The Status of Human Rights Organizations in Sub THE STATUS OF HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA The International Human Rights Internship Program and The Swedish NGO Foundation for Human Rights The Swedish NGO Foundation for Human Rights supports organizations and individuals working for human rights, primarily in Africa and Latin America/the Caribbean. Priority is given to non-profit, non-governmental efforts which stress the importance of popular participation. South-South coordination and interchange is encouraged. In Sweden the Foundation participates in the debate on human rights, addressing itself to the public through seminars and workshops, and initiating strategic studies. The International Human Rights Internship Program (IHRIP) seeks to strengthen human rights organizations through providing support for professional training and exchange opportunities for their staff. IHRIP supports development efforts of organizations in countries of the South, as well as East Central Europe and the former Soviet Republics. IHRIP is part of the Institute of International Education (IIE).

The project was undertaken at an historic moment for human rights protection in sub-Saharan Africa, following the emergence over the last several years of a large number of human rights organizations in the region. It was an appropriate moment to try to discern patterns or trends in these developments. The Swedish NGO Foundation for Human Rights and the International Human Rights Internship Program (IHRIP) are the project sponsors, but the bulk of the work behind the report fell on the shoulders of the nine individuals who served as project researchers. Each country report was written by the researcher whose name appears at the end of the report. The first several sections of the Overview were written by one of the researchers, Richard Carver, and the last section, on training resources, by IHRIP staff. The Overview as a whole reflects discussions between researchers and project sponsors both prior to and following research travel. The direct participants in the project--the sponsors and researchers--have already learned and gained a great deal from this effort. Through this report we have an opportunity to share the information gathered and analyzed by researchers with human rights organizations in sub-Saharan Africa. The many organizations with which researchers met were invariably hospitable and generous with their time, and we are thankful to them. Our greatest hope with respect to this report is that it will assist these and other human rights organizations in the region to get a fuller sense of the bigger picture within which their critical, day-to-day work fits, and facilitate their being in touch with other organizations in the region that work in areas of particular interest to them. We also hope it will promote a dialogue between the human rights organizations and donors, creating greater understanding by and concerned participation on the part of donors. Finally, we hope and expect that the report will improve the work of the two sponsoring organizations, especially when it comes to the provision of training. This report is not intended to be a comprehensive inventory of human rights organizations in sub-Saharan Africa. Due to resource constraints we were not able to include in the project all of the countries in the region. However, since human rights organizations in the region have difficulty communicating with each other because of language barriers reflecting the countries' varying colonial pasts, we made a particular effort to ensure that anglophone, francophone and lusophone countries were all represented, and that the report would be available in both French and English. Because of limited resources, researchers could also visit each country for only a limited period of time and were generally unable to meet with all of the human rights organizations in a country. Thus, this report should thus be understood as presenting something more in the nature of a "big picture", a broad overview, rather than a detailed survey. To extend the metaphor, the report can be seen as a "snapshot", a quick picture of the countries and organizations taken at a specific point in time--between November 1993 and March 1994, the period during which researchers travelled to the various countries. Needless to say, the situation has already changed significantly in some of these countries, most notably South Africa and Rwanda. We will distribute the report not only to national organizations in sub-Saharan Africa, but also to other international donor agencies and NGOs. A number of these organizations and institutions were helpful to the project, particularly in the preparatory stages when we were gathering preliminary information about organizations in different countries in sub-Saharan Africa. We appreciate their assistance and are sending the report to them in the hope that it will provoke some serious discussion and initiatives on a number of the critical issues identified in the report. As project sponsors we owe our greatest thanks to the nine very competent researchers who, out of a deep commitment to the development of human rights organizations in sub-Saharan Africa, have given generously of their time, energy and focused attention throughout the past year. They have worked in a collaborative and good-humored spirit that has been a privilege to experience. Although this report is a collective effort, each researcher has assumed responsibility for the accuracy of country reports to which his or her name is attached. i PREFACE 1 The researchers are: Olisa Agbakoba, Co-founder and President of the Civil Liberties Organisation, Nigeria; Nana K.A. Busia, Jr., formerly Programme Officer, International Human Rights Procedures and NGO Affairs, The African Centre for Democracy and Human

