The urge to reflect on Colonial Medicine in Ibadan between 1900 and 1960 is closely associated with the parlous condition of health services in Nigeria. I thank the Almighty God, the giver of life and source of true wisdom, who enabled me to translate the idea into writing. May his name be praised for ever, Amen. I acknowledge authors, individuals and organizations whose contributions guided my thought in the cause of writing the thesis. I express my gratitude to all the people I interviewed whose names appear under the oral evidence. Significantly, I am deeply indebted to Dr. V.O. Edo, my supervisor. His friendship, assistance, and constructive criticisms were a source of great encouragement. May the Lord enlarge his coast and bless his household, Amen. I also want to express my profound appreciation to Professor Adelola Adeloye, an indefatigable scholar with renown as a great neurosurgeon. His interest in the history of medicine is demonstrated through a number of books he wrote on the issue. He provides support and assistance through suggestions and criticisms. He also read through the drafts of the thesis and offered suggestions which helped me tremendously. I like to note that a good number of the photographs used in this work were obtained from his books. The remainingUNIVERSITY ones were obtained from OF the National IBADAN Archives, Ibadan.

  • First Principles Foundational Concepts to Guide Politics and Policy
    FIRST PRINCIPLES FOUNDATIONAL CONCEPTS TO GUIDE POLITICS AND POLICY NO. 65 | DECEMBER 31, 2017 The Limits and Dangers of Civil Disobedience: The Case of Martin Luther King, Jr. Peter C. Myers Abstract At the heart of the American character is a seeming paradox: America is a republic of laws, yet it has a long tra- dition of civil disobedience. Martin Luther King, Jr., the most renowned advocate of civil disobedience, argued that civil disobedience is not lawlessness but instead a higher form of lawfulness, designed to bring positive or man-made law into conformity with higher law—natural or divine law. As King’s own legacy reveals, however, civil disobedience is complicated in its theoretical basis and problematic in its practical effects. It is justifiable, in exceptional circumstances, by the first principles of free, constitutional government, but it is dangerous in that it poses a threat to the rule of law. The judgment as to when circumstances warrant, along with the practice of civil disobedience itself, must be governed by the most careful prudential regulation. To gain our bearings amid today’s protests, characterized more by disruption and coercion than persuasion, we should look beyond contem- porary justifications and return to the best of King’s thinking—and beyond King, to the understanding of civil disobedience grounded in America’s first principles. Introduction own assistance, would shortly thereafter declare to At the heart of the American character, evident be revolutionary and justified by a law higher than since our nation’s birth, is a seeming paradox: Amer- any human law.1 Acutely aware of the turbulent his- icans take pride in our self-image as a republic of tory of republics,2 America’s revolutionary Found- laws and no less pride in our propensity toward righ- ers hoped that Americans would prove exceptional teous disobedience.

  • The Gaspee Affair As Conspiracy by Lawrence J
    The Gaspee Affair as Conspiracy By Lawrence J. DeVaro, Jr. Rhode Island History, October 1973, pp. 106-121 Digitized and reformatted from .pdf available on-line courtesy RI Historical Society at: http://www.rihs.org/assetts/files/publications/1973_Oct.pdf On the afternoon of June 9, 1772, His Majesty's schooner Gaspee grounded on a shoal called Namquit Point in Narragansett Bay. From the time of their arrival in Rhode Island's waters in February, the Gaspee and her commander, Lieutenant William Dudingston, had been the cause of much commercial frustration of local merchants. Dudingston was insolent, described by one local newspaper as more imperious and haughty than the Grand Turk himself. Past accounts of his pettish nature followed him from port to port.[1] The lieutenant was also shrewd. Aware that owners of seized vessels — rather than navy captains deputized in the customs service — would triumph in any cause brought before Rhode Island's vice-admiralty court, Dudingston had favored the district vice-admiralty court at Boston instead, an option available to customs officials since 1768.[2] Aside from threatening property of Rhode Islanders through possible condemnation of seizures, utilization of the court at Boston invigorated opposition to trials out of the vicinage, a grievance which had irritated merchants within the colony for some time.[3] Finally the lieutenant was zealous — determined to be a conscientious customs officer even if it meant threatening Rhode Island's flourishing illicit trade in non-British, West-Indian molasses. Governor Joseph Wanton of Rhode Island observed that Dudingston also hounded little packet boats as they plied their way between Newport and Providence.

  • Annual Report 2011
    School of Biological Sciences College of Science Nigerian Montane Forest Project Annual Report 11 Introduction 2011 has been an extraordinary year, and has had both its highs and its lows. The re-election of His Excellency Danbaba Suntai as Governor of Taraba State was celebrated by the NMFP. During his first term in office Suntai truly supported forest conservation and the NMFP. For this we are extremely grateful. We wish Suntai the best for his next term. The devastating earthquake in Christchurch on February 22nd, followed by many significant aftershocks (which are ongoing) was not good for NMFP. Students who were in Christchurch at the time suffered severe disruption to study and consequently theses are a couple of months behind schedule. I was unable to attend and present at the ATBC conference in Tanzania. Reports on progress have been somewhat delayed. The altered undergraduate timetable and other Christchurch commitments meant that I was unable to return to Nigeria until August this year. However all was not lost. On the contrary, Prof. Pierre-Michel Forget very kindly replaced me at the research station during April to advise Babale Aliyu in the setting up of his PhD field experiments. PM’s son Raphael also visited and I understand thoroughly enjoyed the experience. 2011 has seen hurdles with funding and visa’s finally overcome, allowing Charles Nsor (Gombe State University) and Ralph Adewoye (Forest Research Institute, Ibadan) to enrol at UC with projects based at Ngel Nyaki. Misa Zubairu –(Project Coordinator) – with the help of Danladi Umar (Manager) have been exemplary in organising the building of the new research block, kitchen and ‘wet’ lab, and supervising the installation of the improved satellite communications system.
