		They both agreed that the Itsekiri should be joined with their kith and kin in the proposed Edo State in order to save them from ethnic cleanshing that was in the offing then.
		That the Itsekiri people's home cannot be in the present Delta State with headquarters in Asaba is my plea and that the home of the Itsekiri is in the present EDO State.

		The menarchial age of 859 secondary school girls consisting of 508 from urban and 351 from rural area of Rivers State, Nigeria were determined, using questionnaires and interview method.
		It seems that the socio-economic status affects menarchial age, and this may account for the significant difference in menarchial age between urban and rural school girls, since 56.6% (133) of the rural school girls were within the low socio-economic group while only 14% of the urban school girls were of low socio-economic group.
		The question of a proper definition of socio-economic status in Nigeria however arises, considering that there is little or no difference in menarchial age between girls in the middle and high socio-economic groups.
