Cynthia Mumbo My name is Cynthia Mumbo. I am now 38, I just turned 38. I’ve been playing basketball since I was like maybe 14, back in high school. So, when we were younger, we used to watch ‘NBA Action’ on Sunday afternoons, as the TV was never on during the day. We’d really look forward to getting to watch basketball. When I did get to see this, it was so exciting. Everyone wanted to go and watch ‘NBA Action.’ It was the coolest thing and you’d walk around with children, everyone was wearing Orlando Magic or Lakers singlets. I just got hooked up. I went to high school and I got on the hockey pitch and I saw two major injuries, and I said, ‘This is not where I’m meant to be.’ So, I got off to try basketball. I ran away from hockey.

  • 6. Africa Cup of Nations Stadiums
    6. Africa Cup of Nations stadiums The first African Cup of Nations (CAN) was organised in 1957 and has been held every two years since 1968. 16 teams have participated in each tournament since 1998. In 2010 the Confederation of African Football (CAF) decided to move the CAN to uneven years to avoid the event clashing with the FIFA World Cup. Figure 6.1: Africa Cup of Nations stadiums 2000-2010 Number of Used Venues Number of New or Major Renovated Venues 7 666 6 6 5 4 44 4 44 3 2 1 1 0 1 0 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 As the figure above shows, the CAN’s host countries have over the last ten years tended to use four to six venues – in contrast to UEFA Euro, in which 16 teams also participate but UEFA’s requirements calls for at least eight stadiums. In the last six CAN tournaments all final venues have had a capacity over 45,000 and an average capacity of just over 58,000, which is comparable to the requirements UEFA has for the stadiums that stage the UEFA Euro final. However, the average capacity of the smallest venues used for the CAN is just 19,500 seats, which differs from UEFA’s minimum requirement of 30,000 seats. Both Tunisia and Egypt, who hosted CAN in 2004 and 2006 respectively, already had a decent number of stadiums available and did not make any major investments in new stadiums. Tunisia hosted the Mediterranean Games in 2001 and leading up to these games they constructed Stade de 7 Novembre, which after the 2011 revolution is now named Stade Olympique de Radès.

  • 1999-2019: Obasanjo, Yar'adua, Jonathan and Buhari's Nigeria
    DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE AND HUMAN RIGHTS PROTECTION FROM 1999-2019: OBASANJO, YAR’ADUA, JONATHAN AND BUHARI’S NIGERIA HAPTER C 2 Romola Adeola* 1 Introduction When the military handed over power on 29 May 1999, the promise of righting the wrongs of the past and forging a strong national discourse rang notably in the speech of President Olusegun Obasanjo as the first President of the Fourth Republic.1 There was general optimism that the end of military rule and the start of a new democratic phase meant that Nigeria was on course to civil liberties and socio-economic prosperity.2 It signalled a new era of political participation, press freedom and the emergence of good governance in every facet of the Nigerian political system. There was also a prevalent impression that the new democratic era would usher in a significant boost for the economy and pave the way for solutions to some of the difficult issues that had characterised governance in Nigeria.3 The optimism was across a broad spectrum: domestic, regional and on the global front. The metaphor of a regional giant taking its place on the global democratic map rang heavy in the political analysis of Africa’s future in the wake of the twenty-first century. But whether this giant has taken its place evokes critical ponderings. On many levels, there are now mixed perceptions about the promise of the new dawn, 20 years down the line. Some argue that Nigeria, as an emerging state, * LLB (Lagos State) LLM LLD (Pretoria); Post-doctoral Fellow, Centre for Human Rights, Faculty of Law, University of Pretoria, South Africa; romola.adeola@gmail.

  • Africa's Soft Power : Philosophies, Political Values, Foreign Policies and Cultural Exports / Oluwaseun Tella
    “This seven-chapter book is a powerful testimonial to consummate African scholarship. Its analysis is rigorous, insightful, lucid and authoritative, providing fresh perspectives on selected uniquely African philosophies, and the potential­ ities, deployment and limitations of soft power in Africa’s international relations. The author rigorously Africanises the concept, broadening its analytic scope from its biased Western methodology, thus brilliantly fulfilling that great African pro­ verb made famous by the inimitable Chinua Achebe: ‘that until the lions have their own historians, the history of the hunt will always glorify the hunter’. This is truly an intellectual tour de force.” W. Alade Fawole, Professor of International Relations, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. “This book addresses an important tool in the arsenal of foreign policy from an African perspective. African states have significant soft power capacities, although soft power is not always appreciated as a lever of influence, or fully integrated into countries’ foreign policy strategies. Tella takes Nye’s original concept and Africanises it, discussing Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa via their respective philosophies of Pharaonism, Harambee, Omolúwàbí and Ubuntu. This study is a critical contribution to the literature on African foreign policies and how to use soft power to greater effect in building African agency on the global stage.” Elizabeth Sidiropoulos, Chief Executive, South African Institute of International Affairs, Johannesburg, South Africa. “Soft power is seldom associated with African states, given decades bedevilled by coup d’états, brazen dictatorships and misrule. This ground-breaking book is certainly a tour de force in conceptualising soft power in the African context.

  • Challenges of Diaspora's Contributions to Nigeria 'S National
    American Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Research (AJHSSR) 2019 American Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences Research (AJHSSR) e-ISSN :2378-703X Volume-3, Issue-4, pp-130-154 www.ajhssr.com Research Paper Open Access Challenges of Diaspora’s Contributions to Nigeria ‘S National Development: The British/American Case Study 1Prof. AJAYI KUNLE, 2Dr. ADU FUNMILAYO MODUPE 1Department of Political Science, Faculty of the Social Sciences, Ekiti State University, Ado –Ekiti 2Department of History and International Studies, Faculty of Arts, Ekiti State University, Ado -Ekiti ABSTRACT: Since 1999, the Nigerian diaspora has received a lot of attention from government and other agencies in the attempt to further encourage their contributions. Their contributions however have not had a corresponding response beyond remittances. The challenge of development is a basic need of developing countries. The need to benefit from its diaspora is an important compendium for Nigeria, as in other developing countries. Some factors however constitute hindrances to the efforts of the diaspora. These factors include but are not limited to corruption, lack of infrastructure, lack of good governance, challenges facing democratic sustenance, amongst others. In the face of such challenges, this paper provides recommendations to assist the country to tap into the resource base of its diaspora. The paper focused on the American and British Diaspora Nigerians. KEY WORDS: Challenges, Diaspora Contributions, Nigeria, National Development, Britain, America. I. INTRODUCTION Research has provided ample evidence to show that from the 1980s, the global economic recessions coupled with military interventions and political dominance created a hostile socio- political cum economic atmosphere that intensified migrations (African Foundation for Development, 2000, African Diaspora Policy Centre, 2011).
