| lagos overpopulation: African Environments and Resources L. A. Lewis, L. Berry, 2012-07-26 First published in 1988, this work provides a comprehensive picture of the range of physical environments in Africa, focusing upon those characteristics and issues central to the management of environmental resources. Beginning with an overview of the geographical and environmental history of Africa, the authors also provide to the evolution of the management of resources and then details a broadly defined ecosystem approach, in which major environmental resource issues are identified and addressed in the tropical rainforest, the Savannah dry-forest, the arid and semi-arid areas, the highlands, and the extra-tropical zones of Northern and Southern Africa. The book is designed to contribute to a better understanding of African environmental and resource-management problems and this reissue should be welcomed by students of Africa and of environmental resource management problems in general. |

| lagos overpopulation: Mediascapes of Ruined Geographies in the Global South Diego Granja do Amaral, A. Chukwudumebi Obute, 2023-08-15 This book undertakes an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural interrogation of the Global South through the prisms of media and cultural studies. It closely explores the quotidian (re)territorialization, and brazen ruination of the material geographies of this vast expanse of the world by forces and proxies of (neo)colonialism and global capitalism of resource extraction. We cite the ongoing expulsion of Palestinians from their homelands by occupational forces, the emerging detritus dump across Mexico City and Lagos, the infrastructural precariousness of the favelas of Brazil, the unending resource-war in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), and the flagrant operation of the oil industry in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria as examples of this geographic cataclysm. The centripetal forces of neo-colonialism and resource extraction at full-flight in the Global South, aided by toxic hegemonic forces, have overtly tossed some of the population to the peripheries of existence and the society at large. As such, this book, additionally, explores the resistance of the subalterns from the margins to this socio-political malaise, and further unmasks the knowledge production from these margins of the Global South. This project is divided into five (5) parts of three essays each. The first part examines the territorial contestation in the Middle East framed and expressed through films and literary lenses. The second part examines the environmental burden of modern consumerism and urbanization on metropolis across Mexico, Brazil, and Nigeria, while the third part explores the attritional violence of resource extraction in the DRC, Brazil, and Nigeria via filmic and journalistic lenses. The fourth part offers a swift response from the margins through ethnographic and journalistic interrogation of the subjectivity of the subalterns of Brazilian favelas, and street artists. The fifth part offers an engaging critique of the political climates of South Africa and Brazil that reinforce the environmental catastrophe of the regions of the world. |
| lagos overpopulation: Tales of the Vibrant Cities of Africa MD Sharr, 101-01-01 Tales of the Vibrant Cities of Africa is a journey through the continent’s diverse urban centers, exploring their rich histories, cultural identities, and evolving futures. This book presents African cities as living stories, shaped by geography, tradition, and human spirit. From ancient hubs like Cairo and Timbuktu to modern giants like Lagos and Nairobi, each city reflects Africa’s complexity—where the old meets the new, and tradition walks alongside progress. The book delves into the social, economic, and ecological forces that mold these cities, revealing both the challenges of inequality and rapid urbanization, and the resilience and creativity of their people. Through personal stories and historical reflections, it highlights the vibrant cultures, linguistic diversity, and communal strength that define African city life. These cities are not just centers of population—they are cradles of dreams, innovation, and shared human experiences, offering a powerful glimpse into Africa’s dynamic role on the global stage. |

| lagos overpopulation: A Swamp Full of Dollars Michael Peel, 2010-07-01 The largest U.S. trading partner in sub-Saharan Africa, petroleum-rich Nigeria exports half its daily oil production to the United States. Like many African nations with natural resources coveted by the world's superpowers, the country has been shaped by foreign investment and intervention, conflicts among hundreds of ethnic and religious groups, and greed. Polio has boomed along with petroleum, small villages face off with giant oil companies, and scooter drivers run their own ministates. The oil-rich Niger Delta region at the heart of it all is a trouble spot as hot as the local pepper soup. Blending vivid reportage, history, and investigative journalism, in A Swamp Full of Dollars journalist Michael Peel tells the story of this extraordinary country, which grows ever more wild and lawless by the day as its refined petroleum pumps through our cities. Through a host of colorful characters--from the Area Boy gangsters of Lagos to a corrupt state governor who stashed money in his London penthouse, from the militants in their swamp forest hideouts to oil company executives--Peel makes the connection between Western energy consumption and the breakdown of the Nigerian state, where the corruption of the haves is matched only by the determination and ingenuity of the have-nots. What has happened to Nigeria is a stark warning to the United States and other economic powers as they grow increasingly frantic in their search for new oil sources: unbridled plunder eventually rebounds on those who have done the taking. A Swamp Full of Dollars--shortlisted for the Guardian First Book Award--shows that if the Arab world is the precarious eastern battle line in an intensifying world war for crude, then Nigeria has become the tumultuous western front. |

