- ItemOpen AccessThe Cultural Dimension in Geography(Obafemi Awolowo University Press, 1973-03-06) Afolabi Ojo, G. J.From the time I first became actively engaged in the geographer's craft, I have often wondered at how varied are the dimensions in the discipline. I am using the word dimensions to mean perspectives or points of view. Outside the opinions held by professionals, there are certain views expressed by the layman who probably had a smattering of what is called geography in the secondary schools. The layman might have dropped the subject in class three or four shortly before starting his school certificate simply because he was unable to cope with drawing maps or interpreting contours or because he was lured away by the combination of science subjects. Although he might have become a distinguished physicist or lawyer afterwards, the questions he asks of a geographer are illustrative of what may be described, in loose terms, as the layman's perspective on the subject. Samples of such questions are: What is the altitude of Ife? Why is the harmattan lingering on till March this year? How many miles, by road, is it from here to Kaura Namoda if I choose to go by the way of lIorin, Zungeru and Funtua? Both here and elsewhere, as George Kirnble has put it, "many people still think of the geographer as a dealer in terrestrial bric-a-brac, whose social function is to provide other people with answers to quiz questions".

- ItemOpen AccessRural Poverty to Rural Prosperity: a Strategy for Development in Nigeria(Obafemi Awolowo University Press, 1973-05-08) Williams, S. K. TaiwoThe rural areas are increasingly being recognized as the key sector in many developing countries like Nigeria; and their rapid development and modernization have assumed priority objectives for many governments. I would, however, like to make it clear at the outset that the aims of rural development are not solely nor primarily economic. In trying to direct rural development, our concern must be first directed to the type of society and environment we are trying to create. In this, the economic aspects are, of course, important but they are important as a means and not as an end. In the difficult process of defining development goals, it is essential that this subsidiary status of the economic factor be remembered. Another point that should be stressed is that the rural and urban sectors form part of what must be an integrated whole. They are essentially complementary. Sustained development of the urban communities in a situation like that of our country is dependent upon expanding agricultural and rural productivity.
