Full textAbstract:
The novel SARS-CoV-2, the causative agent of COVID-19, a pandemic of great public health concern. COVID-19 was fi rst reported in Wuhan, China in December, 2019 and declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. The fi rst case of COVID-19 in Nigeria was confi rmed on the 27th of February, 2020 and has since spread to 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, bringing total confi rmed cases in Nigeria to 25,694, 9,746 recoveries and 590 deaths as at 30th June, 2020. This was therefore designed to examine the impact of the lockdowns and border closures of states on the spread of SARS-CoV-2 in the fi ve states of South Eastern, Nigeria. COVID-19 data of the fi ve South Eastern States of Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo between April 1st and 30th June were retrieved from the Nigerian Center for Disease Control (NCDC) microsites and analyzed using GraphPad software, Version 5.01. Results showed that the South Eastern states recorded a total of 1,415 COVID-19 cases between April when all the fi ve states had their fi rst cases and June, 30th with Ebonyi with a total of 438(31.0%) producing the highest confi rmed cases. The highest rate of infection was observed in the month of June with Ebonyi recording the highest (28.1%), followed by Abia and Imo with 21.2% and 20.9% respectively. The use of face masks, social distancing, community lockdown and other containment measures are necessary to prevent further upsurge in the rate COVID-19 infection in the South East, and indeed the whole Nigeria.

Full textAbstract:
Anaesthesia and surgical care are essential for the treatment of many of the health-related conditions in our environment and they are integral component of a functional and resilient health system. The WFSA Global Anaesthesia practice projected that at least 5 physician anaesthesia providers per 100,000 population is needed to effectively ensure leadership of anaesthesia services as well as the delivery of emergency and essential patient care. This study aimed to evaluate the anaesthesia provider capacity in the south-eastern Nigeria, as an index of safe perioperative care. We conducted a study to survey the anaesthesia provider capacity in the south-eastern Nigeria, during the period of September through December 2021 by contacting the various Heads of Anaesthesia Department in public and private hospitals on phone and via Whatsapp messages. We also analyzed the 2016 edition of Nigerian Society of Anaesthetists Membership Directory. The total number of physician-anaesthetists and non-physician anaesthetists in the various states in south-eastern Nigeria were evaluated relative to the population density. Data was collated using Microsoft excel spread sheet analyzed using SPSS version 27.0 and presented as frequencies, proportions and ratios in tabular and descriptive forms. This survey showed that there are 50 consultant anaesthetists (anaesthesia specialist physicians) working in the south-eastern part of Nigeria, serving 21,955,414 population at the rate of 0.2 per 100,000 populations. The non-physician anaesthesia providers were the nurse anaesthetist (83), anaesthesia technicians (29) and anaesthesia attendants (39). This study showed that there is critical shortage of qualified physician anaesthetists and other anaesthesia providers in south-eastern Nigeria.

<em>This study examined principals’ leadership styles and teachers’ collaboration in the performance of private secondary schools of South Eastern States of Nigeria. Two research questions and two hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted correlational survey design. The population of the study comprised 15,200 teachers in the 2,284 approved private secondary schools in the 21 education zones in the South East, Nigeria. The sample size was made up 3,000, comprising 2,500 approved teachers, 500 principal. The sample was chosen using cluster and purposive sampling techniques. Two instruments were used for this study, Principals Leadership Style in Schools (PLSS) and Teachers’ Collaboration in Private Schools (TCPS) with 40 items for principals and 10 items for teachers. The four specialists-two from the department of measurement and evaluation and two from the department of educational administration and planning. The reliability was ascertained using Cronbach alpha statistics which gave the indices as 0.79 for principal’s leadership styles and 0.81 for teacher’s collaboration. Research questions were answered using simple linear regression statistics while hypotheses were tested with t-test at 0.05 level of significance. The findings among others were that, there is a high relationship between principals leadership styles and performance of private secondary schools in the south eastern, Nigeria. The study found that too there is high relationship between principals’ support for teacher’s collaboration and performance of private secondary schools in south eastern states of Nigeria. The study found that too there is high relationship between principals’ support for teachers’ collaboration and performance of private secondary schools in south eastern states of Nigeria. Based on the findings, the study recommends that private secondary school principals and their management should endeavour to encourage teacher’s collaboration. There is also the need to give periodic orientation to both new and old teachers.</em>

The study investigated the causes of failure among family owned businesses in South-East, Nigeria. Specific objectives were to; evaluate major family business enterprises that have failed in South-eastern states, Nigeria; investigate the causes of failure of these family owned business enterprisesidentified in South-eastern states in Nigeria; explore strategies that will help prevent such failures in other family owned business enterprises in Nigeria. The study adopted a qualitative approach in analyzing the causes. Historical analysis of ten indigenous family owned business situated in South-eastern, Nigeria that have gone into extinction, were thoroughly carried out to identify factors that contributed to their extinction. It was found out that; death of founder(s), financial constraint, poor management, market complexity and competitions are the main contributors to family business failures and extinctions in Southeastern, Nigeria. Thus, it was recommended family business owners should be liberal, open-minded, flexible and inclusive in making business decisions that will propel their enterprises to greater height. More so, competent hands, professional business consultants and advisors should be incorporated in managing the business. This will ensure the success and fecundity of the business. Though, the study encountered a slight challenge as regards to the availability of resources, because relevant information that would have enriched the result, were not documented or uploaded on the internet. However, the findings of the study contributed immensely to the body knowledge of family successes, growths and failures in Nigeria.

