The work embodied in this project report is original and has not been submitted in part or full for any other Diploma or Degree of this or any other University. ......................................... ....................................................... SUPERVISOR HEAD OF DEPARTMENT v DEDICATION PAGE This project work is dedicated to God the Father, who has lavished me with divine and dependable love; to my Christ Jesus, who has redeemed me with his blood, extravagant grace and mercy; and to the Holy Spirit, who has been my divine teacher, inspiration and intuition. vi ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In continuous pursuance of my academic objectives, I have incurred a backlog of debts that worth proper acknowledgement. In tandem with this, I am deeply indebted to my supervisor, Rev. Prof. Agha U. Agha, whose supervisory assistance and stimulating suggestions have encouraged me throughout the duration of this programme, and helped in putting flesh to bone. He and other academic members of the Department especially, Prof. M. I. Okwueze, Prof. C.O.T. Ugwu, Rev. Fr. Dr. H. C. Achunike , Ven. Dr. B.C.D. Diara and Dr. Mrs. A.B. Okoli, have guided and given me the right nudge in the right direction; never accepting anything less than my best efforts. I thank them all. I have been particularly heartened and gladdened by the deep-seated interest of Prof. and Mrs N. O. Ogbonnaya in my academic attainments. I thank them for the availability of their resources and even going the extra mile with incredible goodwill. They have contributed in no small measure in making my voyage in the ‘Den of Lions’ a huge and resounding success; special thanks to them. The synergy of academic intercourse between my colleagues and I has been helpful and fruitful. I thank Nwama; for her unremitting willingness to assist, Maxism; for his suggestions, I enjoyed unfettered access to his materials and ‘system’, Onyenaucheya; for always stretching out a helping hand and dropping valuable hints. Madam Nneka, Happiness, Chinedu (Pastor) and Victor, at different times offered useful suggestions for improvement. More especially to my family and friends, words cannot express what I owe them, for their love understanding and assistance. Their encouragement enabled me to complete this programme. Chief among these is my mother, Madam Annah Ogbu Onuoha (Nwanyi Jisos) her unequalled love, unmatched concern and unseasoned prayers over me are simply overwhelming. Uche, Ijeoma, Kelechi, Nkechi, Ucha are equally acknowledged for their love and deep interest in my well being. Asogu, Chimdinma, Chinyerem, Chinemerem vii (Korokotom), Chinomnso (Chairman), Ojukwu, Chidiebere, Akudo, Nnamdi(Driver) have all been unstinting in their support, prayers and encouragements. I would personally consider it a mistake of magnitude proportions, if I fail to acknowledge and extend my heartfelt gratitude to scholars and writers from whose works I derived insightful perceptions. I by no means make claim to be comprehensive. But the multiple references made to their works, speak volume of my indebtedness. As for God, who makes all things possible, words in print can hardly convey the content of my mind. Thus despite the initial diversionary hiccups that greeted and attended this project, it has turned out to be a fait accompli. In God is my glory. Udeagha Nduka Department of Religion and Cultural Studies , Faculty of the Social Sciences. University of Nigeria Nsukka. December, 2011. viii ABSTRACT The search light of this research is beamed on the increasing wave of violent crime in Abia State. The intentness is to highlight and underscore the role of the church as a fundamental institution for inculcating principles and virtues of proper moral conduct as well as foremost agent of social welfare and human development. This has been done by approaching the research in an objective and orderly systematic manner. In fashioning the approach, primary and secondary sources of data collection and observational technique were mostly explored in an analytical manner for circumspection and objectivity. The findings have laid bare the fact that the most devastating social problem challenging peace, security and human development in Abia is the increasing wave of violent crime, which assumed terrifying and horrifying dimensions in 2009, when kidnapping was added to crime equation in the state. And the violent crime epidemic has a lot to do with the living conditions of the people, waning and wobbling moral and ethical system, general inefficient and ineffective leadership. This research will therefore, provide valuable information with regard to the role of the church in the face of these criminal activities. It will provoke and ginger the church to stand to its toes, synergize and assist the state in administering adequate dose of liberation from the menace. It will provide insight for imperative paradigm shift that will assure a quantum leap for the people. This is because no society can really make its economic and political headways, when the ingredients of peace, harmony and social development are conspicuously lacking as witnessed in Abia. No doubt peace is the sin-qua-non to meaningful development. ix TABLE OF CONTENTS Title page -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- i Requirement page ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ii Approval page --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- iii Certification ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- iv Declaration ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ v Dedication ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- vi Acknowledgements --------------------------------------------------------------------------- vii Abstract ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ix Table of contents ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ x Map of Abia State ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- xii CHAPTER ONE Introduction ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1 1.1 Background of the Study ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1 1.2 Background of Abia State --------------------------------------------------------------- 4 1.3 Statement of the problem ---------------------------------------------------------------- 9 1.4 Purpose of the Study --------------------------------------------------------------------- 10 1.5 Research Methodology ------------------------------------------------------------------ 11 1.6 Significance of the Study ---------------------------------------------------------------- 12 1.7 Scope of the Study ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12 1.8 Definition of Terms ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 13 CHAPTER TWO Literature Review ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 16 2.1 Theories of Crime Causation ------------------------------------------------------------ 16 2.2 Concepts of Crime ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 29 2.3 The Nature of Crime in Nigeria -------------------------------------------------------- 32 CHAPTER THREE Major Violent Crimes in Abia State -------------------------------------------------------- 38 3.1 Murder -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  • Electrical Resistivity Survey to Investigate Causes of Borehole Failure in Ikwuano/Umuahia Area of Abia State of Nigeria
    International Journal of Innovative Scientific & Engineering Technologies Research 3(1):47-61, Jan-Mar 2015 © SEAHI PUBLICATIONS, 2015 www.seahipaj.org ISSN: 2360-896X ELECTRICAL RESISTIVITY SURVEY TO INVESTIGATE CAUSES OF BOREHOLE FAILURE IN IKWUANO/UMUAHIA AREA OF ABIA STATE OF NIGERIA 1*CHUKWU, G.U., 2OKEREKE, C.S., 3OKWUEZE, E.E. & 4CHIBOKA, V.O. 1 Department of Physics, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike -Umuahia, Nigeria 2Department of Geology, University of Calabar, Calabar, Nigeria 3Department of Physics, University of Calabar, Calabar, Nigeria 4 Dept. of Mathematics, Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike -Umuahia, Nigeria *Corresponding author E-mail: [email protected] Phone: +2348025691478, +2347034394600 ABSTRACT The prevailing shortage of potable water supply in Ikwuano/Umuahia and the efforts made towards ameliorating the ugly situation through groundwater supply system are not meeting the desired results. There have been several cases of rampant borehole failure within the area. Some boreholes give out poor yield at certain periods of the year; many others go dry shortly after well completion while some do not show any indication of water presence after drilling several meters of depth in the subsurface. The wasted resources added more hardship to the prevailing water scarcity and thus make life very unbearable for the people. Vertical electrical sounding (VES) technique using Schlumberger configuration was employed to carry out electrical resistivity surveys to determine the causative geological/geophysical factors that give rise to the problem. Data sets of both productive and non-productive boreholes were acquired together with global positioning system (GPS) measurements to investigate the problem of borehole failure within the study area.

The relevance of the study was informed by the need to bring man closer to natural environment visibly manifest in the form of slopes. The study, through data collection, analyses, and concept development determined five architectural floor methods of building integration along slopes. Different building integration methods fit into slopes of different gradients and angles which are classified by percentage characteristics as: Split level (4 – 6% slope); Build up above the slope (6 – 10% slope); Build into the slope (10 – 16% slope); Cut and fill (16 – 25% slope); and Multi-level (25% slope and above). For ease of analysis, the architectural floor methods of integration were catalogued into A, B, C and D systematic order for appropriate results presentation relative to slope factors. Keywords: Building integration, Concept, Slopes gradient, Slope angle, Slopes profile, Architectural floor method.

  • REPLANTING the SEEDS of HOME: SLAVERY, KING JAJA, and IGBO CONNECTIONS in the NIGER DELTA, 1821-1891 by Joseph Miles Davey A
    REPLANTING THE SEEDS OF HOME: SLAVERY, KING JAJA, AND IGBO CONNECTIONS IN THE NIGER DELTA, 1821-1891 By Joseph Miles Davey A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of History- Doctor of Philosophy 2015 ABSTRACT REPLANTING THE SEEDS OF HOME: SLAVERY, KING JAJA, AND IGBO CONNECTIONS IN THE NIGER DELTA, 1821-1891 By Joseph Miles Davey My dissertation argues that past examinations of West African slave systems have over- emphasized the importance of social, linguistic and cultural marginalization, highlighted by a lack of access to the enslaving society's kinship networks, as the defining factors of slavery in West Africa. By centering the narrative of renown nineteenth century slave-turned-king, Jaja of Opobo, my work argues that, as abolition took effect in the Atlantic world, Igbo slaves amassing in Niger Delta trading state of Bonny were increasingly able to maintain elements of their natal identities and, in cases like Jaja's, were able to reconnect with their natal kinship network in the Igbo interior. Furthermore, my dissertation argues that the slavery-to-kinship continuum model, first put forth by Miers and Kopytoff in 1977, is inherently flawed, inasmuch as it only accounts for the ability of the enslaved to be absorbed into the kinship networks of the slave-holding society, ignoring completely their ability to reconnect with their natal kinship groups in this increasingly turbulent period of West Africa's history. Copyright by JOSEPH MILES DAVEY 2015 This work is dedicated to my collaborators, my friends and all of the citizens of Umuduruoha.
