In doing so, it sheds new light on the general proposition that such traditional crafts necessarily decline before the technological onslaught of colonialism* A notable feature of the recent development of this craft has been the differential responses of the various clusters of blacksmiths to the new socio-economic factors introduced by the British. Of these groups, the most far-reaching changes have occurred in that located within the Central Market area of Kano City, and it is the behaviour of these craftsmen - and/or trader-entrepreneurs which provides the focus of this study. These dynamic individuals effected major advances in the manufacture and marketing of ironwares, and transformed the nature of the industry here. Attention is also given to the reason why the rapid and positive reaction to the new economic opportunities of the time was limited mainly to this group. Despite the changes in economic organisation it is argued, resultant breaches in indigenous patterns of social relationships have apparently been relatively slight. At the same time, the colonial presence, and the reorientation in production which took place later on in the City, both had important repercussions especially on urban-rural craft relations* Village black smithing communitieshitherto largely self-supporting, were drawn more and more into the economic orbit of the City, and particularly' towards the Central Market complex which became an increasingly influential node in the metalware trade* 3 CONTENTS ABSTRACT 2 A NOTE ON TRANSLITERATION 5 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 6 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 7-13 CHAPTER 2 KANO CITY AND ITS BLACKSMITHS; THE HISTORICAL SETTING 14-33 Kano City in the immediate pre-colonial era 15-17 The blacksmith in Hausa society 17-20 Pre-colonial distribution and organisation 20-24 The Central Market complex 24-3^ Summary and conclusions 30-31 Footnotes 32-33 CHAPTER 3 THE PRE-WAR PHASE CA. 1903-40: THE IMPACT OP COLONIAL RULE 34-55 Disruption within the craft 34-35 General consequences of British rule in the area 36-37 The impact on the Kano metalware industry 37-39 The introduction of imported scrap metal 39-41 Reaction to the importation of European hardware 41-45 The initial expansion of the metalware industry in Kano City 45-51 Summary and conclusions 1 51-52 Footnotes . 53-55 CHAPTER 4 KANO CITY BLACKSMITHS IN THE PERIOD OA, 1945-71 i AN OVERVIEW1 56-01 The general background: Kano City in the period ca. 1945-71 56-57 DIFFERENTIAL RESPONSES OF THE CITY BLACKSMITHS 57-76 Demographic changes 61 Changes in occupational mobility and differentiation 61-69 The practice of apprenticeship 69-70 Differential economic behaviour 70-74 Migration of rural "blacksmiths to the City 74-78 Summary and conclusions 78-79 Footnotes 80-81 CHAPTER 5 THE CENTRAL MARKET COMPLEX Iff THE TRANSITIONAL PHASE CA. 1940-71: THE DEVELOPMENT OF AH IMPORT-RE- PLACING METALWARE INDUSTRY 82-105 The present-day manufacture of traditional metalwares 82-88 THE EMERGENCE OF AIT IMPORT-SUBSTITUTING METALWARE INDUSTRY 88-102 War-time curbs, on the importation of foreign metalwares 89-90 The organisation of production in the cold- smithing industry 91-93 Changes in the social organisation of production 93-98 Patterns of distribution 98-102 Summary and conclusions 102-105 Footnotes 104-105 CHAPTER 6 THE CENTRAL MARKET ENTREPRENEURS; THEIR NETWORKS AND PROJECTED FACTORY 106-124 THE RISE OF THE ’BIG MSN’ 106-119 Economic networks: the case of the Central Market and Tamburawa 112-115 The Central Market entrepreneurs and the Nigerian Civil War 115-119 The projected establishment of a metalware factory 119-122 Footnotes 123-124 CHAPTER 7 PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS 125-137 Footnotes 137 REFERENCES 138-146 TABLES AND FIGURES Table 1.

