Everyone is aware of space and place, of change over time and since everything exists in space and time, population is not an exception. This paper examines the influences of time on population growth and space. The study adopts both descriptive and quantitative statics and relied on secondary data source as a major means of data collection. The findings reveal that there is positive relationship between population growth and time and population density varies from area to area within the state. The practical implication of this study is that it provides an answer to whether population varies over time and space. Over the years Ondo state has witnessed increase in population. The implication of this increase in population in relation to space is overpopulation resulting to congestion in areas that are densely populated.
This paper presents the results of study conducted on women in Edo state, Nigeria. It probes into the nature, determinant and prevalence of domestic violence against women in the area of Female Genital Mutilation. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, case studies and survey. A sample size of three hundred and seventy-seven was selected for the survey. The result indicate that although prevalence of FGM is not very high in the state, however the practice is still commonly done and the women are not in position to decide in most cases on whether to have FGM done or not. To contain the prevalence of FGM the use of formal and informal channels of education to re-orientate the populace is strongly suggested. This will help to ensure attitudinal and cultural change towards FGM. In addition, there is need for policies that will genuinely protect women against FGM.
