  • A LETTER from KI-TORO MAHAMMAN GAANI, KING of BUSA (BORGU, NORTHERN NIGERIA) ABOUT the 'KISRA' STORIES of ORIGIN (C. 1910)
    A LETTER FROM KI-TORO MAHAMMAN GAANI, KING OF BUSA (BORGU, NORTHERN NIGERIA) ABOUT THE ‘KISRA’ STORIES OF ORIGIN (c. 1910). P.F. DE MORAES FARIAS The context of the documents presented in this paper is firstly the history of Busa (‘Bussa’ in maps and administrative language), and Busa’s place within the general history of Borgu; secondly the traditions of origin of Borgu ruling lineages; and thirdly the West African travels of the French explorer G.R. de Gironcourt (1908- 1909 and 1911-1912). We will briefly examine these three areas in succession, before turning our attention to the documents themselves. Busa in Borgu: Factors for unity and factors for cleavage Busa is best remembered in Europe as the place where Mungo Park met his death in March or April 1806. But in its own right Busa is a major historical area within the region traditionally known as Borgu. The location of Busa’s capital has changed over time, and it is now at New Busa following the construction of the Kainji dam across the Niger.1 Borgu has a significant degree of historical cohesion, which was brought about by three overlapping factors dating from the precolonial period. The first factor was the body of traditions about fanning-out migrations, and dynastic origins, which still links Borgu’s old polities together. According to these traditions, initially members of the same lineage founded a few kindred states, but new fissions took place in these states: segments of the 1 See K.

  • Appraisal of Cowpea Cropping Systems and Farmers' Perceptions Of
    Mohammed et al. CABI Agric Biosci (2021) 2:25 https://doi.org/10.1186/s43170-021-00046-7 CABI Agriculture and Bioscience RESEARCH Open Access Appraisal of cowpea cropping systems and farmers’ perceptions of production constraints and preferences in the dry savannah areas of Nigeria Saba Baba Mohammed1,2, Daniel Kwadjo Dzidzienyo2* , Muhammad Lawan Umar1, Mohammad Faguji Ishiyaku1, Pangirayi Bernard Tongoona2 and Vernon Gracen2,3 Abstract Background: Low plant density and wide intra-plant spacing in traditional cowpea cropping systems are among the factors responsible for low yield on farmers’ felds. Sole cropping and improved intercropping systems have been advocated in the last few years to increase yield in the dry savannah areas of Nigeria. This study investigated the level of adoption of high yielding cowpea cropping systems including factors that infuenced their use and farmers’ perceived production constraints and preferences. A total of 420 farmers across 36 villages of northern Nigeria were interviewed, and data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics to appraise farmers predominant cowpea cropping systems and factors that determine the use of sole versus intercropping were identifed with the aid of binary logit regression. Furthermore, pairwise comparison ranking was deployed to understand farmers’ view of cow- pea production constraints and preferred traits. Results: The results revealed that, many of the farmers (42%) still grow cowpeas in the traditional intercropping and a good number (25%) cultivate the crop as a sole crop, while 23% had felds of cowpeas in both sole and intercropping systems. Farmers reported the incidence of high insect pests, limited access to land, desire to have multiple benefts, and assurance in the event of crop failure as reasons for preference for intercropping over sole planting.

This help to design and implement relevant long term and cost effective solutions to achieve the ultimate goal of cholera elimination 4 NIGERIA CENTRE FOR DISEASE CONTROL Cholera hotspot mapping in Nigeria “Cholera hotspot” is defined as a geographically limited area (e.g.

  • Nutrition Success
    Introducing the Immunity Boosting Sweet Potato to Kano State Nigeria is one of the countries with the highest risk of Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD). It is also particularly challenging to reach the most vulnerable children in rural, hard to reach communities as these communities are often missed during Vitamin A supplementation programs. As such, only two in five children receive adequate levels of supplementation, leaving a higher percentage of children at risk of Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD). National surveys show that Kano state has one of the lowest vitamin A uptake levels. eHealth Africa received funding from the German Cooperation (GIZ) to implement a pilot project with the goal of supplementing vitamin A uptake and Pictures from the hands-on training and cooking demon- diversifying the diets of GIZ farmers in Kano state stration. through the introduction of Orange- Fleshed Sweet Potato (OFSP).

The State has 44local govemment areas out of which 18 are Meso endemic with few hyper-endemic foci. The State falls in the Sudan Savannah and Sahel zones. Howeyer, the endemic areas are generally located in the Sudan savannah. The Ivermectin Distribution Programme (IDP) is in the 7th treatment round in some of the LGAs while in the 6th treatment round in others. However, CDTI strategy started in 1999. The CDTI project is therefore implemented in 779 communities of the 18 APOC approved local governments. Mobilization of the community members was conducted in all the targeted communities. In addition to mobilization, the state officials conducted advocacy visits to all the endemic local government Areas. The Launching of the commencement of 2002 prograrnme, which was performed by His Excellency, the Deputy Governor of Kano State increased awareness and acceptance of Mectizan by the people in the State. Electronic media, town criers and CDDs were among the mobilization strategies adopted for community mobilization. Targeted Training and re-training of CDTI programme personnel was conducted at state, LGA, and community levels, for those that are new in the programme as well as those with training dfficulties.

  • The Politics of Neglect in the Resettled Communities of Borgu: a Recipe for Armed Struggle

Common consumption goods have eluded majority of the less privileged Nigerians. In cognizance of this, aggrieved youths take up arms in agitation for a fair share of the wealth that accrued to the federal government from the natural endowments of their local communities. The Borgu resettled communities are not exonerated from the politics of neglect and deprivations other regions are amplifying to the global community. Borgu produces electricity, but they do not have light, no quality schools, good access roads and efficient health facilities in spite of the sacrifices they make for national development. The paper recommended among others that good roads, electricity, health facilities and schools be provided for the people of Borgu.
