  • The Odo Masquerade Institution and Tourism Development: a Case Study of Igbo- Etiti Local Government Area of Enugu State
    International Journal of Research in Arts and Social Sciences Vol 3 The Odo Masquerade Institution And Tourism Development: A Case Study Of Igbo- Etiti Local Government Area Of Enugu State E. I. Itanyi Abstract Generally speaking “Odo” popularly known and addressed as “Odomagala” or “Ekewo” in some towns like Ukehe, Aku, Diogbe, Umunko, Ohebe, Umuna, Ochima, Ikolo, Umuoka, Onyohor, and Udueme communities that make up the “Igbo-Odo” sector of Igbo- Etiti Local Government Area, simply means the ancestral spirit of their forefathers that usually visit them once every two years. The activities of the Odo masquerade such as the worshiping, returning from and going back to the land of the spirit and outing ceremonies associated with the Odo and the Odo leaders (Dikwu or Akpara Odo or Ekewo) is seen as a cult or an institution. Odo masquerade plays both cultural, tourism and religious roles. The Odo is worshipped and people confess their sins and beg for forgiveness and longevity from the masquerade. On Odo and tourism, the outing ceremony of the Odo is displayed in public places usually the town‟s public square „Otobo‟ where every body both indigenes and non indigenes would gather and even photographs of the masquerade taken either freely or on the payment of a token fee. By so doing, it enhances the economy of the people of the destination area through income- multiplier principle. African culture is embedded in oral tradition passed on from one generation to the other. The chief priests of the Odo masquerade play vital role in this aspect. It is our contention here that the institution should be harnessed and conserved for posterity as it is an important aspect of our cultural patrimony.

  • Enugu State, Nigeria Out-Of-School Children Survey Report
    ENUGU STATE, NIGERIA OUT-OF-SCHOOLCHILDREN SURVEY REPORT October, 2014 PREFACE The challenge of school-aged children who for one reason or another did not enrol in school at all or enrolled and later dropped out for whatever reason has been a perennial challenge to education the world over. Nigeria alone is said to house over 10 million out of school children. This is in spite of the universal basic education programme which has been running in the country since 1999. For Enugu State, it is not clear what the state contributes to that national pool of children who are reported to be out of school. Given the effort of the State Government in implementing the universal basic education programme, it is easy to assume that all children in Enugu State are enrolled and are attending school. This kind of assumption might not give us the benefit of knowing the true state of things as they relate to out-of-school children in our State. This is even more so given the State’s development and approval of the Inclusive Education Policy, which has increased the challenge of ensuring that every child of school age, no matter his or her circumstance of birth or residence, has access to quality education; hence, the need to be concerned even for only one child that is out of school. It is, therefore, in a bid to ascertain the prevalence of the incidence of children who are outside the school system, whether public or private, that the Ministry of Education and Enugu State Universal Basic Education Board collaborated with DFID-ESSPIN and other stakeholders to conduct the out of school children’s survey.

  • The Influence of Vegetation on Microclimate in Hot Humid Tropical Environment: a Case of Enugu Urban
    International Journal of Energy and Environmental Research Vol.2,No.4,pp.1-11, December 2014 Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) THE INFLUENCE OF VEGETATION ON MICROCLIMATE IN HOT HUMID TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT: A CASE OF ENUGU URBAN. By Arc. Nich .I. OBI, Assoc. Prof. I.G Chendo Department of Architecture, University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus (UNEC). ABSTRACT: Controlling direct solar radiation and increasing wind velocity to its Optimum capacity are part of planning strategies employed in the design of urban open spaces especially in hot humid tropical environment. Vegetation has the ability to reduce excessive air temperature through sunlight interception. Its geometric configuration influences the amount of solar radiation, air temperature, humidity and wind velocity on microclimate of a given area. Panning strategies aimed at reducing solar heat through application of vegetation were discussed. It also discussed the problem of thermal heat stress affecting the residents of Enugu Urban. The results were analyzed and solutions recommended. KEYWORDS: Open Space; Planning Strategies; Solar Radiation; Tropical Environment; Urban Microclimate. INTRODUCTION According to United Nations (2010), World Bank, (2009), more than half of the world’s population lives in the urban areas. Urbanization trend poses new millennium challenges in both industrialized and developing countries. One of these challenges is thermal heat stress resulting from climate change. The hot humid tropical environment of Enugu is characterized with high intensity of solar radiation and low wind velocity during the hot season. The rapid development activities taking place within the past decade will in no doubt lead to urban heat island effect and plant destruction among other environmental damages.

  • Gender and Rural Economic Relations: Ethnography of the Nrobo of South

Specifically, the study was designed to examine the subsistence strategies, gendered role patterns and gender gaps in economic relations of the Nrobo. Design/methodology/approach – This study used ethnographic methods of participant observation – adopting chitchatting and semi-structured interviews. Also, focus group discussion (FGD) was used to cross- check the validity of data from the other instrument. Findings – This study found among other things, that although there is still verbal expression of gendered roles division, it does not mirror what actually obtains in society, except bio-social roles. Ideological superiority of men reflects the patrilineal kinship arrangement of society. Theoretically, some of the hypotheses of gender inequality theory were disputed for lack of adequate explanation of gender and economic relations in an egalitarian-reflected society such as Nrobo. Originality/value – This study, to the best of my knowledge, is the first attempt to ethnographically examine gender and economic relations among this group. As such it adds to the corpus of ethnographies on the Igbo of Southeastern Nigeria. Keywords Gender, Gender inequality, Ethnographic method, Gender and economic relations, Rural economic relations, Southeastern Nigeria, Gendered role patterns Paper type Research paper Introduction Issues of gender inequality have been extensively explored in relation to contemporary Western and non-Western multicultural societies.

  • WOMEN and Elecnons in NIGERIA: SOME EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE from the DECEMBER 1991 Elecnons in ENUGU STATE
    64 UFAHAMU WOMEN AND ELEcnONS IN NIGERIA: SOME EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM THE DECEMBER 1991 ELEcnONS IN ENUGU STATE Okechukwu lbeanu Introduction Long before "modem" (Western) feminism became fashionable, the "woman question" had occupied the minds of social thinkers. In fact, this question dates as far back as the Judeo-Christian (Biblical) notion that the subordinate position of women in society is divinely ordained. • Since then, there have also been a number of biological and pseudo-scientific explanations that attribute the socio-economic and, therefore, political subordination of women to the menfolk, to women's physiological and spiritual inferiority to men. Writing in the 19th century, well over 1,800 years A. D., both Marx and Engels situate the differential social and political positions occupied by the two sexes in the relations of production. These relations find their highest expression of inequality in the capitalist society (Engels, 1978). The subordination of women is an integral part of more general unequal social (class) relations. For Marx, "the degree of emancipation of women is the natural measure of general emancipation" (Vogel, 1979: 42). Most writings on the "woman problematique" have generically been influenced by the above perspectives. However, more recent works commonly emphasized culture and socialization in explaining the social position of women. The general idea is that most cultures discriminate against women by socializing them into subordinate roles (Baldridge, 1975). The patriarchal character of power and opportunity structures in most cultures set the basis for the social, political and economic subordination of women. In consequence, many societies socialize their members into believing that public life is not for the female gender.
