Ibeje There are many land uses applied at Ikeduru L.G.A. in Imo State, Department of Civil Nigeria, thus, the area is selected as a case study. The objective of Engineering, Imo State University, P.M.B. 2000, study is to determine the effects of land use on infiltration by three Owerri, Nigeria. different land use types; 34 of them are in farmlands, 34 in Bamboo field and 32 in forestlands. Within each land use type, multiple regression are used to determine degree of association between the rates of infiltration, moisture content, porosity, bulk density and particle sizes. Non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance is used to determine whether significant differences in infiltration rates existed between different land uses. The mean steady state infiltration rate of farmlands, bamboo fields and forestland are 1.98 cm/h, 2.44cm/h and 2.43cm/h respectively. The regression model shows that infiltration rate decreases with increase in moisture content and bulk density but increases with the increase of soil particle sizes and porosity. -

Refat Jahan Rakib2 1Group Research in Analytical Chemistry, Environment and Climate change (GRACE&CC), Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, Imo State University, Owerri, Nigeria 2Department of Fisheries and Marine Science, Faculty of Science, Noakhali Science and Technology University, Noakhali, Bangladesh *E-mail address: [email protected] ABSTRACT Due to the differences in reporting units and methodology on microplastics (MP) studies, there has been some difficulty in comparing results across studies. In this study, we presented index models that can be address this issue. Index models for pollution and health risks assessment was applied to MP data obtained from rivers in Nwangele L.G.A. Models such as microplastics contamination factor (MPCF), microplastics pollution load index (MPPLI), Microplastics polymer risk indices (Hi) and pollution risk index (MPR) for pollution and contamination assessment. Health risk models such estimated daily intake (EDI) and microplastic carcinogenic risks (MPCR) through oral and dermal pathway were also presented and applied. Results showed that there is no direct correlation of MP abundance with MPR. However, Hi correlated but with MPR. Increased MPs pollution risks and levels were extensively subject to the presence of harmful MPs polymers, just as the high MPs pollution loads index (MPPLI). The index models enabled easy comparison of MP pollution of the different rivers and provided concise information on the status of MPs in the rivers.

