Despite all approaches to arrest them, soil erosion problems keep aggravating in Anambra State, especially in Nanka and Ekwulobia Communities Consequently, soil characteristics of soils from Nanka and Ekwulobia Gully Erosion Sites were investigated, using experimental design, with a view to ascertaining their implications on the prevalence of soil erosion in the areas. The sites were purposively chosen because of their sizes, locations and different havocs caused on the inhabitants of the area. The result revealed that the soil characteristics of the area play significant roles in the initiation and continued incidence of soil erosion. The data generated were analyzed using Chi-Square statistical technique. The study also revealed that there is a significant difference between the Chemical/Mineralogical, and between the physical and biological characteristics of the soils of Nanka and Ekwulobia. Further research to find environment-friendly chemicals capable of improving the diagenetic properties of the underlying rocks was recommended. It further recommended attitudinal change on the part of the part of the inhabitants of the two communities.
