Violent Conflicts

Crop farmers and cattle herders' conflict have remained the most prevailing resource-use conflict in Girei Local Government Area of Adamawa State. Social and economic factors confined to inflame violent conflicts. The competition between these two Agricultural land user-groups threats the means of survival in the study area. The study describes the socioeconomic characteristics of farmers and herders and determines the causes of conflict in the study area. Primary data collected using structured questionnaire were subjected to simple percentages and chi-square analysis. The study revealed that the major causes of conflict in the study area are the crop damage by cattle, and lawlessness in the society. The findings also revealed that loss of expected yield, loss of cattle and loss of human lives and properties are the major effects of conflict. The study also concludes that the conflicts sometimes spread and lead to ethnic clashes and armed robbery. Therefore, it is in the interest of the state to address the genuine needs of herders and crop farmers since these two provides employment for almost all the rural people. In order to put an end to this conflict, it is therefore recommended that strange faces identified should be reported and leaders should preach the implications of conflict in the society.   Le conflit entre les agriculteurs et les éleveurs de bétail pose un grand problème qui est le plus répandu dans la région du gouvernement local de Girei, dans l'État d'Adamawa. Les facteurs sociaux et économiques servent à enflammer des conflits violents. La concurrence entre ces deux groupes d'usagers des terres agricoles menace les moyens de survie dans la zone d'étude. L'étude décrit les caractéristiques socio-économiques des agriculteurs et des éleveurs et détermine les causes des conflits dans la zone d'étude. Les données primaires collectées à l'aide d'un questionnaire structuré ont été soumises à des pourcentages simples et à une analyse du chi carré. L'étude a révélé que les principales causes de conflit dans la zone d'étude sont les dommages causés aux cultures par le bétail et l'anarchie dans la société. Les résultats ont également révélé que la perte de rendement, la perte de bétail et lacperte de vies humaines et de propriétés sont les principaux effets du conflit. L'étude conclutcégalement que les conflits se propagent parfois et conduisent à des affrontements ethniquescet des vols à main armée. Il est donc dans l'intérêt de l'État de répondre aux besoins réels descéleveurs et des agriculteurs, car ces deux moyens fournissent des emplois à presque tous lescruraux. Afin de mettre un terme à ce conflit, il est donc recommandé de signaler les visagescétranges identifiés et les dirigeants devraient sensibiliser aux implications des conflits danscla société.

Background: Adequate nutrition plays an important roles for children on school age to developed and maintain their growth and health. Many factors could affect the nutritional status of school children, one of them is the school location.Objectives: To analysis the correlation between school location with nutritional status of elementary school students.Method: The research design used was a cross-sectional design. 80 subjects were observed from two different schools namely SDN 1 Cikelet Garut (Urban) and SDN Pesanggrahan 02 Pagi Jakarta Selatan (Rural). The relationship of school location and gender with nutritional status were analyzed using Chi Square. Independent Sample T-test used to analyze nutritional status based on different locations.Result: In rural there are 25% of children with over nutritional status (weight/age). There are still stunted child both in urban (7.50%) and rural (10%), but based on weight/height nutritional status, almost all subjects in both urban (92.50%) and rural (97.50%) in obese category. Chi Square analysis showed that the school location was significantly related (P 0.05) only with the weight/age nutritional status. Gender is significantly related to height/age nutritional status. The majority of boys (15,4%) are shorter than girls (2,4%). The results of the Independent Sample T-test based on location, showed that the nutritional status of subjects in urban was significantly different (P0.05) from the nutritional status of subjects in rural. In line with this, based in gender there is significantly different (P0.05) in nutritional status between boy and girl.Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that differences in school locations are related to the nutritional status of elementary school students.

Livestock diseases constitute a great threat to protein availability in Nigeria. It is thus necessary to eramine how much farmers know about some deadly diseases prevalent in their stock as it would afford the farmer a timely re-adjustment to prevent foreseeable losses. The focus of this study was to determine farmers' level of awareness of African Swine Fever (ASF) in Agege Area of Lagos State, Nigeria. Primary data were collected with the use of a questionnaire administered to one hundred and twenty (120) respondents selected using the purposive sampling technique. Twenty seven (27) pig farms were also visited to obtain 017-farm data on pig mortality during the ASF epidemic. It was revealed that there was inadequate awareness of the early symptoms and characteristic signs of ASF among the respondents. As such mortality of about 95 percent was recorded. The Chi square analysis showed no significant relationship between farmers' level of awareness of ASF and the location of their pig farms. There was also no significant relationship between pig stock population and farmers' contact with Extension agents. The study then concluded that extension services to pig farmers are currently inadequate. It therefore recommends that it be developed to ensure institutional support in cases of epidemic disease outbreaks. More so, possible ways should be sought to ensure a steady flow of agricultural information from the research institutes and universities to the ultimate users. Preventive measures should however be taught to farmers to avoid the incidence of future disease outbreaks. Lastly, pig farmers are also advised to form associations that could serve as a pressure group in such cases of sector specific emergencies.
