Historical Dynamics of Ọjị Ezinihitte Cultural Festival in Igboland, Nigeria
67 International Journal of Modern Anthropology Int. J. Mod. Anthrop. 2020. Vol. 2, Issue 13, pp: 67 - 98 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/ijma.v2i13.2 Available online at: www.ata.org.tn & https://www.ajol.info/index.php/ijma Research Article Historical dynamics of Ọjị Ezinihitte cultural festival in Igboland, Nigeria Akachi Odoemene Department of History and International Studies, Federal University Otuoke, Bayelsa State, Nigeria E-mail: [email protected] (Received 6 January 2020; Accepted 16 May 2020; Published 6 June 2020) Abstract - Ọjị (kola nut) is indispensable in traditional life of the Igbo of Nigeria. It plays an intrinsic role in almost all segments of the people‟s cultural life. In the Ọjị Ezinihitte festivity the „kola tradition‟ is meaningfully and elaborately celebrated. This article examines the importance of Ọjị within the context of Ezinihitte socio-cultural heritage, and equally accounts for continuity and change within it. An eclectic framework in data collection was utilized for this research. This involved the use of key-informant interviews, direct observation as well as extant textual sources (both published and un-published), including archival documents, for the purposes of the study. In terms of analysis, the study utilized the qualitative analytical approach. This was employed towards ensuring that the three basic purposes of this study – exploration, description and explanation – are well articulated and attained. The paper provided background for a proper understanding of the „sacred origin‟ of the Ọjị festive celebration. Through a vivid account of the festival‟s processes and rituals, it achieved a reconstruction of the festivity‟s origins and evolutionary trajectories and argues the festival as reflecting the people‟s spirit of fraternity and conviviality. -

Ibeje There are many land uses applied at Ikeduru L.G.A. in Imo State, Department of Civil Nigeria, thus, the area is selected as a case study. The objective of Engineering, Imo State University, P.M.B. 2000, study is to determine the effects of land use on infiltration by three Owerri, Nigeria. different land use types; 34 of them are in farmlands, 34 in Bamboo field and 32 in forestlands. Within each land use type, multiple regression are used to determine degree of association between the rates of infiltration, moisture content, porosity, bulk density and particle sizes. Non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance is used to determine whether significant differences in infiltration rates existed between different land uses. The mean steady state infiltration rate of farmlands, bamboo fields and forestland are 1.98 cm/h, 2.44cm/h and 2.43cm/h respectively. The regression model shows that infiltration rate decreases with increase in moisture content and bulk density but increases with the increase of soil particle sizes and porosity. -

The study identified most of all the known rivers in Imo State and provided information like relief, topography and other geographical features of the major rivers which are crucial to aid water management for a sustainable water infrastructure in the communities of the watershed. The rivers and lakes are classified into five watersheds (river basins) such as Okigwe watershed, Mbaise / Mbano watershed, Orlu watershed, Oguta watershed and finally, Owerri watershed. The knowledge of the river basins in Imo State will help analyze the problems involved in water resources allocation and to provide guidance for the planning and management of water resources in the state for sustainable development. Keywords: Rivers; Basins/Watersheds; Water allocation; • What minimum reservoir capacity will be sufficient to assure Sustainability adequate water for irrigation or municipal water supply, during droughts? Introduction • How much quantity of water will become available at a reservoir An understanding of the hydrology of a region or state is paramount site, and when will it become available? In other words, what in the development of such region (state). -

[email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT Open dumpsite is the most common way to eliminate solid urban wastes in this part of the world. An important problem associated to landfills and open dumpsite is the production of leachates. The leachates from these dumpsites have many toxic substances, which may adversely affect the environmental health. Thus in order to have a better management of characteristics of Ihiagwa-Nekede waste dump leachates, representative leachate samples were collected and analyzed for Physico-chemical properties and levels of heavy metals in them. Results indicate pH7.38, temperature 28.30 ℃ - 28.40℃, total dissolved solid 124.01mg/l-125.45mg/l, magnesium hardness 4.40mg/l-7.32mg/l, sulphate 3.60mg/l- 3.70mg/l, and nitrate 27.00mg/l-27.60mg/l.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT of GAS FLARING on EBOCHA-EGBEMA, NIGER DELTA, NIGERIA *L. A. Nwaogu and G. O. C. Onyeze Department of Bioch
International Journal of Energy and Environmental Research Vol.8, No.1, pp.1-11, March 2020 Published by ECRTD-UK ISSN 2055-0197(Print), ISSN 2055-0200(Online) ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF GAS FLARING ON EBOCHA-EGBEMA, NIGER DELTA, NIGERIA *L. A. Nwaogu and G. O. C. Onyeze Department of Biochemistry, School of Biological Sciences Federal University of Technology, Owerri, Nigeria. *Corresponding Author’s emails:[email protected] ; [email protected] ABSTRACT: The impact of gas flaring on Ebocha-Egbema environment in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria was investigated. Mbutu Mbaise which has no oil-drilling or gas flaring site, was selected as the control environment. Concentrations of air quality indices: carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulphur dioxide (SO2), methane (CH4) and particulates were determined. Air quality measurements in Ebocha were made, at least, 500 meters from the flaring site. Values of important indices of soil physico-chemical parameters: pH, nitrate (NO3), sulphate (SO4) and percentage carbon were determined for the two environments. Water samples from the two environments were analysed for their physico-chemical parameters. Results obtained revealed that the mean values for air quality indices, soil and water physico-chemical parameters for Ebocha were substantially higher than those for Mbutu Mbaise except pH values obtained for soil and water, indicating that gas flaring exerts adverse ecological effect on the air, soil and water environments in Ebocha. KEYWORDS: air quality, environmental impact, gas flaring, physico-chemical, parameters. INTRODUCTION The threat to human, animal and plant life posed by pollution due to gas flaring cannot be over- emphasized. -

Research Article DETERMINATION OF THE ERODIBILITY STATUS OF SOME SOILS IN IKEDURU LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF IMO STATE, NIGERIA Chukwuocha N., *Amangabara G.T., and Amaechi C. 1Department of Environmental Technology, Federal University of Technology, PMB 1526 Owerri *Author for Correspondence ABSTRACT Determination of soil erodibility status in four selected communities of Ikeduru LGA was conducted. Soil samples were collected randomly from Cassava farm, Bamboo field, Fallow land and sparse grassland and were analysed for moisture content, particle size distribution, textural class, organic matter content, permeability and aggregate structure using oven drying method, sieve analysis, triangular chart, and permeability/soil type table. Laboratory results were subjected to statistical analyses. Narrow variation was seen in all the particle size distribution (ranged from 25.10 – 35.15) with samples from sparse grass land vegetation having the least value (35.20), samples from cassava farm and bamboo field had their values as 35.15 and 29.40 respectively. The clay, silt and MC had a negative non-significant relationship with the erodibility status with values of correlation -.412, -.532 and -.836 respectively. While sand percentage content had a positive non significant relationship with erodibility factor K having the values of .670. OMC percentage content had a high positive significant relationship with erodibility factor K, with the value of correlation as 1.000**. There was a high level of significance between clay, silt, sand, OMC, and MC with values of correlation as -.753**, -.714**, -.831**, and .955** respectively. -