Full textAbstract:
This study assessed the patterns of rice production and yields in South Eastern Nigeria. The study focused on clusters of production systems and estimation of rice yields. The study adopted a questionnaire survey design. The instrument was subjected to face and content validation by three experts and the reliability of the instrument was determined with an internal consistency of 0.79. Four states, three Local Government Areas (LGAs) from each of the selected states were purposively selected, while two communities were randomly selected from each of the twelve LGAs making a total of twenty four communities. Twenty farm households were randomly selected from each of the two communities making a total of forty farm households per LGA. In all, a total of four hundred and eighty farm households were sampled. Data were collected on the rice types, patterns and yields in South Eastern Nigeria. Data generated were analysed using descriptive statistics, Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and Pearson correlation with STATA software. The results on the patterns of rice production showed that rain-fed dry upland and shallow fadama rice systems were the most widespread rice production systems across the states in the study area. Valley bottoms or ‘deep fadama’ are practiced in Anambra, Enugu and Ebonyi States. The preferred rice type in Anambra, Enugu and Ebonyi States is MAS 2401, while IR 1416 is the chief variety at Uzo-Uwani LGA of Enugu States and FARO 16 is the most preferred rice type in Abia State. The null hypothesis indicates that there exists a statistically significant variation in the patterns of rice production across the study areas. The mean yield estimation curve identified that Ebonyi State recorded the highest mean estimation production value of (7,805kg/ha) in rice production. The Pearson correlation results indicate that a very high (0.91) relationship exists between rice production patterns and yields in the study area. Based on these findings, it was concluded that the variations in the patterns of rice production across the study had resultant effect on the rice yields. It was recommended that policy makers should address the needs of local rice farmers by providing agricultural interventions at State and Local Government levels through improved agronomic practices, better inputs management and efficient water management to boost production and enable Nigeria attain the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) on food security [25].

White yam (<em>Dioscorea rotundata</em> Poir.) is the most important species of yam in West Africa cultivated for the consumption of its starchy tuber. Indigenous knowledge and usage of white yam in some parts of South-Eastern, Nigeria was investigated. This research work aimed at conducting ethno-botanical studies of post harvest rot of white yam in the five South-Eastern states of Nigeria. A well-structured, pre-tested questionnaire on cultivation, post harvest handling of yam, and conservation was designed and administered to obtain crucial information from the respondents within the study area. Five South-Eastern states of Nigeria namely; Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo states were randomly surveyed. Ethno-botanical studies revealed that five hundred and eighty two households about 97% of the respondents were interviewed out of the six hundred questionnaires administered which were successfully retrieved and fully responded to. It was observed that more men (63.67%) were involved in yam farming than women (33.33%) who engage in yam farming. Overall, respondents within the study area who were aware of the indigenous knowledge of yam were significantly (P˂0.05) higher than those who were unaware. This ethno-botanical study revealed the traditional concepts and practices relating to yam cultivation and its conservation. Findings from this survey will be utilized as a basis for further investigations on emerging indigenous practices and sustainability impact.

This study is on the effect of human capacity development on insecurity in Nigeria (2010–2031). The study used descriptive survey research design in which youths of selected states in South East of Nigeria were studied. The population of the study is 13.4 million youths in South East of Nigeria. Linear regression was used in the hypotheses testing. This was done with the aid of Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software ver.22. The study revealed that inability of government to build the capacity of the youths significantly heighten insecurity in South East Nigeria (Beta=0.656, p=0.000), that lack of youth skill training significantly heighten insecurity in South East Nigeria (Beta=0.674, p=0.000) and that inadequate development of technical capabilities significantly heightens insecurity in South East Nigeria (Beta=0.340, p=0.000). Based on the findings, the studyrecommended that since it will never be possible for government to employ all the youth in the South East, the government should encourage the youth through skills acquisition and soft loan to enable them start some businesses of their own, while the government continues to monitor the beneficiaries, offering them advice and guidance where necessary. The states government in South East part of Nigeria can as well encourage the youth to queue into the agricultural programme of the South Eastern states by acquiring land and other farm inputs at subsidized rates as well as making tractors and other equipment available, and can go further by assisting the farmers sale their produce at appreciable rate through marketing board which the states in South East of Nigeria can establish..

This study evaluated the effect of remittances on crop productivity and household welfare in Southeastern, Nigeria. Anambra and Imo states were purposively selected for their high rate in youth migration; and 714 households were used for the study. Data was analyzed using Endogenous treatment effect model. Wealth Index Score was used as a proxy for household welfare. The results of the study showed that employment status, sex of migrant, and age of migrant, sending remittance for buying of agricultural implements as well as paying for school were the major factors that influenced sending of remittances by the youths to the originating households in the study area. Also, the average treatment effect (ATE) of remittances on household welfare was insignificant, implying that there was no significant difference between remittance and non-remittance households. However, the ATE of remittances on crop productivity was significant in the pooled states but not significant in the states. Youths should be encouraged to move into agriculture by removing the bottlenecks associated to agricultural production.

