The traditional proscription against sex for women during pregnancy, and particularly in the postpartum period, in south-west Nigeria leaves many men without sexual access to their wives for extended periods of time. This practice raises the question whether men abstain or seek other sexual partners. A community-based study was conducted using 3204 married men from randomly selected local government areas of the state. These men had wives who had delivered a baby in the 36 months prior to the study. Information was obtained on their sexual practices before and during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Male sexual networking was not absent outside the pregnancy and the postpartum periods. However, during pregnancy, a higher percentage of men (43·7%) had other partners compared with the period outside pregnancy and postpartum (42·1%). The difference was not significant (p>0·05). Similarly, in the postpartum abstinence period, more men (48%) had other sexual partners when compared with the period outside pregnancy and postpartum (42·1%; p<0·001). Sexual networking with non-regular and multiple partners was also more commonly observed in the postpartum period than in pregnancy (11·9% vs 10·4%; p<0·05). Significantly more rural than urban men had multiple sexual partners when their wife was pregnant (p=0·01) or in postpartum abstinence (p<0·05). Condom use with regular partners was largely absent, and consistent condom use with extramarital partners was very low among urban and rural men (6·3% vs 1·7%). The vast majority of men were having unprotected vaginal sex. Logistic regression analysis showed that polygamous men, those under 30 years in the urban area, and men with low or no education were more likely to have sex with other women when their wife was pregnant. During a wife’s postpartum abstinence period, men in higher status occupations, younger urban men (<49 years), those with more children, the polygamous, and men with a first wife under 40 years in urban area were more likely to have other partners. In light of the heterosexual mode of HIV transmission in Nigeria, there is a dire need to design and implement an intervention programme targeted at married men, which takes into consideration cultural practices. This will hopefully help check the course of the disease in a country thought to be on the verge of an HIV epidemic.

Abstract The key to increasing agricultural output in developing countries is improving the productivity of farmers, which cannot be achieved without markets that would effectively bind the increasingly specialized activities of thousands of widely dispersed producers into an integrated national economy. Although, there is a high potential for rural farmers to derive livelihood from market-oriented agriculture and improve their standard of living, but what are those factors determining farmers’ market participation. Thus, this study investigates the determinants of market participation among maize farmers in Ogbomoso zone of Oyo state, Nigeria. A simple random sampling technique was used in the selection of respondents and a well-structured questionnaire was used to gather information on socio-economic attributes and market participation among maize farmers in Ogbomoso, Oyo State. Eighty questionnaire were administered, but 79 retrieved were subjected to analysis. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and probit regression. The results show that majority of the farmers were male (70.9%), married (67.1%) and had a minimum of secondary education (74.7%) and above. Also, 70% had direct access and planted improved maize seed and 58% sold maize produced in the urban market. Probit model result shows that gender, age, marital status, household size, farming experience, educational level and membership of association/group are the major determinants influencing market participation in the study area. The study recommends that government should encourage formation of associations/groups, where farmers can get information about market situations and formulate policies on adult literacy programme to encourage farmers to participate more in market.

This study examines the consumer’s perception of white meat among household in Ibadan north local government area of Oyo state, Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling was used through questionnaire to gather information from 110 respondents used as a sample size for the study. Data were analyzed through the use of descriptive statistics tools such as frequency and percentage, while inferential statistics such as chi-square and PPMC were used for the hypotheses. The result of the study revealed that majority (63.6%) of the respondents were married, also in their active age (93.2%) and engaged in trading and civil service work as their primary occupation. Also, majority (55.5%) had up to secondary education and tertiary school level with household size 1-5.The result further revealed that 52.4% of the respondents had unfavourable perception of white meat consumption while 47.6% had favourable perception. Also, better cholesterol content (53.6%) and reduced health risk (51.8%) were some of the perceived benefits of white meat considered by respondents. Constraints such as high cost of white meat (99%) and low income (88%) were considered as major constraints to white meat consumption. Chi-square analysis revealed that marital status(X2=18.693, P=0.028), education(X2=17.753, P=0.038) and primary occupation(X2=18.266, P=0.032) of respondents were found to have significant relationship with their perception of white meat consumption at 0.05 level. Also, PPMC analysis showed that there was relationship between perceived benefits and perception for white meat at 0.05 level of significant. The study, therefore, recommends that the enlightenment programmes on nutritional benefit of white meat consumption should be promoted for consumers to have right perception.

