  • The River Logone: a Mixed-Blessing to the Inhabitants of Mayo Danay
    SYLLABUS Revue scientifique interdisciplinaire de l’École Normale Supérieure Série Lettres et sciences humaines Numéro spécial volume VII N° 1 2016 THE RIVER LOGONE: A MIXED-BLESSING TO THE INHABITANTS OF MAYO DANAY DIVISION, FAR-NORTH REGION OF CAMEROON TAKEM MBI Bienvenu Magloire National Institute of Cartography, P.O. Box 157, INC, Yaoundé [email protected] Abstract This paper sought to know if the constant supply of water to the River Logone, in a very low altitude area, from the wet tropical highlands in central Cameroon and the Adamawa plateau is a mixed- blessing to the inhabitants of Mayo Danay. Data was gathered through field enquiry and discussions with administrative authorities in October 2014. Results depict that a number of activities like farming, fishing, animal rearing and transport in the area depend on the River Logone despite that it is a source of floods and facilitates the spreading of malaria parasite. Conclusively, it is actually a mixed- blessing to the people, necessitating measures to make it less hazardous. Key-Words: Far North Cameroon, Floods, Mayo Danay, River Logone. Résumé Cet article permet de savoir si l’approvisionnement constant en eau du fleuve Logone à partir des hautes montagnes tropicales du centre du Cameroun et du plateau de l’Adamaoua vers une zone de basse altitude est une source de vie ou de désastre pour les habitants du 217 TAKEM MBI Bienvenu Magloire / SYLLABUS NUMERO SPECIAL VOL VII N° 1, 2016 : 217 - 242 THE RIVER LOGONE: A MIXED-BLESSING TO THE INHABITANTS OF MAYO DANAY DIVISION, FAR-NORTH REGION OF CAMEROON Mayo Danay.

    Journal of Sustainable Development in Africa (Volume 13, No.4, 2011) ISSN: 1520-5509 Clarion University of Pennsylvania, Clarion, Pennsylvania EVALUATING THE CONSTRAINTS AND OPPORTUNITIES OF MAIZE PRODUCTION IN THE WEST REGION OF CAMEROON FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Godwin Anjeinu Abu1, Raoul Fani Djomo-Choumbou1 and Stephen Adogwu Okpachu2 1. Department of Agricultural Economics, University of Agriculture PMB 2373, Makurdi Benue State- Nigeria 2. Federal College of Education (Technical), Potiskum, Yobe State, Nigeria ABSTRACT A study of Evaluating the constraints and opportunities of Maize production in the West Region of Cameroon was carried out using primary and secondary data collected. One hundred and twenty (120) maize farmers randomly selected from eight (8) villages were interviewed using structured questionnaire. Data from the study were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency distribution, percentages, and inferential statistics such as multiple linear regressions. The study found that most maize farmers in the study area were small scale farmers and are full time farmers, the major maize production constraints was poor access to credit facilities. it was also found any unit increase in the quantity of any of the resources used for maize production will increase maize output by the value of their estimated coefficients respectively , however to raise maize production, the study recommend that financial institutions such as agricultural and community banks should be established in the study area with the simple procedure of securing loans. The relevant government agencies and non- governmental organization should mobilize the maize farmers to form themselves into formidable group so that they can derive maximum benefit of collective union.
