EAP050 Making Professor Ade Obayemi's Lifework Available to The EAP050 Making Professor Ade Obayemi’s lifework available to the world The late Professor Ade Obayemi’s lifetime collection of documents and correspondence lies in the Akodi Africa Museum he set up with his own funds at his home town in Iffe Ijuma, Kogi State, Nigeria. Professor Obayemi made some of the earliest archaeological explorations of northern Nigeria and became the Director General of Nigeria’s National Commission for Museums and Monuments. This pilot project was completed in October 2005, with a survey completed of the material in the museum and estimates made of the quantity of material worthy of listing and copying under a future major research project. This included some 950 unbound articles and 130 audio tapes of oral history, war songs and traditional music. Contents: p 2. Akodi Africa Museum: Published Collections p 61.

Nigerian youths are one of the most active users in Africa of social media platforms. These platforms have been used for good, bad and ugly. Nigerian youths have also used social media to make a strong political presence and raise questions about governance and accountability. The research papers and policy papers are covering issues pertaining to youth, good governance and social media in Nigeria. This project is implemented by Building Blocks for Peace Foundation, a youth-led nongovernmental organisation working on conflict prevention, peacebuilding, accountability governance and sustainable development in Nigeria.

  • The Politics of Architecture and Ur-Banism In
    The Politics of Architecture and Urbanism in Postcolonial Lagos, 1960–1986 DANIEL IMMERWAHR Department of History, University of California, Berkeley This is a preprint of an article to appear in the Journal of African Cultur- al Studies 19:2 (December 2007). It will be available online at http://journalsonline.tandf.co.uk/ After independence, the Nigerian government faced a number of choices about how to manage its urban environment, particularly in Lagos, Ni- geria’s capital. By favoring a program of tropical modernist architecture for its prestige buildings in Lagos and British New Town style for its housing estates there, the government sought to demonstrate both its in- dependence from European culture and its ability to perform the func- tions of a modern state. And yet, the hopes of government officials and elites for Lagos were frustrated as Lagosians, in response to new eco- nomic and demographic forces, shaped a very different sort of city from below. The Nigerian government’s retreat to Abuja and its abandonment of Lagos mark the failures of urban policymaking in Nigeria. 1. Colonial and Postcolonial Cities In the past twenty-five years, historians have devoted a good deal of attention to the spatial aspects of colonial rule. The ―colonial city‖ has emerged as an archetype fundamentally different from the metropolitan city. Anthony King‘s pioneering work (1976, 1990) emphasized the im- portance of the world economy in determining the shape of colonial ci- ties, and a number of case studies, including those of Janet Abu-Lughod (1980), Gwendolyn Wright (1991), Anja Nevanlinna (1996), and Zeynep Çelik (1997) have further explored the consequences of colonial urban policy.

  • Maiduguri: City Scoping Study
    MAIDUGURI: CITY SCOPING STUDY By Marissa Bell and Katja Starc Card (IRC) June 2021 MAIDUGURI: CITY SCOPING STUDY 2 Maiduguri is the largest city in north east Nigeria and the capital of Borno State, which suffers from endemic poverty, and capacity and legitimacy gaps in terms of its governance. The state has been severely affected by the Boko Haram insurgency and the resulting insecurity has led to economic stagnation in Maiduguri. The city has borne the largest burden of support to those displaced by the conflict. The population influx has exacerbated vulnerabilities that existed in the city before the security and displacement crisis, including weak capacities of local governments, poor service provision and high youth unemployment. The Boko Haram insurgency appears to be attempting to fill this gap in governance and service delivery. By exploiting high levels of youth unemployment Boko Haram is strengthening its grip around Maiduguri and perpetuating instability. Maiduguri also faces severe environmental challenges as it is located in the Lake Chad region, where the effects of climate change increasingly manifesting through drought and desertification. Limited access to water and poor water quality is a serious issue in Maiduguri’s vulnerable neighborhoods. A paucity of drains and clogging leads to annual flooding in the wet season. As the population of Maiduguri has grown, many poor households have been forced to take housing in flood-prone areas along drainages due to increased rent prices in other parts of the city. URBAN CONTEXT Maiduguri is the oldest town in north eastern Nigeria and has long served as a commercial centre with links to Niger, Cameroon and Chad and to nomadic communities in the Sahara.

