Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nigeria is potentially one of the giants of Africa and indeed the world. Myopia and acrebral waste by functional semi-illiterate military dictators in khaki has ruined Nigeria and continues to ruin the country. The instinct of the military is akin to those of armed robbers, as they operate by force of arms over unarmed and defenceless civilians. Military rule imposed by force of arms against unarmed and defenceless civilians is government of the people, not by the people, and not for the people. Civilian rule is not always democratic rule. Civilian rule imposed upon the people by vote-rigging machines called political parties are as effective as guns as an instrument of oppression of the people and looting of the treasury. Civilian government of the people, not by the people, and not for the people, is exactly the same as military government, as they are the masters of the people. The people did not appoint them, and the people cannot sack them. Nigeria should be governed with the best interests of children at the forefront of all that is done. Their anticipated future needs must be the pillar of every plan. Nigerians are the country’s most important natural resource, and will last far longer than its gas and oil reserves. Treat the people well and the country will respond in kind. Above all, give the poor and their children the “tool” they need to fly Nigeria above the dark clouds that cover it.

Download or read book The Sons of Lugard written by Smh Ellakkawi and published by . This book was released on 2012-11-01 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sons of Lugard is a brightly written, readable, and thoroughly authentic tragedy/comedy that tells the remarkable story of Lord Lugard, his three negroid adopted sons, and their venture: The Nigeria Holdings. It is a story of treachery and betrayal fueled by greed, selfishness, religious bigotry and ignorance. The Sons of Lugard's strength lies in Ellakkawi's recalling a life that is, at once, recognizable to most Nigerians and yet extraordinary in its scope and texture. In today's harsh, things fall apart scenario of Nigeria, the account offers hope for Nigerians who tremble as they contemplate the geographical entity called Nigeria. The legendary author George Orwell once said that, "What I have most wanted to do thorough out the past ten years is to make political writing into an art. " The Sons of Lugard is an example of where political writing had been turned into an art.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the decline of slavery in Northern Nigeria during the first forty years of colonial rule. At the time of the British conquest, the Sokoto Caliphate was one of the largest slave societies in modern history. Rather than emancipate slaves, the colonial state abolished the legal status of slavery, encouraging them to buy their freedom. Many were unable to do so, and slavery was not finally abolished until l936. The authors have written a provocative book, raising doubts over the moral legitimacy of both the Sokoto Caliphate and the colonial state.

This book was released on 2018-10-08 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a long time now it has been common understanding that Africa played only a marginal role in the First World War. Its reduced theatre of operations appeared irrelevant to the strategic balance of the major powers. This volume is a contribution to the growing body of historical literature that explores the global and social history of the First World War. It questions the supposedly marginal role of Africa during the Great War with a special focus on Northeast Africa. In fact, between 1911 and 1924 a series of influential political and social upheavals took place in the vast expanse between Tripoli and Addis Ababa. The First World War was to profoundly change the local balance of power. This volume consists of fifteen chapters divided into three sections. The essays examine the social, political and operational course of the war and assess its consequences in a region straddling Africa and the Middle East. The relationship between local events and global processes is explored, together with the regional protagonists and their agency. Contrary to the myth still prevailing, the First World War did have both immediate and long-term effects on the region. This book highlights some of the significant aspects associated with it.

The book extensively discusses several historical European activities in Africa with Nigeria as the topic of discussion. Permit to suggest that history of Africa or individual countries as titled by scholars should be tagged as European activities in Africa or individual countries in the continent since those activities largely impacted negatively in member states as Africans were meant to believe what they were told, which results to great altering of its historical events, which this book will address by presenting the true cause of events in Nigeria and Africa in general. The amalgamation of northern and southern Nigeria in 1914 by Lord Frederick lugard made Nigeria the most populous nation in Africa with over 250 ethnic groups with diverse culture and languages. The major ethnic groups; Igbo, Hausa and Yoruba accounts for about 70 percent of the population, ethnic groups like Kanuri, Tiv and Ibibio accounts for about 10 percent while more than hundred other ethnic groups occupies the rest of the twenty percent, which were on 1914 amalgamation joined together to make up what became Nigeria. The highly researched work is derived from the combination of great ideas developed on variety of resources centered on history of Nigeria and Africa in general. It contains maps and pictures for a better understanding. The resources from the ministry of information in Nigeria and various universities across the country play a greater role in the success of this book. Nigeria is derived from the two words; "Niger" and "Area" combined together to make up with the name "Nigeria" as suggested by Lady Flora Shaw, a British journalist with London time's newspaper. The Niger is the name of the river that constitutes most remarkable geographical feature of the country. Nigeria is a country that has a land mass of about 923,768 square kilometers. Benin republic bordered her in the east, south by the Niger and Chad republic, west by the republic of Cameroon, and north by the gulf of guinea. The country gained independence from British government on October 1st, 1960 and became a republic on October 1st, 1963. The journey to independent started with some constitutional developments, these constitutional developments saw the country attainment of self-rule in some regions; East and south in 1957 and North in 1959, come the total liberation on October 1st, 1960. The occupation of Lagos in 1861 and the formation of Niger coast protectorate in 1893 could be seen as the formation of real takeover of Nigeria by the British. The withdrawal of the charter given to the royal Niger Company in 1900 and the inclusion of the colony of Lagos into the southern protectorate in 1906, as well as the amalgamation of 1914, all resulted in the complete and official control of the British government administering Nigeria as a colony of the British Empire. The first constitutional development in Nigeria could be said to had started with adoption of Clifford constitution of 1922, which for the first time provided for the elected Nigerian members to the legislative council (3 for Lagos and one for Calabar). Clifford constitution led to the development of nationalism and formation of political parties, starting with National Nigerian Democratic Party (NNDP), which served as a tool for the attaining independence. The constitution later failed among other reasons, since the white still held supreme power, leading to establishment of Richard constitution.
