Item African research review(2019) Aneni O.MAncient and modern scholars have discussed Alexander the Great’s prowess and intelligence even as a great leader and conqueror who stood out among his contemporaries. This paper is designed to examine Alexander’s strategy in the process of administering his conquered territories. The argument being put forth here is that, while being a conqueror of nations and people, Alexander adopted stratagems to run a successful empire. The adoption of cultural diffusion was one of the strategics. Another was adopting unification policies that aided his governance of his empire. Alexander did not stop at being a mere conqueror, but his desire to unite the world seemed stronger than conquests which appeared paramount. Being properly educated and learned, lie realized that the beauty and uniqueness of the culture of his subdued subjects in various territories were not to be discarded into the waste bin of history where it may be difficult or impossible to retrieve. These strategics arc pointers to efforts of an effectual leader as enduring and vibrant as Alexander, who desired the amalgamation and prosperity of his known world. Further studies may examine the sustainability of this cultural diffusion and his unification ideology among his Diadochi.Item Research in African language and linguistics(2014) Aneni O.MClassical authors such as Livy, Marcus Aurelius, Dio Cassius have all, in their treatises on the ancient Roman society mentioned occurrences of plagues and their devastating effects on both humans and animals. In analyzing the plagues, some Modern commentaries on the Greaco-Roman world have postulated different theories and have drawn conclusions as to what these plagues actually were for ancient authors merely mentioned the diseases as plagues or epidemics. Modem authors on Ibadan have also mentioned the regular occurrences of the cholera epidemics in the city. The aim of this paper is to examine the plagues or epidemics that occurred in the Greaco-Roman world and the cholera epidemics in Ibadan. It attempts to examine factors responsible for the plagues and epidemics in both societies and the methods adopted in combating the epidemics. This paper concludes with the thrust that because the ancients were not fully conversant with these plagues, high mortality was recorded. For modern Ibadan, lack of safe water, proper sanitation and food safety among others, caused the preponderance and repeated occurrences of the cholera epidemics and its effects in Ibadan. Further studies can interrogate alternative medicine towards health care in the events of plagues and epidemics in both ancient Rome and modem IbadanItem Cultural Diffusion and The Unification Policies of Alexander the Great(2014) Aneni O.MAncient and modern scholars have discussed Alexander the Great’s prowess and intelligence even as a great leader and conqueror who stood out among his contemporaries.

These behavaiour hampered heath and other issues in the socio-cultural behavioral attitude/practices that probably led to child death. The paper adopts a methodology that is both historical and comparative highlight these factors. Sources utilized on ancient Rome were the work s of classical and contemporary authors. For modern Ibadan, information was gathered from medical literature and newswpaper reports. The data were sudjected to content analysis. This paper discovered that some social cultural practices such as child exposure and abandonment. Religious/superstitious beliefs and social deprivation caused child death in both societies.The paper concludes with the ideology that effective reorientation and propaganda are needful in Ibadan as these would help curb preventable child deathItem Nigeria and the Classic(2009) Aneni O.Mvarious factor such as diseases, superstitious beliefs, lead poisoning, infanticle, plagues, and much more can be attributed to death in antiquity, people died more from diseases than from the aforementioned factors. Such diseases included fevers (causes, tertian,quartan, and quotidian), tuberculosis, cough, dysentery, tenesmus, diarrhea, brain fever, paroxysms, opthalmia, hemipleghia stranguty, and many more .Of the above named disorders, the fevers which is malaria was the leading cause of death in antiquity. the tertian, quartan, quotidian and the irreglar fevers were frequently mentioned in the works of ancient medical practitioners such as Hippocrates, Aulus cornelius celsus, varro and pliny the Elder some contemporary authors such as david soren and robert sallares through intense reseach unraveled and procnounced plasmodium falciparum (malaria) as the cause of death of children whose bones were excavated in lugnano teverina. This paper however, considers the aforesaid fevers which are malarial in nature as the prinpal cause of death in antiquity.Item Lead poisoning in ancient Rome(2007) Aneni O.MLead, a poisonous metal is extremely toxic even in microscopic quantities. The preponderance as well as the effectiveness of this greyish metal, especially in the production of domestic, industrial and architectural applications rendered it popular among ancient Romans. It was used for the production of pots, pans and cosmetics. It was also used for the production of water pipes, and enhancing the colour and taste of wine. A school of thought links lead poisoning to the fall of the ancient Roman Empire. On the other hand, another school of thought asserts that it is untenable to suggest that lead poisoning affecting the ruling aristocrats brought about the collapse of this great empire. However, both groups agree that lead poisoning was an issue in the empire. This discourse views the importance of lead; the role it played in the productivity of the empire and aspects of lead poisoning in ancient RomeItem Women in society and security(2022) Evwierhoma, M.I.E.; Wahab, G.AItem ncessant Collapse of Buildings in Nigeria: The Possible Role of the Use of Inappropriate Cement Grade/Strength Class(2014) Agbede O.O; Ajagbe.W OThe use of low quality concrete has been identified as one of the main causes of the incessant collapse of buildings in Nigeria. Emphasis has been on the use of poor quality aggregates, poor workmanship and the use of lean concrete mix with low cement quantity as the reasons for the low quality of concrete used for building construction in Nigeria. Surveys conducted revealed that in the construction of most privately owned buildings where concrete trial mixes and concrete compressive strength quality assurance tests are not conducted, concretes used for building constructions are produced using the 1:2:4 mix ratio irrespective of the cement grade/strength class. In this paper, the possible role of the use of inappropriate cement grade/strength class as a cause of the incessant collapse of building in Nigeria is investigated. Investigation revealed that the compressive strengths of concrete cubes produced with Portland-limestone cement grade 32.5 using 1:2:4 and 1:1.5:3 mix ratios are less than the 25MPa and 30MPa cube strengths generally recommended for building superstructures and foundations respectively. Conversely, the compressive strengths of concrete cubes produced with Portland-limestone cement grade 42.5 using 1:2:4 and 1:1.5:3 mix ratios exceed the 25MPa and 30MPa generally recommended for building superstructures and foundations respectively. Thus, it can be concluded that the use of inappropriate cement grade (Portland-limestone cement grade 32.5), particularly for the construction of building foundations is a potential cause of the incessant collapse of buildings in Nigeria. It is recommended that the Standards Organisation of Nigeria should embark on creating awareness for Nigerians, particularly, the home owners and the roadside craftsmen that Portland-limestone cement grade 32.5 should not be used for the construction of building load-carrying members, particularly, building foundations in order to reduce the incessant incidence of collapsed building.
