The calculated chi-square (X2) value of

null hypothesis. Finding indicate that there are significant level of awareness
about soil erosion in Sapele metropolis. This is in agreement with the opinion
of Karlen (2006) explained that soil erosion has lead to pollution of washing
in some toxic deposited by man in his environment and thereby killing some
aquatic life which were meant for human consumption.

hypothesis. Finding indicate that absence of good drainage system contribute to
the problem of soil erosion in Sapele metropolis. This is in agreement with the
opinion of Kenneth (2004). Soil erosion affect people particularly as a result
of absence of good draining system. The drainage system prevents soil
saturation due to too much water resulting from heavy rains. In a landscape
yard, draining system keeps the water from foundation of the house; it also
takes the water away using natural manufactured method.

2002) states that flooding led to lest of lives and properties, dislocation of
people starvation; also this problem of erosion in Sapele exposes them to skin
infection and water borne disease. It also aggravate the problem of diarrhea
due to the intake of contaminated water that is not treated before consumption.