    World Rural Observations 2019;11(3) http://www.sciencepub.net/rural WRO Impact of Urban Renewal Projects on the Socio-Economic Groups in Port Harcourt Iyowuna F. Tubobereni1 and Opiriba K. Ikiriko2 1 & 2Department of Urban and Regional Planning, School of Environmental Science, Captain Elechi Amadi Polytechnic, Rumuola, P.M.B. 5936, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: The study reviewed urban renewal exercises embarked upon by the Rivers State Government from 1988 to 2019 in some parts of Port Harcourt metropolis, namely, Marine Base, Ndoki Water Front; Aggrey Road-end, and Rainbow Town, to ascertain the impact of the renewal schemes on the different socio- economic groups in the city. Primary and secondary sources of data, as well as participant observation techniques were utilized to obtain the data for the study. Our findings revealed that urban renewal exercises have led to the dislocation of social interactions; displacement of original residents, as a large majority of these residents are unable to meet the required initial deposit for occupation since there are no mortgage facilities even when allocation is made to them. A fall-out of the renewal schemes result in the creation of incidental spaces abutting the developments and are taken over by some of the displaced people leading to the situation that called for the renewal. However, in one of the renewal schemes (Rainbow Town), initial occupants are totally displaced due to the types and cost of the housing developments which are of the high socio-economic category. Displaced residents end-up establishing and proliferating further slums and squatter areas.

    International Journal of Scientific Engineering and Research (IJSER) ISSN (Online): 2347-3878 Index Copernicus Value (2015): 56.67 | Impact Factor (2017): 5.156 Prevalence Pattern of Road Rage across Traffic Routes in Port Harcourt Metropolis, Rivers State, Nigeria Amamilo, Chukwunenye Augustus1, Sampson Ugochi Sylvia2, Ukusowa, Mizaitul May Prince3 1, 2Department of Geography & Environmental Management, University of Port Harcourt, Port HarcourtChoba 3Department of Geography and Natural Resources Management, University of Uyo, Uyo Abstract: The study investigated the prevalencepattern of road rage across traffic routes in Port Harcourt Metropolis, Rivers State, Nigeria with view to identifying the types of road rage attitude and their effects on drivers, environment and vehicle. The study sampled a total of 352 drivers across the major motor parks/loading points in the study area.The obtaineddata was analysed descriptively using frequencies, percentages, tables and charts. Results showed that road rage behaviours such as tailgating, rude gestures, unsafe lane changes, verbal insult, bumper to bumper driving, running late, high speed chase, impatience were considered the most road rage in Port Harcourt Metropolis. Findings also showed that causes of road rage includeddriving behaviour such as tailgating (46.3%), gridlocks (15.3%), poor road condition (13.15), poor traffic control (11.3), and lack of public mass transit (14.2) and amongst others. Ikwerre Road recorded a high level of road rage manifestation, followed by Aba road and East-west road respectively. Therefore, the research recommends that, drivers should undergo adequate training and sensitisation on driving skills,and other related road traffic signs and its dangers, while relevant government agencies should ensure proper implementation and monitoring of various road traffic laws, etc.

  • The Legend and the Man Mangiri
    The Legend and the Man Mangiri THE LEGEND AND THE MAN Mangiri, Stanley Golikumo (Ph.D) Department of Fine and Applied Arts, Niger Delta University, Wiiberforce Island Bayeisa State, Nigeria [email protected] Abstract Every artist of every age do impact the people and environment which he belongs. As such many Nigerian artists have expressed themselves through their art works in different media on the social, cultural, political, and economic experiences in various degrees, qualities, and techniques. Many of these artists have been studied in some ethnic groups in Nigeria but not much attention has been given to the study of artists of Ijo of the Niger Delta. The artists of I jo ethnic groups appear to have been over - sighted by researchers. Hence, the research focused on the study of Jackson Ayarite Waribugo - his status, family life, works of art and their influence on the society. This is also aimed at terminating the era of publications on Ijo which reflects the Western perception of the region. That is hope of a new approach towards the understanding of the ijo, its artists, its works of art, its people and its vast potential. The paper attempts to present a detailed record of modern Ijo artistic heritage. Instruments such as interview, and photographic recordings of visuals were used to achieve the desired objective. The study reveals that the artist combined perceptual and conceptual tendencies by expressing cultural identity through the use of Western idioms. At the same time, it provides basic information on the activities of each zone as an integral part of the national and international community.

