Ibekwe Department of Geography & Environmental Science, University of Calabar, Calabar, Nigeria. Abstract Festivals and events, if well-packaged for tourism, can be a veritable instrument for community development especially in developing countries in dire need of catalysts for the take-off or sustenance of sustainable development of the society. Triennially, the people of Igbere – a community in Bende Local Government Area of Abia State, South-eastern Nigeria – gather to celebrate the Ezumezu Igbere festival with pomp and pageantry. Huge sums of money are often raised through donations and other commitments for community development by illustrious and well-to-do sons and daughters of the community and their friends and associates. Despite these gigantic sums of money realized, the community still lacks basic socio-economic amenities such as clean portable water in the public domain, efficient and affordable primary healthcare facilities, among others. The objective of this study therefore, is the assessment of the contributions of Ezumezu Igbere festival to community development and to the sustainability of the livelihoods of households in the Community. The survey method was used to gather, through the use of a questionnaire, the primary data analyzed; and, the 2-Way ANOVA and Chi-Square statistical techniques were used to test the hypotheses formulated to guide the study. The findings include the confirmation that the Ezumezu Igbere festival, through the direct utilization of proceeds of the festival, has failed to contribute significantly to the development of infrastructural projects in the Community.

To achieve the purpose of this study, one (1) null hypothesis was formulated to direct the study. Survey research design was adopted for the study. The sample was made of five hundred and forty four (544) respondents drawn from the area of the study. The instruments for data collection were Carnival Activity Questionnaire (CAQ) and Economic Development Questionnaire (EDQ) developed by the researchers which were validated by three (3) experts in Measurement and Evaluation. The reliability was established through test-retest reliability. Pearson Product Moment Correlation analysis was adopted to test the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The result of the analysis revealed that carnival activities had significant influence on economic development of the State. It was therefore recommended that the Calabar annual carnival should be decentralized and extended to other zones and Local Government Areas of the State to enable them showcase their tourism potentials which has remain in obscurity.

  • Evaluating the Place of the Ekpe Traditional Institution As a Tool for Nation-Building in Pre-Colonial Cross River Region
    Historical Research Letter www.iiste.org ISSN 2224-3178 (Paper) ISSN 2225-0964 (Online) DOI: 10.7176/HRL Vol.49, 2019 Evaluating the Place of the Ekpe Traditional Institution as a Tool for Nation-Building in Pre-Colonial Cross River Region Inyang Bassey 1 Charles E. Ekpo 2* 1.Department of History and International Studies, University of Calabar, Nigeria 2.Post-Graduate Student, Peace and Conflict Studies Programme, Institute for Peace and Strategic Studies, University of Ibadan, Nigeria Abstract The Cross River region is a vast socio-cultural mosaic which accommodates peoples of distinct ethnic, religious, social, economic and political inclinations. Its northern half is infact, the birth place of the Bantu group who are known to speak over 200 related languages. Amidst this plurality in culture, a traditional institution played a crucial role in the amalgamation of political structures which, if not for colonial intervention, could have engineered a nation out of these different socio-cultural groups; that traditional institution was the Ekpe institution. Literature on the proliferation and indeed imperium of Ekpe abounds. Yet, none explicitly explain the confederation which the Ekpe was at the process of engineering in the Cross River region before colonialism interrupted such progress. This work examines the unsung attempt by the Ekpe traditional institution to forge a confederation across the segmented peoples of the Cross River region. Utilizing primary and secondary evidences, it has been shown in the work that such efforts at nation-building were yielding results and would have maturated into a formidable central political unit but for colonial truncation. Keywords: Ekpe, Old Calabar, Nation-building, Ekpe confederacy, Cross River Region DOI : 10.7176/HRL/49-02 Publication date : August 31 st 2019 1.
