Au stade actuel de la publication de cette revue, on peut constater qu’elle est l’objet d’un intérêt de plus en plus croissant de la part des chercheurs en éducation d’Afrique et des autres continents. Le processus d’édition du présent numéro de la revue a pris plus de temps que prévu en raison du nombre de propositions adressées pour l’expertise. Le menu de ce numéro est composé de 10 articles dont 3 en anglais et 7 en français. D’entrée de jeu, l’ouverture de la scène est assurée par un article de haute portée réflexive qui s’attache à rétablir un ensemble de faits relatifs à la recherche en Afrique avec Thérèse Tchombé du Cameroun. Elle s’attache àlever les idées fausses véhiculées sur la non productivité ou la pauvreté des contributions de la recherche africaine au sein de la pensée mondiale.Ce paradigme, s’il persiste, n’est pas propice au développement de l’éducation tel que souhaité par les objectifs 2030 et l’agenda 2035. Cette ouverture qui pose le cadre de la réflexion sur l’éducation en Afrique structure la suite du numéro autour de trois claviers hiérarchisés. Le premier registre renvoie à l’environnement économique de l’éducation dans trois pays. En effet, il s’agit d’examiner les implications économiques des Programmes d’Ajustement Structurel (PAS) sur l’éducation au Cameroun, le coût de l’éducation et l’efficacité interne au Ghana ainsi que la scolarisation et le travail des enfants dans les régions d’économie de plantation en Côte d’Ivoire. Le passage au second clavier nous conduit à parcourir les études mettant en exergue les stratégies familiales de scolarisation au Burkina Faso, les styles d’apprentissage et les performances académiques en mathématiques au Nigéria ainsi que les performances scolaires en lien avec les modèles d’identification en Côte d’Ivoire. Le dernier palier est composé de contributions qui posent les conditions de réalisation de l’acte éducatif. En effet, le processus de transformation de l’individu par l’éducation repose sur des droits fondamentaux et particulièrement la sécurité. Dans le cas de la Côte d’Ivoire et du Cameroun, les apports de connaissances permettent d’éviter les comportements à risque ainsi que toutes les formes de violence avec les châtiments corporels dans les écoles. Bonne lecture de ceN°8 qui regorge de contributions sélectionnées avec rigueur et dans le souci constant de fournir des produits de qualité. Les éditeurs en chef 8 Journal of Educational Research in Africa JERA/RARE 8 JERA/RARE 8 Revue Africaine de Recherche en Education 9 EDITORIAL The Educational Research Network for West and Central Africa is presenting the issue N° 8 of its Journal of Educational Research in Africa (JERA). Presently, it can be noticed that the Journal is gaining a growing interest from educational researchers in Africa and other continents. Due to the number of submissions, the editing process of this present issue of the Journal has taken longer time than expected. The issue comprises 10 articles among which 3 in English and 7 in French. First and foremost, the Journal starts with Therese Tchombe’s article of a high reflexive depth highlighting a set of facts related to Research in Africa. She exhibits the wrong ideas made on the lack of productivity or the poor contribution of African research within the global thinking. This paradigm, when it persists, does not favor educational development as yearned by the 2030 goals and the 2035 Agenda. The starting phase which shows the thinking framework on education in Africa structures the issue in three hierarchical parts. The first part dwells on the economic environment of education in three countries. Therefore, it means to examine the economic implications of structural adjustment programmes on education in Cameroon, the cost of education and the internal effectiveness in Ghana as well as the schooling and the work of

    Unmet Needs for Care and Support for the Elderly in Nigeria

    Unmet Needs for Care and Support for the Elderly in Nigeria: Gaps in Experiences and Expectations of the Aged in Ilesa, South-West Nigeria DOI: 10.36108/NJSA/4102/12(0120) Akanni Ibukun Akinyemi 1 Ambrose Akinlo Department of Demography and Social Statistics Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile Ife, Nigeria 1Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The study is focused on understanding the broad issues of care and support of the elderly with a view to explaining factors influencing the gaps in their expectations and experiences. This is an empirical attempt with a view to understanding and under- scoring the importance and limitation of the domains of support from core family members (spouses and children) within the available support networks for the elderly. The study utilized primary dataset including quantitative and qualitative data collected in Ijesa communities in South-west, Nigeria. The findings showed that children and spouses ranked highest among sources of support networks rated by the elderly for five patterns of support identified. Logistic regression results showed that individual variables including age, education, family of orientation, and living in same town with children to a large extent determine level of unmet need for support. The study concluded that personal attributes rather than other social variables are important determinants of high level of unmet need for elderly. Keywords: unmet needs, care and support, elderly, Ilesa, Nigeria Introduction Increasing trend in the population of the aged or elderly has been a big challenge for many developed countries. Their prevailing high life expectancy and low total fertility rates, hovering around the replacement level of 2.1, have given rise to a population structure with a large proportion of the aged relative to the working population.

