  • National Symbols As Commemorative Emblems in Nigerian Films
    European Scientific Journal January 2018 edition Vol.14, No.2 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 National Symbols as Commemorative Emblems in Nigerian Films Alawode, Sunday Olayinka PhD Adesanya, Oluseyi Olufunke Agboola, Olufunsho Cole Lagos State University School Of Communication Lagos, Osodi, Lagos State, Nigeria Religion, Communication and Culture Working Group Doi: 10.19044/esj.2018.v14n2p100 URL:http://dx.doi.org/10.19044/esj.2018.v14n2p100 Abstract Nigerian films worldwide are the entertainment offerings of the nation, a burgeoning industry with steady increase growth rate and contributing substantially to the GDP of the nation. National symbols are objects, entities and relics representing an idea, concept, character that may be physical, abstract, religious, cultural, and linguistic among others in a sovereign context and beyond. Symbols or objects that connected together may not have anything in common in reality but by association and common agreement, they have come to represent each other in social contexts; a symbol may arbitrarily denote a referent, icon and index. In the case of Nigeria, the National flag, Anthem, Pledge, Currency, language, Coat of arms, National institutions like the National Assembly complex, Federal Capital Territory (FCT), images of past leaders, historical monuments like the Unknown Soldier (representing military men who died in the cause of protecting the nation), dresses are some of these national symbols. Apart from commemorative historical functions, national symbols are also used to represent hard work, credibility or truthfulness, as well as ethnic differentiation, religious affiliation, cultural background, social status, professional orientation, class distinction among others. Theorizing with Gate-keeping and Framing Analysis, this study adopts a content analysis design which is the study of recorded human communications, an objective and systematic analysis of the contents of any document that are manifest.

  • Flag of Guinea - a Brief History
    Part of the “History of National Flags” Series from Flagmakers Flag of Guinea - A Brief History Where In The World Trivia The flag is the reverse of the flag of Mali. Technical Specification Adopted: 10th November 1958 Proportion: 2:3 Design: A red-yellow-green vertical tricolour. Colours: PMS Yellow: 109 Red: 032 Green: 355 Brief History Throughout the centuries many Empires have ruled the area known as Guinea. The first known flag in the area was that of the Wassoulou Empire who came to rule in 1878. The flag was a blue, light blue and white horizontal tricolour, with a red triangle on the left hand side and 7-pointed white star with red diamond inside. When French Colonial Army overthrew the Wassoulou Empire in 1898 and the area became a French Colony. The French blue-white-red vertical tricolour was then used as the national flag. The Flag of the Wassoulou Empire The French Tricolour (1878 – 1898) (1894 -1958) In 1958 Guinea gained independence from France after a landslide vote against autonomy. The newly independent country decided to link with Mali to form the Union of African States. The flag was a horizontal red-yellow-green tricolour with two black stars in the centre. When Mail joined the union in 1960 a third black star was added. The union was dissolved in 1963. The Flag of Alexandria The Flag of Aswan The Flag of Asyut The first national flag of Guinea was also adopted in 1958. It features the same red-yellow-green Pan-African movement’s colours as the Union of African States but in a vertical tricolour to reflect it’s past as a French colony.

  • Dyhia Belhabib and Daniel Pauly
    Guinea-Bissau - Belhabib and Pauly 1 FISHERIES IN TROUBLED WATERS: A CATCH RECONSTRUCTION FOR GUINEA-BISSAU, 1950-20101 Dyhia Belhabib and Daniel Pauly Sea Around Us, Fisheries Centre, University of British Columbia, 2202 Main Mall, Vancouver, BC, V6T 1Z4, Canada [email protected]; [email protected] ABSTRACT Marine fisheries catches of Guinea Bissau were reconstructed to account for sectors that have never been considered previously. Two main sectors were identified, the large-scale (industrial) sector, which includes foreign industrial catches, the catches of so-called ‘domestic’ vessels, and the discards they both generate. The other main sector consists of the small-scale fisheries, including subsistence, recreational and, most importantly, the artisanal sectors. Catches were estimated at 13 million tonnes between 1950 and 2010, of which 1.6 million tonnes were caught by domestic fisheries. This is much higher than the 207,000 tonnes supplied to the FAO on behalf of Guinea Bissau. A sharp decline in catches is noted over the last decade, probably due to over-exploitation which threatens the food security of the population of Guinea-Bissau. On the other hand, losses due to illegal fisheries are very high, and controlling illegal fishing will go a long way towards improving the status of the fisheries of, and seafood supply to, Guinea Bissau. INTRODUCTION Guinea Bissau is located at the edge of the Guinea Current Large Marine Ecosystem (LME) and the Canary Current LME between 11°52’N and 15°36’W. Thanks to coastal upwellings and extensive nutrients from river input, the extensive continental shelves off Guinea Bissau – one of the largest in West Africa – within an Exclusive Economic Zone of 106,000 km2 (Figure 1) is home to an estimated one million tonnes of fisheries resources, of which, according to Anon.