Full textAbstract:
Dogs harbour a wide array of parasites and have been implicated in the transmission of zoonotic diseases to humans. In a community-based cross-sectional study, 292 dogs and 241 dog owners were examined for parasites in urban and rural communities of Egbeda Local Government Area, Oyo State, Nigeria. A questionnaire was used to obtain socio-demographic information of dog owners and identify possible risk factors. Ectoparasites were collected from dog fur and preserved in 70% alcohol before identification. Freshly passed stools from dogs and their owners were collected and examined for intestinal parasites by modified sucrose floatation technique. Ectoparasites were present on 199 (68.2%) dogs, while 239 (81.8%) had intestinal parasites. Six ectoparasite species identified were Ctenocephalides canis (5.5%), C. felis (39.7%), Rhipicephalus sanguineus (51.3%), Haemaphysalis leachii (48.9), Trichodectes canis (2.1%) and Linognathus spp (1.7%). Gastrointestinal parasites identified in dogs wereToxocara canis (55.8%), Ascaris spp (36%), Ancylostoma spp (40.1%), Trichuris spp (7.5%), Isospora spp (14.4%) and Toxascaris leonina (15.1%). Prevalence of gastrointestinal as well as ectoparasites were higher in rural communities with more mongrels infected compared to exotic breeds (p < 0.001). Ascaris lumbricoides, Ancyclostoma spp and Trichuris spp were identified in 99 (41.1%) of the dog owners. There was a significant relationship (r=0.36, p < 0.001) between the prevalence of infection in dogs and their owners. Most (75%) of the dog owners were aware only of the possibility of contracting rabies but not other zoonotic parasitic infections from their dogs. The high prevalence of gastrointestinal and ectoparasites of dogs in these communities suggests a very high risk of parasite transmission among dogs, their owners and other inhabitants of the community. The need for intervention programs including regular anti-parasitic treatment of dogs and health education which emphasizes the dangers of zoonotic infections in these communities is imperative.

Full textAbstract:
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) have been documented as a primarily urban phenomenon in Nigeria. The risk of spread to rural communities, where the largest portion of the population still lives, exists. This article presents a qualitative research study that was designed to explore sexual practices in a rural Nigerian community that held potential risk for introducing HIV into the community and for enabling HIV transmission should an infected person enters local sexual networks, in the small town of Ago-Are, Oyo State. Seven key informant interviews, in-depth interviews and observations with five commercial sex workers (CSWs), and focus group discussions (FGD) with married and single male and female residents were held. CSWs were found to be the most likely route whereby HIV could enter the community, both because of their own mobility, being resident in the community on average only nine months, and because of the mobility of their main clients, migrant farm laborers and commercial drivers. This did not preclude local patronage, which was more discrete. Another possible point of entry for HIV was through casual sexual relations during ceremonies, holidays and festivals, when towns' people working in the large urban centers came home. Within the community, extramarital sexual relations were posited as a likely route for spread within the community. The continued existence of a taboo against sexual intercourse while a mother is breastfeeding, frequent informal divorces and a tendency toward polygamy were identified by FGD members as factors that encourage extra-marital sex. The strong role that social and religious associations play in the community was identified as an ideal mechanism for health education to prevent HIV/AIDS.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The burden of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is assuming an epidemic proportion globally, causing grave hepatic and other complications. Mother-to-child transmission is one of the main ways of acquiring the disease. It is thus incumbent on researchers to delve more into the epidemiology of HBV. The objectives of this study is to assess respondents’ knowledge on HBV, estimated the burden of the disease among pregnant women attending antennal clinics in Ogbomoso, Nigeria and identified significant determinants of HBV positive status of the participants.Methods: This facility-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 168 pregnant women recruited using systematic random technique. Pretested interviewer-administered, semi-structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were carried out.Results: Mean age of the respondents was 34±10 years, 90.5% of the respondents were 20-40 years old. HBV awareness level among the respondents was 51.8% and more than half (59.5%) of them possessed poor knowledge of the virus. Twelve percent (12.0%) of the respondents were seropositive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). Significant determinants of HBsAg positivity were; Level of education (AOR=0.11, CI=1.56-3.47), Socio-economic class (AOR=3.23, CI=1.48-3.02) and family type (AOR=4.51, CI=0.19-0.35).Conclusions: The burden of HBV was high among pregnant women in the study population. Awareness and knowledge of the respondent was low. Authors recommend aggressive awareness campaigns on the disease. Improving the socio-economic conditions of women will go a long way in reducing the scourge of this dreadful disease in Nigeria.

