It is argued that ethnicity is not necessarily incompatible with nationalism and nation-building. Ethnicity and nationalism both play a role in nation-state formation. They are each functional to political stability and, therefore, to civil peace and to the ability of individual Nigerians to pursue their non-political goals. Ethnicity is functional to political stability because it provides the basis for political socialization and for popular allegiance to political actors. It provides the framework within which patronage is institutionalized and related to traditional forms of welfare within a state which is itself unable to provide such benefits to its subjects.

  • Historical Origin and Customary Land Tenancy of Rural Community in Nigeria

    Historical Origin and Customary Land Tenancy of Rural Community in Nigeria

    専修大学社会科学研究所 月報 No.684 2020 年 6 月 Historical origin and customary land tenancy of rural community in Nigeria Regina Hoi Yee Fu Introduction This paper is a record of the historical origin and customary land tenancy of the agricultural villages in Nigeria, West Africa. The ethnic group of the people concerned are the Nupe, which is the most dominant ethnic group in Niger State of Nigeria. The research was conducted in the area locates on the so-called “Middle Belt” which stretches across central Nigeria longitudinally between the eighth and the twelfth parallels north. The Middle Belt is populated largely by minority ethnic groups and is characterized by a heterogeneity and diversity of peoples and cultures. In the Niger State, the other major ethnic groups apart from the Nupe are the Hausa, the Gwari, the Fulani and the Kumuka. Literature concerning the rural Nupe community are very rare (Nadel, 1942, 1954; Forde, 1955; Masuda, 2002). The contents of this paper are mainly based on the information gathered by direct observation and unstructured interviews with local people during interrupted fieldwork conducted between 2004 and 2009. This paper aims to fill the information gap about the rural society in Nigeria, as information about the society of this country has been limited due to prolonged political instability since the 1980s. Research Area The area in which I conducted fieldwork for this paper is the “Cis-Kaduna” region of the Bida Emirate of the Niger State. Niger State locates on the central-north geopolitical zone of Nigeria1. The drainage of the state is dominated by the Niger River which forms its southern boundary.

    European Journal of Educational and Development Psychology Vol.6, No.4, pp.29-35, October 2018 ___Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) PSYCHOLOGICAL DETERMINATIONS OF CHILD ABUSE AMONG PARENTS IN KONTAGORA EMIRATE OF NIGER STATE, NIGERIA Aliyu Mohammed (Ph.D) Department of Physical and Health Education, Federal College of Education, Kontagora. ABSTRACT: The study examined psychological determination of child abuse among parents in Kontagora Emirate of Niger State. A descriptive survey research design was employed. A random sampling technique was used to select subject from the parents and a total of 400 parents were selected for the study. 170 were males, 230 were females, 120 were Christians while 280 were Muslim inclination, 260 were public servants and 140 were self-employed parents. The instrument used for the study was a self-developed structured Psychological Determinant of Child Abuse (PDCA) with reliability index of 0.76. It was revealed that stress, tension, frustration, the child’s behaviour as well as parents’ relationship are factors responsible for child abuse among others. Recommendations were made as to how parents should be taught child and home management techniques and skills. KEYWORDS: Child Abuse, Parents, Emirate, Kontagora, Psychological Determination INTRODUCTION Child abuse is the maltreatment of children. Helter and Kempe (1996) described an abused child as any child who receives non-accidental physical injury as a result of acts or omissions on the part of his parents or guardians. This description of an abused child recognizes the vulnerability of the child and the responsibility placed on child’s caretaker.

Contributions within the academic circles, family link and notable individuals/personages deserve due acknowledgement. This is because a man who beats up his doctor after he has been cured is incapable of being grateful. Nature‘s cruelty, to candour, is more bearable than man‘s ingratitude to man. Words are undoubtedly inadequate to quantify the roles of my supervisors, Dr. Kolawole David Aiyedun and Professor Samuel Ovuete Aghalino, to whom special accolades are exclusively reserved. In spite of their busy schedules as Head of Department, Senior Professor and in many other capacities, they never denied me the benefits of their supervisory acumen.

    Collaboration and the British Conquest of Bida in 1897: the Role and Achievement of the Indigenous Interest Groups0

    African Study Alonograplrs, 10(2): 69-82, August 1989 69 COLLABORATION AND THE BRITISH CONQUEST OF BIDA IN 1897: THE ROLE AND ACHIEVEMENT 0 OF THE INDIGENOUS INTEREST GROUPS > Aliyu A. IDREES Department of History, University of Jlorin ABSTRACT The British conquest of parts of Africa in the nineteenth century has attracted a lot of studies. Yet. all scholars involved hold different views especially as to the role of the indigenous African groups in it. There are those who opined that the Africans who resisted the British were patriotic in spite of the futility of their actions, and the Africans who sup­ ported the British are portrayed as collaborators or saboteurs that facilitated imperialism. Other scholars are however of the opinion that those who took sides with the British were not necessarily collaborators or unpatriotic elements but that they merely reacted to the circumstances of the time. Therefore, it is the contention of this paper that the ideas of collaboration or resistance in African history are less relevant because the two groups \\We concerned mainly with the protection of their socio-political and economic interests. The 1897 British conquest of Nupcland, which is situated in the central part of the present day Nigeria, provides a good example of the argument above. While the members of the Fulani ruling class of Bida dynasty organized a strong force to resist the British in order to maintain their own political and economic interest, significant sections of their subjects took sides with the British for similar reasons. The northeast Yoruba, the Kyadya and the Yissazhi gave their moral and material support to the British with the hope of bringing Bida domination to an end.
