  • COLONIALISM, URBANISATION and the GROWTH of ONITSHA, 1857-1960 *Mmesoma N
    COLONIALISM, URBANISATION AND THE GROWTH OF ONITSHA, 1857-1960 *Mmesoma N. Umeagudosi and Amarachi C. Obidiaju Abstract There is no gainsaying that colonialism changed the patterns of urbanisation in Africa. What this means is that there were existing patterns of urbanisation in most African communities before colonial incursions and these have inspired scholarly researches of various depth and volumes. Considering an identified problem in African historiography, which tends to give minimal attention to the exigencies that led to changes in patterns of urbanisation in particular African communities, this paper adopts the historical research method, with effective use of primary, secondary and tertiary sources of data that were subjected to qualitative interpretation, to document and analyse the processes of urbanisation in Africa since colonial incursion, with the commercial city of Onitsha as a study area. The study observes that urbanisation in Onitsha was not necessarily an impact of colonialism. Instead, the colonial administration only effected changes on the pattern of urbanisation in the city. Such changes were precipitated by the colonial economic policies, which among other things, used the inland waterways as effective transport facility for primary produce extracted from the various produce centres around the Niger River. However, other factors of change encouraged rapid urbanisation of Onitsha during colonialism in Nigeria. A conspicuous factor is colonial administrative measures, which saw to the establishment of Onitsha

  • The Odo Masquerade Institution and Tourism Development: a Case Study of Igbo- Etiti Local Government Area of Enugu State
    International Journal of Research in Arts and Social Sciences Vol 3 The Odo Masquerade Institution And Tourism Development: A Case Study Of Igbo- Etiti Local Government Area Of Enugu State E. I. Itanyi Abstract Generally speaking “Odo” popularly known and addressed as “Odomagala” or “Ekewo” in some towns like Ukehe, Aku, Diogbe, Umunko, Ohebe, Umuna, Ochima, Ikolo, Umuoka, Onyohor, and Udueme communities that make up the “Igbo-Odo” sector of Igbo- Etiti Local Government Area, simply means the ancestral spirit of their forefathers that usually visit them once every two years. The activities of the Odo masquerade such as the worshiping, returning from and going back to the land of the spirit and outing ceremonies associated with the Odo and the Odo leaders (Dikwu or Akpara Odo or Ekewo) is seen as a cult or an institution. Odo masquerade plays both cultural, tourism and religious roles. The Odo is worshipped and people confess their sins and beg for forgiveness and longevity from the masquerade. On Odo and tourism, the outing ceremony of the Odo is displayed in public places usually the town‟s public square „Otobo‟ where every body both indigenes and non indigenes would gather and even photographs of the masquerade taken either freely or on the payment of a token fee. By so doing, it enhances the economy of the people of the destination area through income- multiplier principle. African culture is embedded in oral tradition passed on from one generation to the other. The chief priests of the Odo masquerade play vital role in this aspect. It is our contention here that the institution should be harnessed and conserved for posterity as it is an important aspect of our cultural patrimony.

A total of six hundred and twenty samples were collected from the pupils which include 310 urine samples and 310 stool samples. Out of the 310 urine samples examined, 139 (44.84%) were infected with urinary schistosomiasis, while out of 310 stool samples examined, 119 (38.39%) were infected with intestinal schistosomiasis. By carrying out the statistical analysis, it was found that urinary schistosomiasis is significantly higher at (p<0.05) than intestinal schistosomiasis. Children between 12-14 years were the most infected with both urinary and intestinal schistosomiasis with prevalence of 45 (14.84%) and 48 (15.48%), respectively, while children between 3-5 years were the least infected with both urinary and intestinal schistosomiasis 30 (9.68%) and 25 (8.06%), respectively.

  • Enugu State, Nigeria Out-Of-School Children Survey Report
    ENUGU STATE, NIGERIA OUT-OF-SCHOOLCHILDREN SURVEY REPORT October, 2014 PREFACE The challenge of school-aged children who for one reason or another did not enrol in school at all or enrolled and later dropped out for whatever reason has been a perennial challenge to education the world over. Nigeria alone is said to house over 10 million out of school children. This is in spite of the universal basic education programme which has been running in the country since 1999. For Enugu State, it is not clear what the state contributes to that national pool of children who are reported to be out of school. Given the effort of the State Government in implementing the universal basic education programme, it is easy to assume that all children in Enugu State are enrolled and are attending school. This kind of assumption might not give us the benefit of knowing the true state of things as they relate to out-of-school children in our State. This is even more so given the State’s development and approval of the Inclusive Education Policy, which has increased the challenge of ensuring that every child of school age, no matter his or her circumstance of birth or residence, has access to quality education; hence, the need to be concerned even for only one child that is out of school. It is, therefore, in a bid to ascertain the prevalence of the incidence of children who are outside the school system, whether public or private, that the Ministry of Education and Enugu State Universal Basic Education Board collaborated with DFID-ESSPIN and other stakeholders to conduct the out of school children’s survey.

  • The Influence of Vegetation on Microclimate in Hot Humid Tropical Environment: a Case of Enugu Urban
    International Journal of Energy and Environmental Research Vol.2,No.4,pp.1-11, December 2014 Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) THE INFLUENCE OF VEGETATION ON MICROCLIMATE IN HOT HUMID TROPICAL ENVIRONMENT: A CASE OF ENUGU URBAN. By Arc. Nich .I. OBI, Assoc. Prof. I.G Chendo Department of Architecture, University of Nigeria, Enugu Campus (UNEC). ABSTRACT: Controlling direct solar radiation and increasing wind velocity to its Optimum capacity are part of planning strategies employed in the design of urban open spaces especially in hot humid tropical environment. Vegetation has the ability to reduce excessive air temperature through sunlight interception. Its geometric configuration influences the amount of solar radiation, air temperature, humidity and wind velocity on microclimate of a given area. Panning strategies aimed at reducing solar heat through application of vegetation were discussed. It also discussed the problem of thermal heat stress affecting the residents of Enugu Urban. The results were analyzed and solutions recommended. KEYWORDS: Open Space; Planning Strategies; Solar Radiation; Tropical Environment; Urban Microclimate. INTRODUCTION According to United Nations (2010), World Bank, (2009), more than half of the world’s population lives in the urban areas. Urbanization trend poses new millennium challenges in both industrialized and developing countries. One of these challenges is thermal heat stress resulting from climate change. The hot humid tropical environment of Enugu is characterized with high intensity of solar radiation and low wind velocity during the hot season. The rapid development activities taking place within the past decade will in no doubt lead to urban heat island effect and plant destruction among other environmental damages.

Father Vincent NWOSU ABSTRACT Recent studies in African church historiography have increasingly shown that the generally acknowledged successful planting of Christian Churches in parts of Africa, especially the East and West, from the nineteenth century was not entirely the work of foreign missionaries alone. Africans themselves participated actively in p la n tin g , sustaining and propagating the faith. These Africans can clearly be grouped into two: first, those who were ordained ministers of the church, and secondly, the lay members.