<p>Against the backdrop evidenced in the substantial wastage, deterioration in quality, and frequent mismatch between demand and supply of vegetables spatially and overtime; this study examined the efficiency of vegetable marketing in Ifo and Ado-Odo L.G.As of Ogun State, Nigeria. Primary data were employed for the study. Data were collected from 120 respondents with the aid of structured questionnaire using multistage sampling procedure. Analytical tools used included, Descriptive statistics, budgetary and marketing efficiency analyses. The study revealed that women (78.3%) were the major players in the enterprise and most had basic education with majority having business experience of more than five years. However, they relied on their personal savings to run their enterprise. Indigenous vegetable marketing was found to be profitable and efficient as indicated by the positive net margin of N29,180.05. As an indication of the profit maximization motive of the marketers, various marketing efficiency scores were computed for the selected indigenous vegetables. The scores are 10.85%, 3.88%, 5.27%, 2.54%, 5.32%, and 2.46% for ugu, tomato, okra, amaranthus, celocia and chocorus, respectively. It is recommended that extension trainings on preservation of indigenous vegetables should be conducted and accessible funds should be made available to these marketers, to forestall the problem of spoilage and lack of funds, as these constituted major drawbacks on marketing efficiency in the study areas.</p>

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated factors determining the willingness to adopt grasscutter domestication technology in South west, Nigeria. Multi-stage sampling procedure was used to select 160 respondents from 9 urban towns in Oyo, Ogun and Osun States. Well-structured questionnaire was used for data collection. Data was analysed using descriptive analysis, correlational analysis and t-test. Results showed that the majority (69.4%) of the respondents were male and married. Coefficient correlation (r value) at (p< 0.05), shows that there is a significant association between respondents’ educational status, religion, household size, primary as well as secondary education with respondents’ willingness to adopt the technology. There was also found significant relationship between, perceived health status of those who are into the grasscutter technology, perceived nutritional value and economic value of the grasscutter domestication technology with the willingness to adopt the grasscutter domestication technology. The result if the T-test revealed that there is significant relationship between perceived ease of practice and willingness to adopt the technology. The majority of the respondents are willing to rear grasscutter if variables like space, fund, availability of ready-made buyer and feed, breeding stock and training are put into place. However, issues relating to having enough plots of land, funding, ready-made buyer of grasscutter, and training facilities are most germane. It is therefore recommended that funding and training on the adoption of the grasscutter domestication technology should be made available to individuals.

