Female genital mutilation: Conditions of decline
Sexual Networking, Use of Condoms, and Perception of STDs and HIV/Aids Transmission Among Migrant Sex Workers in Lagos, Nigeria
Across Nigeria, attitudes towards female sexuality vary among ethnic and reli gious groups. Some ethnic and religious groups are punitive in their pursuit of even discreet female sexual transgressions, while male sexual transgressions have always been taken for granted. In certain parts of Nigeria, women have some de gree of freedom and a substantial degree of equality with men, while in some parts, especially in the north, where the majority are…
Male and female circumcision in Africa from a regional to a specific Nigerian examination
Perceived male sexual needs and male sexual behaviour in southwest Nigeria
African women's control over their sexuality in an era of Aids
Diffusion and Focus in Sexual Networking: Identifying Partners and Partners' Partners
This article describes the second stage of a research project on sexual networking that aims to further understanding of the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS in Ondo State, Nigeria. A sample of 488 males aged 15-50 were interviewed in depth to ascertain (1) the numbers and characteristics of their sexual partners, (2) the numbers and characteristics of the partners of those partners, and (3) the extent to which these relations…
The Family and Sexual Networking in Sub-Saharan Africa: Historical Regional Differences and Present-Day Implications
The geographical pattern of the AIDS epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa suggests the possibility of different contemporary regional patterns of sexual networking which originated in different historical patterns. Because sexual behaviour is inadequately reported by the oral tradition, this paper concentrates on nineteenth-century contemporary accounts and twentieth-century reconstructions with the older population. It relates sexual behaviour to othe…
Underreaction to Aids in Sub-Saharan Africa
Fertility Decline in Africa: A New Type of Transition
Botswana Zimbabwe and Kenya appeared in 1990 to be experiencing fertility declines of 15-25% and there is some 1991 evidence that parts of Nigeria experienced fertility declines of over 10%. These trends are in contrast to the widely held belief that sub-Saharan Africa is the only region in the world not experiencing fertility transition. The nature of the African fertility transition is characterized and the reasons for resistance to fertility d…
Sexual Networking in the Ekiti District of Nigeria
The confirmation of a significant number of HIV-positive persons and some deaths due to AIDS in Nigeria has rendered more urgent the study of sexual networking, both for an understanding of the risk of HIV transmission and also that of sexually transmitted diseases, which may serve as a vehicle for HIV infection. This article reports on a research project that concentrated initially on developing both small-scale survey and anthropological method…
The Destabilization of the Traditional Yoruba Sexual System
Ekiti Yoruba society in Nigeria is characterized like many African societies by high levels of polygyny necessitating a late age of male marriage and by a long duration of postpartum female sexual abstinence. Thus about three-quarters of postpubertal males have no current access to a wife for sexual activity in a society that does not enforce male continence. The contemporary solution is a high level of male premarital and extramarital sexuality …
The Reproductive Role of the Human Breast [and Comments and Reply]
Like that of many other mammals, our rate of reproduction is related to the carrying capacity of our habitat, and throughout our history low lifetime fertility has been advantageous. The most important determinant of lifetime fertility is the interbirth interval, and the major variable in this interval is the duration of postpartum anovulation due to breast-feeding. The need for a long birth interval is accentuated by our immaturity at birth and …
Primary health care in developing countries: The case of Nigeria, Sri Lanka and Tanzania
Abstinence as a Method of Birth Control: Fertility and Childspacing Practices Among Rural Yoruba Women of Nigeria
Sexual abstinence patterns in rural Western Nigeria: Evidence from a survey of Yoruba women
The impact of public health services on mortality: A study of mortality differentials in a rural area of Nigeria
An attempt was made to measure the effect of providing health services in rural Nigeria by selecting two communities matched so as to be as similar as possible in culture, socio-economic characteristics, the supply of water and the disposal of human wastes, but contrasting in the provision of health services. One centre had enjoyed the services of a doctor and a well-staffed hospital for over a decade, while the other was over ten kilometres from…
