The title of this project is “Impact of U Ovwain Community in Udu Local Governmentthis

 

objective, the study made use of the survey method which involved personal interview and administration of questionnaires on respondents in Ovwain Community and the aim of this exercise was to obtain the data needed for the successful execution of the study. The study made use of table to analyse the data collected from a random sampling of respondents. It also used the simple percentage to analyse the data. The study reveals that Community Newspaper (Urhobo Voice) have impact on Development. It has been able to establish that the Urhobo Voice as a community Newspaper has helped in improving the standard living of the Ovwain people in their community. The study urges both government and private individual to emulate the publisher of the Urhobo Voice by establishing more community newspaper in the rural areas to enable development take place. Finally, the study recommends the granting of soft loans by the government to interested individual to establish newspapers in the rural areas. This with a view to encourage private ownership of the mass media.

CHAPTER ONE

 

 

INTRODUCTION

 

• Background Of The Study

 

A community newspaper is that paper established in the rural area with the basic

 

aim of bringing development closer to the grassroots. A community newspaper should b e community in outlook reporting the activities of the community to the outside world. It is also a veritable medium through which the people are informed about government policies and programmes. To this end, it could be rightly said that a community newspaper has significant impact on national development since effective development of any nation commences from the grassroots.

 

Igwe (1991:175) agrees with the above po community newspaper serves the information need of a particular locality. Such papers

 

should not be mistaken for provincial papers such as the Calabar-based pioneer. These have a wider coverage and circulation range beyond state boundaries.

 

The origin of community newspapers in Nigeria could be traced to 1859 when

 

Reverend Henry Townsend established the first newspaper   knowniin   as   “Iwe

 

Abeokuta. According to Akinfeleye (1985:28), which launching the maiden issue of Iwe

 

Irohin, Reverend Townsend said: “my object is to the habit of seeking information by reading

This statement could be interpreted to mean that the aim and objective behind the establishment of the Irohin was for the Egba people to seek information from their environment by reading newspaper.

 

Initially, Iwe Irohin was published fortnight in Yoruba Language and later in both Yoruba and English Languages. It has eight pages with four pages in Yoruba languages and another four supplementary pages in English Language translating the Yoruba version of it.

 

Akinfeleye (1985:29) throws more light on Iwe Irohin when he says:

 

 

 

 

 

“In January 1866,Iwe Irohim for the firs editions-one in Yoruba language and the other entirely in English language. It continued

 

with two separate editions until these 1867 when it temporally ceased publication as a

 

result of civil disruption (IFOLE) betweenashort the Iba while, Iwe Irohim resumed publication through under a new management but some title

 

and flag”

 

Akinfeleye also points out that in the beginning the news coverage of Iwe Irohim was limited in scope. For instance, it carried only religious news items such as news transfer of preachers from one parish or location to another, coronations of pastors or preachers, weddings, baptisms, confirmations and the like. It later expanded its news coverage and began to run non-religions news in addition to religious items. It began to carry stories and news about trade and commerce, exhibitions, sports, health, hygienic, educational and other news items of national significance.

fIwe Irohin was particularly informative in its presentation of up-to-date information about schedules of arrivals and departures of slip, cargoes from and to European countries. Crimes reports, nudity, immoral news abstract, alcoholic promotion and the like were unacceptable to the paper.

 

Akinfeleye concludes by saying that one of the uniqueness of Iwe Irohin is that, it is still the only native language newspaper in the continent of Africa that has lived for over 120 years without any major prolonged stoppage. Today in Nigeria, copies of Iwe Irohin (though how under another management, but same title) can still be found on sale in several Nigerian newsstands particularly in the southern state of Nigeria. Most of its contemporaries have been closed or ceased publication.

 

Igwe (1991:176) says that “moreIweIrohin,than 20 three other community newspaper came up in “the Lagos Times” and “ThepublishedLagosthepre- standard”. independence socio-political conditions in Nigeria. For this reason, they could have been mistaken for national newspaper. But they w

 

 

 

 

After the demise of the above pre-independence community newspapers, others sprang up in Nigeria. These could be rightly regarded as post-independence papers. Some

 

of them are already defunct. They are “The news” based in Akinale village in the outsk Obanta News”- Odebasedandin“GaskiyaKwabo”Ijebu basedTafi in Zaria

 

 

Also worthy of mention are the Onitsha based “Nigerian mir established in the mid 1960s, “The Lagos Ne

The plan to establish “the Urhobo in –Chief and publisher, Mr. Ogbemure Imene. However, it was not until October , 1997 that the first copies of the newspaper hit the newsstands. Its first editor was Mr. Godwin Okpubigbo.

 

 

The paper is printed by Uvoh –Amroma International ltd. at No. 1 Orofin Street (Goodday Communication), Maza –Maza, Lagos.

 

The aims and objectives of the papers are:

 

1. The creation of awareness for the upliftment of the Urohobo nation,

 

2. To unite the Urhobo people into one universal spectrum;

 

3. To act as an organ of universal information to the Urhobo people and become partners in progress with their neighbour for the betterment of all.

 

4. To capture the essence of the Urhobo world,

 

5. To champion excellence in grassroots journalism.

 

Although, the paper has not joined the Audit Bureau of Circulation (A.B.C.), its distribution is undertaken by Mr. Dominic Onunu who is the marketing manager.

 

The paper has approximate circulation figure of seven thousand (7,000) copies. At the inception of the paper in 1997, it was published monthly. In April 1999, it

 

became a fortnightly after. Again in September same year (1999) it became a tri-monthly

newspaper. With effect from January 2000 the management will make it a weekly newspaper.

 

 

 

• Statement of the Problem

 

It is not out of place to say that in most rural communities in Nigeria, there are no community newspapers through which the rural folks could be informed about government policies and programmes and above all mobilized towards improved condition of living. This unfortunate situation has compelled many people to lastly conclude that the print media have no relevance in community development in Nigeria.

 

It is also known that there are some other communities in Nigeria which are not development, just like Urhobo community at this jet age when even the smaller countries around us are boasting of continues supply of electricity.

 

The researcher does not want this phenomenon to continue to occur and that is why she has carried out this research.
