    AN EXPLORATORY DEMOGRAPHIC STUDY OF THE NUPE OF NIGER STATE: THE CASE OF SAKPE VILLAGE by Abubakar Katcha Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the Degree of Master of Arts in Demography in the Australian National University Canberra, January 1978 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to express my profound thanks to Dr. D.W. Lucas, my supervisor, for the keen interest shown in the study as well as the guidance he has given me so kindly. It is with a sense of deepest gratitude that I acknowledge the encouragement given me by Professor J.C. Caldwell who also placed at my disposal some of his papers on Nigeria. I also wish to thank Dr. P.F. McDonald and Dr. S.K. Jain for sparing some of their valuable time to attend to some of the problems posed in the course of the study. I sincerely appreciate the help of Mr. 1.0. Orubuloye who made valuable comments and suggestions on specific points. Mrs. B. Ballard went through the draft and practically other staff and colleagues of the Department of Demography gave real help of one type or another. I am grateful to all of them. Secretarial assistance by Mrs. P. Ashman is very gratefully acknowledged. I also wish to thank Ms. N. Chin who expertly typed the thesis. Finally, it is a pleasure to express my gratitude to my wife, Fatima, who later joined me thereby making my last stay in Australia so interesting. iii ABSTRACT This pioneer survey, conducted in Sakpe Village in April 1977, obtained data on the basic demographic characteristics of a selected typical Nupe Village.

  • THE BEGINNINGS of ISLAM in NUPELAND in NORTH CENTRAL AREA of NIGERIA Sheshi T
    12-14 October 2015- Istanbul, Turkey Proceedings of ADVED15 International Conference on Advances in Education and Social Sciences THE BEGINNINGS OF ISLAM IN NUPELAND IN NORTH CENTRAL AREA OF NIGERIA Sheshi T. Sidi Departments of History and Social Studies, Federal College of Education, Kontagora, Niger State of Nigeria, rosijioluwafemiju@gmail.com Abstract Nupe is one of the major ethnic groups in Nigeria. The area it occupies is called Nupeland which falls within the lower basins of Rivers Niger and Kaduna in the Middle Niger region. The land is described as being generally in the area of low relief and abundant drainage formed by the influence of River Niger and its tributaries. Nupe can be seen in three perspectives: as a tribe, as a language, and as an ethnic group or nation. As a tribe, it has a distinctive identity. As a language, it is spoken as a mother tongue in several states of central Nigeria, including Niger, Kwara, Kogi, Nasarawa and Federal Capital Territory (F.C.T) Abuja. People who speak the language are called Nupenchizhi (plu). As a nation, or ethnic group, it evolved one of the greatest polities Nupe Kingdom, known both within and outside Nigeria. Nupe of old can be described as a nation rich in culture, civilization and power comparable with other world ancient civilizations such as Roman, Greek, Egyptian and Byzantium. This paper focuses on the introduction of Islam into Nupeland. It argues that contrary to the generally held view, the influence of Islam on the area far predated the 19th century Jihad movements in Northern Nigeria.

    Ethiopian Journal of Environmental Studies and Management Vol. 4 No.1 2011 The Geotechnical Properties Of Clay Occurrences Around Kutigi Central Bida Basin, Nigeria. 1Akhirevbulu O.E. and 2Ogunbajo M.I doi: 10.4314/ejesm.v4i1.3 Abstract The aim of this research project is to investigate occurrences of clay around Kutigi with an objective to determine its geotechnical properties. The study area (Kutigi) falls within the Bida Basin of Niger State. The methodology of research includes detailed mapping of the area, collection of clay samples, determination of; natural moisture contents, Atterberg limit, plasticity index, sieve analysis and coefficients of permeability. The results of the geotechnical analysis of the clay samples, suggests an average; moisture content of about 0.9% and 0.72%, liquid limit of about 19.9% and 22.1%, plastic limit of about 14.1% and 16.8%, plasticity index of about 5.8 and 5.3%, and a linear shrinkage limit of about 7.2% and 5.9%, for both locations A and B respectively. Results of the plasticity classification chart suggest that the soils are composed of inorganic clay of low plasticity. While results from the modified plasticity classification chart revealed three clay minerals; these include montmorillonite (35%), illite (35%) and kaolinite (30%). A simple comparison of sieve analysis results suggest soils from location A to be more coarse-grained within the coarser half of the sieves (i.e. between 5mm to 0.3mm), and also more fine- grained in the finer half of the sieves (i.e. between 0.01mm to 0.075mm) than soils from location B.

  • Exploring the Tourism Potentials of Cultural Landscape of Nupe Communities in Central Nigeria
    Contemporary Issues and Sustainable Practices in the Built Environment EXPLORING THE TOURISM POTENTIALS OF CULTURAL LANDSCAPE OF NUPE COMMUNITIES IN CENTRAL NIGERIA Isyaku Mahmud & Isa Bala Muhammad Department of Architecture, Federal University of Technology Minna, Niger State Nigeria Tourism has been identified as one of the major socio-economic activity in the world. The importance of tourism has also seen it being promoted as a key driver for socio-economic progress of nations. Albeit cultural landscapes are uniquely constituted and thus they offer the premise for tourism attraction. The Nupe cultural landscape has been found to have rich cultural heritage, but with limited exposure to the global community the tourism potentials. More also is that tourism destinations are not limited to physical landscape but also includes the social transactions of the people who inhabit such environment. Markedly, the Nupe communities in central Nigeria are characterised with varying landscapes which includes riverine as well as the upland settlement. However, little studies exist on the cultural landscape transactions of the Nupe communities. More also is that tourism potentials of communities are enhanced through the understanding of how indigenous communities perceived their landscape. As such this research embarked upon a qualitative documentation of cultural landscape values of some selected Nupe communities in Central Nigeria which include Bida, Kutigi, Nupeko and Patigi local government in Niger and Kwara States respectively. This involved participants observations as well as the conduct of interviews on resident of selected riverine and upland Nupe communities. In the exploratory study, elicitation of data laid emphasis on both built and unbuilt features of the cultural landscapes which were perceived as valuable to the residents.
