Rural Urban Migration in Kwara State 1970-1985/MIGRATION RURALE URBAINE DANS L'ETAT DE KWARA 1970-1985
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract: The paper examines the phenomenon of rural urban migration typical of developing economy common to the thirdworld countries. It argues that the oil boom years of the 1970s which resulted in the virtual neglect of the agricultural sector of the economy and the rural base upon which it operated, created a great disequilibrium in the economic opportunities between the rural and the urban areas. Consequently a shift of the neglected rural population in order to enjoy urban privileges was inevitable. The result was a total desertion of the rural home region of the Igbomina people of Kwara State as a result of massive migration to Lagos. The paper conclude that the consequences of this was that government became incapacitated to cope with the rate of growth of cities and its ability to adequately provide for the needs of the urban population, especially in Lagos, was greatly curtailed. This was to create urban slum and a rise in crime wave in cities while the neglected rural areas became greatly depopulated. Key words: rural-urban migration; Kwara state; urban poverty Resume: L'article examine le phenomene de la migration rurale urbaine, ce qui est typique du developpement de l'economie dans les pays du tiers monde. Il affirme que le boom petrolier des annees 1970 a conduit a une negligence presque totale du secteur agricole dans l'economie et la base rurale sur laquelle elle fonctionnait, et a cre un grand desequilibre dans les opportunites economiques entre les regions rurales et les zones urbaines. Par consequent, un deplacement de la population rurale negligee vers les villes afin de profiter des privileges urbains etait inevitable. Le resultat etait une desertion totale de la region d'origine rurale dans l'Etat de Kwara et la population Igbomina a cre une migration massive vers Lagos. L'article conclut que les consequences de cet evenement est que le gouvernement est devenu incapable de faire face au taux de croissance des villes et sa capacite a constituer une provision suffisante pour les besoins de la population urbaine, en particulier a Lagos, qui ont ete grandement reduits. Cela pouvait creer des bidonvilles et une augmentation de criminalite dans les villes tandis que les zones rurales negligees deviendraient depeuplees.

It was one of the first group of twelve states structure established by the military regime of General Yakubu Gowon in 1967. There has been a lot of structural changes in the size, structure and ethnic composition of the state since its creation. However, the major parts of what was traditionally known as Ilorin Emirate remain in the existing geographical component known as Kwara State. The Igbomina, the central subject of this paper used as case study, lives in the southeastern part of the state and has remained part of it since its inception not withstanding various structural changes in the state composition over the years. The Igbomina are recognized by themselves and by others as a distinct dialectic sub-group of the Yoruba inhabiting the northern part of Yoruba country. Today, they are found in the two states of Kwara and Osun2. In 1918, the boundary declaration between the Northern and Southern Nigeria partitioned the Igbomnina into these two regions, with Ila-Oragun and its southern neighbours located in the south and the others in the north3. Even in the north, the Igbomina were again sub-divided between two administrative divisions of Ilorin and Patigi/Lafiagi, until May 1946 when they were all merged under Ilorin. Following the Local Government reforms of 1968 and 1976 and the intense pressure for change4, the Igbomina were granted local autonomy and the majority now live in the Ifelodun, Irepodun and most recently, Isin Local Government Areas of Kwara state and Ua area of Osun state. …