  • The Sinister Political Life of Community
    NIGER DELTA ECONOMIES OF VIOLENCE WORKING PAPERS Working Paper No. 3 THE SINISTER POLITICAL LIFE OF COMMUNITY Economies of Violence and Governable Spaces in the Niger Delta, Nigeria Michael Watts Director, Institute of International Studies, University of California, Berkeley, USA 2004 Institute of International Studies, University of California, Berkeley, USA The United States Institute of Peace, Washington DC, USA Our Niger Delta, Port Harcourt, Nigeria 1 The Sinister Political Life of Community: Economies of Violence and Governable Spaces in the Niger Delta, Nigeria Michael Watts We seek to recover the . life of the community, as neither the “before” nor the “after” picture of any great human transformation. We see “communities” as creatures with an extraordinary and actually . quite sinister political life in the ground of real history. Kelly and Kaplan (2001:199) “Community” is an archetypal keyword in the sense deployed by Raymond Williams (1976). A “binding” word, suturing certain activities and their interpretation, community is also “indicative” (Williams’s term once again) in certain forms of thought. Deployed in the language for at least five hundred years, community has carried a range of senses denoting actual groups (for example “commoners” or “workers”) and connoting specific qualities of social relationship (as in communitas). By the nineteenth century, community was, of course, invoked as a way of talking about much larger issues, about modernity itself. Community—and its sister concepts of tradition and custom—now stood in sharp contrast to the more abstract, instrumental, individuated, and formal properties of state or society in the modern sense. A related shift in usage subsequently occurred in the twentieth century, when community came to refer to a form or style of politics distinct from the formal repertoires of national or local politics.

  • Nigerian Tourism Industry: a Key Value Driver in Employment Generation
    Journal of Tourism, Hospitality and Sports www.iiste.org ISSN (Paper) 2312-5187 ISSN (Online) 2312-5179 An International Peer-reviewed Journal Vol.36, 2018 Nigerian Tourism Industry: A Key Value Driver in Employment Generation Ibrahim Orekoya Department of Business Administration, University of Lagos, Nigeria Abstract The objective of this paper is to examine the role of the Nigerian tourism industry as a key value driver in employment generation. Some of the key areas the paper explores include: the Nigerian tourism industry, tourism destinations, influences on tourism development, sustainable tourism, challenges of the Nigerian tourism industry and the prospects for employment generation. The author observed that tourism should promote safe and friendly travel. Keywords: Nigerian tourism industry, tourism destinations, sustainable tourism, tourism development 1. Introduction Every tourist is different. Every tourist feels attracted by different tourist destinations, likes to engage in different activities while on vacation, makes use of different entertainment facilities and complains about different aspects of their vacation (Dolnicar, 2008). Tourism over the years has proven to be a strong resilient economic activity and a fundamental contributor to economic growth of nations by generating billions of dollars in exports and creating millions of jobs (Yusuff and Akinde, 2015). Tourism helps to balance regional equalities and has been an integral part of developmental policy and economic strategy in many countries (Sharpley, 1999). To bolster economic development, tourism make a major contribution to the income of the destination areas, creates employment opportunities, supports diverse range of industries, helps to diverse local economies and support existing infrastructure and help fund the development of new infrastructure (Shone, 2008).

