The\u0000ethnographic case study was used as the design. Non-structured and non-scheduled\u0000interviews as well as observations were used to get an insight of Khomba. The study\u0000established that the curriculum content of Khomba is designed along gender lines. It sets\u0000one form of knowledge to be suitable for women and not for men. The Khomba ceremony\u0000seems to tell initiates that they are ‘ripe' for marriage and hence divert their attention from\u0000formal education. The curriculum teaches women to internalize their own subordinate\u0000status, to view themselves of lesser value and diminishes their sense of their own rights.\u0000By so doing, Khomba restricts women's space both in terms of their condition and position\u0000in society and restricts women to the reproductive sphere. The study recommends that the\u0000Ubuntuism framework be used to reform the Khomba curriculum so as to engender the\u0000cultural practice and create a gender responsive environment in the district.

Open-ended, structured questionnaires were administered to 60 traders at various markets in five towns, namely, Ijebu-Ode, Ijebu-\u0000Imusin, Ijebu-Ife, Ijebu-Igbo and Sagamu. Ninety percent (90%) of the traders were\u0000females, sixty-four percent (64%) were traditonalists, seventy-five percent (75%) had no\u0000formal education and thirty-three percent (33%) were between the ages of 36–45 years.\u0000The traders claimed the wild vertebrates had an array of zootherapeutic uses. These\u0000ranged from cures of bone pains and rheumatism, kleptomania, leprosy, impotency,\u0000infertility, healing of wounds and bone fractures and the preparation of aphrodisiacs. Other\u0000uses included the preparation of charms or amulets for protection, good fortune, reverence\u0000from peers and elders, love charms and money rituals. Eleven of the twenty-three species\u0000surveyed were listed as threatened in Nigeria's Endangered Species (Control of International Trade and Traffic) Decree 11 of 1985 and the Control of International Trade in\u0000Endangered Species (CITES). Some of these include leopard, pangolin, gorilla, colobus\u0000monkey, wildcat and chimpanzee. Further research is necessary to authenticate the\u0000therapeutic claims of the traders. It is also important to educate the traders and people in\u0000general on the effect of their trade on the threatened species and the likely impact on\u0000biodiversity.

It presents this argument by showing how the Great Zimbabwe Monument that was built between the 12th and 14th century applied some geometrical concepts that some secondary school students in Zimbabwe find difficult to comprehend. Examples of how different trades in Zimbabwe apply mathematical concepts with precision without the practitioners receiving formal education are drawn from common cultural economic activities. The discussion exposes some benefits that secondary school students might derive from the\u0000inclusion of ethnomathematics in their curriculum. The inclusion might facilitate the\u0000implementation of child-centred instructional practices that view mathematical knowledge\u0000as context based and a social construct that continuously evolve from human activities to\u0000solve emerging social needs. In conclusion the paper highlights the implications for\u0000including ethnomathematics in the secondary school and teacher education curricula.

It specifically identifies various indigenous/local and modern methods\u0000employed in the process of utilizing an integrated approach to soil conservation by all\u0000stakeholders (local farmers, governmental and non-governmental organisations) to\u0000preserve the structures, water and nutrient retention and augmentation of the soil. It also\u0000reports some crucial factors associated with the utilisation of indigenous knowledge\u0000systems for soil fertility conservation by farmers. The article further presents a conceptual\u0000framework on the interrelationship between culture and the development and utilisation of\u0000local knowledge by the grassroots people. The current global campaign for the preservation\u0000of knowledge systems and the use of low-external input to stem environmental\u0000degradation inform the emphases on the need to build or improve on existing local knowledge\u0000in order to enhance meaningful and sustainable development.
