Effects of climate change on residential properties in Wemabod Estate, Ikeja, Lagos State, Nigeria Nkolika J. Peter, Hilary I. Okagbue, Mofetoluwa G. Adelowo, Olugbemisola W. Samuel, Chukwuemeka O. Iroham, et al. Frontiers in Sustainable Cities, 2024 The real estate sector is significantly impacted by climate change, with effects ranging from increasing risks of flooding and wildfires to shifting demand for certain types of property. These impacts influence insurance prices, property maintenance procedures, and the overall desirability of specific homes. While climate risk is acknowledged in the financial industry, its implications for the commercial and residential real estate sector are mostly studied in developed countries, with limited research in developing countries like Nigeria. This study attempts to fill this gap by exploring the potential impacts of climate change on residential properties in Lagos State, Nigeria, using Wemabod properties as a case study. The methodology involved analyzing primary data collected from residents of Wemabod Estate, Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria, with purposive sampling used to recruit 100 participants due to absence of reliable census data. Data analysis was conducted using mean rank, t-test, and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Findings showed that most respondents demonstrated a good level of awareness about climate change. Analysis revealed that residential characteristics such as age, gender, level of education, and knowledge level of climate risk significantly influenced residents’ climate change coping and adaptation strategies, with notable mean differences in knowledge and perception based on these factors. The major perceived effects of climate change included extreme heat and flooding, followed by strong winds and irregular rainfall, leading to property impacts such as peeling paint, wall cracks, roof leakage, foundation shake, and burst pipes. These findings indicate that extreme heat and flooding are the primary climate change manifestations affecting residential properties in Lagos State. Property owners should implement measures to protect against these effects, regularly inspect and maintain their properties, consider climate risk in their insurance and maintenance plans, and stay informed about climate change impacts. This study underscores the need for further research on climate change’s impact on real estate in developing countries to better understand and mitigate these risks.
Three attributes determining land values in three selected housing estates in Uyo, Nigeria Chukwuemeka O. Iroham, Hilary I. Okagbue, Inimfon F. Ekanem, Nkolika J. Peter, Olugbemisola W. Samuel, et al. Frontiers in Sustainable Cities, 2024 There is a knowledge gap regarding the specific attributes (location-specific, environmental, and neighborhood) that impact land value, the relationship among these attributes, and the degree of impact on the land values in residential estates in Uyo, Nigeria. The three factors all combine to create a unique picture of a place, impacting its desirability and ultimately, its land value. This study explores the relationship between various land value attributes within specific residential estates (Ewet Housing Estate, Shelter Afrique Estate, and Akwa-Ima Estate) in Uyo. A questionnaire was designed and used to solicit data from the respondents living in the three estates with the aid of the purposive sampling technique. The findings revealed the following: Closeness to school is the location-specific attribute that contributes the most to land value, and closeness to recreational centers contributes the least. The presence of security and police stations had the most significant contribution to land value, and the presence of noise in the neighborhood had the least significant contribution. Peace, quiet, and beauty had the most significant contribution to land value, and the presence of lakes and water bodies in the environment contributed the least to land value. The factor analysis yielded two major factors for location-specific attributes: ‘transport’ and ‘place’. The factor analysis grouped the neighborhood attributes into two factors: ‘easily controlled’ and ‘not easily controlled’. All three attributes of land values are positively correlated with one another. Implications for research and recommendations were made.
Residential mobility and its effect on voter turnout in Surulere, Lagos, Nigeria O.O. Ajakaiye, F.E. Anumudu, A.O. Akinola, H.I. Okagbue, N.J. Peter Iop Conference Series Earth and Environmental Science, 2022 The study is aimed at assessing the effect of residential mobility on voter turnout or electoral participation, by exploring: the average distance between a polling unit and voter residence and the relationship between residential mobility and voter turnout in Alaka LSDPC Estate, Surulere Local Government Area. The study targeted a population of residents who moved into the neighborhood between 2015 to 2019 general elections, employed a hundred percent sample size, considering the marginal figure of 36 families and the sampling technique adopted was the snowballing and purposive. For data analysis, descriptive statistics were used for the average distance between a polling unit and voter residence, and ANOVA and linear regression were used to analyze the relationship between residential mobility and voter turnout. The current study found out that there is a significant relationship between residential mobility and voter turnout, as the average distance between a polling unit and a voter’s residence is greater than 20 km which implies that it is very far and inaccessible. Residential mobility indeed affects voter participation, with a P = 0.001 value and R2 value of 0.513 (51.3%). It is recommended that residential mobility be considered in electoral policies, laws, initiatives, and programs by the electoral body to ensure total inclusion.
