  • Ikwerre Intergroup Relations and Its Impact on Their Culture
    83 AFRREV VOL. 11 (2), S/NO 46, APRIL, 2017 AN INTERNATIONAL MULTI-DISCIPLINARY JOURNAL, ETHIOPIA AFRREV VOL. 11 (2), SERIAL NO. 46, APRIL, 2017: 83-98 ISSN 1994-9057 (Print) ISSN 2070-0083 (Online) DOI : http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/afrrev.v11i2.7 Ikwerre Intergroup Relations and its Impact on Their Culture Chinda, C. Izeoma Department of Foundation Studies Port Harcourt Polytechnic, Rumuola Phone No: +234 703 667 4797 E-mail: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract This paper examined the intergroup relations between the Ikwerre of the Niger Delta, South-South geopolitical zone of Nigeria and its impact on their culture. It analyzed the Ikwerre relations with her Kalabari and Okrika coastal neighbours, as well as the Etche, Eleme, Ekpeye, Ogba Abua and the Igbo of Imo state hinterland neighbours. The paper concluded that the internal developments which were stimulated by their contacts impacted significantly on their culture. Key words: Ikwerre, Intergroup Relations, Developments, Culture, Neighbour. Introduction Geographical factors aided the movement of people from one ecological zone to another in migration or interdependent relationships of trade exchange. These exchanges and contacts occurred even in pre-colonial times. The historical roots of inter-group relations of the Ikwerre with her neighbours, dates back to pre-colonial times but became prevalent from the 1850 onward when the Atlantic trade became emphatic on agrarian products as raw materials to the industrial western world. This galvanized the hitherto existing inter-group contact between the Ikwerre and her neighbouring potentates.

  • An Assessment of the Socio-Economic Effects of Land Use Trends and Population Growth in Eleme, Rivers State, Nigeria
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research Volume 11, Issue 9, September-2020 1737 ISSN 2229-5518 An Assessment of the Socio-economic Effects of Land Use Trends and Population Growth in Eleme, Rivers State, Nigeria Obenade Moses, Ugochi E. Ekwugha, Ogungbemi A. Akinleye, Kanu C. Collins and Henry U. Okeke Abstract – Population growth in Eleme has been rapid over the past 82 years with its attendant pressure on the natural resources of the area. Between 1937 and 2006 the population of Eleme grew from 2,528 to 190,194 and is projected to be above 293,741 in 2019 based on an annual growth rate of 3.4 percent. Using the combined technologies of Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing (RS) and Demography techniques as its methodology, this paper examines the socio-economic effects of land use trends and population growth in Eleme between 1986 and 2019. The result of this study indicates that human population represents a threat to biodiversity in several ways. Thus if our patterns of consumption remain at the present rate, with more people, we will need to harvest more timber, catch more fish, plow more land for agriculture, dig up more fossil fuels and minerals, build more houses, and use more water. All of these demands impact wild species and increase the levels of pollution. Unless we find ways to dramatically increase crop yield per unit area, it will take much more land than is currently domesticated to feed people in the area if our population continue to grow at the prevailing rate of 3.4 percent annually.

  • Media Framing of Super Eagles' Performance and Effect on Fans
    Africa Media Review, Volume 19, Numbers 1&2, 2011, pp. 27–47 © Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa, 2013 (ISSN 0258-4913) Problematising, Blaming, Moralising, and Recommending: Media Framing of Super Eagles’ Performance and Effect on Fans Chuka Onwumechili* Abstract This study investigates frames that the Nigerian media use in analysing performance of the Nigerian national soccer team’s performance during eight football tournaments since 2000 – two World Cup finals and six African Nations Cup finals. The study investigates two questions – one designed to identify frames used by the media in analysing the team’s performance and the second investigating whether those frames align with schema used by fans. The method involves analysing 78 online media reports of the team’s performance at the eight tournaments and 32 discussion threads posted by the team’s fans on a board Eagles Nest hosted by the website Cybereagles.com. The study finds that the media use various frames and devices, including the following: various blame targets, distancing, dismissal of responsible persons, use of locally-based players, and hiring competent coaches to assess the performance of the national soccer team. Those frames were found to largely resonate with fans on Eagles Nest but the report also notes cases of non-alignment. Key Terms: Media framing, media effects, agenda-setting, problematising, blaming, moralising, Super Eagles, Cybereagles.com, Eagles Nest. Résumé Cette étude explore des différentes approches des medias nigérians dans l’analyse de la performance de l’équipe nationale de football depuis 2000.

  • A Study of Demale Circumcision in Eastern Nigeria: Its Medical Signieicance
    A STUDY OF DEMALE CIRCUMCISION IN EASTERN NIGERIA: ITS MEDICAL SIGNIEICANCE INTRODUCTION Nigeria is today the largest Colony and Protectorate under the Union Jack since India gained her independence. It will he re-called that Lagos, today the Federal Capital of Nigeria was created a British Colony in 1862. In January 1900, after cancellation of the Royal Niger Company1s Charter, the Protectorate of Northern Nigeria came into being. In the same year, the territory formerly known as the Niger Coast Protectorate was re­ named Southern Nigeria Protectorate. In 1906, the Colony of Lagos and its protected territory were amalgamated with the Protectorate of Southern Nigeria under one administration, with Lagos as the seat of the Government. In 1914, by Letters Patent and Order in Council, the Colony and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria and the Protectorate of Northern Nigeria were amalgamated and designated the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria, with Sir Frederick (later Lord) Lugard as the Governor-General. Various constitutional changes have taken place since Lord Lugard1s days. The latest Constitution, the 1.

BROWN November, 2014 CRANFIELD UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF APPLIED SCIENCES Toxicology, Health and Environment M.Phil Academic Year 2010-2014 CHIGOZIE EMMANUEL AMADI The Niger Delta: Aspects of Human Health Risk Associated with the Petroleum Industry Supervisor: Terry P. Brown November 2014 © Cranfield University 2014. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the copyright owner. ABSTRACT The Niger Delta has been described as one of the most petroleum-polluted places in the world. The oil and gas industry located in this region is the economic mainstay of Nigeria and has contributed to key aspects of life in our modern society. However, the indigenous nationalities and residents of the Niger Delta have been exposed to appalling environmental conditions due to the operations of the upstream petroleum industry within their communities. Whereas much is known about the environmental consequences of the operations of the oil and gas industries, including the fallout of crude oil spillage incidences, comparatively, very little is known about the risks to human health due to exposures to these environmental conditions. This could be a source of fear and frustration. The knowledge about the human health repercussions of the upstream petroleum industry operations in the Niger Delta is nonexistent. This study investigated some aspects of risk to human health in the Niger Delta due to the operations of the petroleum industry, especially carcinogenic risk.

  • Industrial Development and Growth in Nigeria: Lessons and Challenges
    Working Paper No. 8 Industrial development and growth in Nigeria: Lessons and challenges L. N. Chete, J. O. Adeoti, F. M. Adeyinka, and O. Ogundele* Abstract The structure of the Nigerian economy is typical of an underdeveloped country. The primary sector, in particular, the oil and gas sector, dominates the gross domestic product accounting for over 95 per cent of export earnings and about 85 per cent of government revenue between 2011 and 2012. The industrial sector accounts for 6 per cent of economic activity while the manufacturing sector contributed only 4 per cent to GDP in 2011. The economic transformation agenda, otherwise known as Nigeria Vision 20: 2020, sets the direction for the current industrial policy in Nigeria. The industrialization strategy aims at achieving greater global competitiveness in the production of processed and manufactured goods by linking industrial activity with primary sector activity, domestic and foreign trade, and service activity.
