  • Drought Occurrences and Its Implications on the Households in Yobe State, Nigeria Jude Nwafor Eze
    Eze Geoenvironmental Disasters (2018) 5:18 Geoenvironmental Disasters https://doi.org/10.1186/s40677-018-0111-7 RESEARCH Open Access Drought occurrences and its implications on the households in Yobe state, Nigeria Jude Nwafor Eze Abstract The study assesses the extent of droughts and its implications on the households in the study area. This is to highlight the need to integrate drought adaptation options into the government development plans. Strategies for drought adaptation options in the study area have often been made without experimental foundations placed on the extent of drought and its implications on the households. To achieve this, the study employed Normalized Rainfall Index (NRI) to determine the extent of droughts and its implications on the households, which has much to offer in terms of policy decisions. The study also utilized questionnaire administrated to 400 households to determine the annual income from different occupations that yielded more income to the people in the study area using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). The NRI shows that the study area was characterized by mild to severe drought events. The first (1986–1995) and third (2006–2017) decades experienced high incidences of droughts, while the second decade (1996–2005), witnessed the least incidences of droughts. The result of the economic activities of the households reveals that 65% of the total household respondents were involved in farming, while 35% were involved in non-farming activities as their major source of livelihood. The analysis of variance on the economic activities that generated more income to the households in Yobe State shows that farming activities provided more opportunities for income generation.

    Nigeria: Yobe State Weekly Situation Report No. 9 3 August 2021 This report is compiled by OCHA Nigeria in collaboration with humanitarian partners. Calculation of IDPs does not include recent displacements from Geidam and Yunusari Local Government Areas. Government estimates that about 54,000 IDPs from the two LGAs are still in the places of displacement across 11 LGAs in Yobe while an estimated 126,000 individuals have returned. HIGHLIGHTS • Cases of acute watery diarrhea/cholera climb to 50, including eight fatalities across three Local Government Areas (LGAs), as the state struggles with shortages of testing kits and medicines. • Amid nationwide concerns of a possible third wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, testing services continue to be hindered in Yobe due to shortages of vital kits. • Cases of gender-based violence against women and adolescent girls increasing due to worsening vulnerabilities and limited access to livelihood opportunities. SITUATION OVERVIEW Acute watery diarrhea (AWD)/cholera cases climb to 50 across three LGAs amid shortages of testing kits The Yobe State Ministry of Health (SMoH) during the week provided updates on the spread of AWD/cholera, indicating a total of 50 cases across Bursari, Jakusko and Damaturu LGAs, including eight fatalities. Some 20 of the cases had been reported in Gadine community of Bursari LGA in April. As of end of the week, five samples tested positive for cholera based on laboratory tests. There are growing concerns of further spread across 10 high-risk LGAs as more flooding incidents (which contaminate water sources) are expected as the rainy season approaches its peak.