| lagos overpopulation: Bracket 3 Lola Sheppard, 2022-03-18 Bracket [at Extremes] includes critical articles and unpublished design projects that investigate architecture, infrastructure and technology as they operate in conditions of imbalance, negotiate tipping points and test limit states. We are conditioned, as designers of the built environment, towards the organization of people, programs and movement. Indeed the history of modern urbanism, architecture and building science has been predicated on an anti-entropic notion of programmatic and social order. But are there scenarios in which a state of extremity or imbalance is productive? Bracket [at Extremes] seeks to understand what new spatial orders emerge in this liminal space. How might it be leveraged as an opportunity for invention? What are the limits of wilderness and control, of the natural and artificial, the real and the virtual? What new landscapes, networks, and urban models might emerge in the wake of destabilized economic, social and environmental conditions? |

| lagos overpopulation: Palm of the Rainforest Ikénnà Nn?l?, 2020-08-28 I know who I am Kelvin seemed desperate to win his father’s approval. However, Mr Eze not only seemed unwilling to bestow it, but hell bent in making life unbearable for his acclaimed son. Kelvin thought it would be best to find his true family rather than endure the torture of being the unwanted child. He realised that his quest for recognition was unlikely to succeed, so he set his eyes on freedom. In the meantime, Kelvin expected that a good academic performance would change his luck and put him right with Mr Eze or at least boost his confidence in his abilities. With all his attention on his studies, competing for the best grades against the leading brains in his class, especially Christian, an indomitable rival, he would not let school romance get in the way fo his goal. But slowly and steadily, Chioma, gained his trust and won him over. He would have to make a decision between holding on to his moral principle or satisfying his human desire for friendship. New Home, New Identity Marginalised and decimated, the Biafran people were forced to go to war and secede from Nigeria. But decades after losing the war and embracing the Nigerian identity, they are still not treated as equal citizens in their home country. As a new wave of terrorism sweeps the northern parts of the country, the Biafran people, predominantly Igbo are again decimated as they have been for decades in every crises and this led to renewed discussions about their independence. For Biafra, the fight for equality was over and their Sovereignty was not negotiable. For Kelvin, it wasn’t very different, and so his quest for truth and independence must begin. His compulsory holiday in Igbo land would expose him to the truth that might have indirectly caused him to abandon his academic pursuit. Perhaps, it was just an excuse to free himself from the clutch of Mr Eze and begin his quest for the truth about his identity. |

| lagos overpopulation: Responsible Reproductive Choice in the 21st Century Malcolm de Roubaix, 2023-01-05 This book systematically traces the development, significance, and implications of female reproductive choice. Paramount is the right to safe termination of pregnancy (TOP). In the USA, these rights are under threat after the reversal of Roe v Wade (1973), confirming the eternally contested nature of the pro-life/pro-choice standoff. The approach is unique and from all angles – historical, social, emotional, and legal. South African experience is evaluated against a global backdrop. Arguing from an ethics of responsibility, the book presents a justified, balanced, rational, and moderate position on the moral acceptability of TOP. It proposes that the morality TOP be evaluated by balancing inherent foetal moral significance against contingent potentiality: context and circumstance that may determine foetal development. TOP is a choice a woman faces with each pregnancy. It always has moral implications – exclusive to the life of the woman. So, too, do continued pregnancy and parenthood, but these are of greater magnitude and duration. |

| lagos overpopulation: Nature, Environment, and Activism in Nigerian Literature Sule E. Egya, 2020-03-24 Nature, Environment, and Activism in Nigerian Literature is a critical study of environmental writing, covering a range of genres and generations of writers in Nigeria. With a sustained concentration on the Nigerian experience in postcolonial ecocriticism, the book pays attention to textual strategies as well as distinctive historicity at the heart of the ecological force in contemporary writing. Focusing on nature, the environment, and activism, the author decentres African ecocriticism, affirming the eco-social vision that differentiates environmental writing in Nigeria from those of other nations on the continent. The book demonstrates how Nigerian writers, beyond connecting themselves to the natures of their communities, respond to ecological problems through indigenous literary instrumentalism. Anchored on the analytical concepts of nature, environment, and activism, the study is definitive in foregrounding the contribution of Nigerian writing to studies in ecocriticism at continental and global levels. This book will be of interest to scholars of African and Postcolonial literature, ecocriticism, and the environmental humanities. |

