Urhobo Historical Society OUTLINE GEOGRAPHY OF URHOBOLAND By Albert Aweto, Ph.D. Professor of Geography University of Ibadan, Nigeria (January 31, 2002) URHOBOLAND AT A GLANCE Location : Western Niger Delta Area : 5000 square kilometres Population : 1.5 million Main towns : Warri, Sapele, Ughelli Climate : Humid subequatorial Natural vegetation : Rain forest/ swamp forest Minerals : Oil, natural gas Main rivers : Ethiope, Warri, Kiagbodo INTRODUCTION The Urhobo people are one of the major ethnic nationalities of the Niger delta. They live in the western part of the Niger delta, the salient features of which essentially encapsulate the geography of Urhoboland. The location of Urhoboland in a delta has not only influenced the nature of the physical environment but also the mode of life of the people. The population of Urhoboland was 1.12 million in 1991. Today, the population is about 1.5 million. Click at Map to Reveal Features LOCATION Urhoboland is located in the western part of the Niger delta , south of latitude 6 N. It is a contiguous territory of about 5000 square kilometres in the southern part of Delta State of Nigeria. It is bounded by latitudes 5

Mali Exploring Mali Africa Homepage Geographia Home A lthough it cannot compete with the major safari countries for sheer natural spectacle, Mali is a nation of unusual interest and charm. Like Egypt, Mali is a country that is intimately related to a great riverin this case, the Niger. In addition, Mali is the location of some of the continent's most interesting cultural sites. Legendary Timbuktu is located here, and in the center of the country is the magnificently dramatic Bandiagara escarpment, home to the fascinating culture of the Dogon. Mali, the largest country in West Africa, is bordered by seven other states: Algeria lies to the north and northeast, Niger to the east, Burkina Faso to the southeast and, with the Ivory Coast, to the south. On the west are Senegal and Mauritania. Mali is shaped a bit like a butterfly, leaning to the northwest, with a much smaller left than right wing. The larger northwestern region of the country, which extends into the Sahara, is almost entirely arid desert or semidesert. In the central region, known as the Sahel, life follows the Niger River's annual flood cycle, with high water between August and November. In the southwestern area, rainfall and rivers are more plentiful, and this region is marginally more lush than the rest of the country. Mali's single most important geographic feature is undoubtedly the great Niger River, which traverses both the Sahel and the southeastern section of the country. The Niger, like the Nile, is both a critical source of sustenance and a major transportation arteryand in this latter capacity it is an excellent venue for boat travel.

Facts about Niger World Facts Index Not until 1993, 33 years after independence from France, did Niger hold it's first free and open elections. A 1995 peace accord ended a five-year Tuareg insurgency in the north. Coups in 1996 and 1999 were followed by the creation of a National Reconciliation Council that effected a transition to civilian rule by December 1999.

Its greatest length from N to S is 8,000 km/5,000 mi and its breadth from Cape Verde to Ras Hafun is 7,440 km/4,623 mi. Its area, including Madagascar and the other adjacent islands, is 30,097,000 sq km/11,620,451 sq mi, or three times that of Europe. The coastline is regular, with no deep seas, bays, or river estuaries of any size to afford climatic or commercial advantages; so that in proportion to its size Africa has less coastline than any other continent, its total length being about 25,600 km/15,900 mi. Mountains: The mountains of Africa may be divided into three distinct systems: (1) the Atlas; (2) the west coast; and (3) the east coast. The Atlas Mountains occupy the northern portion between the sea and the Sahara, from Wadi Daa to Cape Bon. The eastern Atlas , 1,830-2,440 m/6,000-8,000 ft high, consist of two parallel ranges enclosing a plateau where salt lakes called chotts are found. The western Atlas , known as the Great Atlas of Morocco, have an average elevation of 3,050 m/10,000 ft, and the highest peaks are over 4,275 m/14,025 ft.

From the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts Classroom Poster The Art of Ancient Mali Geography P resent-day Mali, at nearly twice the size of Texas, is the largest country in West Africa. Mali is bordered by seven other countries: Algeria, Niger, Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, and Mauritania. Most of the northern half of Mali falls within the largest desert on the planet, the Sahara. The central section of Mali is made up of semi-arid land that is part of a larger region known as the Sahel. Sahel is an Arabic word meaning, “shore,” although, in this case, it can be thought of as the shore of the desert rather than the ocean. The Sahel is nearly 3,000 miles long and from 200 to 700 miles wide in a span across the continent of Africa. It is an area that is gradually being taken over by the southward creep of the Sahara Desert. In the southwestern region of Mali, rainfall and rivers are more plentiful and the climate is slightly more hospitable. Mali's most important geographic feature is the Niger River. The Niger River stretches over 2,500 miles through four countries: Guinea, Mali, Niger, and Nigeria. It arches up alongside the Sahara until it turns south towards the sea. Mali sits at the top of this arc, where the river spreads out and opens into an inland delta. Only about 2 percent of Mali is arable. In this dry climate, it is the Niger River that provides the main source of subsistence, providing fish, drinking water, and water for farming. Growing food in this region depends on the annual flooding of the Niger River, which has traditionally provided fertile plains along its banks.

GEOGRAPHY Nigeria Table of Contents Relief and Main Physical Features Much of Nigeria's surface consists of ancient crystalline rocks of the African Shield. Having been subject to weathering and erosion for long periods, the characteristic landscape of this area is extensive level plains interrupted by occasional granite mountains. These features form a major landscape type of Nigeria and of West Africa as a whole. There are also smaller areas of younger granites found, for example, on the Jos Plateau. Sedimentary strata dating from various periods overlay the older rocks in many areas. The sedimentary areas typically consist of flat-topped ridges and dissected plateaus and a characteristic landscape of extensive plains and no major rocky outcrops. This landscape is generally true of the basins of the Niger and Benue rivers as well as the depressions of the Chad and Sokoto basins in the far northeast and northwest of the country, respectively. The most dramatic of the sedimentary landscapes are in southeastern Nigeria, where thick sedimentary beds from the Abakaliki Uplift to the Anambra Basin have been tilted and eroded. This process has resulted in a rugged scarp land topography with east-facing cliffs at in the Udi Hills, north of Enugu, and in the area around Nanka and Agulu. Although relatively little of the Nigerian landscape has been shaped by volcanic episodes, there are two main areas of volcanic rock. They are found on the Biu Plateau in the northeast, extending into some localized volcanic areas along the eastern border with Cameroon, and on the Jos Plateau in the northern center of the country.

The degrees offered are equivalent to B.Sc and M.Sc.. 2) Scientific research The research programmes are conducted within the faculties, institutes and the high school. They are directly concerned with development questions like: nutrition deficits, staple production, environmental protection, resource management, desertification, education, economics, cultural development, human resources and human rights. A number of publications appear every year in international journals as well as the yearbook of the university itself. The Geography Department 1) Education with emphasis on field experience and in relation to the population Founded in 1973 the Geography Department has focussed the education on development related subjects. Main emphasis is on rural development, environmental protection, and demographic development in the countryside and urban centres. Recently the technical capability has been ameliorated by audio-visual equipment and GIS technologies. Four wheel drive cars are available for field research. Nowadays, the staff is completely of national origin and covers the following fields:
