Kebetkache's intervention is to build a critical mass of women in the Niger Delta who will advocate for an equitable benefit sharing of oil revenue through building their capacity to demand accountability from the Nigeria government. This is significant to addressing the low level of development in oil bearing communities and also strategically positions women in the processes of natural resource governance. The research reveals the lack of available sustainable social services within the community by highlighting level of availability of power supply, health care delivery services, pipe-borne water, transport services, and educational services. The research aimed to assess the extent of awareness of the existence of the 13% derivation fund. As revealed by the findings a great number of the respondents constituting 94% indicated that they are aware that 13% derivation fund is a percentage from crude oil paid to States in direct proportion to the amount of mineral resources extracted from their communities. The research sought to ascertain the perception of the respondents of how the fund can be managed. However the common opinion among community members is that the Federal Government should stop paying the 13% derivation fund to the state governments. The research further set out to provide necessary responses to the following questions: (I) Do we need to create new governance structures for the use of the derivation fund? (ii) What corpus of data exists on the 13% derivation fund in the proposed core study states? (iii) What is the current state of critical infrastructure, health, economic development and gender relations in the study area? REPORT ON THE USE OF 13 PERCENT DERIVATION FUND IN RIVERS STATE | 00 KEY FINDINGS Infrastructural development is Rivers State is poor and most basic social amenities such potable water, electricity, housing, public transportation, quality road and rail networks, health delivery, employment opportunities are absent, especially in oil bearing communities. The present state administration, although making good efforts, has performed unsatisfactorily in the delivery of quality governance and in the provision of requisite infrastructure and social amenities. Successive administrations in Rivers state appears to have grossly mismanaged the 13% derivation funds as the evidence of proper and productive utilization cannot be seen in concerned communities. Dissatisfaction with the way the funds are managed by the State is a source of most agitations in the State and the challenges of development the oil bearing communities face. There is currently no agency or commission in Rivers State established to oversee the administration of the 13% derivation funds. People of oil bearing communities will prefer the Federal Government to pay affected communities directly in the absence of a commissioned agency that will be held accountable for utilization the derivation funds for proper development of oil bearing communities. REPORT ON THE USE OF 13 PERCENT DERIVATION FUND IN RIVERS STATE | 00 RECOMMENDATIONS One of the functions of the State is to justify its existence and political legitimacy by meeting the needs and aspirations of the people it represents. The effectiveness and quality of public goods and services affects how the citizenry perceive the State as essential, indispensable, useful or otherwise. Thus, concerted efforts should be made by the government at all levels to improve on the provision of infrastructure and social facilities to the citizenry. Following the allegations of misappropriation and poor management of the derivation funds accruable to oil bearing communities and the attendant protests against the State's control of the funds on behalf of the concerned communities, the study suggests that the Federal Government should, as a matter of urgency, reexamine the management of the 13% derivation fund by the State Government and also consider creating a special agency to manage the affairs of oil-developing communities. The agency must work in tandem with the communities in identifying their core needs and fashioning out ways to resolve them.

Olu Oylnlade and Jeffery M. VIncent CULTURAL OVERVIEW The People The Ogoni are a minority ethnic people who live in the Western Niger Delta Region of southern Nigeria. During the 1970s, Ogoniland, or the Ogoni Nation, became part of the Rivers State of Nigeria. There are ap­ proximately 500,000 Ogoni who represent less than 0.05 percent of Ni­ geria's 100 to 120 million people. The population density of this region equals 1,233 people per square mile, making it one of the most densely populated areas of Nigeria. Reliable information about the origin of the Ogoni is limited. Archaeo­ logical and oral historical evidence suggests that the Ogoni have inhabited the area for over 500 years. Presently, two theories exist about the origin of this people.

This system of resolving disputes has been the African traditional way of resolving conflicts in Nigeria, the sub-saharan societies and the entire Africa before the advent of European colonialism. The system therefore is a time tested exercise with many variations as one moves from one linguistic locality to another. Nevertheless, we are going to examine the practice as it is done by the Ikwerre ethnic nationality in Rivers State. Ikwerre ethnic nationality is the most populous ethnic nationality in Rivers State and from where the current Governor, Chibuike Amechi hails.

Tamunobereton-ari, 2V. B. Omubo-Pepple and 3A.R.C. Amakiri 1,2,3Department of Physics, Rivers State University of Science and Technology, Port Harcourt 500001, Nigeria. Abstract: Hydrogeological work was carried out to providing an alternative source of portable water supply to Omoku and its environs as their major source of water which is surface water had been contaminated/polluted by oil and gas exploration, exploitation and other anthropogenic activities in the area. To obtaining reliable data and achieving the aim, geoelectric sounding method and Schlumberger array was employed with the use of a digital averaging instrument ABEM terrameter SAS 300 model that displays the resistance measurements directly with a maximum current electrode separation (AB) of 100m. WinResist software computer iterative procedure was used, which aided to obtaining interpreted depths and resistivities from field data. The results of the geoelectric survey were tied to various lithologies by calibrating the geoelectric values with borehole data which enabled us to establish the aquiferous zones. The aquifers were located at depth of about 22m to 30m based soil profile and high resistivity values ranging from 3415m to 4555m. The information from the findings can be successfully used to harnessing and supply safe, portable and sustainable water to the people of Omoku and its environs in Rivers State, Nigeria.

  • Life–History and Ecological Distribution of Chameleons (Reptilia, Chamaeleonidae) from the Rain Forests of Nigeria: Conservation Implications
    Animal Biodiversity and Conservation 24.2 (2001) 1 Life–history and ecological distribution of chameleons (Reptilia, Chamaeleonidae) from the rain forests of Nigeria: conservation implications G. C. Akani1, O. K. Ogbalu1 & L. Luiselli2,3,* Akani, G. C., Ogbalu, O. K. & Luiselli, L., 2001. Life–history and ecological distribution of chameleons (Reptilia, Chamaeleonidae) from the rain forests of Nigeria: conservation implications. Animal Biodiversity and Conservation, 24.2: 1–15. Abstract Life–history and ecological distribution of chameleons (Reptilia, Chamaeleonidae) from the rain forests of Nigeria: conservation implications.— Five species of chameleons were observed in the continuous forest zone of southern Nigeria: Chamaeleo gracilis gracilis Hallowell, 1842, Chamaeleo owenii Gray, 1831, Chamaeleo cristatus Stutchbury, 1837, Chamaeleo wiedersheimi Nieden, 1910, and Rhampholeon spectrum (Bucholz 1874). Many original locality records are presented for each species. One species is apparently rare and confined to montane habitats (C. wiedersheimi), another species is relatively common and its habitat is generalist (C. gracilis), and the other three species are vulnerable and limited to specific micro–habitats. Female R. spectrum had clutch sizes of two eggs each and exhibited a prolonged reproductive season with oviposition likely occurring during the late phase of the dry season. Females of both C. cristatus (clutch sizes: 11–14 eggs) and C. owenii (clutch sizes: 15–19 eggs) have a shorter reproductive season with oviposition occurring most probably at the interphase between the end of the wet season and the onset of the dry season, and female C. gracilis (clutch sizes: 14–23 eggs) appeared to exhibit two distinct oviposition periods (one at the interphase between the end of the wet season and the onset of the dry season, and one at the peak phase of the dry season).

Izeoma Department of Foundation Studies Port Harcourt Polytechnic, Rumuola Phone No: +234 703 667 4797 E-mail: [email protected] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract This paper examined the intergroup relations between the Ikwerre of the Niger Delta, South-South geopolitical zone of Nigeria and its impact on their culture. It analyzed the Ikwerre relations with her Kalabari and Okrika coastal neighbours, as well as the Etche, Eleme, Ekpeye, Ogba Abua and the Igbo of Imo state hinterland neighbours. The paper concluded that the internal developments which were stimulated by their contacts impacted significantly on their culture. Key words: Ikwerre, Intergroup Relations, Developments, Culture, Neighbour. Introduction Geographical factors aided the movement of people from one ecological zone to another in migration or interdependent relationships of trade exchange. These exchanges and contacts occurred even in pre-colonial times. The historical roots of inter-group relations of the Ikwerre with her neighbours, dates back to pre-colonial times but became prevalent from the 1850 onward when the Atlantic trade became emphatic on agrarian products as raw materials to the industrial western world. This galvanized the hitherto existing inter-group contact between the Ikwerre and her neighbouring potentates.

  • The Andoni People of Rivers State
    The Andoni people of Rivers State, of Nigeria, are considered to be an Ijaw tribe by some, a distinct ethnolinguistic group by others, and a people closely related to the Annang, Igbo, Ibibio and Efik people of Akwa Ibom State and Cross River State in Nigeria. Like these people, the Andoni people refer to God as Awaji or Owaji.[1] Historically, the Andoni (Idoni or Indo) Is the first son among the many sons of Ijo (Ujo) heir to the throne of Oduduwa (Adumu) of Ile-Ife before the colonial era and had commercial contacts with European traders and with neighboring Ijaw clans, such as the Bonny, Okrika, Kalabari, and Nkoro. The Andoni frequently fought wars with the Kingdom of Bonny. The Andoni people speak Obolo as the only native language. Obolo language is a combination of words from Igbo, Efik, Ibibio, Annang, Okrika, Ijaw, and Nembe [2] . There is a historical link between the Okrika and the Andoni people. The Andoni people are the fiercest warriors in the Niger Delta, they have fought many wars with the Ogonis yet they are the best of friends. The Andoni (Obolo) clan of Ijaw is very wide with Ohafia and Aro (Arochukwu) people in Igbo land, Eastern Obolo, Ibeno-Eket and Oron in Akwa Ibom states and Andoni, Kala-Ido and Ogoloma in Rivers State. The Andoni people are very cultural, among the key towns are Ngo (Gogo), Ebukuma, Ikuru (Ikwut), Ataba, Ekede, Agwut-Obolo, Okoromboko, Okoroete, Iko, (Eastern Obolo axis), Asarama, Unyeada, Dema and Ilotombi. The Nwantam masquerade of Andoni celebrated every first January is one of the highlights of Obolo festivities, which they share with the Opobo, Nkoro, Bonny and Ndoki Ijaws.

A total of 80 genetic soil samples from 16 soil profiles and one hundred and twenty (120) random surface samples taken from farm plots along eight (8) transects in the area were studied. The ranking of the eight transects in a descending order was: Akabuka/Obite > Umuoru/Ndoni > Omoku/Egbegoro > Obagi/Ogbogu > Obiafu > Aggah/Egbema > Ebocha/Okwuzi > Omoku/Elele. From the results obtained the top three ranked transects: Akabuka/Obite, Umuoru/Ndoni and Omoku/Egbegoro were rated 59.0, 52.0 and 42.7% respectively of the various parameters qualifying for high fertility indices while the three transects with lowest quality (Aggah/Egbema, Ebocha/Okwuzi and Omoku/Elele) had only 28.8, 22.7 and 21.0% respectively of sample stations that qualified them for high soil quality status. Five soil properties: drainage, depth, total organic matter, soil colour and texture, were delineated as the minimum data set needed for soil quality determination in the area. Most of the fertility indices were below critical limits as expressed by low ECEC, low organic matter and low available P.
