The primary sources included archival materials, journals and oral interviews with actual participants or witnesses of event under study, the colonial period that ended in 1960. The secondary sources are mainly unpublished thesis and published textbooks, journals and seminar papers on colonialism written by mostly prominent historians. They also include travelers accounts. The Secondary Sources Published Textbooks These are written textbooks, journals and papers presented at important seminars on issues related to our topic colonialism and its impacts on the socio-economic aspects of the colonized societies from which we deduced the impacts on agriculture that concerns our study. Although there were just few literatures the researcher came across that discussed colonialism particularly on Katsina Emirate and especially Galadima district but many books touched on the subject and provided useful informations. There were also valuable papers presented on colonial agriculture which delved deep into the impacts but the major problem of these books was that only generalizations were made and little mention of Galadima district. Most of the textbooks also restricted to periods that did not tally with our periodization. Unpublished Materials These are thesis written by academicians mostly submitted to the History departments on related issues of colonialism and impacts on economy, agriculture and xii culture of various colonized communities like Galadima district or the surrounding districts in Katsina Emirate.

  • Externalisation of Borders
    EXTERNALISATION OF BORDERS February 25th and 26th, 2020 LAGOS (Nigeria) The phenomenon of re-trafficking of women repatriated in Nigeria by Kokunre A. Eghafona* Introduction Trafficking in Persons (TIP) or Human trafficking (HT) is regarded as a modern form of slavery (UN, 2001). Human trafficking is one of the most egregious human rights violations (Annan, 2001) and violations of human rights are seen to be the cause and consequence of trafficking in persons (UN, 2014). Since 2000, soon after a global treaty to combat HT was adopted, the term modern slavery is now the catch-all term to describe human trafficking, forced labour, debt bondage, sex trafficking, forced marriage and other slave-like exploitation. Human traffickers are said to be motivated by greed, driven by quota, devoid of respect for human rights, preying upon the vulnerable, and damaging the psychological and physical well-being of their victims (Toney-Butler & Mittel, 2019:1). Human Trafficking (HT), especially in women and girls, is the most visible of the categories of modern slavery in Nigeria because of its international dimension. Nigeria has remained a source, transit and destination country for women and children in human trafficking for forced labour and sex trafficking (Okojie et al, 2003; Maicibi 2008; US TIP Report 2019). Although women, men and children may all be trafficked for various purposes, trafficking is often a ‘gendered’ crime. Available evidence suggests that those who are trafficked into the sex industry and as domestic servants are more likely to be women and children (USDOS: 2011; WHO 2012). According to Annan (2001), HT thrives on discrimination against women, especially the increasing “feminization of poverty” and it is driven by organised gangs of traffickers, who ruthlessly exploit their victims for the easy profit they hope to gain.

  • Legacies of Colonialism and Islam for Hausa Women: an Historical Analysis, 1804-1960
    Legacies of Colonialism and Islam for Hausa Women: An Historical Analysis, 1804-1960 by Kari Bergstrom Michigan State University Winner of the Rita S. Gallin Award for the Best Graduate Student Paper in Women and International Development Working Paper #276 October 2002 Abstract This paper looks at the effects of Islamization and colonialism on women in Hausaland. Beginning with the jihad and subsequent Islamic government of ‘dan Fodio, I examine the changes impacting Hausa women in and outside of the Caliphate he established. Women inside of the Caliphate were increasingly pushed out of public life and relegated to the domestic space. Islamic law was widely established, and large-scale slave production became key to the economy of the Caliphate. In contrast, Hausa women outside of the Caliphate were better able to maintain historical positions of authority in political and religious realms. As the French and British colonized Hausaland, the partition they made corresponded roughly with those Hausas inside and outside of the Caliphate. The British colonized the Caliphate through a system of indirect rule, which reinforced many of the Caliphate’s ways of governance. The British did, however, abolish slavery and impose a new legal system, both of which had significant effects on Hausa women in Nigeria. The French colonized the northern Hausa kingdoms, which had resisted the Caliphate’s rule. Through patriarchal French colonial policies, Hausa women in Niger found they could no longer exercise the political and religious authority that they historically had held. The literature on Hausa women in Niger is considerably less well developed than it is for Hausa women in Nigeria.