Full textAbstract:
Contagious bovine pleuropneumonia is a trans-boundary animal disease caused by Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides. This study was designed to determine the seroprevalence of contagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP) in three selected south eastern states (Anambra, Enugu and Imo) of Nigeria using competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (c-ELISA). A total of 438 bovine sera samples were collected randomly for four months (December 2019 to March 2020) and screened for antibodies to Mycoplasma mycoides subsp. mycoides (Mmm) using IDEXX CBPP antibody ELISA kit (CIRAD, France). Results showed an overall prevalence of 59.4% for the three states screened. Antibodies to Mmm were detected in all the three states. Enugu state had the highest prevalence (64.3%) followed by Imo state (63%) and Anambra state (50.7%). Female animals had higher prevalence of CBPP than male. However, it was not statistically significant (P> 0.05). This study confirms the presence of CBPP in south eastern Nigeria, and could be used as a base line data for future studies in this region. It is recommended that active surveillance and vaccination protocol should be undertaken in the region for the control and prevention of this disease.

Full textAbstract:
The study seeks to find out the linguistic adulteration of the Igbo language through a sociolinguistic process known as multilingualism. Many scholars are lamenting that the Igbo language is going into extinction just because it is losing its original linguistic structures via multilingualism. Such alteration brings to the limelight of the study in order to address these issues on Nigerian indigenous languages in general and the Igbo language in particular. A descriptive approach is used to harvest some of these language contact issues among the Igbo populace and language. A random sampling is used to ascertain the population of the five Igbo states: Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu and Imo States on how communication and written aspects of the language have been dealt with negatively. Participant observation and students’ essay writing in the Igbo language are used to collate these sub-standard Igbo grammar structures. The study expounds at a length the intricacy of the proper Igbo written forms and as well as pulling the Igbo language away from the effects of multilingualism. The findings of the study prove that the different types of multilingualism abound among the Igbo language native users. They also exemplify some linguistic related issues on the bold face of multilingualism among the Igbo interlocutors and how they vary among the Igbo speech communities in Nigeria. The study also finds out the effects of multilingualism on the standard Igbo teaching. The study goes further in suggesting some quintessential solutions to recuperate the status quo of the Igbo language.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Under–five mortality is a major public health indicator hence its inclusion among the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Identifying the determinants of under–five mortality is a major step in tackling under–five mortality. While it is important to determine factors that affect under–five mortality at the national level, is it also very important to disaggregate data to determine the peculiarities and differences at the geopolitical zones. This zoomed into the South–eastern geo–political zone of Nigeria. Methods: This was a population based cross–sectional study. Secondary data of the 2013 Nigeria Demographic and Health Survey (NDHS) was analyzed. Though the NDHS was a nationally representative study, only data from the South–east geo–political zone was included in analysis. The aim of the study was to identify determinants of under–five mortality. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were carried out. Results: This study revealed several determinants of under–five mortality in the South–east geo–political zone of Nigeria. Children who reside in Anambra state had lower odds of under–five mortality compared with the children who reside in the four states. The following factors reduced the odds of under–five mortality: female gender, maternal education, maternal age less than 35years, maternal use of modern family planning, family belonging to the middle and rich wealth index. Conclusions: this study has identified important risk factors that should be considered in the formulation of policies that combat under–five mortality in the South–east geo–political zone of Nigeria.

Igboland, also known as Southeastern Nigeria and some parts of South Nigeria, is the homeland of the Igbo people. It is a cultural and common linguistic region in southern Nigeria. Geographically, it is divided by the lower Niger River into two unequal sections – an eastern and a western section. The states captured in this area includes: Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Abia, Ebonyi, and minor parts of Delta, Benue and Rivers states. The Igbo culture and traditions are filled with many colourful ceremonies that distinguish them from the other tribes in Nigeria. Igba Nkwu Nwanyi is one of the many colourful traditions of the Igbo people, and its intricacies vary from one area to another.

Full textAbstract:
Edible insect consumption called entomophagy is very important in ensuring food security especially in a developing country like Nigeria, but promotion of entomophagy after a long period of adoption of western diets demands a comprehensive inventory of edible insect consumption in the past. At present, there is little or no repository of document with comprehensive information on edible insects consumed in the south eastern states of Nigeria and methods of use is also scarce in literature. It becomes imperative to assess edible insect consumption in the region as a background for promotion of entomophagy in the area. The study used questionnaires and oral interviews to obtain information on types of edible insects consumed, season of harvest, cooking methods, local dishes with edible insects, people’s reaction to edible insect consumption, challenges of entomophagy business and ethno-cultural beliefs on edible insect consumption. Of the 2,000 individuals sampled, 56.4% were males, 43.6% females, with 22.4% children, 19.6% teenagers, 24.2% young adults, 16.6% older adults and 17.2% aged above 60 years of age. The result showed that seventeen insect species belonging to six orders were consumed and harvesting is mainly during the rains, though some recorded year round availability. Restricted seasonal availability and high collecting costs are among the reported barriers to edible insect consumption The most common cooking methods documented in the study were frying or roasting. Six traditional dishes were found to include edible insects. Four ethno-cultural beliefs on some edible insects were also documented. Edible insect farming is therefore recommended as a strategy to bridge the gap between insect protein supply and demand in the region.

