CHAPTER 1 WEATHER AND CLIMATE Edo State is one of the thirty six States of Nigeria with the population of 3,233,366 and total land area is 19,794sq. Km The state lies approximately between latitudes 5°44'N and 7’37’’N and between longitudes 5°44 and 6'43’'E. Edo State is in a low-lying area except to the north where it is marked by undulating hills rising to a peak of about 672 meters above sea level. The State experiences a tropical climate, characterized by two seasons, namely dry and rainy seasons. The dry season usually commences from early November to late March while the rainy season start from late March to early November. The dry season is usually longer in the Northern part of the State then in the Southern part which experiences rainfall almost all year round. December to February is usually marked by Northeast trade winds which causes harmattan. TABLE 1.1 AVERAGE MONTHLY MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE EDO STATE MONTHS Annual Year Jan. Feb. Mar. Apr.

  • The Nupe Invasion of Esanland: An
    The Nupe Invasion of Esanland: An Assessment of its Socio-Political Impact on the People, 1885-1897 By Dawood Omolumen Egbefo Ph.D Department of History and International Studies IBB University, Lapai, Niger State, Nigeria E-mail: [email protected] M-phone: 08076709828/08109492681 Abstract One of the major problems facing most ethnic groups today is the religion of their past by historians. However, the effort of some historians in writing the history of Nigerian minority ethnic groups during the pre-colonial Era is far from being complete. A great deal in this aspect, especially that of the minorities that experienced invasions and subjugation in the hands of the larger societies is yet to be achieved to fill the gaps in our knowledge of minority history. It is against this background that this paper discuses Nupe invasion of Esanland of present Edo State and its Socio-political impact. The paper looks into the relationship which existed before the invasion, the people’s resistance to the invasion, and the eventual defeat. Haskenmu Vol.1, 2007-2008. Faculty of Education and Arts Seminar Series, IBB University Lapai, Niger State. Nigeria. pp.95-107 Introduction We begin by stating that apart from the non-availability of source materials incapacitation the zeal of some indigenous historians in the writing of Nigerian experience in the pre-colonial period, the history of Nupe expansionist exploit into Esan with its Socio-Political impact has been one of such neglected themes in Nigeria history today. Another fact is that even when some historians have cause to discuss Esan, at all, references are often made to Esan as either one of the villages of Benin or an outpost town of Benin Kingdom.

Aigbedion, I., and Okoror, T.E.O Faculty of Physical sciences, Department of Physics, Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo state, Nigeria Correspondence: [email protected] (080) : [email protected] (+234(0)8026599221) Key Words: Accumulation, Configuration, conductivity, Electrical, Groundwater, Resistivity ABSTRACT A Geophysical investigation using Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) method with the Schlumberger electrode configuration was carried out at Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital (I.S.T.H) and environ in Esan Central Local Government area of Edo State, Nigeria. The study was carried out with the aim of determining the subsurface layer parameters (conductivity, resistivity, and thickness) and thereby ascertains the groundwater potential thereof. With the Omega resistivity meter a total of two (2) VES (Ves 1 and Ves 2) study was done with AB/2 covering a predetermined distance of 500meter. From the quantitative interpretation of the VES data(with computer iterative method) enabled the characterization of eight(8) geo-electric layers made up of dry top sand, sandy clay, sandstone and a high resistive dry sand, covering a total depth of (178.30 - 178.71) m. From the study, it is evident that finding ground water in the study area is in the upper aquifer which is shallow and may not be too prolific in terms of water accumulation and yield.

  • GIS-Based Climate Change Induced Flood Risk
    1 GIS-Based Climate Change Induced Flood Risk 2 Mapping in Uhunmwonde Local Government 3 Area, Edo State, Nigeria 4 5 Obot Akpan IBANGA 1*, Osaretin Friday IDEHEN 2 6 7 1Department of Geography and Regional Planning, University of Benin, Benin City, Edo 8 State, Nigeria. 9 1Department of Geography and Regional Planning, Igbinedion University, Okada, Edo State, 10 Nigeria 2 11 12 1413 15 . 16 ABSTRACT Introduction: Flood is one of the climate change induced hazards occurring in most parts of the world. It exposes humanity and many socio-ecological systems to various levels of risks. In Nigeria, extreme rainfall events and poor drainage system have caused inundation of several settlements to flooding. To contain the disaster, risk mapping were among the measures recommended. Aims: The aim of this paper is to highlight flood risk zones (FRZ) in Uhunmwonde Local Government Area (LGA), Edo State, Nigeria. Methodology: Flood risk (FR) was mapped using hazards and vulnerability and implemented using geographic information system (GIS)-based multi-criteria analysis analytic hierarchy process (MCA-AHP) framework by incorporating seven environmental and two socio-economic factors. Elevation, flow accumulation, soil water index of wettest quarter, normalized difference vegetation index, rainfall of wettest quarter, runoff of wettest quarter and distance from rivers constituted the hazard component while population density and area of agricultural land use was the vulnerability layer. The climate change induced flood risk was validated using the responses of 150 residents in high, moderate and low flood risk zones. Results: The resulting flood risk map indicated that about 40.4% of Uhunmwonde LGA fell within high flood risk zone, 35.3% was categorized under moderate flood risk zone whereas low flood risk zone extended up to about 24.3% of the LGA.

  • Gully Erosion Problems in Selected Areas of Edo State: Factors and Control
    Nigerian Journal of Environmental Sciences and Technology (NIJEST) www.nijest.com ISSN (Print): 2616-051X | ISSN (electronic): 2616-0501 Vol 3, No. 1 March 2019, pp 161 - 173 Gully Erosion Problems in Selected Areas of Edo State: Factors and Control Kayode-Ojo N.1,*, Ikhide A. O.2 and Ehiorobo J. O.3 1,2,3Department of Civil Engineering, University of Benin, Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria Corresponding Author: *[email protected] ABSTRACT Gully erosion is a serious ecological problem in Edo State and has negative impact on agricultural productivity, lives and properties in both urban and rural environments. This paper therefore aims at identifying factors contributing to the formation of gullies and methods of controlling them so that further environmental degradation would be averted. Three gully sites were selected from the three geo-political zones of the State. Data were collected through remote sensing, field topographical survey and soil sampling on gully walls and gully beds. Meteorological and hydrological data were also collected. Slope stability analysis was also carried out. The Kerby- Kirpich equation was applied to estimate the overall time of concentration and Rational formula used to determine the peak discharge. The study revealed that the selected study areas possess all the characteristics of an erosion prone area which are: rainfall of very high intensity, steep slopes resulting in large runoff and soil with low organic content and relatively low shear strength obtained from the geotechnical investigations. Results from the studies revealed that the gully width and depth varied considerably from top to bottom. The cross section shows that the gully is U- shaped for Ekehuan gully and V-shaped for Auchi and Ewu gullies, indicating a large catchment area and a large volume of discharge passing through the gully.
