Similarly, it has become known, at least, to some reasonable majority of academicians in Nigeria that the prospects for any successful economic development in the country are crucially related to the popu- lation trends, Also, it is becoming clear to some reasonable social thinkers that high population growth results in high proportion of dependency ratio which imposes serious strains upon investments on production by diverting available resources to the maintenance of social services, The general unemploy- ment of able-bodied young adul ts, including university gra- guates and the shortages of some basic food stuffs culmina- ting to the imp~rf;gf&~n,,,.~af.essential commodities such as rice, milk, vegetable oil and other food stuffs from foreign countries constitute enough indicator for the falsehood of the present economic systern,. The implication, theref ore is I' rn .< that the estimated population of eighty million people in Nigeria (1985) is exerting a serious pressure on the avail- able resources, Although there exists no definite national policy designed to limit the number of births, so far, in Nigeria, yet there are some discernable conscious efforts geared towards the education of the citizenry of the need for limiting their number of births, These educational programmes are being spear-headed by the mass media such as the dailies, radio and television programmes. In the same vein, the popu- lation consciousness has gradually attracted the concern md attention of research institutes and the Universities with the objective as knowing the true dimension of the problem to enable finding the appropriate s'olution. This work, therefore, constitutes one of such conscious efforts by a University graduate student geared towards knowing the true dimension of the poxlation growth in Edda clan of Imo State, Nigeria, The subjects are classified into non-migrant and migrant communities for easy comparability, The major obje~tiy~e,~. j.~,,,,to. know the level of fertility differential between the two groups if any exists, with a view to knowing the area requiring more education on family planning and birth control #methods, It --.I As a research work, a definite procedure is essential. Thus, the first chapter introduces the reader to the posing problem, the objective and the significance of the study; the second ct apter states the relevant facts from literature iii ' leview; and the third chapter presents the research methodology. This is followed by the facts concerning the patterns of internal migration in the area, in the fourth chapter; the fifth chapter examines the facts about the pattern of fertility behaviow of the subjects, While the sixth chapter compares and contrasts the fertility performance between the non-migrant and migrant women, the seventh or the last chapter summarizes, concludes and recommends some proposed solutions to the problem from the finding, This work does not claim to exhaust all knowledges con- cerning the internal migration and fertilfty behaviour of the people of Edda clan. Rather, every honest method has been employed by the researcher to retrieve available information at the time of the research, based upon his learning in Demography and other Sociological fields. It is the ardent wish of the researcher that more future researches should be ..,,-..,,t~,+~O+ . conducted in Edda clan by other colleagues to validate or destroy some of the present findings, iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENT This work may not have been possiile without my admission for the Degree of Master's (M,SC,) in the Department of Sociology where I was exposed to the relevant course-work programme upon which the solid foundation of this work was built, Consequently, my first sincere thanks and gratitude go to all the dedicated Lecturers of the Department of Sociology/Ahthropology, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, for the positive encouragement and co-operation given to me during the period of laying the golden egg which hatched the present work, In addition, my special thanks and gratitude go to Dr, Azuka Dike, the Acting Head of the Department, for the new life he has injected into the Postgraduate Programme in the Department, to raise the standard and at the same time making it possible for determined students to graduate within the stipulated period of twelve calendar months, I wish him more grease at his elbows.

  • 95 Traditional Methods of Social Control in Afikpo
    TRADITIONAL METHODS OF SOCIAL CONTROL IN AFIKPO NORTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, EBONYI STATE SOUTH EASTERN NIGERIA Blessing Nonye Onyima Abstract This paper examined the traditional social control mechanisms in Afikpo North LGA of Ebonyi state, south eastern Nigeria. The rising trend in extraneous crimes and vices like kidnapping, baby factories, drug peddling among others seem to be overwhelming for modern social control mechanisms. This has lent credence to myriads of scholarly suggestions targeted towards making the south eastern Nigerian region a sane society. These suggestions are community policing, use of community vigilante and calls to integrating traditional and modern social control mechanisms. This study employed I86 structured questionnaires and the in-depth interview guide as instruments for data collection anchored on the social bond theory. The researcher made use of descriptive statistics to analyze the questionnaires, the frequency tables and simple percentage was used in presenting and interpreting the quantitative data. The data was also processed using the SPSS, for detailed analysis of the questionnaire. The qualitative data from the in-depth interview was analyzed using the manual thematic content analysis. The study found two groups of effective traditional social control methods (human and non-human traditional social control methods) used to ensure social cohesiveness, order and peaceful inter-human relations in Afikpo North LGA of Ebonyi state. Study respondents expressed preference for human- oriented/managed

