Urban centres continue to attract people across social divides. So also is the environment, which changes with constant interactions among urban population who constantly harness environmental resources for their survival. This process comes with its attendant effects that could be either positive or negative. This process explains the rationale behind uneven population patterns among human settlements as well as the lopsided distribution of resources needed to make life worthy of living. The public utilities, health and social services continue to be largely unavailable and where they are available, they are inefficient, shoddy and collapsing. This study is therefore a novel attempt at making a modest contribution to academic discourse on urban studies. It tries to explore the impact of urbanisation on health situation and life expectancy of urban dwellers. The study made use of primary data, which was collected through telephone interviews. The participants in these interviews included scholars in urban studies, public health educators, social workers, and epidemiologists. This was complemented with data from existing literature from scholars in urban and health studies. The results from this study showed that urban environmental problems like inadequate water and sanitation, high infant mortality, lack of rubbish disposal, industrial pollution and its attendant respiratory infections and other infectious and parasitic diseases persist. This is therefore an indication of the deleterious status of socio-economic determinants of health that can hamper a healthy life expectancy.

Dobra kondycja zdrowotna jest kluczowa dla osiągnięcia zrównoważonego rozwoju w dowolnej gospodarce, w tym w Nigerii. Nie dziwi fakt, że ONZ wskazało dobry stan zdrowia jako trzeci cel zrównoważonego rozwoju. Utrzymanie dobrej kondycji zdrowotnej wymaga nakładów finansowych oraz sprawnie funkcjonujących instytucji. Te właśnie zależności przeanalizowano w niniejszym artykule. W artykule zbadano wpływ finansowania opieki zdrowotnej i jakości zarządzania na wyniki zdrowotne w Nigerii w latach 1980–2018, wykorzystując dane wtórne oparte na Światowych Wskaźnikach Rozwoju (WDI). Na potrzeby analizy danych zastosowano test kointegracji i model wektorowej korekty błędów (VECM). Wykorzystując zarówno oczekiwaną długość życia, jak i śmiertelność niemowląt jako miarę wyników zdrowotnych i zmiennych zależnych, wykazano na podstawie wyników krótko- i długoterminowych, że instytucje usprawnione za pomocą dobrych praktyk zarządzania mogą przynieść pozytywne wyniki zdrowotne w kraju.

Good health is essential to achieve sustainable development in any economy. Nigeria is no exception. No wonder it is the third goal in the sustainable development goals of the United Nations. Achieving good health also needs to be well funded with institutional quality, hence this study. This paper examined the effect of health financing and governance quality on health outcomes in Nigeria from 1980 to 2018 using secondary data sourced from World Development Indicators (WDI). A co-integration test and a vector error correction model (VECM) were employed to analyse the data. Short- and long-term results of an analysis based on life expectancy and infant mortality as a measure of health outcomes and dependent variables demonstrate that institutions empowered with good governance could produce positive health outcomes in the country.

This study has been motivated by the diverse and stimulating dimension of urban life, most especially by the unending flair for social festivities, popularly known as Owanbe. While giving its attention to Lagos City in Nigeria, this study strove to contribute to the existing discourse on urban life and its realities. It documents the pattern and dimension of social festivities, the socio-demographic characteristics of the conveners/organizers, the ideological motives behind the unending spate of lavish ceremonies, the factors sustaining these ceremonies, the sources of financing the ceremonies in the face of prevailing precarious economic condition, as well as the developmental implications and the emerging manifestations of these ceremonies. As a participatory research that took place in 5 randomly sampled Local Government Areas in Lagos State between March 2020 and January 2021, the study sourced data using the In‑Depth Interview (IDI), Key Informant Interview (KII), and Focus Group Discussions (FGD). The participants were the stakeholders and opinion leaders within the study areas. The collected data were content analyzed and reported with humanistic approach. The study has discovered that urban dynamics created inequalities and harsh economic conditions. The reality of the inevitability of this situation gave prominence to unconventional leisure and recreation events called Owanbe gatherings. The pattern and dimension of such festivities ranged from birthdays, child naming, burial rites, to chieftaincy ceremonies, and so on. The study concludes that ostentatious spending involved in Owanbe ceremonies encourages disinvestment through the diversion of funds that would have stimulated sustainable economic growth.
