... study was carried out in Ilumeje Community, Ilaje Local Government Area of Ondo State. Ondo State was created on the 3 rd of February, 1976. Its capital is Akure and covers an area of 20,595km 2 and lies between longitude 4°30 ' and 6° east of Greenwich Meridian, latitude 5°45' and 8°15 north of the equator. It Adeola 119 has a warm tropical climate. The rainy season last between April to October and the dry season start in November, ending in March. The mean temperature is 21 to 27°C. Rainfall is 2,000 mm in the southern parts and 1150 mm in the northern areas. Rainfall decreases in amount and distribution from the coast to the hinterland. The population is 3,884, 485 (1991 census). Ilaje Ese Odo Local Government is in the southern part of Ondo State. It was carved out of the defunct Okitipupa Local Government. It has a population of 93, 644 (1963 census); with about 350 to 400 towns and villages. It covers an area 7,280 km 2 . It has the southern boundary as the Atlantic Ocean. The seven villages that make up ...

... Several researchers have reported a strong relationship between women's economic empowerment and family welfare, including (Ogato, 2013). And there is a weak relationship between women's economic empowerment and business improvement (Olajide, 2016); (Potrich et al., 2015) (Filho et al., 2017). Entrepreneur orientation, characteristics of women entrepreneurs and financial decision-making, ethnic culture have been reported by several researchers (Gichuki, Mulu-Mutuku and Kinuthia, 2014) (Ramadani, 2015). ...
As highlighted on the 5 th of Sustainable Development Goals i.e.: gender equality, it is important to encourage society where woman has equal participation in all level of society including in business, especially in SMEs. Unfortunately, for Indonesian context, scientific review of the role of gender has not been reported previously. There is a drawback in revealing the topic. This study, therefore, attempts to investigate the role of Indonesian businesswoman of SMEs in triggering SMEs business success. The key indicator that will be used is entrepreneurial orientation as the independent variable and financial performance as the dependent variable. Entrepreneurial orientation (EO) involves decision-making process dealing with business innovation of a firm including SMEs. In the context of SMEs, EO playing important role in driving SMEs business success. Meanwhile, common measure to quantify SMEs business success is financial performance. The result shows that only four hypotheses accepted. EO innovation has positive impact to financial decision making and Javanese woman's financial performance. Furthermore proactive entrepreneurial orientation and financial decision making gives a positive effect to Javanese woman's financial performance.
... In quest for economic adaptations some southeastern Nigerian smallholder farmers depend largely on riverine vegetable production for a living [1]. Dry season vegetable production is their major target [2]; rivers and lakes serve as irrigation source for vegetable crop production [3]. ...
One major challenge of intensive crop production practice in riverine arears is low crop yield due to chemically infertile soils, attributed to poor soil fertility management. This study provides information on fertility status and morphology of floodplain soils using Onumirikwa Ulakwo River, Owerri, Nigeria. In three geomorphic units: (i) crest (ii) terrace and (iii) back-swamp soil was sampled from horizons of three profile pits and analyzed for physico-chemical and morphological properties. Systemic soil categorization was carried out according to USDA classification system. Results showed that Onummirikwa Ulakwo floodplain soil is characterized with sandy loam soil < 1.5 km from the water body. Soil pH, organic carbon content, available phosphorus, and cation exchange capacity were relatively low. Apart from the soil organic carbon content most of the evaluated chemical properties marginally varied in all geomorphic units. Soil aluminum content was relatively high in the back-swamp. These characteristics indicate the soil of this site is chemically infertile for crop production. Soil morphological features show that the floodplain has argillic and kandic horizons within profiles. It is freely drained with no sombric horizons and possesses progressively decreasing SOC content with depth; a clear indication of Kandiudults subgroup of soil. Based on reference soil group of the World Reference Base, the soil of this floodplain is Acrisols. Organic fertilization programmes to local farmers, who use this floodplain for crop production are recommended. keywords: acidic soils, swampy soils, vegetable production site, riverine farming.

... The socio-demographic characteristics of respondents in the study population showed that most of the participants were predominantly female, married, indigenes of Edo state in Southern Nigeria, and had up to secondary school education. Poverty and illiteracy have been identified as incapacitating forces among the rural women, who are predominantly farmers and care, plan, and process food for the household [16]. The major occupation, which is farming may be the reason for their access to the cassava leaves since they obtain the leaves at no cost. ...
The consumption of low cyanide content is not lethal but long-term intake could cause severe health problems. This study assessed the cyanide levels, proximate composition, perception and consumption pattern of cassava leaf varieties in three communities in Southern Nigeria. Fresh cassava leaf samples (TMS 01/1368, Meotoré, B693, Jokojéu, TMS 30572 and a local variety) collected from six designated farms were analyzed for free, total and bound cyanide content and questionnaires were administered to gather information on demographic features of residents, pattern of consumption, knowledge of cyanide related symptoms, diseases or benefits, and perception of its use as food. Besides the average high moisture content of the cassava leaf samples (65.66±1.31), the mean values of crude protein (27.07±0.70) and fibre (13.48±0.23) were higher than fat (7.85±0.38) and ash (8.38±0.66) contents. Fresh tender leaves showed higher cyanide values than the older leaves. The mean age of respondents who consumes the leaves was 41.5±11.1, 53.6% were farmers and 76.1% were married; while 55.6% had at least primary education. Respondents (97.1%), reported using younger tender leaves to cook, 75.5% reported using any variety to cook (regardless of the cyanogenic nature) and 48.9% used cassava leaves for herbal preparations. Farmers (86.6%) had experienced ill-health after consuming improperly processed leaves, but 15% have had a goiter family history. There are risks of cyanide related diseases / poisoning due to extensive consumption of various cassavas improperly processed leaves. Therefore, an urgent intervention is needed to protect the health of the consumers of the leaves.
