BBB Naanen* and Ezionyinye Ebere Ukegbu
CHANGES AND CONTINUITIES IN THE INTERGROUP RELATIONS AMONG THE PEOPLE OF THE IMO RIVER BASIN UP TO 1970 B.B.B Naanen* and Ezionyinye Ebere Ukegbu** Abstract From the earliest times, there existed harmonious intergroup relations among the people of the Imo River Basin. This cordiality continued until the early 1970s when the exigencies of the civil war and the bequeathed colonial structure sowed the seed of discord among the people of this region. This paper submits that the interjection of colonialism and the civil war disrupted the good neighbourliness that existed in the Imo River Basin. The study attempts to examine factors that once united the region that made it strong and cohesive in pre-colonial time. Such factors include common ancestry, language similarities, intermarriages, trade etc. It is believed that a consolidation of the ties that once bound this region would engender positive development and make them relevant in the present political dispensation. The methodology employed in this work is basically analysis of extant literature and oral tradition. The findings of this research points to the urgent need for the people of this region to redefine their philosophy and consolidate their region as this would make them compete favourably with their counterparts in the north and west. *Professor B.B.B.

Pre-Colonial Transport Systems: a Veritable Instrument for Inter-Group Relations Amongst Owerri Igbo Communities in Nigeria and Their Neighbours
PRE-COLONIAL TRANSPORT SYSTEMS: A VERITABLE INSTRUMENT FOR INTER-GROUP RELATIONS AMONGST OWERRI IGBO COMMUNITIES IN NIGERIA AND THEIR NEIGHBOURS NKWOCHA, ANTHONY, E. E- mail: [email protected] & DIBIA, JOSEPH A. Lecturer, Department of History/Int‟l Studies A.I.F.C.E Owerri Abstract This paper argues that bush paths and navigable rivers, streams as well as creeks served as transport routes that linked the forest region of Owerri Igbo with their neighbouring communities. It thinks that pre- colonial transport systems, due to its commercial and strategic importance, were extensively used by farmers and traders, who participated actively in both internal and long distance commerce. This paper submits that, pre-colonial transport systems such as human porterage on land and dug-out canoe on water promoted intra and inter group relations amongst Owerri-Igbo communities and their neighbours, by enhancing regional specialization across spectra of occupational pursuits as farmers, traders, blacksmiths, diviners and traditional healers. Keywords: Pre-colonial, Transport systems, Inter-group relations Introduction Transport and communication channel the flow of persons, commodities and ideas between places and over-time and mediate relationship and interactions between individuals and communities (Ukwu, 1980) Right from the ages, man has remained a locomotive animal moving from place to place for exchange of goods and services. The constant phenomenon of scarce human and material resources as well as the indispensable need for the exchange of goods and services has always justified the importance of transportation in human history. The meanings and functions of transportation are many and varied. Transportation according to Wayne (1983:1, is, "an activity that provides for the movement of goods or individuals from one place to another". -
Studies on the Prevalence, Knowledge, and Practices Toward Malaria in Owerri West Local Government Area of Imo State, Nigeria
Studies on the Prevalence, Knowledge, and Practices Toward Malaria in Owerri West Local Government Area of Imo State, Nigeria. Ajero, C.M.U, Ukaga,C.N. , Uzochukwu,U.C and Chigbo,U N Department of Animal and Environmental Biology, Imo State University, P. M. B. 2000, Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria 2348033587707, E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The present study was designed to assess malaria prevalence in cluster households, knowledge, and practices of people towards malaria, as well as the extent of coverage of Government’s distribution of Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets (LLITN) using cluster samples in Owerri West L.G.A. of Imo State Nigeria. Ethical clearance for the study was obtained from the University Research Ethics Committee, Local Government Health authorities as well as from the heads of respective households used in the study. Malaria parasitemia was determined using rapid diagnostic test kit ((ICT COMBO, Core Diagnostic, U.K). Other data was collected using pre- tested questionnaires from the adults in each household sampled. Analysis of 16 household clusters revealed 25.7% prevalence of malaria. More males (27.5%) than females (24.3%) subjects investigated had malaria infection. Teenagers (10-19yrs) had the highest malaria prevalence rate and were followed by Children aged 0-9years. A significantly higher percentage (79.8%; p<0.05) of the households knew that mosquito bites transmit malaria. Other factors linked to malaria included drinking of dirty water (12.4%) and eating too much oil (8.9%). Fifty-eight percent of the households knew that insecticide treated nets can be used to prevent mosquito bite, while 3.4% of them reported to use such nets. -

International Journal of Advanced Studies in Business Strategies and Management | IJASBSM ISSN Print: 2354-4236 | ISSN Online: 2354-4244 Volume 6, Number 1, August, 2018 A Template for the Rural Development of Imo State of Nigeria Damian Mbaegbu Department of Business Administration, Igbinedion University, Okada A b s t r a c t he Research Problem that necessitated the prosecution of this study was the lop-sided development of the state. The rural areas of Imo State of Nigeria Thave been criminally excluded from the states developmental programmes since 1976 when the state was created. The consequence of the exclusive development is a consistent Rural-Urban migration of population with concomitant socio-economic problems such as excessive pressure on social amenities and infrastructure, armed robbery, kidnapping for ransom, prostitution and so on. The Research Objective, therefore, was to nd out if the marginalization and exclusiveness of the rural population was due to lack of funds or due to some other extraneous variable such as corruption in high places so that a solution can be prescribed. In terms of Methodology the paper is a theoretical paper based on the normative and prescriptive dimensions of theory. Although no rural development theory is the “one best way” this paper leans heavily on the Integrated Rural Development (IRD) model. It made use of Documentary Content Analysis, specically of the Gujarat, Indian Model and Kwaku Opon Tutu's Approaches to Sustainable Poverty Reduction in Ghana. In applying the Kingsbury et al analysis of levels of poverty the paper came out with the following ndings. The rural areas of Imo State have all the levels of poverty below the poverty line due to exclusion from developmental programme, not because of lack of funds but because of criminal diversion of funds meant for rural development by the various State Governments. -

Journal of Agriculture and Social Research (JASR) Vol. 16, No. 2, 2016 DETERMINANTS OF SAVINGS AMONG SMALL-SCALE FOOD CROP FARMERS IN OWERRI WEST LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA OF IMO STATE, NIGERIA 1UHUEGBULEM, I.J., 2HENRI-UKOHA, A., 3OSUJI, M.N., 4UKOHA, I.I., 5OSHAJI, I.O 1Department of Agricultural Economics, Federal University of Technology, Owerri 2Department of Agricultural Economics & Extension, University of Port Harcourt, *Corresponding author’s Email: [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT The study on the Determinants of savings among small scale farmers was conducted in Owerri West Local Government Area of Imo State. A multi-stage random sampling technique was used to select 110 small scale farmers. Data were analyzed with the use of descriptive statistics and the multiple linear regression analysis. The study showed that the mean age of farmers in the study area was 47.7years and that majority (78%) of the farmers were married with mean household size of 6 persons. Majority (45.4%) of the farmers had attained primary education and had mean farm sizes of 1.57 hectares. The result of the multiple regression analysis showed that farm size and income had a significant positive influence on the farmers volume of savings while, household size and distance to financial institutions had a significant negative influence on the farmers volume of savings. The main constraints to the small scale farmer’s inability to save are inadequate income, lack of access to credit facilities and delays and congestion in bank halls. The study recommended that Government, stakeholders and policy makers should provide incentives in the form of short and medium term loans to enhance the productivity and income levels of the small scale food crop farmers. -
