  • 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.

  • Culture As a Tool for Peace, Political and Economy Sustainability in Nigeria
    International Journal of Operational Research in Management, Social Sciences & Education | IJORMSSE p-ISSN: 2536-6521 | e-ISSN: 2536-653X Volume 5 Number 2 October, 2019 Culture as a Tool for Peace, Political and Economy Sustainability in Nigeria Adeniyi, Adekunle Oludare Department of Theatre Arts, Federal College of Education, Abeokuta, Ogun State A b s t r a c t he growing global security challenges, political and economic downturn, have reawaken humanity to the imperative of culture in the society. TCulture in all its ramications is essentially man made. It is socially acquired phenomenon which is intrinsically value laden, adaptive and highly sensitive to the environment within which it evolves. Peace, political and economy stability is what every society craved for, but in man's attempt to come to terms with realities of life in order to make ends meet, violence and struggle became inevitable. In addressing these tripartite of challenges, culture being a way of life of the people and their responses to their challenges became imperative in solving our avoidable challenges as a nation. In achieving this, the paper examined the role of culture as a tool for peace, political and economy sustainability in Nigeria. To this end, an exploration of the denitions and concept culture cum cultural administration in pre-literate Nigerian society were looked into in order to inspire the present and to embolden the future. The paper therefore, made an appeal to all and sundry to go back to our roots, to identify and uphold our cultural values, norms and tradition in face technology and globalization noting that the reason Nigeria economy, peace and political stability has not actually collapsed is simply because of the strength and resilience in our culture.