PURPOSE Prevalence of cervical cancer remains high in sub-Saharan Africa, including Nigeria. Literature has documented knowledge of cervical cancer as important in promoting the adoption of preventive strategies, including screening, but most research has focused on women and health organization settings. This study assessed knowledge and screening practices of cervical cancer among male and female adults in urban poor communities in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria. METHODS A cross-sectional study was carried out in two urban poor community settings in Ibadan. Data were collected from 250 randomly selected consenting respondents in each of the two communities (N = 500). Data were collected with an electronic device using the electronic data capture tool (Open Data Kit) database. Descriptive statistics were summarized using frequencies and percentages for categorical variables, and mean and standard deviation were used for continuous variables. Knowledge was scored on a scale of 0 to 39 points (0 to 18, low knowledge; 19 to 23, fair knowledge; 24 to 39, high knowledge). Associations between variables were tested using χ2. RESULTS Mean age of respondents was 35.36 years (± 12.24). The majority of respondents were female (70.6%), and more than half (52.6%) had completed secondary school education. The majority had never heard of the Papanicolaou test (93.6%) or cervical cancer screening (91.2%), and only 10% had ever heard of the human papillomavirus vaccine for the prevention of cervical cancer. The majority had low knowledge of cervical cancer (77.2%); knowledge included detection, symptoms, and risk factors for cervical cancer. Only 7.4% of females had ever heard of the Papanicolaou test, and few women (4%) had ever been screened for cervical cancer using the Papanicolaou test. Only one woman (0.2%) had been screened for cervical cancer using visual inspection with acetic acid, and four (0.8%) had ever taken human papillomavirus vaccine for protection against cervical cancer. There was a significant association between knowledge of cervical cancer and employment status of respondents (χ2 = 11.19; P < .05). CONCLUSION Health promotion interventions and strategies for awareness creation about cervical cancer and screening practices should be used in alleviating low knowledge and screening practices in urban poor communities.

This research examined the reasons for the differences in the academic performance of school learners, and makes reference to economic, social and cultural capital theory in explaining educational imbalances in society.
Many researchers have conducted studies on the factors contributing to the academic performance of learners at various levels of schooling have been undertaken. These researchers have come to the conclusion that the academic performance of learners is affected by numerous factors, namely, gender, age, learners' schooling, family’s socio-economic status, residential area of learners, the medium of instruction in schools, tuition trends, hours spent on studying on a daily basis and accommodation in hostels (Petersen, 2010:15). There is a popular saying in south-western Nigeria, that “if the parents’ financial status is good, the reflection of it will show in the child”. This study is focused on the academic performance of learners at the secondary school level and investigates the influence of economic, social and cultural capital on their academic performance.
This study aims to determine which factors contribute to the poor academic performance of rural secondary school learners in south-western Nigeria and then, based on the findings of the research undertaken to make recommendations regarding what could be done to improve the academic performance of these learners.
The mixed-methods approach of combining both qualitative and quantitative approaches to accomplish the aims of the research were used. The population consisted of four secondary schools, four school principals, 16 teachers, 40 parents and 120 learners.
According to the results of this research, we can see that the social, cultural and economic capital of parents is a powerful determinant with regard to motivating their children’s education.Educational Studies

Education plays prominent role in the development of nations considering that the progress of
nations depends on the capability of its workforce which is informed by the quality of education
offered its citizenry. Program for international students‟ assessment revealed the need to improve
upon the quality of education across nations. This need was corroborated by the unimpressive
performance of the secondary schools learners in Egbeda local Government of Oyo State.
Ironically, secondary schools management in the local government have been found to have very
little discretionary powers in the administration of their schools – a situation that could have
contributed to the poor performance of the learners. The study thus focussed on the effect of
school autonomy on learners‟ performance in Egbeda Local Government secondary schools of
Oyo State, Nigeria.
Cross-sectional survey research design was adopted for the study. The population comprised 72
Principals, 158 Vice Principals and 125 Heads of Departments from the 72 schools covered by
the study. Thirty schools were excluded from the study for not meeting selection criteria of ten
years of establishment. Sample size of 355 was purposively selected for the study. Response rate
was 97.7%. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics.
Findings revealed that school autonomy dimensions have statistically significant effect on
learners‟ work quality (F5, 341 = 221.357, Adj. R2 = 0.761, p < 0.05); school autonomy
dimensions have statistically significant effect on learners‟ affective performance (F5, 341 =
66.085, Adj. R2 = 0.492, p < 0.05); school autonomy dimensions have statistically significant
effect on learners‟ character formation (F5, 341 = 553.982, Adj. R2 = 0.889, p < 0.05); school
autonomy dimensions have statistically significant effect on learners‟ personal development (F5,
341 = 104.177, Adj. R2 = 0.599, p < 0.05); school autonomy dimensions have statistically
significant effect on learners‟ social development (F5, 341 = 45.928, Adj. R2 = 0.394, p < 0.05).
The study concluded that school autonomy affected learners‟ performance. The study
recommended that education authorities should make policy provisions that will enhance school
autonomy in both private and public secondary schools in the Egbeda Local Government of Oyo
State to improve learners‟ performance.Educational Management and Leadership

