The use of waste as an additional material on the building work was increasingly actively developed, such as straw, styrofoam, bagasse, cow manure. The key drivers of the use of waste is the potential for waste is increasing, due to the depletion of non-renewable resources. Papyrus rod diameter 60 cm, length 30 meters, has a volume of 5,652m3 as well as the edges of the Rods that can be used for construction with a thickness of 3 cm has a volume 0,942m3, Pith and fiber volume content of the stem 4,71m3/rod, then in one rod, there are 2 to 3 bunches each fruit bunches yield as much as 20 to 30 items for one harvest, by weight of fruit fiber 101.2 gram / fruit, Fiber characteristics are round and smooth is expected to reduce cracks in solid concrete brick and also can reduce the use of sand. This study aims to determine the compressive strength of the composition of the additional material of Rods fiber content and Fiber of palmyra fruit with a percentage 3%, 6% and 9%, mixing ratio; 1 cement and 5 sand in the manufacture of solid concrete brick. Rods fiber content used the average Ø1,031mm with a tensile strength of single fiber 39,305N / cm and fruit fiber to an average value Ø0,40mm with a tensile strength of single fiber 33,691N / cm. Making test specimen with a length of 20cm, width 10cm and thick 8cm. The test results of compressive strength after 14 days with the lowest value at 3% of additional material combination of fiber content of 6% fiber stem and fruit by 70,384Kg/cm²with a water content of 15,254% In weight position 2,935Kg as well as the highest value on the combination of additional material 0% rods fiber content and 3% fruit fiber by 98,821Kg/cm² with a water content of 15,031% In weight position 3,058Kg.

Abstract

Schools health services are procedures which are established to appraise the health status of pupils andschool personnel, counsel pupils, parents and others concerning appraisal findings, carry out follow-upservices, provide emergency care of injuries and sudden illness, help prevent and control communicablediseases and encourage the correction of remedial defects. Previous studies have shown low levels ofpositive health attitude and practices, resulting in a high prevalence of malaria, tooth decay.Gastrointestinal and skin diseases. Therefore, this study evaluated school health services in nomadicprimary schools in Southwestern Nigeria in order to identify areas needing improvement. The studyemployed descriptive survey research design. Total enumeration procedure was used to include all the1,005 nomadic primary school teachers in Southwestern Nigeria. The instrument used for the study wereobservation checklist, Focus Group Discussion Guide, and questionnaire which was validated through theuse of test-retest method with a reliability coefficient of 2.88. Five hypotheses were postulated and tested at0.05 alpha level using Binomial test. Based on the result four hypotheses were accepted while one was notaccepted as shown by the observed binomial proportion of respondents’ responses to the statements on allthe variable. The results showed that the following activities were not significantly carried out in Nomadicprimary schools in Southwestern Nigeria: health appraisal (0.2895;&lt;0.05); follow-up services (0.407;P&lt;0.05); emergency care and first aid (0.3602; P&lt;0.05). However, communicable diseases weresignificantly controlled in the school (0.6218; p&lt;0.05). It was concluded that school health services was notgiven necessary attention in nomadic primary schools in Southwestern Nigeria. Hence, it wasrecommended that for a functional school health services, the stakeholders (Federal, State, LocalGovernments and the nomadic communities) should endeavour to put in place health appraisal, healthguidance and counseling follow-up services and emergency care and first aid in nomadic primary schoolsin Southwestern Nigeria.

Abstract

Using the Speech Act Theory as propounded by Austin (1962) and articulated in Searle (1969), Cole(1975), Traugott and Pratt(1980:229), among others, the paper expatiates on how the speech actconfigurations are instantiated through the Yoruba name words. The configured Yoruba name- texts usedas data for the study are made possible through the nature of lexical complexity and loaded sociosemanticcapacities inherent in the name-words. The objective of the study, therefore, is with a view tocasting an in-dept look at what pragmatic roles the Yoruba names could perform, apart from their merebanal usage as tags for identifying the individuals. The article primarily outlines the general characteristicsof speech acts in discourse and also discusses the structural contents of Yoruba names in order todetermine the extent of their participation in the various name words in the language discourse. Theprimary sources were the names collected from the Voters Registration Cards obtained from theIndependent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Offices in the South- western geo-political zone ofNigeria, where speakers of the Yoruba language originated. The data was supplemented by theintrospection of the author as a native speaker of the language, oral interviews and library sources. Thestudy found that the characterisation of speech acts could be gleaned from the socio-cultural foundationswhich underlie the fabrication of the name-words as they license gratitude, questioning ,solitude,condolence ,apology, reports, denial, summon, declaration, etc. in their pragmatic imports .It is thereforeconcluded that the Yoruba Personal Names(YPNs) can be pragmatically differentiated from the personalnames in the western cultural contexts on the bases that YPNs posses packaged-information which makethem able to perform hosts of discourse roles in communication ,apart from their being a template ofsentence and an encyclopaedia where one can glean the Yoruba view-points on ethical values ,beliefs andhistory, cultural identities, genealogy ,fauna and floral.

