Rainfall and the Length of the Growing Season in Nigeria
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLIMATOLOGY Int. J. Climatol. 24: 467–479 (2004) Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com). DOI: 10.1002/joc.1012 RAINFALL AND THE LENGTH OF THE GROWING SEASON IN NIGERIA T. O. ODEKUNLE* Department of Geography, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria Received 15 May 2003 Revised 8 December 2003 Accepted 16 December 2003 ABSTRACT This study examines the length of the growing season in Nigeria using the daily rainfall data of Ikeja, Ondo, Ilorin, Kaduna and Kano. The data were collected from the archives of the Nigerian Meteorological Services, Oshodi, Lagos. The length of the growing season was determined using the cumulative percentage mean rainfall and daily rainfall probability methods. Although rainfall in Ikeja, Ondo, Ilorin, Kaduna, and Kano appears to commence around the end of the second dekad of March, middle of the third dekad of March, mid April, end of the first dekad of May, and early June respectively, its distribution characteristics at the respective stations remain inadequate for crop germination, establishment, and development till the end of the second dekad of May, early third dekad of May, mid third dekad of May, end of May, and end of the first dekad of July respectively. Also, rainfall at the various stations appears to retreat starting from the early third dekad of October, early third dekad of October, end of the first dekad of October, end of September, and early second dekad of September respectively, but its distribution characteristics only remain adequate for crop development at the respective stations till around the end of the second dekad of October, end of the second dekad of October, middle of the first dekad of October, early October, and middle of the first dekad of September respectively. -

Evaluation of Fungi Species from Commercial Yoghurts in Birnin
Equity Journal of Science and Technology, 2019 6(1): 72 -77 ISSN; 2354 – 1814 EQUIJOST An Official Publication of Kebbi State University of Science and Technology, Aliero, Nigeria Evaluation of Fungi Species from Commercial Yoghurts in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi State Nigeria *1Keta, J.N., 2Suberu, H.A., 3Aliero, A.A., 4Mohammed, N.K., 1Anas, H., 1Mubarak, A. 1Department of Plant Sciences and Biotechnology, Kebbi State University of Science and Technology, Aliero, Nigeria 2Department of Biological Science, Federal University, Lokoja, Kogi State, Nigeria 3Department of Biological Science Federal University, Kalgo, Kebbi State, Nigeria 4Department of Microbiology, Kebbi State University of Science and Technology, Aliero *Corresponding author Email; [email protected]; Abstract Yoghurt is frequently taken as a drink or prepared together with Fura in the northern part of Nigeria due to the quality of nutrients present. Five different commercial Yoghurts, namely Hamdala, Rufaida, Gamji, Alhilal and Batulah were purchased from distributors in Birnin Kebbi metropolis. Using culture growth medium (Potato dextrose Agar) and poured plate method, the fungi species present were analyzed. A total of five (5) fungal species were isolated and identified from the samples. These include Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus fumigatus, Penicillium, Fusarium species and Mucor species. The results obtained from the samples analyzed showed that the Yoghurts samples had fungal load in the range of 1.2 x 105 (as the lowest fungal count in Gamji and Hamdala Yoghurts) and 8.0 x 106 (as the highest fungal count in Batula, Alhalal and Rufaida yoghurts). The highest levels of fungal species identified from this study could be attributed to poor processing method, environment, equipment used and preservation method adopted by these industries. -

