The very letters of the term YOUTH reflect the true meaning of a young life to a greater extent. It is the season of strength and stamina with a fresh and new psyche. It is the plethora of flowering capacities and budding leadership. It is the endless and determined attempts to achieve goals. It is the tolerated pains of difficulties to overcome various dilemmas. Through all these dimensions it is in fact the journey towards a utopia, a better world for the humanity. This is why the Commonwealth Young Achievers’ book has been titled as YOUTH. Nevertheless, the youth has universally been defined as a specific time period of one’s life. In accordance with the United Nations, the youth is defined as those persons between the ages of 15 and 24 years whereas the Commonwealth interprets youth as young people between the ages of 15 and 29. Pursuant to the African Youth Charter, youth denotes persons between the ages of 15 and 35 years. Further, different countries have defined youth in terms of age at national level. These static definitions have been formulated mainly for statistical and demographic purposes. On the contrary, from a philosophical perspective, youth is not a particular time period of an individual but a psychological status. That is why Robert Kennedy articulates that “This world demands the qualities of youth: not a time of life but a state of mind, a temper of the will, a quality of imagination, a predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the life of ease.” These philosophical definitions are predominantly based on psychosocial, socioeconomic, and sociopolitical contexts and the relevant youth definitions and concepts have been changing in line with fluctuating economic, political, and sociocultural circumstances. It is emphatic that the world’s youth pollution has significantly increased in the current demographic context. The United Nations Population Fund in its report, The Power of 1.8 Billion: Adolescents, Youth and the Transformation of the Future, reflects that “Our world is home to 1.8 billion young people between the ages of 10 and 24, and the youth population is growing fastest in the poorest nations”. The paramount picture is that 89 percent of the global youth population live in less developed countries creating a unique challenge to the policy makers. Moreover, in the 53 countries of Commonwealth, majority of which are 2 COMMONWEALTH 2015 YOUNG ACHIEVERS Years of Vigour and Freshness Years of Vigour and Freshness Ocean of Potentials Unending Efforts and Enthusiasm Tears of Hardships Hope for a Better World developing countries, more than 60 percent of the total population is youth, i. e. over 1.2 billion are young people below the age of 30. This youth bulge may be a great challenge but it is a wonderful challenge that creates colossal opportunities for development. It is needless to mention that young people possess vast potentials and thereby an effective investment for sustainable development. The cardinal factor is to guide them into correct developmental avenues. There are numerous young role models who walk in different inspirational paths creating manifold development dimensions that galvanize young people in the world to strive for their individual development and social progress as a whole. In this context, this book is a portrayal of success stories of divers and brilliant young people from across the Commonwealth nations who have impacted in their communities and lives of others. The reflections of these unique role models will inspire youths to unleash their potentials that would pave the way for a better future. It is significant that 112 portraits of young achievers from the five regions in the Commonwealth are reflected in the book. Divers role models in different thematic areas; 32 from 14 countries in Africa, 29 from 7 countries in Asia, 23 from 10 countries in Caribbean and Amerces, 16 from 3 countries in Europe, and 12 from 7 Pacific countries, in total 112 brilliant young minds from 41 Commonwealth nations convey major life lessons, experience of their hardships and how they were overcome in addition to their unique achievements and advice to the young audience in the world. The following is a table of countries in the 5 regions of the Commonwealth from which the young achievers are depicted in the book. It is momentous that the book profiles great young people from 41 out of 53 countries of the Commonwealth.

Moreover, the paramount aspect is that the book reflects portraits of young people who have overcome harsh realities. Marginalized youth, refugees, war victims, child soldiers, youth with disabilities, youth who suffered from psychological ailments and other precarious diseases, and youth who lived in pathetic milieus such as violence; murders; mafia; extreme poverty; underdeveloped areas; all these portraits forms the didactic spectrum of the book. Further, profiles of indigenous youth enhance the diversity of the protagonists manifested in the book. In addition to the portraits of young achievers, the book conveys articles on different thematic areas such as youth volunteerism, youth in politics, youth in environmental protection, youth in peace-building and social cohesion, youth entrepreneurship, youth ideas on civic participation, and youth-led social change. These articles were written by youth experts from different Commonwealth countries analyzing the thematic areas from various perspectives. The Commonwealth Youth Council expects that the Young Achievers Book will inspire young people in the world to flower their potentials in search of a utopia, a better world for the humanity. 4 COMMONWEALTH 2015 YOUNG ACHIEVERS Years of Vigour and Freshness Years of Vigour and Freshness Ocean of Potentials Unending Efforts and Enthusiasm Tears of Hardships Hope for a Better World ACKNOWLEDGEMENT • The Queen’s Young Leaders Programme • Youth Affairs Division of the Commonwealth Secretariat • Commonwealth Students Association • Commonwealth Youth Climate Change Network • Commonwealth Youth Sport for Development and Peace • Commonwealth Youth Climate Change Network • Commonwealth Asia Alliance of Young Entrepreneurs • All the youth leaders who helped find high TH TH L L COMMONWEA COMMONWEA profiles of young achievers 2015 S S R R CHIEVE CHIEVE A A G G N N OU OU Y Y COMMONWEALTH 5 YOUNG ACHIEVERS 2015 Years of Vigour and Freshness Ocean of Potentials Unending Efforts and Enthusiasm Tears of Hardships Hope for a Better World 6 COMMONWEALTH 2015 YOUNG ACHIEVERS Years of Vigour and Freshness Years of Vigour and Freshness Ocean of Potentials Unending Efforts and Enthusiasm Tears of Hardships Hope for a Better World FOREWORD MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRPERSON, COMMONWEALTH YOUTH COUNCIL Dear Reader, I present to you an exhibition of talent, virtue, hard work, commitment and passion.

