As part of the preparations for the 2015 General Elections, the Commission has demonstrated its commitment to informing stakeholders and the general public through a range of activities, and engagements with different strata of society with the aim of fostering confidence and participation in the continuing effort to build an enduring democratic culture. To increase eligible citizens’ participation in exercising their franchise, polling units within, or very close to the premises of politicians, traditional rulers, religious bodies, state and local authorities, private properties, etc., as well as in open spaces, are relocated to public buildings, preferably public schools. Thus, the publication of the 2015 Polling Unit Directory (updated January 2015) by the Commission is another step towards providing valid information to the stakeholders and the public alike. The Directory lists the Local Government Areas (LGAs) of each State or Area Councils (ACs) of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Registration Areas (RAs) of States or Wards of the FCT, as well as polling units contained therein. This Directory wiII not only help to address the Polling Unit information needs of political parties, developmental partners, Civil Society Organizations, Ministries, Departments, Agencies, the Press and other Stakeholders, but also serve as a reference document for research and information. This publication is also designed to help electoral officials irrespective of where they are deployed to effectively perform their duties. I hope that the Directory will also help to influence and educate election officials in the administration of elections in the country. Prof. Attahiru M. Jega, OFR Chairman Independent National Electoral Commission Federal Republic of Nigeria INEC Nigeria Directory of Polling Units Revised January 2015 Page iv ACKNOWLEDGEMENT In revising the Directory of Polling Units, cognizance has been taken of the relocation of existing polling units from unsuitable and unapproved locations. The decision by the Commission was taken in its efforts to further ensure transparency in the electoral process and provide a level playing field for free and fair elections that are credible and acceptable to all. The Delimitation Division of the Electoral Operations Department has worked very hard, together with the Electoral Operations Departments of each of the thirty-six (36) States and the Federal Capital Territory, to significantly improve the accuracy of this Directory. The Commission would like to express its profound gratitude to the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) as well as the National Elections Commission (NEC) of Liberia for providing technical assistance, through the provision of a specialist in Geographic Information System (GIS) and Data Management, Mr. Archie A.A. Delaney, Sr., who played a major role in the successful completion of this project. The fact that the Directory was generated from the Delimitation Database being constructed is very significant and signals a paradigm shift in the way the Commission undertakes its major activities. Finally, the support of the Commission, especially the Chairman, Prof. Attahiru M. Jega, OFR, as well as the Members of the Electoral Operations and Logistics Committee (EOLC), indeed all other National Commissioners, is highly appreciated. Engr. Dr. Nuru A.

  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

  • Succession Under Esan Customary Law in Nigeria: Grounds for Disinheriting an Heir from Inheriting His Deceased Father’S Estate Under Esan Customary Law
    www.ijird.com August, 2018 Vol 7 Issue 8 ISSN 2278 – 0211 (Online) Succession Under Esan Customary Law in Nigeria: Grounds for Disinheriting an Heir from Inheriting His Deceased Father’s Estate under Esan Customary Law Paul Okhaide Itua Senior Lecturer, Department of Commercial and Industrial Law, Ambrose Alli University, Nigeria Abstract: In Nigeria, there are three main ethnic / tribal groups; these are Hausa - Fulani, Igbo and Yoruba. Apart from these major ethnic groups, there are about 371 (three hundred and seventy-one) other ethnic groups with diverse languages and phonological structures, which are some time noticeable even within the same socio cultural setting. Majority of these ethnic groups share a lot of historical and deep cultural relationship between them as evidence mostly in the application of customary law that regulate their private life on one hand and the relationship that exist between them on the other hand. Apart from these rules of customary law, the common law and statutory law equally plays a major role in the regulation of these relationships. Some time these rules of customary law are subjected to certain test as prescribed by the common law and the statute in other to determine their validity and applicability. These regulatory mechanisms, also apply to the people that constitute Esan ethnic group. They presently occupy Edo Central Senatorial District consisting of five local government areas in Edo State of Nigeria. Historically they share cultural relationship with the Edos in the area of customary law, however with some noticeable differences in its application in certain areas. One of such area is succession.

