A Novel Methodological Approach of Estimating Jacob F. Olorunfemi1* and Irewolede Fashagba1 1 Department of Geography and Environmental Management, University of Ilorin, Ilorin, Nigeria. * Corresponding author: [email protected] A NOVEL methodological approach GEOGRAPHY OF Estimating URBAN Population 17 IN NIGERIA Abstract. The primary source of population data in Nigeria is the census despite its inconsistency. Consequently, efforts made to estimate population from such census figures and sometimes vital registration system has proved inadequate because of diverse problems. This study is aimed at developing a technique of population estimation in Nigeria using symptomatic data. The data for this study were collected through survey method, immunization and school enrolment data were collected from the Expanded Programme on Immunization and Ministry of Education, respectively. The average number of people per house or crowding index (CI) for Kabba was combined with immunization and school enrolment to establish a relationship which was subsequently used in regression analysis to estimate population. The results show that the population of Kabba and Kogi State were 70,870 and 4,230,382, respectively. The study recommended that the model can be used for population estimation in Nigeria and in places that have similar population data generation problems.

The population data collection dates back to inhabitants of such areas are faced with 1789 in Nigeria, but there has never been poor roads, poor/ inadequate housing, any consistency in the process. Despite this, inadequate water supply, poor power population data have remained the main supply, as well as poor dietary intake, among ingredient on which every social, economic others. and spatial development planning is based. The need for population data is felt more In ameliorating such situations, researchers than ever before in Nigeria because of rapid have concerned themselves with how to urbanization.

URBAN SPRAWL, PATTERN AND MEASUREMENT IN LOKOJA, NIGERIA URBAN SPRAWL, PATTERN AND MEASUREMENT IN LOKOJA, NIGERIA Michael Oloyede ALABI Department of Geography and Planning, Kogi State University P.M. B. 1008, Anyigba, Nigeria ement [email protected] Abstract Lokoja have been experiencing a large influx of population from its surrounding regions, which had led to rapid growth and expansion that had left profound changes on the landscape in terms of land use and land cover. This study uses the GIS techniques and the application of Shannon’s entropy theory to measure the behavior of sprawl which is based on the notion that landscape entropy or disorganization increases with sprawl, analysis was carried out based on the integration of remote sensing and GIS, the measurement of entropy is devised based on the town location factors, distance from roads, to reveal and capture spatial patterns of urban sprawl. Then Entropy value for each zone revealed a high value, especially areas outside the core city area; like Felele, with the entropy of 0.3, Adankolo, 0.2 and Lokongoma, 0.2. These areas are evenly dispersed settlement, as one move away from the city core. Study shows a correlation of population densities and entropy values of 1987 and 2007, for areas like Felele ,Adankolo, and Lokongoma , which is indicative of spread over space , an evidence of sprawl. But as we go down the table the entropy values seem to tend towards zero.

Abstract The devastating effect of flooding has led to associated serious problems and socio- economic implications. Displaced people are faced with being over-crowded in camps with the attendant consequences which include displaced children facing many dangers, Keywords especially if they have become separated from their families. Poor nutrition, poor sanitary conditions and inability to access health services make displaced persons prey to a host of Disaster; diseases, most of which could be preventable. The study aim is to identify the socio- IDPs; economic impacts resulting to devastating flood among internally displaced persons (IDPs) Flood; in Nigeria.

[email protected] Stephen, Makoji Roberts Salford University Business School, Greater Manchester, Uk [email protected] Agboni, Uyo Joy Department of Public Administration, Kogi State University, Anyigba- Nigeria Doi:10.5901/mjss.2013.v4n6p335 Abstract The under- performance of Nigeria’s 776 Local governments have continued to attract huge policy and research concerns in the last three decades. This, among other reasons is because huge amount of resources is committed to this vital tier of government annually from the federation account, with very little visible impact on the lives of the nation’s teaming rural population. This paper focuses on Ofu Local government in Kogi State – North Central –Nigeria. It evaluates how the local government has performed with regards to its internal workings and service delivery. The findings show that Ofu local government’s performance by all indices does not justify the financial resources it has received from the federation account in the period under evaluation. The reasons for this under performance ranges from corruption to slow and inefficient administrative processes but most important is the fact that the peoples input is left out in policy designs. Hence government interventions are significantly at variance with the people’s felt – need. The paper recommends among others, a bridge of gap driven by the active involvement of the people at all stages of programmes designed to offer them services.

    Historical Research Letter www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3178 (Paper) ISSN 2225-0964 (Online) Vol.39, 2017 Crisis of Supremacy Among Indigenous Nigerian Communities: Ankpa And Idah Since The Pre-Colonial Period ABDULLAHI, MUSA YUSUFU DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES, FEDERAL UNIVERSITY, LOKOJA. Abstract Crisis has been an integral part of human relations. Right from the early period the contest for supremacy especially among the ruling house(s) has shape and shall continue to reshape relations amongst clans and lineages who hold claim to certain indigenous political institutions. Such contest emanates out of claims and counter claims as to who rightly succeeds to any vacant throne in the event of the demise of the sitting ruler. The respect accorded to the stool and the political and economic benefits associated with it generate serious crisis in such contest. It is against this backdrop that this paper intends to take a historical look at the political relationship between Ankpa and Idah beginning from the pre-colonial period. INTRODUCTION Traditions hold that the royal stool of Ankpa and Idah are relatively one just like every other traditional stools in Igala land. However the two royal houses tend to be so antagonistic of each other in almost every matter. This crisis is traceable to the succession dispute between two supposedly grant children of Idoko the progenitor of Igala royal throne during the early phase of Attah’s stool in Idah. PRE-COLONIAL ANTECEDENCE OF ANKPA AND IDAH POLITICAL CRISIS The antagonism which culminated in the creation of what appeared to be a rival stool to that of the Attah began l ong before Colonialism.

Dam, [email protected] ABSTRACT: The structure of road network connectivity in any region can either promote or reduce agricultural production, market opportunities, cultural and social interactions as well as businesses and employment opportunities. This study evaluates road network connectivity in the Benue Basin of Nigeria. Data on the existing road network including type and conditions, density and length of the roads in the study area were extracted from existing road map of Nigeria, and satellite imagery of the Benue basin. The data was analysed using different methods of network connectivity analysis including beta index, alpha and gamma indices.
