Widowhood in Esanland
IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 25, Issue 5, Series. 1 (May. 2020) 06-17 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Widowhood in Esanland Thomas Oseyi Ebhomienlen Corresponding Author: Thomas Oseyi Ebhomienlen ABSTRACT Biblical accounts reveal that the office of the Deacon was created for the purpose of handling the benevolence ministry in the New Testament Church (Acts 6:1 - 3). By benevolent ministry we mean a deliberate action geared towards a generous care for the widow within a giving community. This office, over time, changed to “serving table” which in the present day Church has assumed diverse nomenclature: Mass, Thanksgiving, Eucharist, Fellowship Meal and Holy Communion, to mention a few. Today, the act of deliberate generous cares for the widow within the Church, particularly the Anglican Communion in Esanland, has been said to be of low priority, far from the New Testament‟s level. This study articulates the benevolent ministry of deliberate love and care for widows by Jesus Christ and his early apostles. This was aimed at re-enacting the New Testament model of pastoral love and care. The research examined the plight of widows among the people of Esan. Particular attention was given to Ihumudumu and Ujoelen –Ekpoma, both in Esan West Local Government Area; Uromi in Esan-North-East; Ubiaja in Esan South East and Amahor in Igueben Local Government Areas, all in Edo State. Historical, phenomenological and descriptive methods were adopted for this study. Two hundred respondents were randomly selected within the Local Government Areas in Esanland. -

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. -

In November 2001, another bill A team of women’s non-governmental organizations was passed banning harmful traditional prac- and opinion leaders led by the FIDA-Edo chairper- tices.

A Case Study of Ekpoma, Edo, Nigeria
International Journal of Community Research http://www.arpjournals.com ISSN: 2315 – 6562 E-ISSN: 2384 - 6828 THE INCIDENCE OF HUMAN INDUCED COMMUNITY ROAD DILAPIDATION: A CASE STUDY OF EKPOMA, EDO- NIGERIA 1,2,3Nwaopara, A.O; 2,3Blackies, H.O.T 1Anthonio Research Center, Ekpoma, Edo State, Nigeria; 2Department of Anatomy, Ambrose Alli University, Ekpoma, Edo State, Nigeria; Innovative Science Research, Foundation, Ekpoma, Edo State, Nigeria. Correspondence: [email protected] ABSTRACT The manner by which community roads are been excavated without concerted efforts to seal them up properly, has indeed become a worrisome phenomenon. The irony is the fact that requisite government agencies and community leaders/youths are apparently indifferent to this phenomenon; especially in this era whereby communities across Nigeria are groaning over the general lack of basic amenities, dilapidated infrastructures, poor social welfare, endemic corruption, leadership crisis, political instability, insecurity and hopelessness. It is based on the obvious human and economic consequences of this trend that we set out to investigate such incidence in Ekpoma –a semi urban town in Edo State, Nigeria, known for her characteristic good road network. An on-the-spot assessment of the roads was conducted and our findings revealed that many roads in Ekpoma town have been excavated and left at the mercy of natural forces without tangible effort to seal them up properly. It is our recommendation therefore, that relevant government agencies/community leaders should be alive to their responsibilities, while perpetrators are encouraged to do the needful when the need for road excavation arises. Like the saying goes, a bird at hand is worth millions in the air and a stitch in time saves nine. -
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.
