  • Bayelsa Mission
    Image not found or type unknown Bayelsa Mission EZE ROBINSON Eze Robinson is executive secretary of Bayelsa Mission, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State, Nigeria. Bayelsa Mission is an administrative unit of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Nigeria and is part of Eastern Nigeria Union Conference, which in turn is part of West-Central Africa Division. Bayelsa Mission was formerly part of Rivers West-Bayelsa Conference and was organized in 2015. It covers the territory of Bayelsa State, Nigeria.1 Statistics as of June 30, 2018: churches 9; membership 1,586; population 2,370,538.2 Historical Developments The territory known today as Bayelsa Mission was a part of the Rivers Conference of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. With headquarters at Rumuokwuta, Port Harcourt, the Rivers Conference, organized as Rivers Mission in 1971,3 gained conference status in 1993.4 The first elected officers of the conference were Pastors Simeon Job Okochi (president), Reuben Ezenekwe Eti (secretary), and Epalibo Grant Esukpa (treasurer).5 The territory of this conference was the entire Rivers state in the southern geopolitical region of the present Federal Republic of Nigeria. However, given its multi-ethnic composition, its vast geography, and consequent difficulties in its political administration, the Nigeria military government in 1996, under Major General Sani Abacha, created a new state out of this polyethnic state.6 This new state is the present Bayelsa state. Following the creation of Bayelsa state in 1996, at the 2005 constituency session of the Rivers Conference, it was voted to rename the Rivers Conference as Rivers-Bayelsa Conference so as to properly recognize the field as a two- state territory.7 Furthermore, in 2011, because of the vastness of the territory of the conference and a significant increase in its membership, a new conference, Rivers West-Bayelsa, was created out of the Rivers-Bayelsa Conference.

But instead of being a city with culturally mixed neighborhoods, the various ethnic groups lives in residential areas that are segregated by ethnicity. This paper thus seeks to investigate how the migrant’s preference in the choice of initial residence determine the dimension of ethnic residential segregation in Yenagoa Metropolis and its neighborhood impacts. Using the chi- square statistical techniques, result shows that there is a statistical significant relationship between migrant’s residential preferences and ethnic neighborhood composition. On the other hand, the multiple regressions revealed that there are differences in the socio-economic characteristics that explain segregation within each ethnic group. Such that for instance, segregated Urhobo/Isoko and Hausa neighborhoods were found to have lower socio-economic characteristics, such as lower education and income, than segregated Ijaw places. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND TO STUDY Ethnicity and residential segregation rank very high among the oldest and most persistently studied topics in the Social sciences in Africa.

The variables investigated were: pH, EC, turbidity, TDS, TSS, Cl , SO 4, - 2+ 2+ HCO 3, TH, TA, Ca , K and Mg , while the heavy metals were: Mn, Pb, Zn, Cu, Fe, Cd, Ni and Cr respectively. The results showed that pH, EC, TDS, Cl-, SO4, TA, TH, Na and K were appreciably high and the heavy metals: Fe, Pb, Zn, Cu and Cd, Ni was found at low concentration, Cr and Mn was below detection limits (BDL). Water quality index (WQI) was computed in order to assess suitability to beneficial purposes and assess the potential ecological risk of the Brass River. The results obtained on WQI from the four sampling stations (Mouth, Upstream, Downstream and Middlestream) fluctuate from 84.13 to 86.36. Hence, the Brass River water quality is considered good based on the water quality index (WQI).

Its values in the development process have been a topic of extensive discussion. Information dissemination and accessibility have reduced the world to a global village. Africa, like the rest of the world, is experiencing change in all aspects of life: from basic cultural values to technology, which has changed not only the mode of communication, but the concept of time. In Africa, there are different methods of providing information for the people. These are the traditional African methods and the foreign or organizational methods. Objectives This paper highlights the importance of traditional African methods of providing information to rural dwellers for sustainable economic, political, communal, and social development. Background to the Study Bayelsa state came into being on 1st October 1996, when it was created from the old Rivers State.

Abstract: This study examined the state of rural development in a local government area whose most ravaging hazard is river flooding of the river Nun in Southern Ijaw area of Bayelsa State. As the second largest wetland in the world, the Niger Delta is a flat low-lying flood plain that is characterized by so many rivers and streams coupled with its closeness to the atlantic. The area is made up of about 57 villages as divided into 10 clans. A total of 9 villages were sampled while 402 households were chosen for questionnaire administration. Data analysis was aided by the simple linear regression (least square method) and percentage ratings on the respondents’ perception on annual flooding. Results show that river flooding and income of the people have no significant relationship with r2 value of 0.031. Also responses of the people titled to the fact that flooding has a more constructive than destructive effect in the area hence recommendation brings to light a need for further investigations to ascertain the profitability of approaches for effective development of settlements along the flood plains of the river Nun.
