  • Diatoms and Dinoflagellates of an Estuarine Creek in Lagos
    JournalSci. Res. Dev., 2005/2006, Vol. 10,73‐82 Diatoms and Dinoflagellates of an Estuarine Creek in Lagos. I.C. Onyema*, D.I. Nwankwo and T. Oduleye Department of Marine Sciences, University of Lagos, Akoka‐Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria. ABSTRACT The diatoms and dinoflagellates phytoplankton of an estuarine creek in Lagos was investigated at two stations between July and December, 2004. A total of 37 species centric diatom (18 species) pennate diatoms (12 species) and 7 species of dinoflagellates were recorded. Values of species diversity (1 ‐ 14), abundance (10 ‐ 800 individuals), species richness (0 ‐ 2.40) and Shannon and Weiner index (0 ‐ 2.8f) were higher in the wet period (July ‐ October) than the dry season (November ‐ December). These bio‐indices were higher in station A than Bfor most of the study period. Almost all the diatoms and dinoflagellates recorded for this investigation have been reported by earlier workers for the Lagos lagoon, associated tidal creeks and offshore Lagos. The source of recruitment of the lagoonal dinoflagellates is probably the adjacent sea as most reported species were warm water oceanic forms. Keywords: diatoms, dinoflagellates, plankton, hydrology, salinity. INTRODUCTION In Nigeria there are few studies on the diatoms and dinoflagellates of marine and coastal aquatic ecosystems. Some of these studies are Olaniyan (1957), Nwankwo (1990a), Nwankwo and Kasumu‐Iginla (1997), Nwankwo (1991) and Nwankwo (1997). Other works such as Chindah and Pudo (1991), Nwankwo (1986, 1996), Chindah (1998), Kadiri (1999), Onyema et al. (2003, 2007), Onyema (2007, 2008) have investigated phytoplankton assemblages and pointed out the dominance of diatoms. Diatoms and dinoflagellates are important components of the photosynthetic organisms that form the base of the aquatic food chain (Davis, 1955; Sverdrop et al., 2003).

  • Interrogating British Residential Segregation in Nigeria, 1899-1919
    UCLA Ufahamu: A Journal of African Studies Title Space and Colonial Alterity: Interrogating British Residential Segregation in Nigeria, 1899-1919 Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/98q1c1d1 Journal Ufahamu: A Journal of African Studies, 41(2) ISSN 0041-5715 Author Alozie, Bright Publication Date 2020 DOI 10.5070/F7412046832 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California PART I Essays Space and Colonial Alterity: Interrogating British Residential Segregation in Nigeria, 1899-1919 Bright Alozie Abstract The policy of segregation is undoubtedly a resented feature of colo- nial rule in Africa. However, discussions of the residential racial segregation policy of the British colonial administration in Africa invariably focus on “settler colonies” of South, Central, and East Africa. British colonial West Africa hardly features in such dis- cussions since it is widely believed that these areas, which had no large-scale European settler populations, had no experience relevant to any meaningful discussion of multi-racial colonial relationships. Some studies even deny the existence of racially segregated areas in places other than the settler colonies. Despite evidence that residen- tial racial segregation formed one of the principles that facilitated the implementation of British colonial policy in Nigeria, the Nige- rian experience has not been given a fully coherent treatment. This paper examines Nigeria’s experience of officially directed residen- tial segregation. It argues that while residential segregation policies were justified along policies related to health, sanitation, and dis- ease prevention, the motive also derived from the demonstration of racial supremacy and civilization, which was the ideological justi- fication for empires in Africa.

  • The Succession Dispute to the Throne of Lagos and the British Conquest and Occupation of Lagos

B. 1100, Benin City Edo State, Nigeria E-mail: [email protected] G.S.M. +2348027808770 Abstract This paper examined the role and intervention of the British in the internal family dispute relating to the succession to the throne of Lagos that began in the early nineteenth century. That the usuper to the throne of Lagos, Kosoko who was branded a notorious slave trader was abdicated from the throne on the account of his notoriety as a slave trade dealer by the British and his uncle Akintoye, who was also a known slave dealer was re-installed as the ruler of Lagos on the agreement that the British missionaries and traders were given free course unhindered in their operations, lives much to be wondered about. The paper argued that beyond the moves to discontinue the trade in slaves and Christianize the area, there was much more the motivation for entrenching the British economic foothold beginning with Lagos which offered a leeway into the interior and coastal areas and the eventual colonization of Nigeria.

Email: [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT Aesthetics is a critical reflection on art, culture and nature. It is the principal underlying factor for the works of a particular art movement or theory of art, i.e. cubist aesthetic. However, the conscious effort to recreate aesthetics order in Lagos State is welcomed development creating beauty and ambience environment regardless of diverse groups, religions and socio-cultural differences. This study therefore examines aesthetic characteristics of a number of environmental sculptures and murals at strategic places in Lagos with a view to understanding their socio-cultural context and connotation in the environment. Using qualitative methods, this study relies on field work, while photographs of works were critically analysed. The study extends the frontiers of knowledge on visual literacy of forms, symbols, patterns, and motifs; it creates awareness on the socio-economic benefits of arts and artists in the built environment.

  • Data Analysis of Land Use Change and Urban and Rural Impacts in Lagos State, Nigeria
    data Article Data Analysis of Land Use Change and Urban and Rural Impacts in Lagos State, Nigeria Olalekan O. Onilude 1 and Eric Vaz 2,* 1 Environmental Applied Science and Management-Yeates School of Graduate Studies, Ryerson University, Toronto, ON M5B 2K3, Canada; [email protected] 2 Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Ryerson University, Toronto, ON M5B 2K3, Canada * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 20 May 2020; Accepted: 9 August 2020; Published: 11 August 2020 Abstract: This study examines land use change and impacts on urban and rural activity in Lagos State, Nigeria. To achieve this, multi-temporal land use and land cover (LULC) datasets derived from the GlobeLand30 product of years 2000 and 2010 for urban and rural areas of Lagos State were imported into ArcMap 10.6 and converted to raster files (raster thematic maps) for spatial analysis in the FRAGSTATS situated in the Patch Analyst. Thus, different landscape metrics were computed to generate statistical results. The results have shown that fragmentation of cultivated lands increased in the rural areas but decreased in the urban areas. Also, the findings display that land-use change resulted in incremental fragmentation of forest in the urban areas, and reduction in the rural areas. The fragmentation measure of diversity increased in the urban areas, while it decreased in the rural areas during the period of study. These results suggest that cultivated land fragmentation is a complex process connected with socio-economic trends at regional and local levels. In addition, this study has shown that landscape metrics can be used to understand the spatial pattern of LULC change in an urban-rural context.
