  • 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.

N. Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Imo State University, Owerri, Imo State Nigeria Email: [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT The proximate and mineral composition of three varieties of mushroom consumed in Amaifeke, Orlu Local Government Area of Imo State were evaluated. The mushroom species include white button mushroom (Agaricus bisporus ), oyster mushroom ( Pleurotus ostreatus ), Crimini mushroom ( Agaricus bisporus ). The mushroom varieties were harvested and dried, then taken to the laboratory for proximate, mineral and vitamin analysis. Standard assay methods were used to analyze for proximate and mineral composition. Proximate composition of the mushroom was found to be in the range of 3.29 – 5.24% for moisture content, 8.60 – 22.60% for protein, 6.85 – 7.54% for fat, 7.94 – 18.63% for fibre, 2.99 – 4.74% for ash and 59.67 – 60.60% for carbohydrate. Six mineral elements were analysed: selenium, iron, zinc, iodine, potassium and copper, having values of 3.04 -6.56mg/100g, 1.532 – 2.378mg/100g, 2.70 – 3.90mg/100g, 0.348 – 0.425mg/100g, 0.8079 – 2.4615% and 0.586 – 0.784mg/100g respectively. Based on the result the mushroom have high nutrient potentials hence it will serve as a good means of reducing the incidence and high prevalence of malnutrition in Nigeria since it is a cheap food source that is within the reach of the poor.

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.

  • Antinutrient Profile of Three Mushroom Varieties Consumed in Amaifeke, Orlu, Imo State
    Food Science and Quality Management www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-6088 (Paper) ISSN 2225-0557 (Online) Vol.32, 2014 Antinutrient Profile of Three Mushroom Varieties Consumed in Amaifeke, Orlu, Imo State OLY-ALAWUBA, N. OBIAKOR - OKEKE, P. N. Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Faculty of Health Science Imo State University, Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria Email: [email protected] ; [email protected] Abstract Background: The importance of eliminating or minimizing antinutrients from foods human consume cannot be overemphasized. This study evaluated the antinutrient profile of three varieties of mushroom consumed in Amaifeke, Orlu, Imo State were determined. The mushroom species include white button mushroom ( Agaricus bisporus ), oyster mushroom ( Pleurotus ostreatus ), Crimini mushroom ( Agaricus bisporus ). Methods: The mushroom varieties were harvested and dried, after which, they were taken to the laboratory for chemical analysis. Standard assay methods were used to analyze for antinutrient composition. Result: Six anti-nutrients: hydrogen cyanide, saponin, phytate, oxalate, trypsin inhibitor and haemogglutinin were analysed and their values ranged from 0.198 – 0.236mg/g, 0.6656 – 1.001mg/g, 0.7794 -1.558mg/100g, 0.236 – 0.510%, 1.857 – 3.476TIµ/mg, 1.350 – 2.899Hµ/mg respectively. Conclusion: Based on the result of the study, it is important that these mushrooms be properly processed so that the nutrients in them will not be rendered inaccessible by the body due to the presence of these antinutrients. Keywords: Antinutrient, Mushroom, Consumed, Amaifeke Introduction Antinutrients are natural or synthetic compounds that interfere with the absorption of nutrients (1). Plant foods may contain significant amounts of toxic or antinutritional substances, legumes are particularly rich source of natural toxicants including protease inhibitors, amylase inhibitors, metal chelates, flatus factors, hemagglutinins, saponins, cyanogens, lathyrogens, tannins, allergens, acetylenic furan and isoflavonoidphytoalexins (2).

  • 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.

    International Journal of Geology, Earth and Environmental Sciences ISSN: 2277-2081 (Online) An Open Access, Online International Journal Available at http://www.cibtech.org/jgee.htm 2014 Vol. 4 (1) January-April, pp. 236-243/Chukwuocha et al. 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.

A combination of purposive and multistage sampling techniques was used in selecting 360 fish farmers for this study while a structured questionnaire was designed and used for data collection. Our results show that a total of 3,360 jobs were generated from fish production, fish marketing, processing and distribution as well as inputs distribution. Farmers used the income realized from fish farming to acquire assets such as land, cars, motorcycles, buildings and household facilities and provision of education to their children. High cost of feed and other inputs (92.2%) was the major challenge facing fish farming.Keywords: Research and technology on alternative cost-effective sources of feed and other inputs in the region be explored.

  • Of Anthony Obinna to Mormonism: Elective Affinities, Socio-Economic Factors, and Religious Change in Postcolonial Southeastern Nigeria
    religions Article The “Conversion” of Anthony Obinna to Mormonism: Elective Affinities, Socio-Economic Factors, and Religious Change in Postcolonial Southeastern Nigeria David Dmitri Hurlbut Department of History, Boston University, Boston, MA 02215, USA; [email protected] Received: 26 May 2020; Accepted: 10 July 2020; Published: 15 July 2020 Abstract: This article analyzes the “conversion” of Anthony Uzodimma Obinna, an Igbo schoolteacher from the town of Aboh Mbaise in Imo State, and his extended family to Mormonism in southeastern Nigeria between the 1960s and the 1980s, from a historical perspective. I argue that the transition of Anthony Obinna and his family away from Catholicism to Mormonism can be explained by both the elective affinities that existed between Mormonism and indigenous Igbo culture, and socio-economic factors as well. This article bases its conclusions on a close reading of oral histories, personal papers, and correspondence housed at the LDS Church History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah and L. Tom Perry Special Collections at Harold B. Lee Library, Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. Keywords: Mormonism; The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; Anthony Obinna; religious conversion; southeastern Nigeria 1. Introduction: The Official Story of Anthony Obinna This article analyzes the “conversion” of Anthony Uzodimma Obinna, an Igbo schoolteacher from the town of Aboh Mbaise in Imo State in the southeastern part of Nigeria, and his extended family to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) between the 1960s and the 1980s.1 Offering a social explanation of religious change that complicates the official narratives of Anthony Obinna’s “conversion,” I argue that the movement of Anthony Obinna and his family away from Catholicism to Mormonism can be explained by both the elective affinities that existed between Mormonism and indigenous Igbo culture, and socio-economic factors as well.

Department of Agricultural Extension, Federal University of Technology, PMB 1526 Owerri Nigeria. 2. Department Of Soil Science And Technology, Federal University Of Technology, PMB 1526 Owerri Nigeria. [email protected] ABSTRACT: We investigated the willingness to adopt planted fallows as replacement to the natural fallows among farmers in Owerri Agricultural Zone of Central Southeastern Nigeria, in 2006. Structured interview schedule was used to generate socioeconomic data from respondent farmers. Data were analyzed using percentages and multiple regressions for socioeconomic analysis. Soil samples were also collected from soils under natural fallows but of 5 different fallow lengths. These surface soil samples were analyzed using laboratory techniques for status of soil fertility indices. Resulting data were subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and means were separated using the least significant difference (LSD) at 5% level of probability. While analysis of socio-economic data showed that adoptability of fallows had good relationship with education, age and farm size; soil data indicated inability of natural fallow to cope with soil productivity demands at all fallow lengths studied when judged with existing standards. Establishment of planted fallows in demonstration farms of Agricultural Development Programmes (ADPs) of the agroecology, and studies on them may enhance certainty in the prediction of adoptability of these novel techniques of soil fertility regeneration.
