South Africa and the African Renaissance
South Africa and the African Renaissance PETER VALE* AND SIPHO MASEKO On May , immediately prior to the adoption of South Africa’s new con- stitution,Thabo Mbeki, Nelson Mandela’s chosen successor, opened his address to the country’s Constitutional Assembly with the words ‘I am an African!’. In an inclusionary speech, symptomatic of post-apartheid South Africa, Mbeki drew strands of the country’s many histories together. His words evoked great emotion within the assembly chamber, and later throughout the country: across the political spectrum, South Africans strongly associated themselves with the spirit of reconciliation and outreach caught in his words. South Africa’s reunification with the rest of the continent had been a significant sub-narrative within the processes which led to negotiation over the ending of apartheid. That South Africa would become part of the African community was, of course, beyond doubt; what was at issue was both the sequence of events by which this would happen and the conditionalities attached to its happening.The continent’s enthusiasm for the peace process in South Africa was initially uneven: the Organization of African Unity (OAU) summit in June decided to retain sanctions against South Africa although the Nigerian leader, General Ibrahim Babingida, expressed an interest in meet- ing South Africa’s then President, F.W.de Klerk, if such an occasion ‘would help bring about majority rule.’ The political prize attached to uniting South Africa with the rest of the continent explains why South Africa’s outgoing minority government, despite energetic and expensive diplomatic effort, was unable to deliver its own version of South Africa in Africa. -

A Socio- Economic History of Alcohol in Southeastern Nigeria Since 1890
CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Background to the Study Alcohol has various socio-economic and cultural functions among the people of southeastern Nigeria. It is used in rituals, marriages, oath taking, festivals and entertainment. It is presented as a mark of respect and dignity. The basic alcoholic beverage produced and consumed in the area was palm -wine tapped from the oil palm tree or from the raffia- palm. Korieh notes that, from the fifteenth century contacts between the Europeans and peoples of eastern Nigeria especially during the Atlantic slave trade era, brought new varieties of alcoholic beverages primarily, gin and whisky.1 Thus, beginning from this period, gins especially schnapps from Holland became integrated in local culture of the peoples of Eastern Nigeria and even assumed ritual position.2 From the 1880s, alcohol became accepted as a medium of exchange for goods and services and a store of wealth.3 By the early twentieth century, alcohol played a major role in the Nigerian economy as one third of Nigeria‘s income was derived from import duties on liquor.4 Nevertheless, prior to the contact of the people of Southern Nigeria with the Europeans, alcohol was derived mainly from the oil palm and raffia palm trees which were numerous in the area. These palms were tapped and the sap collected and drunk at various occasions. From the era of the Trans- Atlantic slave trade, the import of gin, rum and whisky became prevalent.These were used in ex-change for slaves and to pay comey – a type of gratification to the chiefs. Even with the rise of legitimate trade in the 19th century alcoholic beverages of various sorts continued to play important roles in international trade.5 Centuries of importation of gin into the area led to the entrenchment of imported gin in the culture of the people. -

Exploring Diplomatic Crisis of Nigeria and South Africa Between 1994 and 2013
E-ISSN 2281-4612 Academic Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies Vol 4 No 1 ISSN 2281-3993 MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy March 2015 Exploring Diplomatic Crisis of Nigeria and South Africa between 1994 and 2013 Samuel Augustine Umezurike Department of Politics and International Studies (POLIS), University of Zululand, KwaDlangezwa, South Africa [email protected] or [email protected] Dr Asuelime E Lucky Department of Politics and International Studies (POLIS), University of Zululand, KwaDlangezwa, 3886, South Africa Email: [email protected] Doi:10.5901/ajis.2015.v4n1p65 Abstract Nigeria’s relations with South Africa were of double standard during the apartheid era. The post-independence Nigeria and the apartheid regime in Pretoria relations were sour and confrontational, while it was friendly between Nigeria and the liberation movements in South Africa, especially with the African National Congress (ANC). It was more so because Nigeria adopted Africa as the centerpiece of its foreign policy, and committed itself to the total liberation of the African continent from colonialism and racism. Nigeria staged untiring opposition to colonialism on the African continent, and the racism that existed in South Africa before 1994. The beginning of a new era started in the final days of apartheid in South Africa when President de Klerk visited Nigeria in April 1992 to discuss bilateral issues, mostly trade relations. The paper examines, however, Nigeria and South Africa’s diplomatic fluidity since re-establishing formal relations in 1994 in order to understand the causes of the misunderstanding and the effect on both countries’ relations and suggest better ways to foster their relations. -
Governor Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko of Sokoto State, Nigeria
Spotlight on the achievements of Governor Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko of Sokoto State, Nigeria Governor Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko People's Governor and Silent Achiever November/December 2014 1 Spotlight on the achievements of Governor Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko of Sokoto State, Nigeria The material for the Spotlight was prepared by Sokoto Liberal Democrats Media Foundation (SOLID) with input from Africa Link. [email protected] People’s Governor and Silent Achiever He has a mission! A mission to impro- ve the lot of the people of Sokoto State, and he is “committed to this mission to the best of my ability” he told Africa Link recently. To those who see his per- formance as exemplary, and feel he has done more than they ever bargained for he has this to say: “If they feel I have done more than my best, I still belie- ve I’m doing what is expected of me to truly and sincerely serve my people wit- hout any limit, and to improve on their standard of living.” He has faithfully been on the right path. No wonder his people support him wholeheartedly in his mission describing him to Africa Link as the “people’s governor, a silent achiever” and his administration as a “welfare government.” Since Governor Aliyu Magatakarda Wamakko ascended the mantle of power in Sokoto State in May 2007 he has remained committed to the improvement of the lot of the State in all its ramifications. He has identified projects relevant to the fulfilment of those electoral promises he made to the people of the state Former president of Nigeria, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo laying the foundation of the second phase extension of and has been quietly and successfully executing them. -

Nigeria Page 1 of 52 September 1996 Vol. 8, No. 3 (A) NIGERIA "PERMANENT TRANSITION" Current Violations of Human Rights in Nigeria SUMMARY Despite its stated commitment to return Nigeria to elected civilian rule by October 1, 1998, the military government continues to violate the rights of Nigerians to free political activity, including freedom of expression, assembly and association, freedom of movement, and freedom from arbitrary detention and trial. Its security forces in Ogoniland and elsewhere persist in a longstanding pattern of human rights abuses. Head of state General Sani Abacha continues to hold in arbitrary detention the presumed winner of the June 12, 1993 elections, Chief M.K.O. Abiola. Nigerians are deeply skeptical that this military government, after setting aside the fairest elections ever held in their country, will hand over power to a civilian government when it has promised to do so. Nigeria appears to be in a state of permanent transition, still governed by the armed forces a decade after a program to restore democracy was first announced by General Ibrahim Babangida. Recent reforms announced by the government-including the restoration of a right to appeal to a higher court in some cases where it had been denied, the repeal of a decree preventing the courts from granting writs of habeas corpus in favor of detainees without charge, and the creation of a human rights commission-have had no effect in practice, and do not begin to address the need for fundamental reform and renewal. The transition program announced on October 1, 1995, is already slipping behind schedule, while the conditions that have been set for political participation seem designed to exclude the great majority of credible and committed pro-democracy activists.
