMENT
In this study, questionnaires was utilized as data gathering tool. A questionnaire is a research
tool that contains a list of questions requiring responses from a predefined group of people. It
is used to collect relevant information that can help you arrive at definite results during
research. Questionnaires are used to collect quantitative data from respondents. It combines
different question types like close-ended and open-ended questions that allow you to extract
large volumes of data from respondents. Close Ended Style; Dichotomous Questions
questionnaire format was used as a research instrument or technique for gathering data for this
research. This will aid in the generation of acceptable and necessary responses to the reliability
and validity tests, allowing for easy analysis and interpretation.
3.8 DATA COLLECTION PROCEDURE
The study collects data on democracy and political participation from 100 respondents in
Akinyele Local Government, Oyo State using questionnaires, with an emphasis democracy and
political participation in Nigeria: the role of informed citizenship. Data collection, like all other
components of a qualitative study, should be carefully managed and limited. Questionnaires
are primary method of data collection in this project (Patton, 2002; Stakes, 1995).