ADESOJI, Taofeek O. HASSAN, Nurudeen O. AROGUNDADE Department of History, Obafemi Awolowo University ABSTRACT The minority problem has been a major issue of interest at both the micro and national levels. Aside from the acclaimed Yoruba homogeneity and the notion of Ile-Ife as the cradle of Yoruba civilization, relationships between Ife indigenes and other communities in Ife Division (now in Osun State, Nigeria) have generated issues due to, and influenced by, politi- cal representation. Where allegations of marginalization have not been leveled, accommoda- tion has been based on extraneous considerations, similar to the ways in which outright exclu- sion and/or extermination have been put forward. Not only have suspicion, feelings of outright rejection, and subtle antagonism characterized majority–minority relations in Ife Division/ Administrative Zone, they have also produced political-cum-administrative and territorial ad- justments. As a microcosm of the Nigerian state, whose major challenge since attaining politi- cal independence has been the harmonization of interests among the various ethnic groups in the country, the Ife situation presents a peculiar example of the myths and realities of majority domination and minority resistance/response, or even a supposed minority attempt at domina- tion.

Nigeria 1J.A Ige and 2S.O. Ajamu 1,2Department of Civil Engineering, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso Correspondence e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT Granite is an essential constituent material in concrete production as its inadequate quantity has led to massive application of gravel in construction works. Locally sourced gravels are characterized with impurities which affect the quality of the concrete. Therefore, this study investigated the quality of locally-sourced gravel across Osun State. Gravel samples were obtained from the borrowed pits across the three Senatorial Districts viz Osun West (OSW); Osun Central (OSC); and Osun East (OSE) of the State. The locations are: OSW [Irewole (IRW: 07030’N 04020’E), Egbedore (EGBE: 07040’N 04030’E), Ede North (EDE: 07040’N 04030’E)]; OSC [Ifelodun (IFD: 07055’N 04041’E), Osogbo (OSO: 7046’N 4034’E), Olorunda (OLO: 7046’N 4034’E)] ; and OSE [Ilesa West (ILS: 700N 500E), Ife Central (IFE: 70050’N 4069’E), Ife East (IFEE: 70050’N 4069’E)]. Physical examination in accordance with BS 882, Aggregate Crushing Value (ACV) test, and sieve analysis were carried out on the gravel samples. Concrete cubes were cast, subjected to Slump, Compressive strength and compared with BS 812 Standard. Physical examination shows samples having dry, dark, and brownish gravelly irregular shapes for OSW and OSC while they were predominantly reddish, gravelly irregular shapes for OSE.

    Leveraging Rural Water Supply: Demand Management for Sustainable Healthcare Delivery in South West Nigeria

    Sustainability Today 353 Leveraging rural water supply: demand management for sustainable healthcare delivery in south west Nigeria O. Ojo Osun State University, Department of Geography and Resource Management, Okuku Campus, Nigeria Abstract The study examines the status of rural water supply, demand management, and its implications for sustainable healthcare delivery in selected communities in South West Nigeria. The issue of water availability and accessibility on the one hand and water supply and sustainable healthcare delivery, particularly as related to sanitation and hygiene on the other, were also investigated. Basic data for the study were generated through the use of a questionnaire. Additional information and data were also obtained through pre-tested, qualitative and quantitative instruments and these were analyzed using relevant statistical techniques. The implications of the observed water supply, demand system on sanitation and hygiene practices in the study area were analysed. Some of the challenges facing rural water supply, demand management and their impacts on healthcare delivery in general, and sanitation, and hygiene practices in particular in the study area were also highlighted. The results showed that the present situation of water supply and demand system in the study area is characterized by a substantial water demand deficit with serious implications for effective healthcare delivery in general and sanitation and hygiene practices in particular. Arising from its findings, the study recommends a number of policy options for optimizing rural water supply and demand management for sustainable healthcare delivery in the area. These include the need to identify key variables that influence rural sanitation and hygiene practices, and mainstream such variables into the planning process.

O. and D. Omodara Department of Agricultural Economics, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun State, Nigeria. Received 18 November, 2014; Accepted 24 February, 2015 A key policy instrument in the cocoa transformation agenda is to provide subsidized inputs for farmers to replace old grooves to increase cocoa production in Nigeria. The study examined the role of cocoa marketing cooperatives in enhancing the incomes of its member patrons in Osun State under the cocoa renaissance policy. Multi stage sampling method was used to select 100 respondents from four cocoa produce marketing unions in the State. Data obtained were analysed with descriptive statistics, budgetary analysis and the multiple regression technique. The study revealed that the average age of the respondents was 64.4 years and only 16% of the cocoa farms were developed after the commencement of the renaissance policy. The farmers operated an average of 5.4 ha farm sizes while inputs supplied respondents through cooperative societies were much cheaper compared to what obtained in the open market. The gross margin to enterprise was N387, 639 while the net income was N345, 282. The regression analyses revealed that while family size, age, level of education, farm size and cooperative experience were significant determinants of output, family size, farm size, cooperative experience and amount of cocoa marketed through cooperative societies were significant determinants of income realized in the cocoa enterprises.

ABSTRACT Most people begin their sexual relationship during adolescence and some get involved in risky life threatening behaviors such as unwanted pregnancies, abortions and sexually transmitted infections. This study was therefore designed to understand the patterns of female adolescents sexual behaviours and sexual coercion experience. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out among 1227 in-school adolescents in the three senatorial district of Osun State, Southwestern Nigeria.