Fire Risk Exposure and Preparedness of Peri-Urban Neighbourhoods in Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria O.C. Oloke, O.A. Oluwunmi, K.D. Oyeyemi, C.A. Ayedun, N.J. Peter Iop Conference Series Earth and Environmental Science, 2021 This study assessed the exposure of urban neighbourhoods to environmental hazards generally and fire risk in particular in Ibadan. Lagelu, a rapidly urbanizing local government area was selected for the study with emphasis on Lagelu West Local Development Council. Relevant literatures were review in this regards while structured questionnaires were administered on adult residents of 320 households in the selected peri-urban communities. Respondents opinion were obtained as regards the susceptibility of their communities to different environmental hazards. Data was also obtained from the respondents on the causes/sources of fire risk in their respective neighbourhoods as well as adequacy of fire safety apparatus in the communities. Data were measured on 5-Point likert scale of strongly agreed (5) to strongly disagree (1). Response were analysed with basic tools of mean score, relative importance and interpreted based on cut-off point (as devised in Morenikeji, 2006). The causes of fire and adequacy of community fire safety apparatus were analysed in percentages and presented in tables and bar charts. The study showed that there is a general consensus that the communities are highly vulnerable to the environmental risks identified in the study. It was also revealed that fire outbreak is principally caused by human activities, negligence as well as faulty electrical equipment and power surge. Respondents generally are of the opinion that fire safety apparatus available in the communities are grossly inadequate thereby compounding the vulnerability predicament of these communities. The study therefore recommends amongst others, upgrade of the community road network, provision of firefighting system within the neigbhourhood and enlightenment of residents on fire safety precautions.

Demographic characteristics and the attraction to facilities in shopping malls: A case of Ibadan, Nigeria Chukwuemeka Iroham Journal of Advanced Research in Dynamical and Control Systems, 2020 --- The paper aimed at determining the demographic features of customers in shopping mall that are prone to be attracted by facilities in the malls. The five shopping malls in Ibadan, Nigeria were studied. The research which is a cross-sectional survey adopted the intercept approach to customers resulting to the distribution of 143, 126, 127, 145 and 126 shoppers of the respective malls. A response rate of over 80% was attained and data collected was analysed using the weighted mean and confirmation test on the significance of result was achieved using the Chi-Square test of significance at 95% confidence level. Out of the four demographic features studied, it was discovered that only gender had significant result as females were more likely to be attracted to facilities provided in shopping malls than their male counterpart. The researchers hereby advocated gender sensitivity in erecting facilities in malls as that might enhance patronage.
Entrepreneurial characteristics of principal partners of architectural firms in Lagos, Nigeria Adedapo A Oluwatayo Journal of Advanced Research in Dynamical and Control Systems, 2020 Very few studies have investigated entrepreneurial characteristics of principal architects, who venture out on their own, rather than practice under established organizations. The research was done to determine and quantify the entrepreneurial characteristics of the principal partners of architectural firms in Lagos, Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey of 92 principal partners of architectural firms in Lagos State, carried out in March 2018 and Questionnaires were used in obtaining the data. Results from the analyzed data showed that there is a correlation between the entrepreneurial characteristics of principal partner and the performance of their firms in that their leadership skill and prowess have a direct influence on their firms. This, however, does not necessarily result in a better outcome in all measures of performance investigated. This is because the two entrepreneurial characteristics only affect the ability of the firms to expand. The recommendation, therefore, is that architecture schools should include leadership training and capacity building programs to produce effective contemporary architects who consequently will lead a successful firm, thus bringing repute to the field of architecture. This research can also be implemented on a large scale in other fields for comparative analysis.