  • Complexity As Aesthetics in the Iri-Agha of the Ohafia Igbo People
    International Journal of February, 2020 Development Strategies in Humanities, Management and Social Sciences IJDSHMSS p-ISSN: 2360-9036 | e-ISSN: 2360-9044 Vol. 10, No. 1 Complexity as Aesthetics in the Iri-Agha of the Ohafia Igbo People Omeh Obasi Ngwoke A b s t r a c t Department of English Studies, Faculty of Humanities, ery little is known of the diverse forms of African University of Port Harcourt, folklore, especially those with literary and artistic Port Harcourt, Nigeria Vmerit in spite of their pervasive presence within the continent and their unabated practice among the peoples that own them. As part of the efforts in filling this critical gap, this paper examines one of such forms among the Ohafia Igbo people of eastern Nigeria named the Iri-Agha - that is “war dance” in English. The essay's contention is that though a few studies have been carried out on the highly artistic and massively enjoyed dramatic enactment of the indigenous people, no scholarship exists in the area of its complexity of form. Here then lies the focus and significance of this essay which seeks to examine the intricacies of the traditional performance's formal features. The study deploys the method of qualitative ethnography involving close observation and interview of the practitioners of the art in the field collection of primary Keywords: data, and the theory of ethno-poetics in the analysis the Complexity, collected data. Consequently, the study discovers that the Aesthetics, Iri-Agha, Iri-Agha depicts an artistic complexity that emanates from a War, Dance, Drama, seamless combination of materials from the dramatic, the Performance narrative and the poetic arts and a blending of these with resources from the plastic and decorative arts.

  • Soil Vulnerability Assessment of Afikpo South Local Government 2 Area, Ebonyi State, Nigeria
    1 SOIL VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT OF AFIKPO SOUTH LOCAL GOVERNMENT 2 AREA, EBONYI STATE, NIGERIA 3 ABSTRACT 4 Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) integrated with Revised Universal 5 Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE) was adopted to estimate the rate of annual soil loss in Afikpo South 6 Local Government. This is important due to the fact that agriculture is the main source of 7 livelihood in the area. The RUSLE factors were computed using data such as rainfall from 8 NIMET, Soil from FAO, elevation from SRTM and Landsat 8 OLI from USGS. The data were 9 used as input in a GIS environment and the annual soil loss was generated using the RUSLE 10 equation. The result shows that the average annual soil loss ranges from 0 to 155,858 ha/ton/yr. 11 It was also observed that soil erosion was predominant in the southern part of Afikpo South LGA 12 due to the presence of steep slopes in the area. The study serves as a preliminary documentation 13 for planning, conservation and management of soil resources in the Local Government. 14 Keywords: Soil Vulnerability, Estimation, RUSLE, Afikpo South, Nigeria 15 16 INTRODUCTION 17 Soil erosion is just the efficient expulsion of soil, including plant nutrients, from the land surface 18 by the different operators of denudation. It happens in several parts of Nigeria under various 19 land, climatic and soil conditions. Be that as it may, the level of event shifts extensively from one 20 part of the nation to the other (Ofomata, 2015). Similarly varied are the components in charge of 21 the commencement and advancement of erosion, just as the sorts that exist in several parts of the 22 country.

Department of Philosophy and Religion, Ebonyi State University, Abakaliki-Nigeria ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article History: Gender issues have become a critical concern of all humanity today. The case is that women are marginalized, th more especially in Africa. Thus part of African underdevelopment is attributed to this discrimination. The major Received 10 July, 2013 factor that makes the study of gender problems in Africa complex is that African traditional society, particularly, Received in revised form th the Igbo society of Eastern Nigeria, anchor their development, social organizations and political structure on the 13 August, 2013 their religion(s). So their religious belief defines and controls all social arrangements. However, the picture of Accepted 21st September 2013 th women marginalization in Igbo society seems to be representing the Igbo society of the modern era rather than the Published online 10 October 2013 Igbo of the pre-colonial period. This paper therefore contends that the assumption that women in the Igbo traditional society were sidelined into the private sphere is tinged with historical bias. Thus through sociological Key words: and historical survey, this paper discovers that women have been in the frontline of social development in the Igbo traditional society. It notes also that most positions of power are not inherited rather they are acquired through Gender, Mainstreaming, achievements.

  • Information Kit for 2015 General Elections
    INFORMATION KIT FOR 2015 GENERAL ELECTIONS 1 FOREWARD The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has come a long way since 2011 in making the Nigerian electoral process transparent, as a way of ensuring that elections are free, fair and credible and that they measure up to global best standards of democratic elections. We have done this not only by reforms that have been in the electoral procedures, but also in the way informationon the process is made available for public use and awareness. Even though the yearnings of many Nigerians for a perfect electoral process may not have been fulfilled yet, our reforms since 2011 has ensured incremental improvement in the quality and credibility of elections that have been conducted. Beginning with some of the Governorship elections conducted by INEC since 2013, the Commission began to articulate Information Kits for the enlightenment of the public, especially election observers and journalists who may need some background information in order to follow and adequately undertstand the electoral process. With the 2015 General Elections scheduled to take place nationwide, this document is unique, in that it brings together electoral information about all the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). I am optimistic that this kit will contribute to the body of knowledge about the Nigerian electoral system and enhance the transparency of the 2015 elections.