Full textAbstract:
Many Christian faith-based preschools in the Oyo State of Nigeria are realising that
spiritual development is an essential part of young children’s natural growth and should
be given due attention. Accordingly, activities at preschools should be geared to support
young children’s spiritual development. In conjunction with the administrators, the preschool
teachers at Christian faith-based schools are charged with the responsibility of
attending to the spiritual development of young children in their care. This research
study examined factors affecting the spiritual development of young children in the Oyo
State of Nigeria by employing a qualitative method with phenomenological research
design. The research highlighted realities via developmental theories regarding the
spiritual development of young children; government’s stand on the spiritual
development of young children; how spiritual development of young children is
facilitated in an early childhood setting; the benefits of spiritual development during early
childhood; and the implications of spiritual development for practice in the Oyo State of
Nigeria. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, observation of
practices and document analyses of the records of four preschools. All were
purposefully selected, including the twenty teachers and four administrators. The results
of the research revealed that all the pre-school teachers who showed interest in
fostering spirituality in young children should gain experience, understanding and
training in best practices. It was also found that although the Nigerian government has
policies and curricula for early childhood education (ECE), these do not include
spirituality or faith-based teaching. Further, to exacerbate the situation, the government
does not monitor and evaluate the implementation of policies and ECE curricula. This
study discovered that preschool teachers have a general understanding of how to
enhance the spiritual development of young children by drawing on their own (i.e. the
preschool teachers’) personal spiritual development processes, which should be
complemented by formal training. The benefits of spiritual development in young
children include the inculcation of sound moral values, feelings of joy, academic
excellence, unity and development in the community, the development of committed
future leaders and the promotion of national peace. The research study recommends
that the government of Nigeria intervene in early childhood education by providing financial support and formal training for preschool teachers in the area of spiritual
development of young children and by motivating administrators and preschool teachers
to be more cooperative and creative in including spiritual development in their school’s
curriculum.Early Childhood Education

Abstract in English, Afrikaans and ZuluThis study explored how location and gender influence the performance of students in Physics in Akure South Local Government, Ondo State, Nigeria. The sample consisted of four schools randomly selected from the co-educational schools in the public schools. Data were collected through interviews, classroom observation, focus group interviews of the students and documents obtained from the school principals on students’ academic performance in the West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE) from 2011-2015. The validity and the reliability of all these instruments were established. The data obtained through interviews were interpreted qualitatively. The documents obtained from the selected schools were also analyzed. The results of the study revealed that the urban students perform better in Physics than the rural students. The study also revealed that the gender of the students affects their performance in Physics with male students performing better than female students. Frantic efforts should be made to ensure conducive learning environment and equivalent learning opportunities to both male and female students.
Hierdie studie ondersoek hoe plek en geslag die prestasie van studente in Fisika in die Akure Suid-plaaslike regering, Ondo-staat, Nigerië, beïnvloed. Die steekproef het bestaan uit vier skole wat lukraak gekies is uit die mede-opvoedkundige skole in die openbare skole. Data is ingesamel deur onderhoude, klaskamerwaarnemings, fokusgroeponderhoude van die studente en dokumente wat van die skoolhoofde verkry is oor studente se akademiese prestasie in die Wes-Afrikaanse Senior Sekondêre Sertifikaat-eksamen (WASSCE) vanaf 2011-2015. Die geldigheid en betroubaarheid van al hierdie instrumente is vasgestel. Die data wat deur onderhoude verkry is, is kwalitatief geïnterpreteer. Die dokumente wat van die geselekteerde skole verkry is, is ook ontleed. Die resultate van die studie het getoon dat die stedelike studente beter in Fisika verrig as die landelike studente. Die studie het ook onthul dat die geslag van die studente hul prestasie in Fisika beïnvloed, met manlike studente wat beter presteer as vroulike studente. Vreemde pogings moet aangewend word om bevorderlike leeromgewing en gelykwaardige leergeleenthede vir beide manlike en vroulike studente te verseker.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractEnvironmental degradation, soil erosion, and desertification are some of the consequences of high rate of traditional biomass fuel use by households in developing countries. The critical issues to raise here are how can these households be encouraged to change their energy consumption behavior? What are the factors that cause the rampant use of biomass fuel in developing countries? How and to what extent can these factors be manipulated so that households in developing countries are encouraged to adopt clean energy fuel an alternative to the most widely used biomass fuel? Therefore, this chapter tries to find answer to the above questions raised, by carrying out an in depth analysis of households’ use of biomass fuel in developing countries using Bauchi State, Nigeria, as the case study. Cluster area sampling technique was utilized to generate the various responses, where a total number of 539 respondents were analyzed. The study estimated ordered logit model to analyze the factors that influence the movement of households along the energy ladder from nonclean energy to the cleaner energy. Furthermore, Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) model was estimated to analyze the impacts of socio-economic, residential, and environmental factors on biomass energy consumption. It was found that age of the household head and his level of education, income, living in urban areas, home ownership, and hours of electricity supply have positive and significant impact on household energy switching from traditional biomass energy use to the cleaner energy. Therefore, policies that will enhance household income and the increase in the availability of cheap cleaner energy will encourage households switching to cleaner energy sources thereby reducing the level of environmental pollution in the study area.

