The disease was prevalent in 4 schools and found endemic in 3 communities. Out of the 200 pupils examined in the 4 schools, 104 (52.0%;o I were infected. Out of the 128 males involved in the school study, 76 (59.4%) were infected while out of the 72 females examined, 28 (38.9%) were infected. Interestignly however., the infection rates difference between males and females was not statistically significant at 5% level. In the community study, Nri and Agulu had similar prevalence rates (37.2% and 29.4%). Adazi-Nnukwu had a very low prevalence rate (6.0%). The overall geometric mean egg output in the cornrnunity study was 22.4/10m1 Urine. The number and levels of visible haematuria were measured in relation to' the presence and intensity of -S.haematobium - egg output in the urine of individuals in the endemic communities. It was found that 61 individuals passed reddish (bloody) urine while 164 individuals passed brown urine (tending towards red). Visible haematuria as a diagnostic test for the presence of the infection was statistically highly sensitive (97%) but showed low specificity (20.6%). There were variations in the xiii intensity of egg output within the same shade of haematuria of different individuals. There was also a lot of overlap in egg output between the different shades. However there was a noticeable increase in egg output as the colour of urine deepened into frank red. Malacological surveys show that snail distribution is focal especially at human water contnct sites at arms of the lake and a stream (Ulasi) in Nri. A study to examine the effect of distance of rural water supply on prevalence showed that households tend to use water from nearest sources. The prevalence rate showed a significant decrease (P=0.05) with increasing household distance to natural water source (c.g. 71.4% at < 250m and 22.2% prevalence at> 2,000m). The knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) of people in relation to the disease in the endcmic communities was carried out. Of the 200 respondcnts, 67 (22.3%) were previously infected while 233 (77.7%) were never infected. All the respondents associated the disease with passing of blood in urine. Oya obalz (disease with blood), Mgbu obala (pain with blood), Mamiri obala (urine with blood) are various terminologies for the disease in these communities. The presence of the disease was linked with the Nigerian-Biafran civil war of 1967-1970. Although majority 98.3% of the xiv respondents did not believe it is a killing disease, 73.7% believed that it is a serious disease. A good number 129 (438) prefer&oing to hospital for treatment. CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION AND LITERATURE REV1 EW INTRODUCTION Schistosomiasis is widespread with a relatively low mortality rate but accompanied by a high mobidity rate - causing severe debilitating illness in millions of people. The disease afflicts over 271 million people in the world, 168 million of them in Africa (Peters, 1978). Estimated mortality rate is less than 200,000 per year and the number of people considered a risk is 500 - 600 million while number of countries affected is 76 (WHO 1990). It is often associated with water development projects, such as dams and irrigation schemes, where the snail intermediate hosts of the parasite breed in water where people swim, wash and fish. The disease is essentially one of rural communities, where there exists ignorance, poverty, poor personal and community hygiene and poor sewage disposal systems. DISTRIBUTION Each of the established species of Schistosoma infecting man has a specific geographic distribution. Both S. mansoni and -S. haematobium are wide-spread in Africa. S. haematobium alone occurs in Tunisia, Algeria, Niger, Morocco, Guinea-Bissau, Mauritania, Congo Republic (Brazzaville), Somalia and the Island of Mauritus. Only -S. mansoni occurs in the endemic areas of the New World, Brazil has the largest number of cases (Wilson, 19'75; WHO, 1980) estimated at 8 million cases.

  • SIGNIFICANCE of ANIMAL MOTIFS in INDIGENOUS ULI BODY and WALL PAINTINGS Nkiruka Jane Uju Nwafor Department of Fine and Applied A
    Mgbakoigba, Journal of African Studies. Vol. 8, No. 1. June 2019 SIGNIFICANCE OF ANIMAL MOTIFS IN INDIGENOUS ULI BODY AND WALL PAINTINGS… Nkiruka Jane Uju Nwafor SIGNIFICANCE OF ANIMAL MOTIFS IN INDIGENOUS ULI BODY AND WALL PAINTINGS Nkiruka Jane Uju Nwafor Department of Fine and Applied Arts Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka. [email protected] This article explores the significance of animal motifs in traditional Uli body and wall paintings. A critical assessment and understanding of the philosophical import of animals in African concept of existence is vital for an in-depth appreciation of their (animals’) symbols in indigenous African artworks. This paper attempts to a draw parallel between traditional beliefs concerning certain animals among the Igbo of south-eastern Nigeria and motifs derived from indigenous Uli body and wall painting. In essence, the article sees animal motifs in Uli body and wall paintings as playing an aesthetic as well as metaphysical roles. Hence I argue that local nuances of religiosity and spirituality have historically imbued the animals with a heightened sense of sacredness in some Igbo communities thus allowing the animals to occupy a mystical space in Igbo cosmology. Introduction The pre-colonial system of knowledge transmission in Africa was not only through oral literature but also through the varied artistic traditions that survived from one generation to the other. The rich heritage of ancient Egyptian arts (including the hieroglyphs), the numerous Neolithic rock paintings and engravings found in Northern Africa, which dates back to 5000 and 2000 BCE respectively were mainly symbolic of vital occurrences of the past, documented through art (Getlein 2002: 335).