Full textAbstract:
In a cross-sectional study to determine the magnitude of dual sensory impairment (DSI-combined hearing and vision loss) in children in single-disability special education schools, children in schools for the blind and schools for the deaf in four states in South-East Nigeria were examined by an ophthalmologist and otorhinolaryngologist to determine the level of their disability and to identify other disabilities if any. Participants were all students with childhood blindness or childhood deafness. The magnitude and causes of DSI and the burden of undetected DSI were the main outcome measures. A total of 273 students were examined. About 7% of these students had DSI out of which over 60% (12/19) was previously undetected. There was more DSI in the blind schools than in the deaf schools (p=0.003). There is a large burden of undetected DSI in children in special schools in Nigeria. There is a need to create awareness of this problem and advocate appropriate screening, rehabilitative and educational strategies for children who have it.

Full textAbstract:
Competition has increased due to the proliferation of different brands of malt drinks in Nigeria. Thus, manufacturers and brand managers of malt drinks need to explore strategic approaches to acquiring and retaining their customers. However, this paper assessed the multisensory attributes of malt drinks and consumer purchase decisions in South-Eastern Nigeria. The study population comprises consumers of Maltina, Malta Guinness, Amstel Malta, Dubic Malt, and Grand Malt in South-Eastern Nigeria. A sample size of 384 consumers of malt brands was determined using Topman formula. A convenience sampling technique was adopted, and respondents were drawn from five states such as Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, and Imo. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey research method. Cronbach’s alpha and composite reliability were estimated to check the internal consistency of the study constructs. The structural equation modeling technique was used in data analysis. Findings revealed that the visual attribute of malt has a significant positive relationship with consumer purchase decisions. It was also revealed that malt brand gustatory attribute has a significant positive relationship with consumer purchase decisions. Similarly, it was revealed that the tactile attribute of malt brand has a significant positive relationship with consumer purchase decisions. Finally, it was revealed that the malt brand olfactory attribute has a significant positive relationship with consumer purchase decisions. Therefore, manufacturers and brand managers of malt should improve on packaging their malt brands by strategically adapting a multisensory synergy to guarantee wider consumer purchase and experience toward ensuring more customer satisfaction, patronage, and increased profits for the organizations.

Full textAbstract:
The investment level and factors influencing the poultry industry in southeastern Nigeria were analysed in this study. The sample was chosen using a multi-stage random sampling technique. The study used primary data collected from 135 poultry enterprises in southeastern Nigeria, consisting of 45 enterprises from Enugu State, 45 from Imo State, and 45 from Ebonyi State. The data was analysed using descriptive statistics, such as frequency tables and percentages, as well as the Cobb Douglass multiple regression model. The findings indicate that the stocking of day-old chicks and the feeding of birds are the most demanding aspects of investment in poultry production for enterprises in southeastern Nigeria. There are also noticeable variations in the level of investment across the states in this region. In Enugu State, the level of investment in the poultry enterprise is significantly influenced by profitability coefficients, total expenditure requirements, business age, enterprise size, outstanding debt, and savings amount. In Imo State, the level of investment is significantly determined by profitability coefficients, total expenditure requirements, business age, enterprise size, outstanding debt, and savings amount. In Ebonyi State, the level of investment is significantly determined by profitability coefficients, total expenditure requirements, outstanding debt, enterprise location, and savings amount. Overall, the level of investment in poultry enterprise in the southeastern region of Nigeria is significantly determined by profitability coefficients2.896, total expenditure requirements3.951, enterprise size 3.554, outstanding debt, business stage2.323, enterprise location 3.460, and savings amount 3.264. The study recommends that it is important to consider these factors when formulating policies aimed at enhancing the level of investment in poultry production in the southeast region of Nigeria. This will make investment in the poultry industry profitable, support employment creation opportunities, and ensure chicken meat availability in the southeastern region of Nigeria, as well as in Nigeria as a whole.

Full textAbstract:
This work presents an investigation of the optimal tilt angles for mounting pv panels in South –South and South - East States in Nigeria when no tracking system exists using the photovoltaic geographic information system (PVGIS). Experiments were carried out to verify results obtained from the PVGIS database. The experimental set up consist of five PV panels each rated 10Watts inclined at five different angles including the optimal angle obtained from the PVGIS database. South-South Nigeria consists of six states (Rivers, Delta, Bayelsa, Edo, Cross-Rivers and Akwa-Ibom). South-East Nigeria consists of five states (Abia, Enugu, Imo, Ebonyi and Anambra). The optimal installation angle of selected cities within each of the States was identified. Results from experiments conducted showed that from January to April and September to December, the yearly optimal tilt angle (11o for Port Harcourt, 12o for Yenagoa, 11o for Benin City, 10o for Calabar, 11o for Asaba and 10o for Uyo) is suitable for use in the South – South while from January to April and September to December, the yearly optimal tilt angle (10o for Umuahia, 11o for Awka, 12o for Enugu, 10o for Owerri, and 11o for Abakaliki) is suitable for use in the South – East. The horizontal plane (0o ) is suitable from May to August in both South – South and South – Eastern States. The untapped solar potential in the South – South was observed to be as high as 286.62kWh/m2 for Port Harcourt and a low value of 19.34kWh/m2 was recorded in Calabar when solar panels are not installed at the optimal angles. For the South –East, the untapped solar potential was observed to be as high as 222.11kWh/m2 for Umuahia and a lowest value of 21.31kWh/m2 was also recorded in Umuahia when solar panels were not installed at the optimal angles. Installing PV panels at the optimal tilt angle can improve the efficiency of solar energy generation, making it more cost-effective by maximizing the total amount of diffused and direct radiation.