In Developing Sustainable Food Systems, Policies, and Securities, 216–38. IGI Global, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.4018/978-1-7998-2599-9.ch013.
Full textAbstract:
The study examined the impact of rural-urban migration on the food consumption pattern of farming households. The study revealed that 73.8% of the households had migrants, while 80.2% of the migrants were male. The highest level of education of most of the migrants was secondary school (71.4%). The study showed that the major reason (63.3%) for migration was for job. The average remittance sent per year was ₦108,119.14. The study revealed that household expenditure on carbohydrate food group accounted for 54.4% of the total households' expenditure on food. The average dietary diversity indices for the migrant (0.345) and non-migrant (0.346) households were low. The study revealed that migration (short and long term) positively influenced per capita food expenditure of respondent. Despite the remittance from some of the migrants, the need to develop the rural areas in terms of provision of basic infrastructures by government is imperative in order to reduce rural-urban migration.

Full textAbstract:
Despite the rapid and revolutionized development of communication and media around the world in the last few decades, which culminated in the term information communication technology (ICT), most of the developing countries are yet to clearly understand its significance or maximize the use of various forms of ICTs, because of other pressing issues such as access roads, potable drinking water supply, electricity and health facilities. This has greatly caused a wide gap between and within countries in the areas of social, economic, political, health and educational developments. ICTs encompass all the technologies that facilitate the processing, transfer and exchange of information and communication services. Various forms of ICTs exist, such as radio, television, newspaper, telephone, magazine, billboard, Internet, electronic and print media, and so forth. In the past few decades, there has been a significant increase in knowledge of the importance and developmental trends of ICTs worldwide. ICTs are very important in analyzing one’s existing/potential audience using the most cost-effective way to communicate; evaluating the quality of messages; and making provision for information feedback. ICTs bring about various opportunities, ranging from employment and education to economic, health, social and environmental development. As a result of the digital divide between and within countries, there are uneven disparities between the economic, social, educational and political status of the international community. This brings about classification of countries into “developed and developing” or “haves and have nots.” Gender disparity has served as a strong barrier to women’s use of ICTs, considering the fact that women in most developing countries are still considered unequal in status with their male counterparts. This has, thus, reduced enrollment in sciences and technological fields of study. This also is probably as a result of the limited awareness of the full range of opportunities in ICTs other than access to information. To achieve the goal of universal access to ICTs, there is a need to bridge the gap between men’s and women’s access to the use of ICTs. This can be accomplished by making technology accessible, relevant and useful to both women and men. State policies could be made holistic by taking into consideration women’s needs as well as addressing related issues, such as the urban-rural bias, promoting enrollment of girls in ICTs programs and empowering women to use ICTs for profitable ventures.
