Preliminary Flood Analysis of Bayelsa State, Nigeria, using radar satellite data acquired on 16, 21, 22, 28 September and 03 October 2018 11 October 2018 SUMMARY UNITAR – UNOSAT has produced an estimation of the potential affected population and area by flood extent over Bayelsa State, Nigeria, using Worldpop data (2015 UN adjusted). The flood extent is illustrated by a analysis of the evolution of satellite-detected surface waters, based on satellite data recorded on 16, 21, 22, 28 September and 03 October 2018 (Sentinel-1, resolution 10m).

A national flood had been declared by the Government of Nigeria on 18 September 2018 ; . According to the Worldpop data and the satellite-detected waters from Sentinel-1 images, from 16 September to 03 October 2018, the total population affected by the floods approximately rose from 105,000 to 145,000 ; . The four most affected Local Government Areas (LGA) are Brass, Kolokuma/Opokuma, Sagbama and Yenegoa, as of 03 October 2018 ; .

Over the last half century, as many as ten million barrels of oil have been spilled across the country. That’s equivalent to a spill similar in size to the Exxon Valdez catastrophe – which devastated the coast of Alaska – every single year for the last fifty years. And few parts of Nigeria have suffered worse pollution Communities have been de-stabilised and their cohesion than Bayelsa State. Bayelsa is one of Nigeria’s main oil undermined by disputes and competition for resources producing states, accounting for almost a quarter of its arising from oil extraction which have been sharpened by onshore crude oil production, and approximately a third spills and their impacts. of its oil wealth.

But instead of being a city with culturally mixed neighborhoods, the various ethnic groups lives in residential areas that are segregated by ethnicity. This paper thus seeks to investigate how the migrant’s preference in the choice of initial residence determine the dimension of ethnic residential segregation in Yenagoa Metropolis and its neighborhood impacts. Using the chi- square statistical techniques, result shows that there is a statistical significant relationship between migrant’s residential preferences and ethnic neighborhood composition. On the other hand, the multiple regressions revealed that there are differences in the socio-economic characteristics that explain segregation within each ethnic group. Such that for instance, segregated Urhobo/Isoko and Hausa neighborhoods were found to have lower socio-economic characteristics, such as lower education and income, than segregated Ijaw places. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND TO STUDY Ethnicity and residential segregation rank very high among the oldest and most persistently studied topics in the Social sciences in Africa.

The variables investigated were: pH, EC, turbidity, TDS, TSS, Cl , SO 4, - 2+ 2+ HCO 3, TH, TA, Ca , K and Mg , while the heavy metals were: Mn, Pb, Zn, Cu, Fe, Cd, Ni and Cr respectively. The results showed that pH, EC, TDS, Cl-, SO4, TA, TH, Na and K were appreciably high and the heavy metals: Fe, Pb, Zn, Cu and Cd, Ni was found at low concentration, Cr and Mn was below detection limits (BDL). Water quality index (WQI) was computed in order to assess suitability to beneficial purposes and assess the potential ecological risk of the Brass River. The results obtained on WQI from the four sampling stations (Mouth, Upstream, Downstream and Middlestream) fluctuate from 84.13 to 86.36. Hence, the Brass River water quality is considered good based on the water quality index (WQI).

Its values in the development process have been a topic of extensive discussion. Information dissemination and accessibility have reduced the world to a global village. Africa, like the rest of the world, is experiencing change in all aspects of life: from basic cultural values to technology, which has changed not only the mode of communication, but the concept of time. In Africa, there are different methods of providing information for the people. These are the traditional African methods and the foreign or organizational methods. Objectives This paper highlights the importance of traditional African methods of providing information to rural dwellers for sustainable economic, political, communal, and social development. Background to the Study Bayelsa state came into being on 1st October 1996, when it was created from the old Rivers State.

The Case of Akassa Community Forests Management and Development Plan
Working Paper No. 19 GREEN GOVERNANCE: The case of Akassa Community Forests Management And Development Plan Dr. Sofiri Joab-Peterside Research Fellow Center for Advanced Social Science (CASS) Port Harcourt, Nigeria 2007 1 GREEN GOVERNANCE IN THE NIGER DELTA: The Case of Akassa Community Forests Management and Development Plan Dr. Sofiri Joab-Peterside Research Fellow Centre for Advanced Social Science(CASS) Port Harcourt Nigeria Introduction. For over a decade, there are raging development crises revolving around environmental degradation, legal regimes and institutional frameworks governing oil and other natural resources all of which jeopardize the region’s development. Policies regarding land tenure and resource access are of great significance for assuring the sustainable management and use of natural resources in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria where majority of the people still rely heavily on their natural resources to provide income, employment and livelihoods. Customary tenure systems remain the predominant means through which people manage and gain access to land and other natural resources. These systems are based on the values of the local people to the extent that these values confer legitimacy on the decision making process. The general characteristics of customary tenure systems include the inalienability of land so that families have secure and inheritable land holdings that cannot be traded freely on the market. Inhabitants of the Delta depend on natural resources for livelihood, thus their main economic activities are fishing and farming. This means much dependence on productivity of land and water. In context, natural resources refers to any material in its natural state that when extracted has economic value.
