Whereas scholars are agreed on the import of local government in any form of governmental contraption, however, there are divergent views on the extent of the role of the local government system in community development. Specifically, the work examines both the import of local government in respect of certain

  • In the Nineteenth Century Yorubaland Was Characterized by Revolutionary Political and Economic Changes
    Ethnic Identity and Nineteenth-Century Yoruba Warfare Olatunji Ojo (York University, Toronto) In the nineteenth century Yorubaland was characterized by revolutionary political and economic changes. These changes stemmed from a series of constitutional and other socio-economic disruptions, initially in Oyo and later in other districts. The weakening of Oyo’s central administration after 1800, exacerbated by the spread of Islam and the expansion of legitimate trade generated rapid political changes, the most important of which was the century-long Yoruba wars.1 Yoruba warfare has attracted substantial scholarship. Some writers attribute the wars to attempts by various states to fill the vacuum created by the fall of Oyo. To this group, the wars were fallouts of state formation processes in Africa.2 The other school or the Anthony Hopkins/Economic school links the wars to global economic movements, especially those associated with falling revenue from trade in slaves, and later palm oil.3 This paper, while bridging the two schools identifies a third issue: identity crisis. Peoples and communities occupied different strata within the social system. People were also classified based on ethnicity, class, age and even gender. Each of these identities or a combination of two or more dominated the course of the nineteenth century Yoruba history. Therefore, whether with warfare, slavery, religious observations, and property ownership, there were issues over who were the combatants? Who could be enslaved or not and who could be killed at religious functions? The ways in which people identified themselves, and how others identified them were at stake in discussions about political control, religious rituals, property relation and how people fought against the status quo.

Dmitri Hurlbut Introduction As long as scholars have been writing about the history of Nigeria, they have been writing about Christianity. After more than sixty years, however, it is time to take stock of this vast body of literature, and get a sense of where we have been and where we are going. It is my hope that the compilation of this relatively comprehensive bibliography, and a brief discussion of some of the gaps that need to be filled in the literature, will inspire scholars to take their historical research in exciting and novel directions. Based on a reading of this bibliography, I would like to suggest that future research into the history of Christianity in Nigeria should be directed in three broad directions. First, historians need to focus more research on the development of mainline mission churches following independence, because the historiography remains skewed in favor of independent churches.

  • The Changing Residential Districts of Lagos: How the Past Has Created the Present and What Can Be Done About It
    The Changing Residential Districts of Lagos: How the Past Has Created the Present and What Can Be Done about It Basirat Oyalowo, University of Lagos, Nigeria Timothy Nubi, University of Lagos, Nigeria Bose Okuntola, Lagos State University, Nigeria Olufemi Saibu, University of Lagos, Nigeria Oluwaseun Muraina, University of Lagos, Nigeria Olanrewaju Bakinson, Lagos State Lands Bureau, Nigeria The European Conference on Arts & Humanities 2019 Official Conference Proceedings Abstract The position of Lagos as Nigeria’s economic centre is entrenched in its colonial past. This legacy continues to influence its residential areas today. The research work provides an analysis of the complexity surrounding low-income residential areas of Lagos since 1960, based on the work of Professor Akin Mabogunje, who had surveyed 605 properties in 21 communities across Lagos. Based on existing housing amenities, he had classified them as high grade, medium grade, lower grade and low grade residential areas. This research asks: In terms of quality of neighbourhood amenities, to what extent has the character of these neighbourhoods changed from their 1960 low grade classification? This research is necessary because these communities represent the inner slums of Lagos, and in order to proffer solutions to inherent problems, it is important to understand how colonial land policies brought about the slum origins of these communities. Lessons for the future can then become clearer. The study is based on a mixed methods approach suitable for multidisciplinary inquires. Quantitative data is gathered through a survey of the communities; with findings from historical records and in-depth interviews with residents to provide the qualitative research.

    Ethiopian Journal of Environmental Studies and Management EJESM Vol. 5 no.4 (Suppl.1) 2012 STRUCTURAL PATTERN OF MOBILE PHONE USAGE IN LAGOS METROPOLIS, NIGERIA OSOBA, S. B. http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/ejesm.v5i4.S9 Received 20th August 2012; accepted 4th October 2012 Abstract The wide use of the Global System for Mobile communication (GSM) and its influence on various aspects of the society is yet to be empirically investigated. This paper examined the relationship between GSM usage and socio-economic characteristic (sex, marital status, age, education, income, occupation and employment) of the GSM-owners. The study sample consisted of 2,500 households in the study area. Systematic sampling technique was used to select every tenth building on the identified streets. In a multi-family dwelling, random sampling was used to select one household. The data collected were analysed using simple frequency contain form of cross tabulation to compute the number of GSM calls made and the number of call received by GSM- owners within Lagos metropolis. The study reveals that over 80% of GSM phone calls were made in areas with industrial concentration and commercial activities. The paper recommended that transport planners in Lagos need to develop alternative intra-city transport systems. This can be achieved through a shift to the development of other land transport systems by policy makers. Key words: GSM, Intra-city transport, Travel pattern, Socio-economic characteristics Introduction city. More so, telecommuting can take place Spatial interaction in urban setting could be under various organisations depending on the of at least two types namely; those that involve nature of the job, the personnel involved as well physical contacts like day to day movements of as the organization and socio cultural settings.