| lagos overpopulation: The Disconnected Crowd: Unraveling Social Isolation Amidst Urban Congestion Brandy Kelly, In some of the world's busiest cities, where any given block is jam-packed with people and an endless buzz of activity, there exists a profound sense of loneliness—a peculiar paradox. This book delves into the deep labyrinth of social isolation in densely populated areas, shedding light on its perplexing nature. Through meticulous investigation and compelling anecdotes, it explores the complex relationship between crowded spaces and the alienation that so often accompanies them. Within the pages of this book, the reader is confronted with the stark reality of a society grappling with the effects of social isolation. Surrounded by immense throngs of individuals, people find themselves feeling estranged, disconnected, and stranded in a sea of strangers. How is it that in a world teeming with inhabitants, we can still feel utterly alone? Through comprehensive research, the author deciphers the myriad contributing factors to this growing dilemma. From the digital age's emphasis on virtual connections to the erosion of community ties, the mechanisms behind social isolation in crowded spaces are uncovered. The book delves into how the human landscape has transformed, leading to a disintegration of meaningful face-to-face interactions and a rise in superficial exchanges. |
| lagos overpopulation: Rise Of Megacities, The: Challenges, Opportunities And Unique Characteristics Jerzy Kleer, Katarzyna Anna Nawrot, 2018-02-13 Megacities of over 10 million inhabitants are unique entities in their own right, both challenging and supporting the policies, governance and cohesion of states. In developing and developed economies, the rise of megacities can be seen to have negative and positive effects; from exacerbating and deepening societal problems inherent in inequality and poverty, to increasing opportunities for innovation, education, interconnectivity and development.The Rise of Megacities takes a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approach to analysis of their growth. It examines both the major new challenges that the expansion of megacities brings for development at large, and the opportunities they might create for the public good. In addition, it shows how more established cities, such as Tokyo, New York or European examples can provide lessons for governance and development of rapidly urbanizing populations. Using case studies and academic theory it takes into account both the similarities and differences of megacities and gives a comprehensive study of them. This book is perfect for students and researchers of development economics, urban studies, international relations and the social sciences, as well as those interested in how the world economy is changing through globalization. |

| lagos overpopulation: Environmental Transformations Ernest N. Emenyonu, 2020 Investigates what literary strategies African writers adopt to convey the impact of climate transformation and environmental change. This special issue examines the ways fiction and poetry engage with environmental consciousness, and how African literary criticism addresses the implications of global environmental transformations. Does environmentalist literature offer new possibilities for critical thinking about the future? What constitutes environmentalist fiction and poetry? What kind of texts, themes and topics does climate writing include? Does any text in which the environment features become available to environmentalist criticism? In their engagement with the diverse genres, themes and frameworks through which contemporary African writers address topics including urbanisation, cross-species communication, nature and climate change, contributors to this special issue help to define African environmental writing. They look at the literary strategies adopted by creative writers to convey the impact of environmental transformationin narratives that are historically informed by a century of colonialism, nationalist political activism, urbanisation and postcolonial migration. How does environmental literature intervene in these histories? Can creative writers, with their powerfully post-human and cross-species imaginations, carry out the ethical work demanded by contemporary climate science? From Tanure Ojaide's and Helon Habila's attention to environmental decimation in the Niger Delta through to Nnedi Okorafor's and Kofi Anyidoho's imaginative cross-species encounters, the special issue asks how literature mediates the specificities of climate change in an era of global capitalism and technological transformation, and what the limits of creative writing and literary criticism are as tools for discussing environmental issues. This volume also includes a Literary Supplement.

| lagos overpopulation: Capital Cities: Varieties and Patterns of Development and Relocation Vadim Rossman, 2018-03-12 The issue of capital city relocation is a topic of debate for more than forty countries across the world. In this first book to discuss the issue, Vadim Rossman offers an in-depth analysis of the subject, highlighting the global trends and the key factors that motivate different countries to consider such projects, analyzing the outcomes and drawing lessons from recent capital city transfers worldwide for governments and policy-makers. Capital Cities studies the approaches and the methodologies that inform such decisions and debates. Special attention is given to the study of the universal patterns of relocation and patterns specific to particular continents and mega-regions and particular political regimes. The study emphasizes the role of capital city transfers in the context of nation- and state-building and offers a new framework for thinking about capital cities, identifying six strategies that drive these decisions, representing the economic, political, geographic, cultural and security considerations. Confronting the popular hyper-critical attitudes towards new designed capital cities, Vadim Rossman shows the complex motives that underlie the proposals and the important role that new capitals might play in conflict resolution in the context of ethnic, religious and regional rivalries and federalist transformations of the state, and is seeking to identify the success and failure factors and more efficient implementation strategies. Drawing upon the insights from spatial economics, comparative federalist studies, urban planning and architectural criticism, the book also traces the evolution of the concept of the capital city, showing that the design, iconography and the location of the capital city play a critical role in the success and the viability of the state. |