Those who helped me the most were the blacksmiths of Kano City and Tamburawa, without whose co-operation my research would not have been possible. A number of them treated me with particular kindness and patience, and these friends deserve a special mention. They include Malam Ado Mafieri who died unfortunately in 1972, a few years short of his hundredth birthday, his great-great nephew Malam Abdullahi, Sarkin Mafcera Lawal Tanko, Malam Audu Sipeto, Malam Balandauda, and Malam Sabo Wakilin Tauri. Also Alhaji Abdullahi Ibrahim and his brother Alhaji Isa Lamai, Alhaji Amlnu Lulau, Alhaji Rabi*u, Alhaji Malam La varan, Alhaji Malam Idi, Malam Shehu Shugaban Hediyo, Malam Nasidi and Malam Braima, all of the Central Market, Kano. And in Tamburawa, Malam Jada, Malam Bature and Malam Ahmadu Mado were especially helpful. I am also grateful to the Bair of Kano, His Highness Alhaji Ado Bayero, for permission to live inside the old City of Kano, and to his officials who opened many doors for me. Alhaji Isa Dan tube, the village head of Tamburawa, also provided much assistance for which I am grateful. I would like to thank too the (Nigerian) National Archives, Kaduna (NAK) for their help, and Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria for appointing me as a research associate. Financial support for my field research was provided by the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, and by the Central Research Fund, to whom I am indebted. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to ray colleagues at the School, especially my thesis supervisor, Professor Abner Cohen, and also at Ahmadu Bello University and Bayero University, Kano, for their contributions and encouragement throughout. None of these people should be held responsible for any errors of fact or judgement in the final version. 7 CHAPTER 1 BTTR03XTCTI0N Veiy little has been documented about the indigenous industries in Nigeria although their labour absorp­ tion per unit of capital is high and their apprentice system has been training young people long before trade centres or vocational schools were established* (Callaway, 1967 : 157). My justification for embarking upon and later writing up this study is that it is designed to help fill what still appears to be a considerable hole in one particular field of African studies — the precise quantitative effect of the colonial system on a pre-colonial craft industry* Much of the change and development we see taking place today on the African continent is a direct result of the impact of the West on traditional societies. Whilst economic change and growth in the developed areas of the world are well-documented however, relatively little attention has been given, as far as I am aware, to what constitutes the dominant theme of this thesis — the exact response of a traditional, i.e. pre-European African craft to the socio-economic changes of the twentieth century. It seems that Callaway*s observation, quoted above, still has some validity therefore* In the vast corpus of material on African affairs, anthropological, economic and historical, there is no lack of references, often rather casual, to this problem.^- Of these generalizations moreover, a number allude to the gradual dislocation of traditional occupations under the pressure of the impinging colonial economic system* However, few of them it should be added, appear to be supported by any detailed statistical or descriptive evidence. It is true that several comprehensive descriptions of Nigerian craft activities are available, notably Nadel's (1942) excellent account of industries amongst the Nupe, and those craft surveys conducted by Lloyd (1953) and Callaway (1967) in Yorubaland.

CABI Agric Biosci (2021) 2:25 https://doi.org/10.1186/s43170-021-00046-7 CABI Agriculture and Bioscience RESEARCH Open Access Appraisal of cowpea cropping systems and farmers’ perceptions of production constraints and preferences in the dry savannah areas of Nigeria Saba Baba Mohammed1,2, Daniel Kwadjo Dzidzienyo2* , Muhammad Lawan Umar1, Mohammad Faguji Ishiyaku1, Pangirayi Bernard Tongoona2 and Vernon Gracen2,3 Abstract Background: Low plant density and wide intra-plant spacing in traditional cowpea cropping systems are among the factors responsible for low yield on farmers’ felds. Sole cropping and improved intercropping systems have been advocated in the last few years to increase yield in the dry savannah areas of Nigeria. This study investigated the level of adoption of high yielding cowpea cropping systems including factors that infuenced their use and farmers’ perceived production constraints and preferences. A total of 420 farmers across 36 villages of northern Nigeria were interviewed, and data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics to appraise farmers predominant cowpea cropping systems and factors that determine the use of sole versus intercropping were identifed with the aid of binary logit regression. Furthermore, pairwise comparison ranking was deployed to understand farmers’ view of cow- pea production constraints and preferred traits. Results: The results revealed that, many of the farmers (42%) still grow cowpeas in the traditional intercropping and a good number (25%) cultivate the crop as a sole crop, while 23% had felds of cowpeas in both sole and intercropping systems. Farmers reported the incidence of high insect pests, limited access to land, desire to have multiple benefts, and assurance in the event of crop failure as reasons for preference for intercropping over sole planting.