  • HIS 272, Spring 2009
    HIS 212/ECO 255/AAS 260, Africa’s Sleeping Giant: Nigeria Since the Islamic Revolution of 1804 Spring 2016 Joseph E. Inikori B & L Room 269 RRL 437 – X59020 Monday & Wednesday 10.25-11.40 am Office Hours: Wednesday, 3.00-5.00 pm I. Scope and Focus Nigeria is a West African country, 923,800 square kilometers (356, 680 square miles) in geographical area. In Africa, the country ranks as the fourteenth largest country in geographical size; but, with 177.5 million people in 2014 (World Bank, World Development Indicators 2015), it is the most populous country in Africa. The country has vast natural resources, which include large reserves of crude oil and natural gas. The people are highly talented and ambitious in their pursuit of personal economic advancement and material comfort. The American anthropologist, Daniel Smith, who has worked and researched in the country for several years since 1989, has this to say about Nigerians: In my experience, the people are outgoing, warm, and welcoming. They exude confidence and pride. For scholars and other friends of Africa who sometimes feel compelled to combat misguided stereotypes that the continent and its people are helpless and hopeless, nothing could serve as a stronger counter than witnessing ambitious, vibrant, and entrepreneurial Nigerians going about their daily lives. Against seemingly insurmountable obstacles, people exhibit fortitude and persevere with great resilience. As big as Nigeria is, it sometimes seems too small to contain its astonishing fury of human activity. More than any place I have ever been, there is never a dull moment [Daniel Smith, A Culture of Corruption (2007), p.

  • Unity in Diversity: a Comparative Study of Selected Idioms in Nembe (Nigeria) and English
    Intercultural Communication Studies XXIII: 2 (2014) TEILANYO Unity in Diversity: A Comparative Study of Selected Idioms in Nembe (Nigeria) and English Diri I. TEILANYO University of Benin, Nigeria Abstract: Different linguistic communities have unique ways of expressing certain ideas. These unique expressions include idioms (as compared with proverbs), often being fixed in lexis and structure. Based on assumptions and criticisms of the Sapir-Whorfian Hypothesis with its derivatives of cultural determinism and cultural relativity, this paper studies certain English idioms that have parallels in Nembe (an Ijoid language in Nigeria’s Niger Delta). It is discovered that while the codes (vehicles) of expression are different, the same propositions and thought patterns run through the speakers of these different languages. However, each linguistic community adopts the concepts and nuances in its environment. It is concluded that the concept of linguistic universals and cultural relativity complement each other and provide a forum for efficient communication across linguistic, cultural and racial boundaries. Keywords: Idioms, proverbs, Nembe, English, proposition, equivalence, Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis, linguistic universals, cultural relativity 1. Introduction: Language and Culture (Unity or Diversity) The fact that differences in culture are reflected in the patterns of the languages of the relevant cultures has been recognized over time. In this regard, one of the weaknesses modern linguists find in classical (traditional) grammar is the “logical fallacy” (Levin, 1964, p. 47) which assumed “the immutability of language” (Ubahakwe & Obi, 1979, p. 3) on the basis of which attempts were made to telescope the patterns of modern European languages (most of which are at least in past “analytic”) into the structure of the classical languages like Greek and Latin which were largely “synthetic”.

  • Inbound Tourism and Social Factors in Nigeria: Evidence from an Ardl-Ecm Model
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Asian Online Journal Publishing Group (AOJPG) Asian Journal of Economics and Empirical Research ISSN: 2409-2622 Vol. 1, No. 2, 40-47, 2014 http://asianonlinejournals.com/index.php/AJEER Inbound Tourism and Social Factors in Nigeria: Evidence from an Ardl-Ecm Model Emmanuel Okokondem Okon 1Department of Economics, Kogi State University, Anyiba, Kogi State, Nigeria Abstract This paper investigated the relationship between social factors and inbound tourism in Nigeria between 1990 and 2012. Phillip Perron unit root test revealed stationarity of the variables at their first difference while the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach to cointegration also established the long run relationship among the variables. In the short run, LOG(ILL), LOG(CRM(- 1))and DLOG(MPR(-1)) exhibited negatively significant relationship with inbound tourism in Nigeria while LOG(URB(-1)) has a positively significant relationship. The long run result indicates that LOG(URB) is positively related with tourism demand (LOG(TAR)). On the other hand, LOG(MPR) shows an inversely significant relationship with LOG(TAR).