  • NIGERIA | Gunmen Attack School, Abduct Students
    8.26.2020 NIGERIA | Gunmen Attack School, Abduct Students One person was killed and others were abducted following an attack on the Damba- Kasaya Community in Chikun Local Government Area, Kaduna State, on Aug. 24. One person was killed and others, including several secondary school students, were abducted following an attack on the Damba-Kasaya Community in Chikun Local Government Area (LGA), Kaduna State, on Aug. 24. According to local reports, suspected Fulani militia arrived at the community in large numbers on motorcycles at around 7:45 a.m. They invaded the Prince Academy secondary school, where they abducted a teacher identified by Nigerian media as Christiana Madugu and at least four final year students who were preparing for their Junior Secondary School examination. Schools in Kaduna state recently reopened to enable secondary school children to sit their final examinations. The kidnapped children have been named as Happy Odoji, 14, Miracle Danjuma, 13, her sister Favour Danjuma, 9, who was abducted from her home, and Ezra Bako, 15. The abductors later contacted the family of the Danjuma sisters using the teacher’s telephone to confirm they had their children, but made no further demands. The gunmen also broke into the Aminchi Baptist Church, which they set ablaze after destroying musical instruments and the public address system, before abducting other villagers. Witnesses informed local media that the military briefly engaged the assailants and then withdrew for reasons that remain unclear. Unaware of this, villagers continued to pursue the attackers, who opened fire on them, killing a man later identified as Benjamin Auta.

  • 1 Inter-Ethnic Relations and Political Marginalization in Kaduna State
    INTER-ETHNIC RELATIONS AND POLITICAL MARGINALIZATION IN KADUNA STATE: A STUDY OF CLAIMS OF DOMINATION IN THE STATE CIVIL SERVICE Mohammed, Shuaibu Department of Political Science and International Studies Faculty of Social Sciences, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria e-mail: [email protected] Abstract This study investigates the validity of agitations against marginalisation in the Kaduna state civil service by the southern Kaduna ethnic groups. The Southern Kaduna Peoples Union (SOKAPU), which claimed to represent the ethnic groups in southern part of the state argues that the ethnic composition of the public service is top heavy with people from the Northern part of the state, while the bottom is heavy with those from the Southern part of the state. Therefore, integrated threat theory is used as a theoretical guide. Furthermore, the study relies on secondary sources of data which was generated from the relevant literature, memos, official documents, Kaduna state pay-roll and other relevant materials. Also, the Federal Character Formulae was used to analyses the Kaduna state civil service workforce using the Kaduna State Budget and Treasury Management Information System (BATMIS). The study reveals that the case presented by SOKAPU over marginalisation of the southern part of the state in the public service contradict the data generated for this study. It has been empirically proved that southern parts Kaduna dominates the central and the northern parts in the state’s Civil Service. Out of the 24931 staff covered, the Southern Kaduna Zone has 12, 872 representing 51.63% while Central Zone has 4, 843 and Northern Zone has 7, 216 representing 19.43% and 28.94% respectively.

    oval pit holes (only one of which is used at a time) and for the easy use and cleaning of the booths. The floor of the booths will be reinforced concrete. The superstructure will be brick masonry which is durable and presentable. The roof will comprise long aluminium sheets. The lids for the opening of the pits will be removable precast concrete plates with handles. In front of the doors, a brick wall will be constructed for blinding purposes. While the UBE design extends the roof to this blinding wall, only the booths will be roofed under the Project. The custom of removing solids from pit latrines does not appear to exist in general. It will, therefore, be necessary to obtain the understanding of people concerned in school on the need to maintain clean toilet facilities and to remove solids when the pits are full in view of the use of the newly constructed toilets for a long period of time. Even though the arrangement of the booths in a single row in one building is economical and easy to construct, separate buildings for boys and girls will be constructed under the Project when the number of booths exceeds eight. Considering the local customs, no urinals for boys will be installed.

The U.S. government’s attitude is that immigrants should be responsible for their own resettlement. Catholic Social Teaching establishes needs related to resettlement as basic human rights. How do Jubilee House and Our Lady of Sorrows, both Catholic faith-based organizations in Hartford, Connecticut, fill in the gaps between state-provided services and the norms of human rights? What are the implications of immigrant accommodation via faith-based social justice for the human rights discourse on citizenship and cultural relevance? A formal, exploratory case study of each of these FBOs, over a 3-month period, provide us with some answers to these questions.