  • Port Harcourt, Nightmare, City, Garden, Population, Rivers State
    World Environment 2014, 4(3): 111-120 DOI: 10.5923/j.env.20140403.03 Port Harcourt, the Garden City: A Garden of Residents Nightmare Kio-Lawson D.*, Dekor J. B. Department of Geography and Environmental Management, University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria Abstract Port Harcourt, the administrative and commercial capital of oil Rivers State is referred to as the Garden city of Nigeria because of its richness in greenery. With a high concentration of economic opportunities coupled with a well developed transportation network the city was quick to emerge as the nerve centre of economic activities in the Niger Delta as well as one of the most industrialized cities in Nigeria. From a small population of 235,098 in 1963, its current population stands at 1.5 million. This astronomical increase in population is not without its own problem. The city today is regarded as one of the most congested cities in Nigeria with several nightmarish problems facing both the government and residents. This paper clinically examined these problems as they are with the aim of providing answer to the question of “what is to be done” to tackle the problems effectively. This paper was able to establish that the failure of the government to meet up its social responsibility to the people is largely responsible for most of the problems experienced by residents in the city. This work was made possible after several months of intense field work. Primary data collected through personal observation, face-to-face interview and discussion with residents of the city was very helpful. Past works of previous scholars relating to this research also contributed greatly to the success of this research.

  • A Gis Based Road Network of Port Harcourt, Nigeria
    A Gis Based Road Network of Port Harcourt, Nigeria Amina DIENYE and Ajie EMMANUEL, Nigeria. Key words: Road Network, GIS, Traffic Congestion, Port Harcourt, GPS. SUMMARY This is a summary on the paper on GIS based Road Network of Port Harcourt. The issue of an improved road network due to the dynamic and massive development of Port Harcourt calls for serious concern and adequate attention. The recent physical developmental projects within the metropolis, for example, the construction of a flyover along Ikwerre road, and the expansion of Ada- George road resulted in the demolition of structures because the government intends to create a conducive and optimized road network system. The aim of this work is to develop a Geographic Information System (GIS) based road network map of Port Harcourt city that can be used to analyze traffic congestion within the city and suggest possible solutions. The handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) was used to acquire geographic coordinates of major locations experiencing traffic jams, bad spots and schools. The transformed GPS coordinates were added to the ArcGIS environment to define the spatial locations. Prior to that, the road map was digitized and geo-rectified. Satellite Imagery from the remote sensing technology was used to acquire data of new roads, for map updating and revision. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) operations (buffering, overlay and networking techniques’) using Arc GIS 9.3 were performed on the road map signifying the versatility of GIS. The study recommends that; the road

  • Televangelism and the Socio-Political Mobilization of Pentecostals in Port Harcourt Metropolis: a Kap Survey
    Godwin Okon1 Rivers State University of Science and Technology, Оригинални научни рад Port Harcourt, Nigeria UDK: 279.125(669) ; 316.77:2-475(669) TELEVANGELISM AND THE SOCIO-POLITICAL MOBILIZATION OF PENTECOSTALS IN PORT HARCOURT METROPOLIS: A KAP SURVEY Abstract This study was borne out of the need to ascertain the extent to which televangelists in Port Harcourt; deploy media content towards issues that border on socio-political development. The primary objective was to empirically determine if a correspondence exists between advocacy by televangelists and compliance by Pentecostals as mani- fested in Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP). The study necessitated triangulation with the Weighted Mean Score (WMS) as the basis for quantitative analysis. Findings revealed televangelism to revolve around the pastor (p), message (m) and church (c). Though an association link was found between ideologies expressed by televange- lists and adoption by Pentecostals, this link only found expression in the concepts of secularism and fundamentalism. Survey also revealed a dismal rating of televangelism as regards socio-political mobilization. The chi-square test showed the x2 computed to be greater than the x2 critical thus showing a disconnect between knowledge on the potential benefits of televangelism and the deployment of such benefits towards socio-economic mobilization by televangelists. It was therefore recommended that televangelism should not be used for self aggrandizement and church growth but should complement the socio-political mobilization process. It was further recom- mended that a policy framework should be put in place to ensure compliance by tel- evangelists. Key words: Mobilization, Pentecostal, Socio-Political, Televangelism, Televange- list.