Most parts of the south and some parts of the north central had rainfall amounts exceeding 100mm. Surplus soil moisture conditions were observed in most parts of the country exception for few areas like Sokoto, Gusau, Katsina, Nguru, Potiskum, Maiduguri, Ilorin and Warri which had deficits. Most parts of the country had normal temperatures while warmer than normal temperatures have persisted along the extreme north (Sokoto, Katsina, Nguru, Potiskum, Maiduguri, Gusau and Kano). Areas in and around Jos, Shaki, Iseyin and Eket were colder than normal. Temperatures below 32 Deg C were recorded in most parts of the country while the extreme north had above 32 Deg C. Harvest of maize, cassava, fruity vegetables and new yams remained the dominant field activity during the dekad. 1.0 RAINFALL TREND 1.1 Rainfall Anomaly Katsina, Nguru, Maiduguri, Ilorin Shaki and Warri which had below 30mm. The highest rainfall amounts were recorded in Uyo, Ogoja and Asaba with 211.9mm, 221.3mm and 289.6mm respectively. 1.3 COMPARISON OF NORMAL WITH ACTUAL RAINFALL FOR THE DEKAD Figs 3A & B below are the comparison of the actual rainfall amount with normal rainfall values in some selected stations across the south and the north of the country. Both figures show that most stations in both the north and south had below normal rainfall.

  • Nutrition Success
    Introducing the Immunity Boosting Sweet Potato to Kano State Nigeria is one of the countries with the highest risk of Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD). It is also particularly challenging to reach the most vulnerable children in rural, hard to reach communities as these communities are often missed during Vitamin A supplementation programs. As such, only two in five children receive adequate levels of supplementation, leaving a higher percentage of children at risk of Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD). National surveys show that Kano state has one of the lowest vitamin A uptake levels. eHealth Africa received funding from the German Cooperation (GIZ) to implement a pilot project with the goal of supplementing vitamin A uptake and Pictures from the hands-on training and cooking demon- diversifying the diets of GIZ farmers in Kano state stration. through the introduction of Orange- Fleshed Sweet Potato (OFSP).

  • Rainfall and the Length of the Growing Season in Nigeria
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLIMATOLOGY Int. J. Climatol. 24: 467–479 (2004) Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com). DOI: 10.1002/joc.1012 RAINFALL AND THE LENGTH OF THE GROWING SEASON IN NIGERIA T. O. ODEKUNLE* Department of Geography, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria Received 15 May 2003 Revised 8 December 2003 Accepted 16 December 2003 ABSTRACT This study examines the length of the growing season in Nigeria using the daily rainfall data of Ikeja, Ondo, Ilorin, Kaduna and Kano. The data were collected from the archives of the Nigerian Meteorological Services, Oshodi, Lagos. The length of the growing season was determined using the cumulative percentage mean rainfall and daily rainfall probability methods. Although rainfall in Ikeja, Ondo, Ilorin, Kaduna, and Kano appears to commence around the end of the second dekad of March, middle of the third dekad of March, mid April, end of the first dekad of May, and early June respectively, its distribution characteristics at the respective stations remain inadequate for crop germination, establishment, and development till the end of the second dekad of May, early third dekad of May, mid third dekad of May, end of May, and end of the first dekad of July respectively. Also, rainfall at the various stations appears to retreat starting from the early third dekad of October, early third dekad of October, end of the first dekad of October, end of September, and early second dekad of September respectively, but its distribution characteristics only remain adequate for crop development at the respective stations till around the end of the second dekad of October, end of the second dekad of October, middle of the first dekad of October, early October, and middle of the first dekad of September respectively.
