Abstract:

Agriculture remains the main stay and occupation of the Ogbaku people since ages. However, from the beginning it has been subsistence and faced many risks and vulnerability; which has led to the extinction of the indigenous yam crop. The objective of this study therefore is to examine the causes and consequences of the extinction of indigenous yam crop in Ogbaku land in Imo State of South-Eastern Nigeria. Over time and space and due to technological gap between developed and developing countries, traditionalism and modernization, the community has failed to develop rapid expansion and producti

Potential toxic elements in sediments and water are harmful to humans and other organisms even at low concentration. Therefore, the objective of this paper was employed to evaluate the concentrations and contamination factors of potential toxic elements (PTE) in sediments of selected areas in Egi communities (Obagi, Oboburu and Ogbogu) in Ogba/Egbema/Ndoni LGA of Rivers State, Nigeria using AAS (GBC XplorAA) after mixed-acid wet digestion of the sediment. The result of the levels of PTEs reveals that the highest mean were iron (6983±123 mg/Kg), manganese (19.42±6.87 mg/Kg), zinc (11.73±2.10 mg

Abstract:

This performance study is situated within the twentieth century and into the present, a period characterized by a number of sociohistorical developments. This epoch, as noted by Oyewumi (2004:1), “witnessed a host of social and cultural transformations.” During this period, gender appeared as one of the determining factors for categorizing and analysing societies. Given that gender is fundamentally a sociocultural construct, its discursive formations through the performance of égwú àmàlà are peculiar to the Ogbaru people. Égwú àmàlà is a women's dance genre that employs music, dance, and drama

Composition and performance are interwoven in Ogba funeral song. This means that there is performance when the funeral songs are composed. Composition can be oral production while performance is a reproduction and dissemination. The artistic productivity of the artist is exposed at the pre-performance and insitu composition (new creation) stages. Scholars such as Malinowski and Bascom pursue the interest in social context with regard to the physical and cultural circumstances in which tales and songs are performed.

Abstract:

In Ogba culture, most properties are held as a common estate. Though, by dint of hard work, individuals and groups may acquire personal property through purchase or bequest. Among the people, there is a distinction between mine, ours and theirs. Similarly, there is a strict distinction in explaining concepts such as for me, for them and for us. On this premise, individuals, groups and the wider society feel morally bound and might be ready to go to any length to protect what is theirs. This paper examines the Ogba concept of restructuring and resource control. The study identifies and explains

Abstract:

Some of the more influential research on race and education published in the last few decades comes from the work of John Ogbu and Signithia Fordham (Fordham 1988; Fordham and Ogbu, 1986; Ogbu 1978, 1987, 1991, 2003). In Ogbu's writing about the oppositional culture hypothesis, he argued that Black students frame their relationship to schooling through the lens of their historic marginalization in the United States. Out of their understanding of their systematic disenfranchisement, Ogbu suggested that “they not only generate theories [that] contradict dominant notions of status attainment and

This study examined the perception of teachers on the counter-influence of spanking on students’ behaviours in public secondary schools in Ogbaru Local Government Area of Anambra State, Nigeria. Two research questions guided the study. The study adopted the descriptive survey design. The population of the study comprised 288 teachers. A sample size of 45 teachers was drawn using simple random sampling technique. Researchers’ developed instrument titled “Teachers’ Perception on the Counter influence of Spanking on Students’ Behaviour Questionnaire (TPCISSBQ)” which was validated by five experts

This research work was carried out to evaluate the quality of water from two spring sources in Amurri Community in Enugu State, Southeastern Nigeria. Water samples were obtained from Umu and Ogba springs in dry and rainy seasons, and analysis carried out to estimate physico-chemical and bacteriological indices using standard procedures. Analytical results for both seasons indicated that values for pH, total hardness and total dissolved solids were within World Health Organization (WHO) limits and Nigerian Standard for Drinking Water Quality (NSDWQ) recommendations.

The dyke is about 40 cm wide and traceable for some meters along strike. It has a discordant contact relationship that is pencil sharp with the host pelitic gneiss and lack any internal fabric. The mineral assemblage includes: garnet +biotite + plagioclase + quartz + orthopyroxene + K-feldspar + ilmenite, with apatite occurring as an accessory mineral.

The various requisite controls to checkmate failures on Nigerian roads were also discussed. The type of failures observed on the road are depressions of diverse dimensions, disintegration, blow-up, sub-grade intrusion, pot-holes, surface stripping, cracking and sliding resulting from anomalous stress distribution due to excessive loading. Particle size analysis, Atterberg limits, compaction and C.B.R. tests were carried out on soil samples collected from road cu

Honey samples from three different ecozones - coastal freshwater (Ogba), lowland rainforest (Oka-Akoko) and montane Sudan savanna (Mambilla plateau) – were subjected to melissopalynological, proximate and elemental analyses, as well as antimicrobial studies. The aim of the research was to determine the contribution of pollen, if any, in the antimicrobial activities of the studied honey samples. Standard preparation methods were adopted for these studies. The Mambilla honey recorded the highest pollen diversity, while that of Oka-Akoko and Ogba regions had similar diversity, both having lower v

We comment on the importance of the novel tablet-based screening tool for cognitive decline recently studied in Nigeria by Ogbuagu et al. TabCAT-BHA was administered on an iPad in urban and rural settings and was found to be a sensitive and culturally appropriate tool for assessing cognitive function and impairment. With accuracy, portability, speed, and ease of use, this study shows that such tests, computerized or online, have the potential to improve the screening of cognitive decline in diverse countries such as Nigeria, to facilitate early treatment and improved care and quality of life.