  • Understanding Nigeria Within the Context of the Atlantic World
    Omer Cooper J (1971) September 2010 Newsletter Understanding Nigeria within the Context of the Atlantic World By Samuel Oluwole Ogundele* Abstract The legacies of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, and its enduring impacts in Nigeria starting in the mid-15th century, present a paradox. Those oppressive activities, orchestrated by European interests, comprise a subject that evokes intense emotional reactions to condemn such incidents of slavery, economic exploitation, and political subjugation. Continuing, damaging effects of the trans-Atlantic slave trade can be seen in the cultural landscape of Nigeria today. In turn, enduring lessons of human character, aspiration, and resilience can also be learned from these histories. In this regard, a paradigm shift presented by trans-disciplinary approaches involving such subjects as archaeology and anthropology presents a promising development. For too long, attention has been almost totally focused on the debilitating effects of the trans-Atlantic slave trade on facets of Nigerian cultures. Such an approach was derived from a discourse of condemnation that tended to inhibit the full potentials of modern education and appreciation of cultural accomplishments in Nigeria’s history. The lacunae of silences created as a result of this condemnatory focus and related parameters of authenticity or truth can be filled in through the lenses of archaeological and anthropological sciences among other disciplines. Such trans-disciplinary research efforts provide new insights into the resilience and achievements of Nigerian cultures. For example, agricultural, culinary, and architectural knowledge and heritage were greatly modified over time in Nigeria as a result of the historical processes and entanglements generated during the period of the trans-Atlantic slave trade.

  • Human Trafficking: a Modern Day Slavery in Nigeria
    American International Journal of Contemporary Research Vol. 8, No. 2, June 2018 doi:10.30845/aijcr.v8n2p5 Human Trafficking: A Modern Day Slavery in Nigeria Folashade B. Okeshola Deparment of Sociology Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria Nigeria Adebimpe A. Adenugba Department of Sociology University of Ibadan Nigeria Abstract Human trafficking in Nigeria has assumed unimaginable dimension in the last two decades due to several factors which include globalization, economic recession, poverty, conflicts, weak legal system, and lack of adequate legislation and of political will. Human trafficking is an organised crime. It is a modern form of slavery. The two weapons used by traffickers to get their victims are deception and through force. Human trafficking has continued to strive in Nigeria because of collusion among security, immigration, embassy, airline officials and traffickers. Human trafficking had become a major source of concern to all societies in recent time. Human trafficking has put Nigeria on the map of the notorious. In view of the above, we recommend that the Nigerian government should address the issue of massive unemployment and poverty in Nigeria as well as create enabling environments for entrepreneurship for the citizens. Keywords: Deception, forced labour, exploitation, trafficking, slavery 1.0 Introduction Human trafficking is a crime. This crime has been on for some time, without much government notice or attention being drawn to the issue. The first worthwhile attention was drawn to the idea of human trafficking by Mrs.TitiAtiku, the wife of the then vice president of Nigeria. This subsequently led to the establishment of her pet project WOTCLEF. In furtherance of her dream and to redeem the image of Nigeria in general and dignity of women in particular, a bill was proposed to set up an agency to be given specific mandate to tackle the problem of human trafficking in Nigeria.

  • Origin of Sullubawa
    Origin of the Sullubawa he Sullubawa Clan is one of the Fulani Clans in West Africa. Fulani is a Hausa plural word with the singular Ba-Fillaci of the people who call Tthemselves Fulbe (singular Pulo) in their own language of Fulfulde. In French, they are called “Peuls or Peulhs” while in Arabic they are known as Fellata with masculine singular Fellati and feminine singular Fellatiyya (Hunwick 1966: 36-37). Torankawa (singular, Ba toranke) is the Hausa word (Hunwick 1966: 305 note 4) for all the Fulfulde speakers who originated from Futa Toro of Senegal and in Fulfulde they are called Toorobbe or Toorodbe (singular Tooroodo), Toucouleur in French (Klein 1968: 66) and Takrur in Arabic (Iliffe 1995: 72). But they belong to different tribes and clans such as Ba'en, Jallube, Yirlaabe, Wolarbe and Ferrobe (Idrissou 1979: 340). In fact some of them distinguish themselves as a separate entity distinct from other Fulbe thus they became identified as Toronkawa in Nigeria. ©Ibrahim Ado-Kurawa 2019 Sullubawan Dabo: An Illustrated History 1819-2019) There are several versions of the origin of the Fulani people. Wazirin Sokoto Junaidu was the leading authority on the history of the Fulani and he traced their origin to Biblical Esau. Who was the son of the Prophet Ishaq (AS), the son of Prophet Ibrahim (AS). They moved from Sinai and settled at Toro in West Africa, where they got their name of Toronkawa (the people of Toro). Uqbat Ibn Naif the great Muslim Leader converted them to Islam and married Bajju Manga the daughter of their Chief.
