Many clubs, national associations and the international federa- tions UEFA and FIFA have spoken out and taken action against the problem. The anti-racism movement in football has recently been honoured by a number of European-wide awards. But five years ago, in February 1999, when supporter groups, anti-racist NGOs and ethnic minority organisations from 14 Eu- ropean countries came together in Vienna to found the Football Foto: FairPlay/H.

  • Football Against Racism - European Commission and UEFA Cooperate
    IP/97/62 Brussels, 28 janvier 1997 Football Against Racism - European Commission and UEFA cooperate For the first time ever, a European All-Star team will play an All-Star African team. This historic match is being played in the framework of the European Year Against Racism 1997, on the basis of cooperation between the European Commission and UEFA. It will be the first big sport event dedicated to the spirit of the Year. This match will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, on Wednesday 29 January at 21h15. It will be broadcast by a number of television stations in Europe (RTP in Portugal, TVE in Spain, RTL in Germany, RTI in Italy, Mega Channel in Greece and Star TV in Turkey). It will also be shown by national broadcasters in the majority of African countries, including SABC in South Africa, and by the international network of American broadcaster, ESPN. The key message of the event is that racism has no place in sport and football. The Commission very much welcomes UEFA’s active involvement in the European Year. In Europe, there is no sport which attracts more attention and involvement than football, and there is no other sport which is enjoyed by so many people from different backgrounds and origins. The All-Star African team has many players who play for European teams such as Ajax , Anderlecht and FC Köln (see Annex). The revenue from the match will be used for football projects in Africa. There will be a discussion on racism and football during half-time. Padraig Flynn, European Commissioner with responsibility for Employment and Social Affairs, will contribute to this debate by video, as he has to be in The Hague on 30 January for the Opening Conference of the European Year against Racism.

    AHISTORYOFNIGERIA Nigeria is Africa’s most populous country and the world’s eighth largest oil producer, but its success has been undermined in recent decades by ethnic and religious conflict, political instability, rampant official corruption, and an ailing economy. Toyin Falola, a leading historian intimately acquainted with the region, and Matthew Heaton, who has worked extensively on African science and culture, combine their expertise to explain the context to Nigeria’s recent troubles, through an exploration of its pre-colonial and colonial past and its journey from independence to statehood. By exami- ning key themes such as colonialism, religion, slavery, nationalism, and the economy, the authors show how Nigeria’s history has been swayed by the vicissitudes of the world around it, and how Nigerians have adapted to meet these challenges. This book offers a unique portrayal of a resilient people living in a country with immense, but unrealized, potential. toyin falola is the Frances Higginbotham Nalle Centennial Professor in History at the University of Texas at Austin. His books include The Power of African Cultures (2003), Economic Reforms and Modernization in Nigeria, 1945–1965 (2004), and A Mouth Sweeter than Salt: An African Memoir (2004). matthew m. heaton is a Patrice Lumumba Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin. He has co-edited multiple volumes on health and illness in Africa with Toyin Falola, including HIV/AIDS, Illness and African Well-Being (2007) and Health Knowledge and Belief Systems in Africa (2007).

  • Lessons from Ajegunle Slum in Lagos, Nigeria Kunle Ifesanya
    Artykuły Articles Transforming social exclusion to benefit in the slum areas of the Global South through neighbourhood identity: lessons from Ajegunle slum in Lagos, Nigeria Kunle Ifesanya Institute for European Urban Studies, Bauhaus University Weimar Belvederer Allee 4, Weimar 99423, Germany [email protected] Immaculata Nwokoro Department of Urban and Regional Planning, University of Lagos University of Lagos, PMB 56, Akoka, Yaba, Lagos, Nigeria [email protected] ___________________________________________________________________________ Abstract Contemporary urban areas are continually being fragmented based on socio-economic and cultural differences and large proportions of the populations in the cities of the Global South are, consequently, excluded from access to basic infrastructure and general socio-economic opportunities. David Harvey accentuates this contemporary trend in urbanisation, positing that it aggravates the proliferation of slums. Despite vast research on the social and environmental challenges of slum proliferation and their consequences, little is known about the potential positive value of the communal identity and solidarity in these slums. Ajegunle, Africa’s largest slum neighbourhood and the sixth largest in the world, was adopted as a case study for this research. Karl Marx’ theory of social conflict and a novel variant of Albert Hirschman’s concept of ‘exit, voice, and loyalty’ constituted the theoretical framework for the research. The research methodology comprised both quantitative and qualitative methods. Primary data were gathered thorough questionnaires, interviews and personal observation, while secondary information was sought from relevant printed and online sources. The paper argues that social exclusion can stir up neighbourhood identity among the marginalised and ‘voiceless’ poor slum dwellers to create unusual benefit that mitigate socio-economic disadvantages.

