Book Description
Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2009 in the subject African Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, University of Nigeria (University of Ibadan, Nigeria), language: English, abstract: This paper focuses on the socio-political and economic issues involved in the production of oil producing and non-oil producing communities as categories of identification in Nigeria. Using Ilaje people of Ondo State as a case, this paper, through qualitative methods of study, examines the factors of history, elite politics, and the state in identity formulation and the effects which the construction of the "other" among a supposed homogeneous group has on the existing forms of social relationship. It is established from the study that though the advantage of the oil producing community identity is utilized to attain political and economic height, the identity remains subordinate to a much larger and inclusive Ilaje identity. Generally, this paper is a reflection on how identity is manipulated even in the local context to suit competition for resources. It discusses the cultural creation of space and its hegemonization in quest of making exclusive and optimum advantage of resource in the space. The paper concludes that even when the spatial differentiation is yet to generate any remarkable conflict, the feelings of "oneness" appears to have been sufficiently weakened.

Book Description
Omolade Adunbi investigates the myths behind competing claims to oil wealth in Nigeria's Niger Delta. Looking at ownership of natural resources, oil extraction practices, government control over oil resources, and discourse about oil, Adunbi shows how symbolic claims have created an "oil citizenship." He explores the ways NGOs, militant groups, and community organizers invoke an ancestral promise to defend land disputes, justify disruptive actions, or organize against oil corporations. Policies to control the abundant resources have increased contestations over wealth, transformed the relationship of people to their environment, and produced unique forms of power, governance, and belonging.

Book Description
'The Spirit Sets Free' reflects on the Spirit setting free from within as a basis for the spontaneous enthusiasm of hope and joy, expressed in general liveliness, music and dance. This poses the challenge of laying the foundation of moral integrity as the second stage of African renaissance. The commitment to this challenge of moral integrity makes African spirituality a prophetic spirituality in the service of universal hope and joy. These cultural and spiritual missions involve both opportunity and responsibility with wide-ranging implications for individuals and groups of peoples of African heritage. convert this challenge of moral rebirth into the opportunity for true freedom from within, as basis of hope and joy.

Book Description
Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2017 in the subject Sociology - Economy and Industry, Adekunle Ajasin University, language: English, abstract: This study engaged in a thorough and analytical historical research on the activities of the Ondo State Oil Producing Areas Development Commission with a specific attention on the impact of OSOPADEC on the Development of Riverine Communities in Ondo State. The Study covered the activities of the Ondo State Oil Producing Area Development Commission (OSOPADEC) for fifteen (15) years between 2001 and 2016. Year 2001 being the year OSOPADEC was established and 2016 as the terminal date being the end of the tenure of People's Democratic Party {PDP} in Ondo State. A new political party known as All Progressive Congress (APC) took over the mantle of leadership of the state on 24th February 2017. Since the pioneer discovery of oil in Araromi in 1908, and the subsequent exploration and exploitation of the resource, the ecological and, or environmental condition of the riverine communities in Ondo State implies an impending doom. While some interest laden individual along the inroad of truth smiles to the bank on daily basis or enjoy largesse from oil exploration and exploitation from the area, communities in the riverine part of Ondo State are yet to enjoy rapid, even and sustainable development. Many of these communities lack basic social amenities such as good road network, potable water supply, adequate health facilities, power supply etc. and this horrible situation remain so till date. One then wonders, how the 13% oil derivation fund paid to the state to address developmental challenges spent? How the 40% of the 13% derivation fund committed to OSOPADEC utilized? Above all, when put up against the fund disbursed to the Commission, can the bogus claim of OSOPADEC and government on infrastructural and developmental projects in the region be said to have brought about true development vis-à-vis the standard of development expected of the commission?

Book Description
"The Niger delta region of Nigeria which is at the heart of the country's oil industry, has a long history of struggles for self-determination dating back to the early years of the 20[superscript th] century. In the 1980s and 1990s, these struggles, unfolding as they did within the context of military authoritarianism and structural adjustment, took the form of widespread agitation for greater control by local communities of the revenues accruing to the Nigerian state from exploration and extraction of oil." "This study attempts to capture the transformations in ethnic minority identity politics in the oil-producing areas of the Niger delta. In doing this, attention is simultaneously drawn to the factors informing the shift from peaceful agitation to violent protest as well as the dynamic of decay and renewal in the various ethnic minority movements that are active in the delta. It is suggested that part of the solution to the crisis in the delta will involve not only a thorough-going restructuring of the Nigerian state but also the re-orientation of the mode of operation of the giant oil multinationals in order to make them both more sensitive and accountable to the local communities."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Description
Since the beginning of 2014, reports of cult violence have increased sharply in the Nigeria's oil producing communities. Hence, we set out to examine the role of corporate social responsibility (CSR) from multinational oil companies (MOCs) in mitigating the spread of cult group violence in the region. A total of two thousand four hundred respondents were sampled across the nine states of the Niger Delta. Results from the use of estimated logit model reveal that MOCs via Global Memorandum of Understanding (GMoU) are in good position to deter the aggression and rise of cult violence using interventions for youth as a priority target group mechanism. This calls for pro-youth capacity building programmes, specially designed to equip the clusters with appropriate skills required for peaceful engagement and to complement government efforts in the planning and implementation of the development agenda for their respective communities. In turn, this will contribute towards enhancing a peaceful environment for doing business in the Niger Delta region.
