Soil is an important resource covering the land surface. Mining is the process of getting minerals and soil components for various uses. Man depends on soil for agriculture, construction and even as a habitat for various organisms (Mwangi, 2007). People benefit from soil particularly sand and gravel but interfere and disturb the resource through excessive exploitation to fulfill their needs. There is worldwide concern about the environment which prompted the researcher to carry out this study on the environment. It seems there is excessive mining of soil components for construction in both rural and urban development. Gravel is mixed with river sand in filling and compacting foundations, river sand is a component of concrete in making slab while pit sand is required for plastering buildings. River sand is used in most mixtures because it is a strong resource which strengthens even pit sand in plastering and makes durable bricks (Morwaeng, 2013).

Benin City has one of the quality transport services in Nigeria which is located at ring road (Bobizua park) and third market (Osato park). Quality urban transport services in Benin City have been provided by public and private transport companies (Kantorovich, 2012). This has no doubt improved the socio-economic development of Benin City and Edo State large. This is evidence that transportation plays key role in the development of urban and rural areas. The role of transportation in economic development cannot be overemphasized. Transportation is the engine block of any society and hence provides room for effective socio-economic development and societal improvement (Ashenfelter and Card, 2015). According to Aweto (2015), transportation plays key role in urban development and nations building.

The main aim of the research is to determine the major causes for the recent incidence of flooding in uyo, the study made use of primary data from the information obtained from the distribution of research questionnaire. The study made use of a total population of 100. The sample of 40 was considered for the study, the data hypothesis was analyzed using the chi-square method.

The importance of this study is that it will provide us with the opportunity of studying oil exploration in Ughelli and Warri; and the major areas in Nigeria especially in the study areas seriously affected by crude oil exploitation; and take a deeper look at the effects of oil exploration on the inhabitants of Ughelli and Warri and proffer solutions to the problems identified because if problems are not properly looked into and controlled, the situation could get out of hand and this will not be too good for the inhabitants of Ughelli and Warri.

This study comparatively assessed the effect of motorcycle and tricycle (keke) on socio-economic activities in Abraka. The main focus of this study was to examine the socio-economic effect of motorcycle and tricycle mode of transportation in Abraka. A total of 100 questionnaires were distributed to the respondents in Abraka. The result of the first hypothesis indicates that there is a significant relationship between motorcycle use and socio-economic activities at the 0.05 level of confidence. The result of the second hypothesis indicates that there is a significant relationship between keke napep use and socio-economic activities at the 0.05 level of confidence. The result of the third hypothesis reveals that there is a significant difference between the socio-economic effect of motorcycle and tricycle at the 0.05 level of confidence. The study recommends that government should create job opportunities and employment for the people so as to reduce the adverse effect of motorcycle and tricycle (keke) on socio-economic activities in Abraka.

Herbs constitute an integral part of human health therefore; they are used for the treatment of several diseases. One of such popular herbal plant is Phyllanthus amarus. This herb has been in traditional medicine for over 3,000 years and has, thus, served as a lead for several experimental investigations that explored its phytochemical constituents and pharmalogical uses of herbs. So, this present study, investigates the correlation between serum levels of homocysteine and malondialdehyde in malaria infected mice treated with seed and stem extracts of Phyllanthus amarus.