Umar Mustapha Aliyu, was briefed by the facilitators during their visit to the palace. Immediately after the visit, the Emir of Biu on 15 January 2018 established an office known as Dakin Sulhu (Mediation Centre). Mediation commenced at the Centre on 20 January 2018. So far we have mediated and resolved seven cases related to land, community leadership and family issue. A very important one is a case of mediation that settled the difference between two community leaders, Mal Kawo and Mal Magaji. Both of them had been contesting for leadership in their community and had been in dispute for the past 9 years, not even talking to each other. But with the intervention of the Dakin Sulhu, the dispute was laid to rest, and now they live amicably with each other.” Zannan Sulhu of Biu Emirate, head of Biu Emirate Mediation Centre (Dakin Sulhu) 1 Community Leaders shaking hands shortly after a 9-year old quarrel between them was settled at the Dakin Sulhu (Biu Emirate Mediation Centre).

  • Geographical Study of Rural Urban Migration in Damaturu Mohammed
    African Scholar VOL. 15 NO. 4 Publications & ISSN: 1896-6783 Research SEPTEMBER, 2019 International African Scholar Journal of Env. Design & Construction Mgt. (JECM-4) Geographical Study of Rural Urban Migration in Damaturu Mohammed Alhaji Abdullahi1, Ali Adamu Mahadi2, Modibbo Babagana Kyari3 Department of Basic Science, Yobe State College of Agriculture Gujba1, 2, Department of Geography, Yobe State University Damaturu3 Abstract The migration from rural to urban areas is an important part of the urbanization process in Damaturu town. Even though it has been the focus of abundant research over the past five decades, some key policy questions have not found clear answers yet. To what extent is rural-urban migration a desirable phenomenon and under what circumstances? Should governments intervene and if so with what types of interventions? What should be their policy objectives? To shed light on these important issues, I survey the existing theoretical models and their conflicting policy implications, and discuss the policies that may be justified based on recent relevant empirical studies. A key limitation is that much of the empirical literature does not provide structural tests of the theoretical models, but only provides partial findings that can support or invalidate intuitions and in that sense support or invalidate the policy implications of the models. My broad assessment of the literature is that migration can be beneficial or at least be turned into a beneficial phenomenon, so that in general migration restrictions are not desirable. I also identify some data issues and research topics which merit further investigation. With the recent development of Damaturu town, the town witness a high rate of development and population growth.

  • Samuel Johnson on the Egyptian Origin of the Yoruba
    SAMUEL JOHNSON ON THE EGYPTIAN ORIGIN OF THE YORUBA by Jock Matthew Agai A thesis submitted to the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2016 Declaration I, Jock Matthew Agai, hereby declare that ‘SAMUEL JOHNSON ON THE EGYPTIAN ORIGIN OF THE YORUBA’ is my own original work, and that it has not been previously accepted by any other institution for the award of a degree, and that all quotations have been distinguished by quotation mark, and all sources of information have been duly acknowledged. __________________________ Jock Matthew Agai (Student) ______________________ Professor Phillippe Denis (Supervisor) 30 November 2016 i Dedication This research is dedicated to my grandmother, the late Ngo Margaret alias Nakai Shingot, who passed away in 2009, during which time I was preparing for this research. She was my best friend. May her gentle soul rest in peace. ii Thesis statement The Yoruba oral tradition, according to which the original ancestors of the Yoruba originated from the “East,” was popular in Yorubaland during the early 19th century. Before the period 1846 to 1901, the East was popularly perceived by the Yoruba as Arabia, Mecca or Saudi Arabia. Samuel Johnson (1846-1901) mentioned that Mohammed Belo (1781-1837) was among the first Africans to write that the East meant Arabia, Mecca or Saudi Arabia. He contested the views of associating the East with a Muslim land or a Muslim origin. In contrast to these views, Johnson believed that the East actually meant Egypt. This thesis presents research into Samuel Johnson’s contribution towards the development of the tradition of Egyptian origins of the Yoruba.