  • LE FOOTBALL CONTRE LE RACISME - LA COMMISSION EUROPÉENNE ET L’UEFA COOPÈRENT
    IP/97/62 Bruxelles, le 28 janvier 1997 LE FOOTBALL CONTRE LE RACISME - LA COMMISSION EUROPÉENNE ET l’UEFA COOPÈRENT Pour la toute première fois, une équipe européenne exclusivement composée de grands joueurs rencontrera une équipe africaine de même niveau. Cette rencontre historique se jouera dans le cadre de 1997 - Année européenne de la lutte contre le racisme grâce à la coopération entre la Commission européenne et l’UEFA. Il s’agira de la première grande manifestation sportive dédiée à cette Année européenne. Le match aura lieu à Lisbonne, au Portugal, le mercredi 29 janvier à 21h15. Il sera retransmis par un certain nombre de chaînes de télévision d’Europe (RTP au Portugal, TVE en Espagne, RTL en Allemagne, RTI en Italie, Mega Channel en Grèce et Star TV en Turquie). Il sera également retransmis par les chaînes nationales de la plupart des pays d’Afrique, notamment SABC en Afrique du Sud, et sur le réseau international de la chaîne américaine ESPN. Il s’agit essentiellement de faire savoir qu’il n’y a pas de place pour le racisme dans le sport et le football. La Commission se félicite de l’engagement actif de l’UEFA dans l’Année européenne. En Europe, aucun sport ne suscite plus d’attention et d’engouement que le football et aucun autre sport n’est plus apprécié par autant de personnes de tous horizons. L’équipe africaine de grandes vedettes compte de nombreux joueurs évoluant dans des équipes européennes telles qu’Ajax, Anderlecht, et le FC de Cologne (voir en annexe). La recette de la rencontre servira à financer des projets pour le football en Afrique.

  • An Analysis of Nigeria's Super Eagles
    AN ANALYSIS OF NIGERIA Page 1 of 3 AN ANALYSIS OF NIGERIA’S SUPER EAGLES AT THE 2002 WORLD CUP AND THE FUTURE OF OUR NATIONAL TEAM BY OCHE ONAZI, LL. B., BL. JOS, NIGERIA. After the performance of the Super Eagles at the Mali 2002 African Nations Cup, many of us didn’t expect anything satisfactory from our National team at the on-going World Cup. This feeling was further strengthened by the decision of the authorities to disband the Mali 2002 team and reconstitute a new team just a few months to the World Cup. Furthermore, the unfavourable World Cup draws, which put our team with arguably the strongest Soccer playing nations in the World, strengthened the sceptism about the team. The mandate was given to Chief Adeboyega Onigbinde to raise a new team that would give a reasonable account of itself at the tournament. This decision was greeted with mixed emotions by Nigerians at home and abroad, some including myself felt it was the right decision to take having witnessed an aging Super Eagles whose only motivation to play for the country was the amount of money they would make. Others, including some of our prominent players were of the opinion that the sacking of the coach and the building of a new team a few month’s before the world cup would ruin Nigeria’s chances of wining the World Cup. This may be right but I would like to ask them if they realistically thought Nigeria could have won the World cup with the team we saw at the Nations Cup? This was not the only controversy that came with the decision to disband the Team; there was the question of whether Chief Onigbinde was the right man for the job? I must confess that many others including myself did not really expect much from him, as I thought a foreign Coach should have been called in to take over the side.