Full textAbstract:
Candidiasis as a disease is sometimes synonymous with woman folk and most human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected individuals. But the disease generally has no border, as it affects males, females, old, young and middle age persons. Environmental changes encourage over-growth of the opportunistic pathogens Candida spp. The review aimed to assess different presentations of diseases due to Candida species in some states in Nigeria, covering Northwest, South-west, South-south and South-eastern parts of the country. Data was obtained through literature search of work from previous researchers. It was observed based on the review that candidiasis is a factor of many different species of the genus Candida but Candida albican is the predominant cause of the illiness, with other non albican Candida, contributing the remaining percentage. It was also discovered that HIV infection, pregnancy, diabetis abuse of antibiotics and generally immunocompromise status are among the predisposing factors of the disease. It was also discovered that age group of 20-30 which is an active age group in women are more prone to candidisis.

The paper examined porous borders and small arms and light weapons proliferation in South Eastern comprising Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Abia, and Ebonyi states and inhabited by the Igbo ethnic group in the country. Data were collected using In-depth Interviews, Focus Group Discussions, field observations and documentary sources. Twenty-nine (29) personnel of different security agencies responsible for combating SALW proliferation, in the South-East participated in the IDIs and FGD as well as 41 participants drawn from ten (10) different communities with history of communal conflicts and stakeholders across the South-East. The result of the study revealed among others that though the South East region does not have any international borders, arms are trafficked into the region from other regions that border it and thus pave way for arms proliferation into the region. The paper recommends the use of cutting-edge technology in security surveillance, adequate funding and training of security personnel as well as strengthening of the Multinational Joint Task Force.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the secessionist agitations; implications on Nigeria’s national security; and strategies of managing the challenges. Specifically, the study was anchored on the following objectives; Public awareness, Capacity building and Policy implementation. Methodology: The researchers adopted Ted Gur’s Theory of Deprivation and the descriptive design for the study. Primary and secondary data were obtained. Primary data were collected through the 17 interviews held with the purposely-selected respondents from the in selected South Eastern states of Nigeria, comprising (Enugu, Abia and Anambra) because of the prevailing calls for secessionist agitations in the areas. The secondary source of data included; the existing literatures, relevant journal publications, dailies, magazines and web materials. Data obtained were content-analyzed. Findings: Findings of the study revealed that the call for self-determination and restructuring pursuant to the nature of country, where good governance is obviously absent, remain parts of the notable causes of secessionist agitation while the struggles have impacted negatively the national security of Nigeria. However, the paper reveals that the instances of secessionist threats in the country have led to all forms of insecurity in the land region, thus resulting in the restrictions of people’s movement and also threats to human lives and property. The study therefore recommends there is need for hands-on policies put in place and implemented in relation to the developmental demands of the masses traversing the conflict-proven locations of secessionist agitators for amicable remedies to the growing menace in Nigeria. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study identifies the gap that lies between policy implementation, the call for self-determination and restructuring pursuant to the nature of country, where good governance is obviously absent, remain parts of the notable causes of secessionist agitation while the struggles have impacted negatively the national security of Nigeria. There are still gaps to be filled in awareness campaign, capacity building and policy implementation on the need for hands-on policies to be put in place and implemented in relation to the developmental demands of the masses traversing the conflict-proven locations of secessionist agitators for amicable remedies to the growing menace in Nigeria.

Full textAbstract:
This research was conducted to identify pressing influences among skilled workers in the building industry in South-eastern Nigeria. This is because not much is known about job pressure among skilled workers in the building industry in the sampled areas to date. The investigation involved the administration of a questionnaire to about 108 skilled workers including architects, builders, town planners and quantity surveyors randomly selected from 60 uncompleted building projects in Imo, Ebonyi and Enugu States, Nigeria. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and findings show that the prime sources of pressure were high volume of tasks, uncomfortable site offices, lack of feedback on previous and uncompleted building projects and variations in the scope of work in uncompleted building projects in the selected states. This study recommended taking job responsibilities that one has adequate capacity to handle, establishing realistic budgets and time frames for project delivery, providing spatially adequate, visually and thermally comfortable site offices, adopting appropriate job construction practices, and educating skilled workers on pressure management will reduce the incidence of pressure among skilled workers in the study area.

Full textAbstract:
Nigeria is the most populous state in Africa south of the Sahara. Her geography and her history together make her an interesting sociopolitical and cultural experiment. It is a land with believers in both Islam and Christianity. A country whose northern parts were the prizes of jihadic victory of a highly Islamized Fulani elite, and whose southern portions are inhabited by peoples who were voluntarily or involuntarily brought under the control of the marching Christian soldiers determined to expand the domain of imperial Europe and committed to recruiting souls for Jesus. Nigeria is a meeting ground for two periods in African history. It is the place where Islam still rejoices over its past glories and successes; it is also a place where Euro-Western Christianity has made a major breakthrough. It is against this background, and with such facts in mind, that the subject of Nigerian-Arab relations is here explored. I divide this paper into four parts. The first part is a brief historical sketch of the impact of Arabs and Islam on the Nigerian society and the Nigerian mind. The second part addresses itself to the early post-colonial period in NigerianArab relations; the third part discusses Nigerian-Arab relations under military rule in Nigeria; the fourth part discusses Nigeria's Third Republic and the Arab states. A. Islam, Arabs and NigeriaThe arrival of Islam in northern Nigeria dates back to the 11th century and constitutes a major development in the history of this region of Africa. It not only linked the Hausas, the Fulanis, and other Islamized ethnic groups with the wider world of Islam to the north, northeast, and west, but it also opened up the possibility of Muslim expansion southwards. Indeed, one of the effects of lslamization in Northern Nigeria was the emergence of a full-fledged Islamic culture and civilization in certain parts of what we now call Nigeria. The sphere of ...

