MOHAMMED (Received 25 May 2016; Revision Accepted 27 June 2016) ABSTRACT The analysis of DC resistivity data of part of the River Jama’are Floodplain, Northeastern Nigeria was carried out with a view to mapping the basement and the subsurface structures. One hundred and six Schlumberger Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) stations located at the corners of a 225 x 225m square grid network were occupied. The inter- electrode spacing (AB/2) was varied from 1-225m. Results identified four subsurface geologic layers; topsoil, alluvial sand, Chad Formation/weathered column and basement bedrock as undulating and basal unit at different depths. Four major parallel basement depressions suspected to be regional faults striking approximately NW-SE were delineated. This trend correlated with the general trend of the regional structures in the Chad Basin. The isopach maps of the topsoil and alluvial sand mirrored a more recent NE-SW trend that correlated with the Tibesti-Cameroon trough. However, this recent induced tectonics was adjudged significant to hydrogeology in the area.

  • The Fulani Jihad & Its Implication for National Integration
    An International Multidisciplinary Journal, Ethiopia Vol. 5 (5), Serial No. 22, October, 2011 ISSN 1994-9057 (Print) ISSN 2070--0083 (Online) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/afrrev.v5i5.1 The Fulani Jihad and its Implication for National Integration and Development in Nigeria (Pp. 1-12) Aremu, Johnson Olaosebikan - Department of History and International Studies, University of Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State, Nigeria. E-mail Address: [email protected] ℡+2348032477652 Abstract The Fulani Jihad (1804-1810) led by Shehu, Uthman Dan Fodio was successfully prosecuted against the established Hausa dynasty in Northern Nigeria. It led to the emergence of a theocratic state, the Sokoto Caliphate, which was administered largely as a federation, due to its wide expanse and diverse composition of its people. The causes, management and impact of the Jihad as well as important lessons for national integration and development in contemporary Nigerian political life form the basic themes of this paper. Key words: Jihad, Integration, Theocracy, National Development, Caliphate Introduction The Fulani Jihad (1804-1810), had its heart and beginning in Gobir. It should be noted that the very essence of the Jihad against established Hausa dynasty was in itself a revolution in relationship between the Hausa and the Fulanis. It is informative to note that Islam was introduced into Hausa land about the 14 th century by foreign Mallams and merchants, such as Wagara Arabs and the Fulanis (Adeleye 1971:560; Afe 2003:23; Hill,2009:8). The latter group (Fulani’s) was said to have migrated over the centuries from Futa-Toro area Copyright © IAARR 2011: www.afrrevjo.com 1 Indexed African Journals Online: www.ajol.info Vol.

    Proof of Influence Evaluation of the Nigeria Evidence‐based Health System Initiative (NEHSI) Commissioned by the Evaluation Sub-Committee of the Project Advisory Committee and the Governance for Equity in Health Programme, The International Development Research Centre, Canada. Report written by the Evaluation Technical Advisory Committee (Muhammed M Lecky (IDRC-NEHSI Senior Advisor), Sarah BJ Macfarlane (Independent Consultant), Ricardo Wilson-Grau (Independent Consultant)) July 15th 2014 Executive Summary Between 2008 and 2014, the Government of Nigeria implemented the Nigeria Evidence‐based Health System Initiative (NEHSI), with support from Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada (DFATD). NEHSI undertook activities to increase the generation and use of evidence for decision-making in Bauchi and Cross River states with the goal of strengthening the health care system to deliver effective, efficient and equitable primary health care (PHC). In 2012, the Evaluation Sub-Committee of NEHSI’s Project Advisory Committee commissioned this evaluation to explore NEHSI’s ‘proof of influence’ by examining its outcomes to answer two questions: Evaluation question 1: To what extent and how has NEHSI influenced the evidence-based planning and decision-making (through changes in knowledge use, capacity, habit, and governance processes) in the primary health care system in particular and in the health system in general at the individual, community, and institutional level (federal, Bauchi State, Cross River State, and local government areas (LGA))? Evaluation question 2: Sustainabilty: To what extent do the NEHSI outcomes achieved to date a) reinforce each other, and b) embody the principles of evidence-based planning and decision-making in the Nigerian primary health care system? The evaluation team, which was advised by IDRC and the Evaluation Sub-Committee, comprised two independent consultants and one IDRC-NEHSI Senior Advisor.

Definition of a Language The preparation of a listing of Nigerian languages inevitably begs the question of the definition of a language. The terms 'language' and 'dialect' have rather different meanings in informal speech from the more rigorous definitions that must be attempted by linguists. Dialect, in particular, is a somewhat pejorative term suggesting it is merely a local variant of a 'central' language. In linguistic terms, however, dialect is merely a regional, social or occupational variant of another speech-form. There is no presupposition about its importance or otherwise. Because of these problems, the more neutral term 'lect' is coming into increasing use to describe any type of distinctive speech-form. However, the Index inevitably must have head entries and this involves selecting some terms from the thousands of names recorded and using them to cover a particular linguistic nucleus. In general, the choice of a particular lect name as a head-entry should ideally be made solely on linguistic grounds.

    International Journal of Agriculture and Earth Science ISSN 2489-0081 Vol. 1 No.8 2015 www.iiardpub.org A Survey of Cattle, Sheep and Goat Ticks Infestation in Katagum Local Government Area of Bauchi State, Nigeria. AMINU MAIDALA Vocational and Technology Education, Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University, P.M.B.248, Bauchi [email protected] Abstract A survey was conducted to identify tick species of cattle, sheep and goat in katagum local government area of Bauchi state .Collection and identification of the ticks were undertaken from 250 cattle,180 sheep and 120 goats. Result showed that about 4 genera of ticks comprising of 8 species affected cattle and the most prevalent species is the Amblyomma variegatum (38%). Three genera of ticks had affected sheep which comprise of 5 species and the most is Boophilus species (50%). Ticks that affected goat are made up three genera which comprise of 4 species and the most prevalent is Rhicephalus sanguinensis (70%). Attention should be given to prevention and control of ticks, since they cause serious production and economic losses. keywords: Ticks, Survey, Infestation, Ruminants Introduction The arthropods contain over 80% of all known animal species and occupy almost every known habitat, as well as a plethora of small and little-known groups. As a result of their activity, arthropod ectoparasites may have a variety of direct and indirect effects on their hosts (Wall and Shearer, 2001). Ectoparasites, particularly ticks, are important parasites because of their voracious blood-feeding activity and as vectors for various agents of diseases in both man and livestock (Cumming, 1998).
