  • Urban Sprawl, Pattern and Measurement in Lokoja, Nigeria
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Research Papers in Economics Alabi M. O. URBAN SPRAWL, PATTERN AND MEASUREMENT IN LOKOJA, NIGERIA URBAN SPRAWL, PATTERN AND MEASUREMENT IN LOKOJA, NIGERIA Michael Oloyede ALABI Department of Geography and Planning, Kogi State University P.M. B. 1008, Anyigba, Nigeria ement alabimo06@yahoo.com Abstract Lokoja have been experiencing a large influx of population from its surrounding regions, which had led to rapid growth and expansion that had left profound changes on the landscape in terms of land use and land cover. This study uses the GIS techniques and the application of Shannon’s entropy theory to measure the behavior of sprawl which is based on the notion that landscape entropy or disorganization increases with sprawl, analysis was carried out based on the integration of remote sensing and GIS, the measurement of entropy is devised based on the town location factors, distance from roads, to reveal and capture spatial patterns of urban sprawl. Then Entropy value for each zone revealed a high value, especially areas outside the core city area; like Felele, with the entropy of 0.3, Adankolo, 0.2 and Lokongoma, 0.2. These areas are evenly dispersed settlement, as one move away from the city core. Study shows a correlation of population densities and entropy values of 1987 and 2007, for areas like Felele ,Adankolo, and Lokongoma , which is indicative of spread over space , an evidence of sprawl. But as we go down the table the entropy values seem to tend towards zero.

  • Ankpa and Idah Since the Pre-Colonial Period
    Historical Research Letter www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3178 (Paper) ISSN 2225-0964 (Online) Vol.39, 2017 Crisis of Supremacy Among Indigenous Nigerian Communities: Ankpa And Idah Since The Pre-Colonial Period ABDULLAHI, MUSA YUSUFU DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES, FEDERAL UNIVERSITY, LOKOJA. Abstract Crisis has been an integral part of human relations. Right from the early period the contest for supremacy especially among the ruling house(s) has shape and shall continue to reshape relations amongst clans and lineages who hold claim to certain indigenous political institutions. Such contest emanates out of claims and counter claims as to who rightly succeeds to any vacant throne in the event of the demise of the sitting ruler. The respect accorded to the stool and the political and economic benefits associated with it generate serious crisis in such contest. It is against this backdrop that this paper intends to take a historical look at the political relationship between Ankpa and Idah beginning from the pre-colonial period. INTRODUCTION Traditions hold that the royal stool of Ankpa and Idah are relatively one just like every other traditional stools in Igala land. However the two royal houses tend to be so antagonistic of each other in almost every matter. This crisis is traceable to the succession dispute between two supposedly grant children of Idoko the progenitor of Igala royal throne during the early phase of Attah’s stool in Idah. PRE-COLONIAL ANTECEDENCE OF ANKPA AND IDAH POLITICAL CRISIS The antagonism which culminated in the creation of what appeared to be a rival stool to that of the Attah began l ong before Colonialism.

Dam, dampeverga@yahoo.com ABSTRACT: The structure of road network connectivity in any region can either promote or reduce agricultural production, market opportunities, cultural and social interactions as well as businesses and employment opportunities. This study evaluates road network connectivity in the Benue Basin of Nigeria. Data on the existing road network including type and conditions, density and length of the roads in the study area were extracted from existing road map of Nigeria, and satellite imagery of the Benue basin. The data was analysed using different methods of network connectivity analysis including beta index, alpha and gamma indices. The findings reveal four types of roads network in the basin which are grouped into three categories namely: federal highways (trunk A), state government roads (trunk B) and local government and community roads (trunk C) which are in various state of deplorable conditions.

In a traditional Igala Society, womanhood is understood as the period in a female's life which begins after she has passed through childhood and adolescence, and perceived from physical outlook to be able to bear a child; at this point in time she is ready to be given out in marriage. This study examines the place and roles of women in Igala Traditional Religion and Society. This study specifically investigates the socio- religious place and roles of women in Igala society especially as transmitters of moral and cultural values, diviners, priestesses, native doctors, midwives and hunters.

    JANUARY 2020 N C H E 149 Beyond Spiritual Focus: Climate Change Awareness, Role Perception, and Action among Church Leaders in Nigeria GEORGE C. NCHE Department of Religion Studies, University of Johannesburg, Johannesburg, South Africa (Manuscript received 13 January 2019, in final form 20 November 2019) ABSTRACT This study explored the role of church leaders in addressing climate change with a focus on Catholic, Anglican, and Pentecostal churches in Nigeria. The study adopted a semistructured face-to-face interview with 30 church leaders drawn from the selected denominations (i.e., 10 church leaders from each denomination). These par- ticipants were spread across five states in five geopolitical zones in Nigeria. A descriptive narrative approach was employed in the thematic organization and analysis of data. Findings showed that while all the participants across the three denominations—Catholic, Anglican, and Pentecostal churches—agreed to have heard of climate change, their perceptions of the causes of the phenomenon were narrow and varied along religious denomi- national lines. More Catholic participants expressed belief in anthropogenic climate change than did Anglicans and Pentecostals. Awareness creation, charity for disaster victims, and prayer were identified by the participants as the roles churches can play in addressing climate change. Although climate change action was generally poor among participants, Catholics engaged more in organizational action than did Anglicans and Pentecostals. In contrast, climate change actions were more on a personal level than on the organizational/church level within Pentecostal churches. The implications of the findings for the Church/church leaders, policy, and future research are discussed. 1. Introduction NEST and Woodley 2012; Onwuka et al.

  • Gully Erosion-Induced Land Degradation on the Idah-Ankpa Plateau of the Anambra Basin, Nigeria
    ISSN(Online) : 2319-8753 ISSN (Print) : 2347-6710 International Journal of Innovative Research in Science, Engineering and Technology (An ISO 3297: 2007 Certified Organization) Vol. 4, Issue 8, August 2015 Gully Erosion-Induced Land Degradation on the Idah-Ankpa Plateau of the Anambra Basin, Nigeria Oparaku, L.A.1 Enokela, S.O.2, Akpen, G.D.2 Department of Agricultural and Environmental Engineering, University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Nigeria.1,2. Department of Civil Engineering, University of Agriculture, Makurdi, Nigeria.3 ABSTRACT: Forty three gullies were sampled and measured on the three geological formations underlying the Idah- Ankpa Plateau of the Anambra Basin, Nigeria, to define their morphometry as well as their roles in the degradation of the plateau lands. The three geological formations comprise the Ajalli Sandstones (AS), the Upper Coal Measures (UCM), and the Lower Coal Measures (LCM). Of the forty three gullies studied, 37, 5, and 1 were located on the AS, UCM, and LCM respectively. Descriptive statistics of mean, standard deviation, and coefficient of variation were used to describe their morphometric characteristics such as length (L), average depth (D), average width (W), average volume (V), average cross sectional area (A), and the form factor (W/D). Findings indicate that the mean L = 452.27, 361.66, and 400.00 m; mean D = 6.49, 5.96, and 5.00m; and mean W = 7.95, 6.23, and 3.00 m on the AS, UCM, and LCM respectively. These translate to standard deviation values of L = 322.12 and 200.52; D = 3.47 and 4.91; and W = 5.53 and 0.87 with a coefficient of variation of L = 71.22 and 55.44; D = 532.47 and 82.38; and W = 69.56 and 13.97 on the AS and UCM respectively.