Full textAbstract:
Education institutions in Nigeria have experienced socio-educational consequences due to the Academic Staff Union Universities (ASUU) power to call out workers. The decline in the quality of education among Nigerian institutions of higher learning is exacerbated by persistent strikes. Pharmacy education is crucial for producing skilled pharmacists, but the Federal Government’s negligence in agreements with the ASUU has led to longer strikes lasting up to 8 months. This study examines pharmacy education in South Eastern Nigeria following the university staff union-organized strike action. The study was conducted at the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Nnamdi Azikiwe University Awka, and the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, in Anambra and Enugu states, Nigeria. The study involved undergraduate Pharmacy students and was conducted using a random sampling technique. The sample size was 340 students, with 340 selected from each level. Lecturers of the two faculties were also sampled. A structured hybrid questionnaire was developed and validated, and data analysis was performed using a statistical package for social science (SPSS version 27). The ASUU Strike negatively impacted Nigeria’s Pharmacy Education, with more than 52% admitting negative effects on their academics. Students disagree that the strike improved performance, leading to delays in graduation and a lack of quality lectures and practical classes. The strike also affected research opportunities for pharmacy students while exposing them to anxiety, depression, and social vices. Strikes cause academic delays, limited resources, reduced faculty engagement, hindered research and training, and decreased motivation. Longer strikes also negatively affect lecturers’ finances and quality of life.

Aims: To determine and compare the bacteriological quality of frozen chicken sold in the Capital cities of the South Eastern States of Nigeria. Method: A total of 150 samples (frozen chicken) were collected from different Capital cities (Abakaliki, Awka, Enugu, Owerri and Umuahia) of the five (5) South Eastern States of Nigeria, which were 30 samples each State. The Aerobic Plate Counts (APC), Total Coliform Counts (TCC), Psychrotrophic Plate Counts (PPC), Escherichia coli counts, Staphyococcus aureus counts and the presence of Salmonella spp were determined by plate count technique using the appropriate media. Colony counts were taken from the plates with the specified number of colonies. Results: For the Capital cities which are Abakaliki, Awka, Enugu, Owerri and Umuahia, the samples mean values for the Aerobic Plate Counts (APC) were 9.61×106, 8.50×106, 6.12×106, 8.10×106 and 6.46×106 respectively, the Total Coliform Counts (TCC) were 4.80×103, 5.59×103, 2.46×103, 2.62×103 and 3.72×103 respectively, the Psychrotrophic Plate Counts (PPC) were 5.71×106, 4.57×106, 4.22×106, 5.53×106 and 4.41×106 respectively, the Escherichia coli counts were 2.33×103, 2.68×103, 1.56×103, 1.80×103 and 2.12×103 respectively, the Staphyococcus aureus counts were 5.58×103, 3.93×103, 4.36×103, 4.16×103 and 4.11×103 respectively and the incidence of Salmonella spp were 19, 13, 6, 15 and 16 respectively. Abakaliki with the highest mean values counts and highest incidence was the Capital with the highest bacterial load/contamination. Awka was the Capital with second most bacterial load. Enugu was the Capital with the lowest bacterial load. Owerri and Umuahia were contaminated but had bacterial load lower than those of Abakaliki and Awka samples. The bacterial load of Owerri and Umuahia tends to be equivalent. The mean values of the Capital cities exceed the international permissible limits and there were presence of Salmonella spp Conclusion: The frozen chicken meats sold in the Capital cities of South Eastern States of Nigeria are highly contaminated and can cause food poisoning when eaten raw or under cooked. Therefore, proper cooking should be done before consumption.

Full textAbstract:
In Nigeria, the practice of disinheriting some heirs from intestate property is prevalent in the majority of south eastern states, especially amongst custodians who insist on age-long traditions. Despite Supreme Court decisions that have voided unequal and discriminatory inheritance in accordance with section 42(1) and (2) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 (as amended), some of these customs continue to discriminate in intestate situations. This paper will adopt a doctrinal approach to give an overview of intestacy and the practice of intestate inheritance in south east Nigeria. It will identify two modern theories, and explain them in light of inheritance. The objective of the paper is to proffer a modern theory of law that accommodates a fair distribution of property in intestate circumstances while having regard to the maintenance of the legacy of the deceased. The work professes a more accommodating approach to the problem of discriminatory inheritance, and recommends amongst others, a capability dependent distributive justice theory which it believes is a modern, non-discriminatory, and fair approach to intestate issues in Nigeria.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of "sit-at-home" is a recent term used by freedom agitators, particularly of Igbo extraction, to get the attention of the Nigerian government to grant sovereignty to the Indigenous people of Biafra. It is also a concept that challenges the authority of the government while asking it to end marginalisation and to release the leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu, who was arrested and is presently in the custody of the Department of State Services (DSS). Sit-at-Home, particularly in Anambra, Enugu, Imo, Abia, and Ebonyi (South-Eastern states of Nigeria), has been given socio-political interpretation. Generally, politics is supposed to be the machinery for resolving conflict and governing the people sincerely. Unfortunately, it has become an agent of disunity in the Nigerian state. This has led to several agitations in the past, but they are more vocal in present times. The agitations for freedom have often triggered violence and conflict between the government and the freedom agitators, given room for the marginalisation of certain regions, and consequently proved Nigeria's government's inability to decide on behalf of the governed. The methodology used in the study is a qualitative phenomenological method. The study examines the challenges and implications of the concept for the socio-economic, socio-political, socio-cultural, and socio-religious lives of the people of southeastern Nigeria. The paper observes that this face-off could be resolved if the needs of the Igbo were critically examined and attained. The paper calls on the government to organise a dialogue and a referendum in order to end the menace in the South-Eastern region.

