Facebook: Centre for Social Justice, Nigeria 2017 SOUTH EAST FEDERAL CAPITAL BUDGET PULLOUT Page 3 Table of Contents Foreword 5 Abia State 6 Anambra State 26 Embonyi State 46 Enugu State 60 Imo State 82 2017 SOUTH EAST FEDERAL CAPITAL BUDGET PULLOUT Page 4 Foreword In the spirit of the mandate of the Citizens Wealth Platform to ensure that public resources are made to work and be of benefit to all, we present the South East Capital Budget Pullout for the financial year 2017. This has been our tradition in the last six years to provide capital budget information to all Nigerians. The pullout provides information on federal Ministries, Departments and Agencies, names of projects, amount allocated and their location. The Economic Recovery and Growth Plan (ERGP) is the Federal Government’s blueprint for the resuscitation of the economy and its revival from recession. The effective implementation of the ERGP involves financial and budgetary outlays. As such, the budget is a very important instrument for the improvement of the welfare of Nigerians. The Declaration on the Right to Development states that the human person is the central subject of development and should be an active participant and beneficiary of the right to development. As such, Nigerians have individual and collective responsibilities to follow the money and track developments in the implementation of capital votes meant for their benefit. It is a duty we cannot afford to evade. We have heard of billions of naira and dollars mismanaged and stolen by political and civil service operatives over the years. We have also heard of substandard construction and project implementation where Nigerians do not derive the gains stated in the books. This brings to the fore the need for vigilance, monitoring, tracking and exercising civil society oversight over the implementation of capital projects in the budget. It is our expectation that non-governmental organisations, community based organisations, the Church and the Mosque, professionals, youth, women’s groups, political parties and activists, etc. should take interest, monitor and report on how capital votes are spent. A docile population begets very unaccountable leaders. If we do not ask questions about our money and project implementation, we will continue with the present trajectory of underdevelopment. Therefore, we cannot afford to continue to sit on the fence and only complain after the fact or grumble in our rooms. This Pull Out presents an opportunity for action; to follow the money, ask questions about project implementation; contact your representatives in the Senate and House of Representatives; ask questions from Ministry officials and contractors about projects located in your vicinity that seek to improve your welfare, etc. The time to act is now.

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.

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.

  • 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.

Federal University of Technology Owerri, Imo State [email protected] ABSTRACT: Medicinal plants are those plants that are used (parts, extract etc) in treating and preventing specific ailments and diseases that affect human beings. Hence the important role of medicinal plants in health care delivery (services) cannot be over emphasized. This research is on the identification and traditional uses of some medicinal plants in Ezinihitte Mbaise Local Government Area, furthermore the traditional use of medicinal plants for preventive and curative purposes among people of Ezinihitte Mbaise Local Government Area are handed down to the people from generation to generation and have become paramount in almost every household. To this extent several species of medicinal plants such as Gongronema latifolia, Asmina triloba, Aspilia africana, Azadirachta indica, citrus aurantifolia, etc were identified to be naturally distributed in all the autonomous communities in Ezinihitte Mbaise Local Area. Most plant parts (extract) identified eg.( bark root, seeds, fruit, leaf) serve as major source of active ingredient and products of secondary metabolites e.g alkaloid, terpenoids etc used in curing diseases, production of drugs as well as in maintaining good health by both the traditional and orthodox medical practitioners.

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.

The paper examined the availability of some social infrastructural facilities in rural parts of Imo State. It equally examined the extent to which those facilities have promoted rural development in the State. Data were collected mainly from primary sources. A total number of 2,340 copies of questionnaire were administered in eighteen communities and all were retrieved for the analysis. Research findings revealed unevenness in the availability of potable water supply and telephone (analogue landline) facilities. However, the availability of electricity, educational and health facilities were largely indicated by respondents in the 18 study communities to be well spread across the State. The paper noted some rural development implications as the result of the Z-test of proportion statistics led to the rejection of the null hypothesis and the acceptance of the alternative, which is that, majority of rural areas in Imo State, have significant presence of social infrastructural facilities that enhance economic activities. Keywords: infrastructure, rural development, communities, services, Nigeria Introduction The issue of infrastructure and the development of rural areas have continued to be topical in Nigeria.

  • OF CULTURAL FESTIVALS and RELATIONS in WEST AFRICA: PERSPECTIVES on MBANO of SOUTHEAST NIGERIA SINCE the 20TH CENTURY Chinedu N
    Mgbakoigba, Journal of African Studies, Vol. 8 No. 2. May, 2021 OF CULTURAL FESTIVALS AND RELATIONS IN WEST AFRICA: PERSPECTIVES ON MBANO OF SOUTHEAST NIGERIA SINCE THE 20TH CENTURY Chinedu N. Mbalisi OF CULTURAL FESTIVALS AND RELATIONS IN WEST AFRICA: PERSPECTIVES ON MBANO OF SOUTHEAST NIGERIA SINCE THE 20TH CENTURY Chinedu N. Mbalisi Department of History and International Studies, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka [email protected] Abstract Africa is prominently known for its rich cultural heritage, festivals and traditional celebrations. The Igbo of southeast Nigeria are known globally for their addiction to their traditional way of life, belief systems and celebration of numerous cultural festivals. These traditional and cultural festivals form the basic foundation of the rich heritage of the Igbo. Most of these celebrations begin from birth. Usually, the birth of a new born baby is greeted with joy and fanfare by his/her parents and their relatives. The celebrations continue till the period of transition (death); from puberty to adulthood, marriage, title taking, old age till one rejoins his/her ancestors, then comes the final celebration. Mbano people of southeast Nigeria have numerous traditional and cultural festivals which form the nucleus of their relations with their neighbours. In fact, the cultural festivals depict the rich cultural heritage of the people and are used to show in most parts, the kinship between the people and their proximate neighbours. This paper essays to demonstrate the import of these traditional and cultural festivals to the nature of relationship prevalent between Mbano people and their neighbours in southeast Nigeria. The work adopts the orthodox historical method of narrative and analysis.
