Abstract:

Ebi Yeibo’s poem The Forbidden Tongue is a powerful example of how Ijaw proverbs and idioms can be used to explore the cultural and historical experiences of the Ijaw people. The poem makes use of Ijaw proverbs and idioms to convey a strong sense of nostalgia for a lost culture and tradition. By analyzing the parables/ idioms of the poem, we can gain a deeper understanding of the poem’s meaning and significance. The poem also raises important questions about the preservation of the heritage. The title of the work is “The Significance of Ijaw Proverbs and Idioms”. The aim of the work is to expl

Abstract:

Introduction: Petrochemical pollution from oil spills, gas flaring, and effluents containing heavy metals is prevalent in the oil-producing regions of Delta State, Nigeria, posing systemic health risks to humans and animals. The present study assessed the effects of crude oil exploration on laying chickens across 21 poultry farms in seven zones of Delta State, Nigeria. Materials and methods: Blood, egg, and tissue samples (liver and kidney) from 105 layer chickens, comprising 15 chickens from each zone (Aniocha, Ijaw, Ika, Isoko, Itsekiri, Ukwani, and Urhobo), were analyzed for hematological,

Abstract:

Much of the literature on the Niger Delta deals with the Ogoni and Ijaw groups together, as having common lived experiences within a shared geographical location. However, the nature of the leaderships led the two movements to adopt distinct strategies in their struggles against the Nigerian state and multinational oil companies. Successful collective action is often ascribed to effective leadership and to the employment of social identity to drive collective group behaviour.

The findings from the study attest to the similarity of these languages predictably as a result of their shared origin as they both are from the same Niger-Congo language family.

Abstract:

How is the oil extractive industry affecting the livelihoods of women in the Niger Delta? This study explores the nature of the oil extractive industry in Nigeria and its impact on the livelihoods of women. The paper further focuses on the role of civil society in reconciling the interest of the oil industry and local economy of women in the Niger Delta. Relying on primary and secondary data as well as feminist theories, the study examines the case of Ijaw, Ogbia and Ogoni women, who have traditionally relied on fishing and farming as major means of income. The paper argues that women are the

Abstract:

Body Mass Index [BMI] is a measures of adiposity of a person with respect to his or her body weight and height. The comparison of BMI between Gas flaring and Non-gas flaring communities in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area was the aim of this study. Weight and height were measures from 1000 adult volunteered subjects ( 550 male and 450 females) within the ages of 18-45 years from Five [5] gas flaring communities viz; Oporoma, Tebidaba, Ogboinbiri, Peremabiri, Koluama and Five [5] Non-Gas flaring communities such as Ekowe, Nangi-Ama, Anyama, Oweikorogha and Amassoma.

Abstract:

Abstract This paper examines the intergroup relations between the Arogbo Ijaw and their neighbouring communities in the Western Niger Delta of Nigeria, a topic less explored compared to the Central and Eastern Delta groups. It, therefore, delves into the historical, social, economic, and political interactions that shaped the dynamics between these groups. The study reveals the complexities of coexistence, highlighting both cooperation and conflict. Key factors influencing these relations include resource competition, ethnic identity, and political power struggles. The paper also explores the

Abstract:

Background: Though most pregnant women tend to deliver around their expected date of confinement, quite a significant number deliver preterm and postterm. The variation of delivery timing can result from obstetrics complications, genetic or demographic factors. Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the influence of demographic factors of pregnant Ijaw women on gestational age at delivery, like: maternal age, parity, occupation, educational level, gestational age at booking, maternal height, and body mass index, on gestational age at delivery.

Abstract:

The indigenous people of Ijaw in Southern Nigeria are endowed with a deep culture of Traditional birth attendance, and they make use of medicinal plants in their practice to assist in ante- and post-natal cares. It is therefore imperative to document their rich knowledge to avoid its extinction. The work was performed with the aim of identifying and documenting the botanicals employed by the traditional birth attendants in some Ijaw tribes of Bayelsa State.

Abstract:

Methaemoglobin (Met-Hb) is a type of the oxygen-carrying metalloproteinhemoglobin. The heme group iron exists as ferric (Fe3+) iron, rather than the ferrous (Fe2+) iron of typical hemoglobin. Met-Hb is unable to perform the function of binding to oxygen like oxyhaemoglobin does. The aim of this study was to compare methaemoglobin levels between AA and AS haemoglobin variants among the Ijaw, Igbo and Yoruba ethnic groups residing in Bayelsa State, Nigeria. A total of 150 subjects were enrolled for the study. One hundred and sixteen subjects constituted the Ijaws; 21 Igbos and 13 Yorubas. For ea