Full textAbstract:
Human rights laws have played a significant role in protecting the human rights of extradites wanted by a requesting state to face criminal charges. However, states in their zeal to secure the presence of these individuals within their territory in order to try them under their domestic laws, tend to circumvent international extradition norms and processes, thereby placing these individuals beyond the law’s protection. Nigeria is no exception: for example, in the case of Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of a group campaigning for the independent Republic of Biafra in Nigeria’s South-Eastern region, who was allegedly forcefully abducted and detained in Kenya before his extraordinary extradition to Nigeria. The United Nations Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD is established to ensure personal liberty of persons who have been arbitrarily deprived in such circumstance. This article adopts the doctrinal methodology to examine the legal issues raised in the WGAD’s opinion which determines whether Kanu’s liberty was arbitrarily deprived by the Kenyan and Nigerian Governments.

Purpose: This research aimed at examining the dynamics of bilateral relations between Nigeria and South Africa, despite violent attacks against Nigerians in South Africa.
 Methodology: The research design adopted in this study was descriptive, that depended on judgmental sampling technique. Secondary source of data collection (books, journal articles, monographs, internet materials among others) were sourced from Nigerian libraries and internet. These materials were subjected to content validity before analyzed qualitatively into the study. In order to deepen the understanding of xenophobic attacks against Nigerians in South Africa, relative deprivation theory served as an explanatory tool.
 Findings: Findings revealed that unemployment in Nigeria fostered unnecessary migration of Nigerian youths to South Africa, thereby, triggering the xenophobic attacks against them by South African youths who are also searching for job opportunities. Though, Xenophobic attacks have not resulted in diplomatic row between Nigeria and South Africa, there are possible implications for political, economic and trade relations between the two states, according to findings.
 Recommendations: The paper recommends job creation for Nigerian youths in both public and private sector, strengthening of Nigeria–South Africa Bi-National Commission, which has been moribund, as well as internationalization of South Africa domestic environment. These are panacea for xenophobic attacks in South Africa against Nigerians.

This study investigates the determinants of banking sector profitability in South Africa, Nigeria and the United States. The findings reveal that cost efficiency, the size of non-performing loans and overhead cost to total asset ratio are significant determinants of the banking sector profitability. In the comparative analysis, the findings from South Africa show that the cost efficiency ratio, overhead cost to total asset ratio and non-performing loans are significant determinants of the banking sector profitability. In the United States, capital adequacy ratio and the size of non-performing loans are significant determinants of its banking sector profitability. In Nigeria, the overhead cost to total asset ratio and cost efficiency ratio are significant determinants of the banking sector profitability. The descriptive analysis reveal that bank net interest margin and return on asset are higher in Nigeria and lowest in the United States which suggests that the Nigerian banking sector is more profitable than the US banking sector. Return on equity is higher in South Africa and lowest in the United States.

The study examined the effects of IPOB sit-at-home order on the economy of Ezeagu Local Government Area of Enugu State, the South-Eastern region of Nigeria. The study employed both primary and secondary sources of data with the use of the system theory by Talcott Parsons which states that every system is made up of sub-system that has component parts, and each component has a vital role to play for the overall performance of the system as a whole. Questionnaires were administered to respondents and data gathered were analyzed with the use of in-depth summary and coding as well as Chi-square at 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that IPOB sit-at-home order has negatively affected the economy of Ezeagu Local Government Area of Enugu State, south-eastern region of Nigeria. Based on the findings, the study recommends that there is need for IPOB to suspend its sit-at-home order and embrace dialogue with the Federal Government to press down their demand for the release of their leader because this sit-at-home has not yielded any positive results, rather it has deeply eaten up the economy and affected the livelihood of the people which had led to more crimes and even loss of lives and properties. Also, the distribution of resources among the six (6) geo-political zones of Nigeria should be done through proper Federal character principle as this will go a long way to reducing what the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) perceived as gross marginalization to the south-eastern regions.

AbstractA survey of gastrointestinal helminth parasites of stray dogs (Canis familiaris) was conducted at Obollo-Afor and Ekwulobia markets, in Enugu and Anambra States, south-eastern Nigeria, respectively, to determine the patterns of infection among dogs in different parts of south-eastern Nigeria. Faecal samples collected, using long forceps, from every dog encountered in the markets between June 2007 and December 2008 were analysed by the Kato–Katz technique. Out of 413 dogs examined in both markets, 217 (52.6%) were infected with at least one of five parasites (Toxocara spp., Dipylidium caninum, Ancylostoma caninum, Taenia spp. and Trichuris vulpis). Overall faecal egg intensity of infection was 49.9 ± 58.7 eggs/g (epg). The prevalence of infection was comparable between the markets and between the male and female dogs, but varied significantly (P < 0.05) by age, decreasing from 78.9% in pups to 36.0% in adult dogs. The mean intensity pattern was similar to that of prevalence, decreasing from 86.7 ± 63.0 epg in pups to 22.1 ± 34.4 in adults. The most important individual parasite infection was Ancylostoma spp. (39.2%; 30.0 ± 41.2 epg) while T. vulpis was the least important (1.9%; 0.7 ± 5.4 epg). Generally, prevalence and intensity patterns of each parasite were also comparable between the markets and between sexes, but significantly (P < 0.05) age-dependent. The implications of these findings to public health in Nigeria and other endemic countries are discussed in relation to options for cost-effective control design and implementation.