Research Article DETERMINATION OF THE ERODIBILITY STATUS OF SOME SOILS IN IKEDURU LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF IMO STATE, NIGERIA Chukwuocha N., *Amangabara G.T., and Amaechi C. 1Department of Environmental Technology, Federal University of Technology, PMB 1526 Owerri *Author for Correspondence ABSTRACT Determination of soil erodibility status in four selected communities of Ikeduru LGA was conducted. Soil samples were collected randomly from Cassava farm, Bamboo field, Fallow land and sparse grassland and were analysed for moisture content, particle size distribution, textural class, organic matter content, permeability and aggregate structure using oven drying method, sieve analysis, triangular chart, and permeability/soil type table. Laboratory results were subjected to statistical analyses. Narrow variation was seen in all the particle size distribution (ranged from 25.10 – 35.15) with samples from sparse grass land vegetation having the least value (35.20), samples from cassava farm and bamboo field had their values as 35.15 and 29.40 respectively. The clay, silt and MC had a negative non-significant relationship with the erodibility status with values of correlation -.412, -.532 and -.836 respectively. While sand percentage content had a positive non significant relationship with erodibility factor K having the values of .670. OMC percentage content had a high positive significant relationship with erodibility factor K, with the value of correlation as 1.000**. There was a high level of significance between clay, silt, sand, OMC, and MC with values of correlation as -.753**, -.714**, -.831**, and .955** respectively. -
Of Anthony Obinna to Mormonism: Elective Affinities, Socio-Economic Factors, and Religious Change in Postcolonial Southeastern Nigeria
religions Article The “Conversion” of Anthony Obinna to Mormonism: Elective Affinities, Socio-Economic Factors, and Religious Change in Postcolonial Southeastern Nigeria David Dmitri Hurlbut Department of History, Boston University, Boston, MA 02215, USA; [email protected] Received: 26 May 2020; Accepted: 10 July 2020; Published: 15 July 2020 Abstract: This article analyzes the “conversion” of Anthony Uzodimma Obinna, an Igbo schoolteacher from the town of Aboh Mbaise in Imo State, and his extended family to Mormonism in southeastern Nigeria between the 1960s and the 1980s, from a historical perspective. I argue that the transition of Anthony Obinna and his family away from Catholicism to Mormonism can be explained by both the elective affinities that existed between Mormonism and indigenous Igbo culture, and socio-economic factors as well. This article bases its conclusions on a close reading of oral histories, personal papers, and correspondence housed at the LDS Church History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah and L. Tom Perry Special Collections at Harold B. Lee Library, Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Keywords: Mormonism; The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; Anthony Obinna; religious conversion; southeastern Nigeria 1. Introduction: The Official Story of Anthony Obinna This article analyzes the “conversion” of Anthony Uzodimma Obinna, an Igbo schoolteacher from the town of Aboh Mbaise in Imo State in the southeastern part of Nigeria, and his extended family to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) between the 1960s and the 1980s.1 Offering a social explanation of religious change that complicates the official narratives of Anthony Obinna’s “conversion,” I argue that the movement of Anthony Obinna and his family away from Catholicism to Mormonism can be explained by both the elective affinities that existed between Mormonism and indigenous Igbo culture, and socio-economic factors as well. -
Statistical Prediction of Gully Erosion Development on the Coastal Plain Sands of the South Eastern Nigeria
Nigerian Journal of Technology, Vol. 24, No. 2, September 2005 Nwakwasi and Tee 59 STATISTICAL PREDICTION OF GULLY EROSION DEVELOPMENT ON THE COASTAL PLAIN SANDS OF THE SOUTH EASTERN NIGERIA NWAKWASI, N.L., and TEE, D.P. Department of Civil Engineering, Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Nigeria ABSTRACT A statistical model for predicting gully initiation was developed using variables from 20 randomly selected sites. The random samples gave 10 gully sites and 10 non-gully sites. In all, 12 variables were identified but using students t-tests approach, only four variables contributed to gully development. These four variables include Maximum slope, Maximum slope length, Microrelief amplitude and percentage coarse sand. The four variables were combined through factor analysis and statistical manipulations to form Linear Discriminant Function (LDF). Three functions were obtained by combining the variables in three different ways. An application of the three functions to the field situation identified function 1,1 as a very comfortable prediction. When Yl was used to classify the various sites using the variables obtained from the field, a 25% wrong classification was obtained. This value was quite low when compared with the other two functions whose wrong classification ranged from 35% and above. It was observed from the study that when Yl is less than 30, it indicated little or no gully erosion threat. INTRODUCTION spatial distribution of rainfall as induced gully Today, in our country Nigeria, erosion menace formation in most of our towns and express the has become all object of discussion and a major need to adopt good planning and policy ecological problem facing the nation. -

Department of Agricultural Extension, Federal University of Technology, PMB 1526 Owerri Nigeria. 2. Department Of Soil Science And Technology, Federal University Of Technology, PMB 1526 Owerri Nigeria. [email protected] ABSTRACT: We investigated the willingness to adopt planted fallows as replacement to the natural fallows among farmers in Owerri Agricultural Zone of Central Southeastern Nigeria, in 2006. Structured interview schedule was used to generate socioeconomic data from respondent farmers. Data were analyzed using percentages and multiple regressions for socioeconomic analysis. Soil samples were also collected from soils under natural fallows but of 5 different fallow lengths. These surface soil samples were analyzed using laboratory techniques for status of soil fertility indices. Resulting data were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and means were separated using the least significant difference (LSD) at 5% level of probability. While analysis of socio-economic data showed that adoptability of fallows had good relationship with education, age and farm size; soil data indicated inability of natural fallow to cope with soil productivity demands at all fallow lengths studied when judged with existing standards. Establishment of planted fallows in demonstration farms of Agricultural Development Programmes (ADPs) of the agroecology, and studies on them may enhance certainty in the prediction of adoptability of these novel techniques of soil fertility regeneration.
