    CHAPTER ONE GENERAL INTRODUCTION 1.0 Background to the Study Acts of conflict and violence occur daily in different parts of the world. This is due to a variety of motives, which include political fanaticism, ethnic hatred, religious extremism and ideological differences. Conflict is perennial and an ingredient towards the actualization of individual and group interests. According to S.A. Ayinla, it is a natural announcement of an impending re-classification of a society with changed characteristics and goals and with new circumstances of survival and continuity1. Conflict is a universal human experience. Its origin and nature are best explained within the framework of human nature and environment in which man lives2.Conflicts and violence are common factors in both secular and sacred institutions. In spite of the fact that the church is believed to be a holy institution ordained by God, she has never at any time outgrown conflicts and violence. This is due to the fact that, the affairs of the church are administered by human beings who are not always perfect or faultless. By 1975, the Warri Diocese, Anglican Communion, had not existed as a corporate Christian entity.

  • Water in Yoruba Belief and Imperative for Environmental Sustainability
    Journal of Philosophy, Culture and Religion www.iiste.org ISSN 2422-8443 An International Peer-reviewed Journal Vol.28, 2017 Water in Yoruba Belief and Imperative for Environmental Sustainability Adewale O. Owoseni Department of Philosophy, University of Ibadan, University of Ibadan Post Office, Nigeria Abstract The observation by scholars that the typical African people are often overtly religious in matters of interpreting reality demands a critical outlook with allusion to apt consideration of phenomena in relevant locale within the African space. The phenomenon of water has received copious attention worldwide and the need to consider this within an African nay Yoruba worldview is timely. The Yoruba of Southwestern Nigeria are wont to express that ‘water is the converge of good health, no one can despise it’ – omi labuwe, omi labumi, eni kan kii ba omi s’oota . This expression among other narratives convey a symbolic and paradoxical representation of water, which depicts the metaphysical dialectics of water in Yoruba belief. Basically, it renders the phenomenon of water as an entity that has the potency to vitalize and disrupt life-forms, given the beliefs regarding its place in relationship with certain animals like buffalo, fish and some endangered species, plants, trees as well as humans. Resultant impediments that fraught environmental order such as flood, draught and water borne diseases or outbreak in this regard are often linked to these beliefs. This is believed to be due to negating demands of the essential place of water by aberrant practices/acts, abuse, negligence of venerating ancestral grooves, goddesses or spirit. In lieu of this, this discourse adopts a hermeneutic analysis of the phenomenon and argues that the understanding of water in indigenous Yoruba belief is underscored by the dialectics of positive and negative causes that also impact the course of environmental sustainability.

  • The Osun Drainage Basin in the Western Lithoral Hydrological Zone of Nigeria: a Morphometric Study
    GEOGRAFIA OnlineTM Malaysian Journal of Society and Space 12 issue 8 (71 - 88) 71 © 2016, ISSN 2180-2491 The Osun Drainage Basin in the Western Lithoral Hydrological Zone of Nigeria: A morphometric study Ashaolu Eniola Damilola1 1Department of Geography and Environmental Management, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ilorin, PMB 1515, Ilorin, Nigeria Correspondence: Ashaolu Eniola Damilola (email: [email protected]) Abstract The importance of drainage basin as a planning unit for water resources development and management cannot be overemphasized and this requires accurate characterization of the drainage basin. This study takes a closer look at the Osun drainage basin with a view to updating the existing records, estimate the morphometric features and make hydrological inferences. The data used in this study include a 30m resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM) acquired from the United State Geological Survey (USGS), geology map of Nigeria acquired from Nigeria Geological Survey Agency (NGSA), Harmonized World Soil Database (HWSD) prepared by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), and the 1991 locality population data of Nigeria acquired from National Population Commission (NPC). Remote sensing and GIS techniques were adopted in the analysis of the data using ArcGIS 10.2. The acquired DEM was used to delineate Osun drainage basin and 21 morphometric parameters were estimated. The results revealed that Osun drainage basin is a 4th order drainage basin, with an area of 9926.22km 2 , and a length of 213.08km. The area covered by the two geology types and the four soil types were quantified and it revealed that 93.28% of the basin is underlain by the Basement Complex rocks, while 50.89% of the basin is covered by sandy clay loam soil.

A Study of Calabar, Nigeria. 1Usang, 2Eteng Eloma 1Faculty of Education Cross River University of Technology, Calabar 2Barrister Ngozi Fred C.Ugwumba Open University of Nigeria, Calabar Campus Abstract: This study focuses on peace building mechanism as an Alternative to Dispute Resolution. It sought to establish how the people of Calabar, in southern Nigeria have used it as an effective indigenous peace building mechanism to prevent, mitigate, manage, and resolve conflicts, and to draw the attention of the governments as to streamline its use as an indigenous mechanism to make the country stable and peaceful. The study was conducted in Calabar Municipal Council of Cross River State, Nigeria. The methodology used in this research was collection of information from primary sources through interviews and questionnaire administration as well as from secondary sources through library research and internet. The data used for the project were the responses of teachers, council staff and traditional rulers randomly selected from the research area. The Mean and Simple Percentage Method formulae were used to analyze the data and interpret the results. The results revealed that the people of Calabar have developed widely used and effective indigenous mechanisms for the prevention and resolution of conflicts. The study concluded that there are latent political and socio-cultural conflicts threatening the peace of Cross River State; and recommended that these indigenous preventive mechanisms should be recognized and backed by law to complement the efforts at resolving disputes in Nigeria.

RESUMO: Este estudo visa enfatizar a iconografia, iconologia, proveniên- cia idade e significância na História da Arte Nupe e nigeriana de um banco de bronze de valor de antiguidade encontrado em Nupeland, Nigéria. São feitas comparações a objetos de arte similares, yoruba e do Benin, bem como a fontes escritas e orais relevantes. Evidências indicam que o banco pertenceu a Etsu Saba, que governou Nupeland entre 1591 e 1600.0 banco é relacionado estilística e morfológicamente a alguns objetos de bronze em Nupeland, Ile-Ife e Benin. Consequentemente, é localizado, tentativamente, no período do séc. XIV ao séc. XVI, no qual aqueles objetos a que está relacionado têm sido datados.