Full textAbstract:
Culture comprises the whole complex of distinctive spiritual, intellectual and emotional features that characterize society, our thought about life, and our ideas. Culture has the capacity to bring about the change of attitudes needed to ensure peace and sustainable development which is known as the only possible way forward for life on planet earth; it shapes the way we see the world. Considering the prominence of Satellite television as a virtual medium, this study sought to know the influence of media imperialism and the claim that it has affected and undermined South-Eastern sociocultural norms and values. More so, this study examined the influence of satellite television stations in the south-eastern states of Nigeria, the region that is fully immersed with her culture. It specifically examined how satellite television has affected the knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, customs and any other capabilities and habits acquired by Nigerians as a member of the society. The research methodology utilizes descriptive statistics with a self-designed questionnaire used to elicit information from a sample of 180 respondents. The findings of the study revealed that the relationship between satellite television stations and sociocultural practices is high and statistically significant.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated librarians‟ social media addiction and quality services delivery in university libraries in two states (Bayelsa and Delta States) of South-South, Nigeria. The correlational research design was adopted for the study. The population of the study was made up of one hundred and seventy-four (174) librarians in the university libraries in two states of South-South, Nigeria, Nigeria. Due to the small size, manageability, and homogeneity of the population, the study employed a total population sampling approach, wherein the entire population was included for the study. Questionnaire was used as an instrument for data collection. Data were analysed using the statistical mean, Pearson and regression statistics. Mean and standard deviation was used to answer research questions 1 and 2, using a criterion mean of 2.50; Pearson‟s product moment correlation coefficient (PPMC) was used to answer research questions 3 while simple linear regression was used to test the hypothesis. The hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance. Among others, the study found that the librarians who participated study are not addicted to social networking sites and their level of services delivery is high; that there was a significant relationship between social media addiction and quality services delivery among the librarians in university libraries in two states of South-South, Nigeria. This study concludes that librarians in the two states (Bayelsa and Deta States) of South-South, Nigeria are not addicted to social networking sites, although the quality-of-service delivery is high. The study recommended that University library management should continue to ensure that service delivery in university libraries in the two states of South-South, Nigeria remains at its peak

<strong><em>Abstract</em>—</strong> <em>Adaptation of new technologies like intensive system of fish culture, processing of fish using modified drum ovum as well as other new technologies were studied in the South East Nigeria. Data collection for this study came from primary and secondary data. The primary data was generated through field survey using well-structured questionnaires as a major research instrument. The secondary data on the other hand were obtained through relevant literature ranging from textbooks, journals, articles, periodicals, seminar papers and proceedings. The result evinced that fish farmers in the entire south east used mainly intensive system of farming and less of extensive system of farming. Modified drum ovum is the most popular processing method preferred by all the fish farmers in the entire five south east states of Nigeria while choker kiln is the least. This can be attributed to its availability and affordability. The study recommends government support towards fish farming activities in the entire five South Eastern States of Nigeria. The farmers are encouraged to form cooperative societies or groups to gain easy access to credit facilities, they should also as a matter of urgency reorganize their various state Agricultural Development Programmes and recruit young fishery graduate that can be deployed in their state local government areas as well as providing financial assistance to these fish farmers through loans, subsidies in the form of feed, fish fingerlings, processing units etc. and organized special trainings in on-farm feed formulation, hatchery, fish processing, marketing, fish pond management and maintenance</em><em>.</em>

Full textAbstract:
Aims: This study aimed at identifying climatic zones over Nigeria.
 Duration of Study: Daily air temperature data for the 36 states and FCT in Nigeria were obtained from National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) for the period of thirty-seven (37) years (1984-2020).
 Method: Several hierarchical clustering procedures–single linkages, complete linkage, average distance within clusters, average distance between clusters, centroid clustering, median linkage and Ward’s method were used in this study.
 Results: Based on the findings, median linkage, complete linkage and Ward’s clustering method solutions seems more realistic. The application of cluster analysis, revealed five climate zones (cluster) over Nigeria. Cluster 1 covers Plateau state only while cluster 2 covers three south-west states and one north-west state (Kaduna). Cluster 3 covers all the states in south-east, south-south (except Cross River), North-central (except Kogi and Kwara), Bauchi in North-west and ogun and Oyo in South-west. Cluster 4 covers one state in south-south (Cross River), South-south (Lagos), two states in North-central (Kogi and Kwara), three states in North-east (Adamawa, Gombe and Taraba) and four states in North-west (Jigawa, Kano, Kastina and Zamfara). Lastly cluster 5 covers two states in North-east (Borno and Yobe) and North-west (Kebbi and Sokoto).
 Conclusion: Our findings clearly show that cluster analysis can be applied to identify similar weather/climate state from air temperature data.
