E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Pulmonary tuberculosis is still a global public health threat. Despite all efforts at its containment, the scourge is still menacing especially in the rural communities and among HIV infected patients. This retrospective study was carried out to determine the case detection rate of pulmonary tuberculosis in a rural community hospital in Nigeria from 2001-2006. A total of 1219 suspected patients were tested for pulmonary tuberculosis by sputum smear stained by Ziehl-Neelsen techniQue. Out of this number, 350 (28.7%) were positive for Acid-Fast Bacilli including 198 males and 152 females. Also 235 of the sputum-smear positive patients were tested for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies by Immunocomb 11 HIV 1 & 2 Bispot and confirmed by Immunocomb 11 HIV 1 & 2 Combfirm and HIV-1 Western Blot kit.

Vol. 2, Issue 13, pp: 67 - 98 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/ijma.v2i13.2 Available online at: www.ata.org.tn & https://www.ajol.info/index.php/ijma Research Article Historical dynamics of Ọjị Ezinihitte cultural festival in Igboland, Nigeria Akachi Odoemene Department of History and International Studies, Federal University Otuoke, Bayelsa State, Nigeria E-mail: [email protected] (Received 6 January 2020; Accepted 16 May 2020; Published 6 June 2020) Abstract - Ọjị (kola nut) is indispensable in traditional life of the Igbo of Nigeria. It plays an intrinsic role in almost all segments of the people‟s cultural life. In the Ọjị Ezinihitte festivity the „kola tradition‟ is meaningfully and elaborately celebrated. This article examines the importance of Ọjị within the context of Ezinihitte socio-cultural heritage, and equally accounts for continuity and change within it. An eclectic framework in data collection was utilized for this research. This involved the use of key-informant interviews, direct observation as well as extant textual sources (both published and un-published), including archival documents, for the purposes of the study. In terms of analysis, the study utilized the qualitative analytical approach. This was employed towards ensuring that the three basic purposes of this study – exploration, description and explanation – are well articulated and attained. The paper provided background for a proper understanding of the „sacred origin‟ of the Ọjị festive celebration. Through a vivid account of the festival‟s processes and rituals, it achieved a reconstruction of the festivity‟s origins and evolutionary trajectories and argues the festival as reflecting the people‟s spirit of fraternity and conviviality.

Email: [email protected] Accepted 3 May 2019 Ilisan Remo is a town in Remo land of Ogun State. There are different versions of the tradition of origin of the Remo people, most of those stories are linked to Ijebu-Ode and Ile-Ife. Since 1959, Ilisan Remo has witnessed a gradual migration Igbo and Ibibio people who migrated and eventually settled in Ilisan Remo. Among these settlers, the Igbo are more in number and have lived cordially with their Youruba host. The Igbo have contributed to the economic development of Ilisan. Conflicts are amicably resolved and no record of any major confrontation between the settlers and their host. Culture is not left out in their interaction as inter-marriages have occurred between the two groups. This paper examines issues on Igbo migration to Ilisan Remo, Ogun State since 1959, the causes of this migration and their contribution to the development of the community. In order to have a clearer understanding of the subject matter, the paper has been segmented into sub-headings, clearly stating the content analysis of the study. The objective of this paper is to carefully examine Igbo migration to Ilisan Remo and the reasons for this migration.