Abstract

This paper seeks to enumerate the search for excellence in Science Education, using the African experienceas its focal point. Science education in independent sub-Saharan Africa has been shaped by policies andpractices which owe allegiances to the colonial masters. All these nations strive to achieve scientific andtechnological knowledge. There is need to shift from the moribund, dogmatic and unimaginative curriculato alternatives that have definite and dynamic objectives based on the child as a potential citizen and askilled individual. Scientific knowledge has gone through several stages and revolutions from timeimmemorial up to these modern times. An understanding of the growth and changing nature of scientificideas helps to clarify some of the problems confronting Science education in modern times especially inAfrica. Scientific knowledge has increased both in quantity and in quality, so that old patterns of thoughthave been modified in ways that have caused profound changes in people’s views of natural phenomena.The search for excellence in Science education started with the desire for scientific literacy advocated by theuse of good Science education programmes in Africa. The aim was to ameliorate the unscientific cultureimbibed traditionally. Hence, the paper harped on education in Africa, objectives of education in Africa,objectives of science education in Africa, emergence of modern science education in Africa, attendantproblems of science education, and the need for relevant agencies to strive for excellence in scienceeducation in Africa.

Abstract

The improvement of the teachers for public examination administration, sees the teachers as the insiderand fulcrum around, which the pendulum of teaching, learning and examination revolves. The myriad ofproblems besetting the conduct of the public examination can greatly be reduced when the (loce-inparenti) of the examination is adequately prepared to solve the institutionally grown problems of publicexamination. The malpractices that pervade the conducts: the endemic problems of funding, shortage ofstaff, large enrolments in examination, poor instructional facilities, and many more notwithstanding, theteacher when sufficiently endowed and empowered can surmount the gargantuan and hydra-headedproblems of public examination administration as we approach the 2020 vision challenges. Some solutionsas a way forward were proffered in this study.

Abstract

The arbitrary and haphazard territorial boundaries imposed by the colonial powers in the last twocenturies or so did not take cognizance of the people’s diversities before differentiating Nigeria and othersub-Saharan African states. As a result, the geo-political enclave now known as a country encompassespeople with varying linguo-cultural identities. This has continued to have far reaching effects on the socioeconomicpotentials of the nation. It is further argued that the post-independence Nigeria’s slow pace onthe road of progress is largely due to the non-participation of the Nigerian mono-lingual majority in thesocio-economic and political affairs of the nation. This is either as a result of the non-availability, nonutilizationor defective language policy, or its absence, that is geared towards the use of mother-tongues.This paper, however contends that positive results can still be gleaned from the resourceful utilization andpositive involvements of the Nigerian factors despite her multilingualism. An empirical survey on the areaof activities where English domination is mostly manifested was conducted among some secondary schoolslocated in the south western part of Nigeria. It was found that European influence had continued to haveseries of devastating effects on the self actualization ethos of the nation because wealth of indigenousknowledge was being locked away in the local languages and was gradually being lost as the custodians ofthese knowledge passed on. It is conclusively posited, therefore, that sustainable developments of theNigerian individual and society only reside in turning a new leaf to the involvement of mother-tongues inthe production and consumption of the world knowledge.

Abstract

The 21st Century has observed an increase transformation on the basis of economy and social patterns. Thechallenging of education is now prepared for the future, not for the present. The changing environment oflearning is related to competencies and skills rather than in particular subjects and theories. How to teachwhat is not present yet? Why education must be profoundly related both to Information andCommunication Technology and human ethnic? This paper is dedicated to highlight some of these points,bringing some reflections regarding these topics about the relationship between Africa and Latin America,especially Brazil.

Abstract

Knowledge refers to the possession of information, facts, ideas, truth or principles. The imparting andacquiring of knowledge through teaching and learning refer to education. The nucleus of education isknowledge. A well directed education is the process that yields knowledge. Engineering is the application ofscience in the design, planning, construction and maintenance of manufactured entity while Engineeringeducation is the training of engineers for the purpose of initiating, facilitating and implementing thetechnological development of a Nation. Engineering uses scientific ideas to develop technology buttechnology provides the ingredient for Engineering. Technical education engenders formal preparation ofTechnicians for occupations between the skilled trades and the professions based on underlying sciencesand supporting mathematics as well as methods, skills, materials, and processes of a specialized field oftechnology. In this work, the roles of these tier of education in the development of a nation was discussedin relation to the existing developmental efforts made towards achieving technological advancement inNigeria. It is hoped that the policy makers in Nigeria will find the paper useful for the betterment of hoipolloi by charting a course of developing the entity called Nigeria through well-found technical,technological and engineering education.
