A Visionary of the Lagos Muslim Community: Mustapha Adamu Animashaun, 1885-1968
No full textThe development process of a society can be understood through the study of lives of its inhabitants either as individuals or groups. In this connection, Nigerian historians have produced considerable amount of works on the country\'s local and national leaders. Such works have continued to enhance our knowledge of their roles in, and relevance to the country. While such biographies cut across religio-cultural boundaries, it seems clear that biographies on Muslim personalities, most especially at the local level, deserve more attention. This is why this study is on Mustapha Adamu Animashaun, who influenced the lives of Muslims and non-Muslims alike in Lagos during the first half of the twentieth century. In this study, the birth and educational background of Adamu Animashaun are examined. His life as a publisher, editor and author also receives attention. Furthermore, Adamu Animashaun\'s participation in the crisis of the Muslim Community of the Lagos Central Mosque between 1915 and 1947 is analysed. In addition, the study pays attention to his involvement in the formation of a Muslim political party in Lagos in the 1950s. The study concludes that despite the servile antecedents of Adamu Animashaun, he moved across the social ladder to become a leading personality in Lagos society – a feat achieved through sustained struggle, determination and support of those who shared the same aspiration with him.

THE EFFICIENCY OF THE HOUSE OF FEDERATION TO RESPOND TO THE QUESTION OF THE WOLKAITE PEOPLES IDENTITY RECOGNITION AND GEOGRAPHIC RESTORATION
No full textThis article looks at the identity recognition and geographic restoration question of Wolkaite people as Amharan. No studies of these people have been conducted on the question of identity recognition and geographic restoration. This study is, therefore, intended to investigate challenges faced in their response to identity recognition and geographical restoration. Hence, a qualitative research approach focusing on phenomenological design was employed. The respondents of the study were thirty-five, selected through a purposive sampling technique. Relevant and reliable data were gathered through structured questionnaires, in-depth informant interviews, focus group discussions, document analysis, and secondary sources. The article's main objective is to investigate why theWolkaite people's identity recognition and geographic restoration quest have not been responded to based on the FDRE constitutional framework. The findings of the study revealed that the main challenges to the issue of Wolkaite people's quest for the implementation of their constitutional rights were denied due to a lack of committed, efficient, and independent institutions being involved. This implies that the law and its practice are not matched in terms of the Wolkaite identity recognition. Therefore, to avoid the limitations of these institutions, reforming as well as empowering them at all levels would be a fruitful and productive solution to the question of identity matters
An Ecological (Re)presentation of Depravity and Environmental Depletion in Adamu Kyuka’s The Death of Eternity
No full textThe notion that the environment has always served as a thematic and aesthetic base for the production of texts in the literary enterprise, globally is inarguable. In attestation, of the afore claim, this paper draws cogent data from Adamu Kyuka’s The Death of Eternity to closely examine the natural world and the environment as underscoring the relationship between man and his environment. The paper is exponential in its portrayal of man’s symphonic interaction with the environment as a blessing or a curse. Going forward, this paper builds a composite philosophy around the intersection between literature and environment. Where it argues that Nigerian literature has become more conscious of issues arising from resource control, as it especially relates to the devastating effect it melts on the environment. In concretizing these arguments, the paper deploys Ecocriticism as its analytical/investigative mechanism to explore the selected text as a fair representation of the environmental degradation Nigeria suffers at large. Seemingly, the choice of Ecocriticism as the investigative tool identifies the selected author as keenly aware of the devastating effect of industrial pollution as portrayed in the text under study as an expression of the commitment of the course of environmental preservation. The paper therefore finds that, Kyuka’s The Death of Eternity is critical in its examination of the social injustices, greed, corruption, political crisis and economic setbacks as social ills which are inspired by the scramble for natural resources
Fractional investigation of time derivatives airflow process in a rectangular building
No full textAbstract: The study investigates the fractional time derivatives of air flow process across vertical openings in rectangular building by Caputo sense. Governing equations of air flow are solved analytically by Laplace transform technique and method of undetermined coefficient to obtain the solutions in Laplace domain. The solutions are inverted from the Laplace domain back to the time domain by the Riemann-sum approximation approach. The influence of the different flow parameters such as fractional order , Prandtl number , effective thermal coefficient and discharge coefficient are plotted in graphs. In the course of investigation, it is found that the increase or decrease in fractional order between the interval of the temperature profile and velocity profile will increase or decrease while the volumetric air flow and mass transfer will only decrease as fractional order increase.
Keywords: airflow process, building, fractional derivatives, investigations, rectangular, time.

Plant community formation and species distribution pattern in relation to environmental variables in Endiras Natural Forest, northwest Ethiopia
No full textThe study was conducted in Endiras Forest, northwest Ethiopia, to evaluate the effects of environmental variables on the patterns of plant community formation. A systematic random sampling technique was used to collect vegetation data from 56 (20 m × 20 m) plots laid at 100 m intervals on ten transects. In each plot, the species encountered and its percent cover abundance were recorded, which was later transformed into a modified Braun-Blanquet scale. The composite soil samples collected from 15 cm × 15 cm subplots were examined for 13 soil parameters. Communities were determined using cluster analysis. The Shannon-Wiener index was employed to quantify species diversity. The relationships between species and environmental variables were evaluated using canonical correspondence analysis (CCA). Seventy-three woody plant species, distributed in 40 families, were documented. Fabaceae was found to be the most species-rich family (20.55%). Five communities were generated from the cluster analyses that vary in diversity. Nine environmental variables were found to be significant in determining patterns of community formation (P < 0.05). Organic matter, pH, and altitude, highly correlated with CCA axis 1, largely shaped the community formation patterns. Various patterns of community formation demonstrate the need to design different conservation measures

Nutritional and Functional Composition of Barley Varieties From Legambo District, Ethiopia
No full textIn agriculture, barley holds significant importance as a vital crop with multiple uses. It provides a variety of advantages, including weed suppression, erosion management, nutrient recycling, and improved soil structure. The nutritional and functional composition of barley varieties’ samples were analyzed using AOAC methods. The moisture content of the samples ranged from 7.3% to 12.8%, while the ash content varied from 0.5% to 13%. The crude fiber content ranged from 0.5% to 1.5%, and the crude protein content ranged from 0.73% to 3.4%. Furthermore, the crude fat content ranged from 0.11% to 0.8%. The carbohydrate content of the samples were found to be between 69.5% and 82.5%, with an energy value ranging from 338.2 to 382.02 kcal/100 g. In terms of mineral content, the samples exhibited varying levels of calcium (310–670 mg/100 g), iron (34.9–65 mg/100 g), zinc (8.9–16 mg/100 g), and magnesium (Mg) (520–1122 mg/100 g). In addition, the range of the total phenolic content was 1.2 to 3.1 mg/100 g, while the range of the total flavonoid content was 0.41 to 0.55 mg/100 g. Therefore, barley, a selenium-rich food, acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from free radical damage, reducing inflammation, and reducing the risk of chronic illnesses. The highest content of stearic acid (3.4 g/100 g) followed by myristic acid (2.6 g/100 g) were found in barley varieties. Barley amino acids are essential nutrients for various biological processes, muscle repair, immunological system function, neurotransmitter generation, and detoxification

GENDER INEQUALITY AND HUMAN DEVELOPMENT IN BORNO STATE
No full textAbstract: The study set out to anatomize the menace of gender inequality and its ripple effect on human development in Borno State. The survey research method was adopted using key informant interview as instrument to elicit information from the respondents. Findings from the analysis of the data gathered have proven that human development is undermined by gender inequality in the aspect of educational development, healthcare service delivery and skill acquisition opportunities in Borno State. Such factors among others that often contribute to gender inequalities include the norms and value systems of the people, unhealthy cultural practices, ignorance, illiteracy and religion. Findings further unveils that human development is not given much priority in Borno State, judging from the fact that the female folk in Borno State are still been marginalized, suppressed and their male counterparts still exercise high position of dominance and control over the females, which has a ripple effect on the pace of human development in the Borno State. The study therefore recommends advocating for the domestication of the National Gender Policy 2006, identity possible causes of the continuous resistance from accepting gender equality similarly, gender mainstreaming should be adopted in all policy makers programming. Finally, Government should pay more attention to educational policies that enhance more female enrolment, participation in educational institutions and literacy to enhance women contribution to the growth and transformation in Nigeria.
Keywords: Gender inequality, Human Development, Borno state.
