  • Measurement of Scale Efficiency in Ginger Farms in Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State, Nigeria: Non-Parametric Model Approach
    MEASUREMENT OF SCALE EFFICIENCY IN GINGER FARMS IN KACHIA LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF KADUNA STATE, NIGERIA: NON-PARAMETRIC MODEL APPROACH Umar1, H.S., Yahaya2, K. and Kachiro1, S. L 1Department of Agricultural Economics and Extension, Faculty of Agriculture, Nasarawa State University Keffi, PMB 135, Shabu-Lafia Campus, Nigeria 2Department of agricultural Economics and Extension, Faculty of Agriculture, Kebbi State University of Science and Technology Aliero, PMB 1144, Nigeria Abstract The study was carried out to measure scale efficiency among ginger farmers in Kachia Local Government Area of Kaduna State. A two stage sampling techniques was used to select 99 ginger farmers from whom the data for the study were collected. Data were analyzed using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and descriptive statistics. Results show that the mean values of overall TE, Pure TE and scale efficiency were 0.718, 0.804 and 0.898 respectively. Only 14 % the farms were operating on the optimal scale. While about 86% of the farms were experiencing scale inefficiency (sub-optimal scale), consisting of 47% of the farms revealing increasing return to scale and 38% exhibiting decreasing returns to scale. Therefore, it is recommended that for realization of optimal production scale in the study area, farmers operating at inefficient production scale should be encouraged to either increase farm size to address scale inefficiency from IRS, or decrease farm size to remedy scale inefficiency due to DRS. Keywords: Ginger farms, scale efficiency and DEA Introduction Ginger (Zingiber officinale) is herbaceous perennial crop grown vegetative for its spicy underground rhizomes across many climates in the world. It requires a good soil tilled for production of well-shaped rhizomes (NAERLS, 2004).

  • Rise, Development Jingoists Is Not a Some Specie of Old Leadership That
    Bulletin of Ecumenical Theology 2(2, 1989) - 3(1, 1990). THE KADUNA MAFIA AND THE CHURCH IN NIGERIA By Bala J. Takaya Many a Nigerian still asks the question "Do they reaily exist?" We therefore begin by an attempt to clear that doubt. The book, The Kaduna Mafia: A study of the Rise, Development and Consolidation of a Nigerian Power Elite � is not a fictional work. The term "Mafia" applied to the Kaduna-centric jingoists is not a mere metaphor either: for like the Italian or American Mafiosi, the real kernel of the Kaduna-oriented social formation see themselves not only as descendants of some specie of old leadership that is threatened by political extinction but, to avoid that real possibility (of extinction), also as a targeted group that must fight back by systematically extending and foisting "Northern" hegemony over the rest of the nation. The iMtimate objective is to project their par­ ticularistic interests and sub-culture as those of the Nigerian nation. They believe this is possible only if they can create and control a modern day caliphate, based on the Usmania tradition for Nigeria. As such, as unknown to other Nigerians, they have embarked on a vicious subterranean game of power with the long-run goal of im­ perial rebirth and domination. The findings of the study upon which the book is based would in­ deed suggest that a stronger appellation, implying a more sinister and all-embracing underground manipulations than the term "Mafia" evinces is needed, given their ultimate goal of political domination on the basis of the "Caliphal philosophy".

Appendix - 3 - THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST ELECTORAL VIOLENCE IN NIGERIA Introduction: Electoral history in Nigeria has proved that votes do not count. Violence is used as a medium to make free and fair elections unrealistic and impossible in order for rigging to happen and ultimately to ensure that the people’s mandate does not give out to a qualified person. Electoral violence has left in its wake, culture of might is right and winner takes all. Voter apathy is also a serious aftermath of citizens’ total dissatisfaction with the violence that meet with them at polling stations during elections.

  • Southern Kaduna: Democracy and the Struggle for Identity and Independence by Non-Muslim Communities in Northern Nigeria 1999- 2011
    Presented at the 34th AFSAAP Conference Flinders University 2011 M. D. Suleiman, History Department, Bayero University, Kano Southern Kaduna: Democracy and the struggle for identity and Independence by Non-Muslim Communities in Northern Nigeria 1999- 2011 ABSTRACT Many non- Muslim communities were compelled to live under Muslim administration in both the pre-colonial, colonial and post colonial era in Nigeria While colonialism brought with it Christianity and western education, both of which were employed by the non-Muslims in their struggle for a new identity and independence, the exigencies of colonial administration and post- independence struggle made it difficult for non-Muslim communities to fully assert their independence. However, Nigeria’s new democratic dispensation ( i.e. Nigeria’s third republic 1999-to 2011 ) provided great opportunities and marked a turning point in the fortune of Southern Kaduna: first, in his 2003-2007 tenure, Governor Makarfi created chiefdoms ( in Southern Kaduna) which are fully controlled by the non-Muslim communities themselves as a means of guaranteeing political independence and strengthening of social-political identity of the non-Muslim communities, and secondly, the death of President ‘Yar’adua led to the emergence and subsequent election of Governor Patrick Ibrahim Yakowa in April 2011 as the first non-Muslim civilian Governor of Kaduna State. How has democracy brought a radical change in the power equation of Kaduna state in 2011? INTRODUCTION In 1914, heterogeneous and culturally diverse people and regions were amalgamated and brought together into one nation known as Nigeria by the British colonial power. In the next three years or so therefore, i.e., in 2014, the Nigerian nation will be one hundred years old.

  • Kafachan Peace Declaration, the Southern Kaduna State Inter
    PREAMBLE We, the parties to this Declaration are: development/cultural associations, Traditional Councils, youth, women, religious and respected opinion leaders and elders brought together by the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue (HD), with our consent, because of our history of Inter-communal, farmer and grazer and religious violence. Southern Kaduna has had a number of experiences of violent conflict that constitute a major threat to peace and security. Electoral disputes, farmer and grazer differences in particular, have caused violence, deaths, injuries, loss of property, trauma, widows and orphans, poverty and massive displacements. The stakeholders in this Declaration are convinced that a necessary condition for establishing lasting peace in our State is the resort to dialogue to resolve conflicts. This Declaration covers content from a multi- ethnic and farmer and grazer context of communities of five Local Government Areas (LGA’s) of Southern Kaduna; Sanga, Kachia, Kaura, Zangon Kataf and Jema’a. This Declaration records agreements arrived at as a first step towards achieving lasting peace. The Southern Kaduna State Inter-Communal Dialogue: Convinced that without peace, Kaduna State, cannot consolidate unity and promote democracy and development; Convinced that dialogue and the non-resort to violence can lead to a lasting solution for Kaduna State’s Inter-communal conflicts; Reaffirms that respect for human rights is indispensable for the maintenance of peace and security in Kaduna State and that it constitutes one of the fundamental blocks for sustainable development; Further reaffirms the principles enshrined in the 1999 Nigeria constitution as amended, in particular Chapter 4, section 33, subsection 1, which says “each person has a right to life, and no one shall be deprived intentionally of his life, save in execution of the sentence of the court in respect of a criminal offence of which he has been found guilty in Nigeria”.