Patterns of Migration and Population Mobility in Sudanic West Africa: Evidence from Ancient Kano, C
Afrika Zamani, No. 24, 2016, pp. 11-30 © Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa & Association of African Historians 2017 (ISSN 0850-3079) Patterns of Migration and Population Mobility in Sudanic West Africa: Evidence from Ancient Kano, c. 800–1800 AD Akachi Odoemene* Abstract In the last three decades historians of migration in Europe and the Americas have increasingly criticised the idea of a ‘mobility transition’, which assumed that pre- modern societies were geographically fairly immobile, and that people only started to move in unprecedented ways from the nineteenth century onwards. This paper takes this perspective as a point of departure, and further presents evidence of remarkable population mobility from ancient Kano, taking a longue durée viewpoint. It reconstructs the nature and transformative roles of constant and consistent migration and population mobility in Kano, which ensured enormous social interactions within and between culturally distinct communities and led to socio-cultural changes. This earned Kano a reputation as an important, formidable and large medieval urban metropolis in Western Sudan. Thus, ancient Kano, like elsewhere in Sudanic Africa, had a rich history of massive and systematic migration and population mobility since the ninth century AD. Résumé Au cours des trois dernières décennies, les historiens de la migration en Europe et dans les Amériques ont de plus en plus critiqué l’idée d’une « transition de la mobilité », qui supposait que les sociétés prémodernes étaient géographiquement assez immobiles et que les populations n’ont commencé à se déplacer de manière inédite qu’à partir du dix-neuvième siècle. Partant de ce point de vue, le présent article présente des éléments attestant de la remarquable mobilité démographique dans l’ancienne Kano, sous une perspective de longue durée. -
Boko Haram Threatens to Cut Borno State from Nigeria
AFRICA Boko Haram Threatens to Cut Borno State from Nigeria OE Watch Commentary: The excerpted article from a Nigerian source discusses how Boko Haram’s current strategy risks cutting off northeastern Nigeria’s Borno State from the rest of the country. For several weeks in January, the group attacked the crucial Kano-Maiduguri highway connecting northern Nigeria’s largest city, Kano, with Borno’s capital, Maiduguri. The article points out that this is similar to the group’s strategy during the height of its territorial conquests in 2013-2014 in Borno, when it sought to render that highway and other roads inaccessible by bombing major bridges and occupying roadside villages. In terms of tactics, the article observes that Boko Haram often dresses in military attire, which makes drivers mistakenly believe the militants are the army. This enables the group to set Civilian Joint Force members patrol in Maiduguri. up fake checkpoints and capture or kill passengers and disrupt Source: C. Oduah (VOA) via Wikimedia, https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Civilian_Joint_Force_members_patrol_in_Maiduguri.jpg, Public Domain traffic. In particular, the article states that Boko Haram has recently begun to target aid workers and Christians on the highways and released their execution videos through media channels affiliated with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). In a worst case scenario, the article argues that the Kano-Maiduguri highway would have to be closed down, which would severely affect trade in northern Nigeria. This is why, apparently, Borno governor Babagana Zulum has urged the military to take all measures to secure that highway. -

In doing this, the scarce fund is spent on the actual and genuine infrastructural needs of the populace rather than those at the helm of affairs “imposing” infrastructure on the populace. This study investigates how much people know those at the helm of affairs which invariably indicates how much they are being contacted or consulted to know their needs and how to meet the needs. 250 respondents were sampled from the six selected wards in Ibadan South East Local Government in Oyo state to make a representation. Findings revealed that the populace does not really know the people at the helm of affairs even the Local Government Councilors that are supposed to be the closest representative of the government to them and work with them. This implied that the developmental projects in such communities are imposed on the populace. -
An Assessment of the Impact of Corporate Social Responsibility on Nigerian Society: the Examples of Banking and Communication Industries
Universal Journal of Marketing and Business Research Vol. 1(1) pp. 017-043, May, 2012 Available online http://www.universalresearchjournals.org/ujmbr Copyright © 2012 Transnational Research Journals Full Length Research Paper An assessment of the impact of corporate social responsibility on Nigerian society: The examples of banking and communication industries Adeyanju, Olanrewaju David Department of Financial Studies Redeemer’s University, km 46, Lagos Ibadan Expressway Mowe, Ogun State E-mail: [email protected], Tel No.: 07037794073 Accepted 30 January, 2012 In the Nigerian society, Corporate Social Responsibilities [CSR] has been a highly cotemporary and contextual issue to all stakeholders including the government, the corporate organization itself, and the general public. The public contended that the payment of taxes and the fulfillment of other civic rights are enough grounds to have the liberty to take back from the society in terms of CSR undertaken by other stakeholders. Some ten year ago, what characterized the Nigerian society was fragrant pollution of the air, of the water and of the environment. Most corporate organizations are concerned about what they can take out of the society, and de-emphasized the need to give back to the society [their host communities]. This attitude often renders the entire community uninhabitable. A case in mind is the Niger Delta area of Nigeria. This translated to negative integrity and reputation on the part of corporate identity as people perceived this as exploitation and greed for profitability and wealth maximization within a decaying economy of Nigeria. However, the general belief is that both business and society gain when firms actively strive to be socially responsible; that is, the business organizations gain in enhanced reputation, while society gains from the social projects executed by the business organization.