  • Water Budget Analysis of Agulu Lake in Anambra State, Nigeria
    JASEM ISSN 1119-8362 Full-text Available Online at J. Appl. Sci. Environ. Mgt. September, 2006 Vol. 10 (3) 27 - 30 All rights reserved www.bioline.org.br/ja Water Budget Analysis of Agulu Lake in Anambra State, Nigeria 1EGBOKA, BCE; 2NFOR, BN; 3BANLANJO, EW 1,3Department of Geological Sciences, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Nigeria 2Dept of Geology, Delta State University, Abraka, Nigeria ABSTRACT: The elements of water budget equation were analyzed for the Agulu lake area and underlying aquifers. The water budget implications for soil and gully erosion were evaluated in relation to the geological formations and hydrogeotechnics. Results show that rainfall constitutes the main source of precipitation. It ranges from 1714.04mm to 1995.53mm annually. The potential groundwater aquifer volume is 1.5 X 107m3. Discharge from aquifers contributes 7.4 X 107m3 water annually. The amount of 1.72 X 105m3 that is 60% of precipitation is lost to evaporation; 17 to 21% to infiltration. The quasi steady state of the lake water level and volume shows surface and groundwater continuity as explained by the small difference between total input and output values of the computed water budget of the lake and the aquifer. Flood studies indicate that 19.5% of the annual precipitation constitutes runoff, the main agent of gully and soil erosion, flooding and landslides. The other factors that control the distribution and location of gullies are lithologic and stratigraphical, while topography/geomorphology controls gully distribution within various geologic units. A typical gully is about 500m X 50m X 30m long, wide and deep respectively.

  • Research Report
    1.1 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Soil erosion is the systematic removal of soil, including plant nutrients, from the land surface by various agents of denudation (Ofomata, 1985). Water being the dominant agent of denudation initiates erosion by rain splash impact, drag and tractive force acting on individual particles of the surface soil. These are consequently transported seizing slope advantage for deposition elsewhere. Soil erosion is generally created by initial incision into the subsurface by concentrated runoff water along lines or zones of weakness such as tension and desiccation fractures. As these deepen, the sides give in or slide with the erosion of the side walls forming gullies. During the Stone Age, soil erosion was counted as a blessing because it unearths valuable treasures which lie hidden below the earth strata like gold, diamond and archaeological remains. Today, soil erosion has become an endemic global problem, In the South eastern Nigeria, mostly in Anambra State, it is an age long one that has attained a catastrophic dimension. This environmental hazard, because of the striking imprints on the landscape, has sparked off serious attention of researchers and government organisations for sometime now. Grove(1951); Carter(1958); Floyd(1965); Ofomata (1964,1965,1967,1973,and 1981); all made significant and refreshing contributions on the processes and measures to combat soil erosion. Gully Erosion is however the prominent feature in the landscape of Anambra State. The topography of the area as well as the nature of the soil contributes to speedy formation and spreading of gullies in the area (Ofomata, 2000);. 1.2 Erosion Types There are various types of erosion which occur these include Soil Erosion Rill Erosion Gully Erosion Sheet Erosion 1.2.1 Soil Erosion: This has been occurring for some 450 million years, since the first land plants formed the first soil.

Eduputa4 1Department of Geography and Meteorology, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Nigeria. 2Department of Geography, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, Nigeria. 3Civil Engineering Department, Federal Polytechnic, Oko, Nigeria. 4Department of Environmental Management, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Nigeria. Accepted 22 July, 2013 The aim of this paper is to determine relevant factors contributing to the water demand in the peri-urban communities of Awka capital city. Towards achieving this aim, questionnaire were developed and served on the households in various communities to collect relevant data on the 13 physical and socio- economic factors we earlier identified as influencing water demand in the area. Water quality was ascertained through microbiological analysis of water samples. The major analytical techniques used were multiple correlations, the result of which was subjected to Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Principal Component Regression. Result shows that the 13 variables combined to contribute 90.0% of water demand in the area. Furthermore, the low standard error of estimates of 0.029 litres shows that water demand in the communities could be predicted using the 13 variables. Policy and planning measures to improve the water supply situation of the area were suggested. Key words: Capital, communities, factors, peri-urban, water demand.
