  • The Place of Bonny in Niger Delta History (Pp. 36-45)
    An International Multidisciplinary Journal, Ethiopia Vol. 5 (5), Serial No. 22, October, 2011 ISSN 1994-9057 (Print) ISSN 2070--0083 (Online) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4314/afrrev.v5i5.4 The Place of Bonny in Niger Delta History (Pp. 36-45) Orji, Kingdom E. - Department of History & Diplomatic Studies, Rivers State University of Education, Rumuolumeni, Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Tel: +2348056669109 E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Bonny occupies a strategic position in the Niger Delta Studies. Issues to be examined in this article include the circumstances surrounding the founding of this unique settlement on the Rio Real of Eastern Delta and its implications for the reconstruction of the history of other Niger Delta communities. An attempt will be made to unravel the strains encountered by the indigenous economy of our study area in the face of the assault of Old and New imperialism of the West from the fifteenth centuries to the recent past. Bonny’s strategic and pivotal role in the spread of Christianity in the study area is also highlighted. Early history The indigenous settlers of Bonny are known as the Ibani with a distinct language that goes by the same name. In fact the Ibani language has been classified under languages spoken in Eastern Ijo which themselves belong to the Ijoid group (Efere and Willamson 1989, pp. 43-44, Derefaka 2003, p. 23). Dike (1956, p.24) has given the impression that the Bonny are of Igbo origin. He suggest that the first migrants to this area, under their veritable leader Alagberiye himself, a distinguished hunter, had made incursions into this area between 1450–1800.

  • NIGER State Report 1
    INITIAL AND PERIODIC REPORT OF THE REPUBLIC OF NIGER TO THE AFRICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN AND PEOPLES’ RIGHTS (A.C.H.P.R) ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE AFRICAN CHARTER ON HUMAN AND PEOPLES’ RIGHTS 1988-2002 INTRODUCTION On 15th July, 1986 the Republic of Niger ratified the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights, adopted in Nairobi (KENYA) in June 1981. In compliance with article 62 of the Charter, Niger should have presented its initial report on measures taken with a view to giving effect to the rights and freedoms set out in the Charter. Also, the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th periodic reports should have been presented respectively in 1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998 and 2000. The 7th report is scheduled to be presented this year. However difficulties of all sorts; military coup d’Etats, political instability and armed rebellions, as well as the socio-economic constraints that the country had to bear throughout the decade of the 1990s have not allowed the authorities of Niger to fulfil this obligation. By reason of the foregoing, the government of Niger fervently wishes that the present report be considered as a basic report, replacing all the other seven that Niger should have presented at the dates indicated above. The structure of the report, which is in line with the general guidelines drafted by the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights, is as follows: Chapter I: Profile of the Republic of Niger. Chapter II: Legal system, system of government and relations between institutions. Chapter III: Main texts of domestic law relating to the promotion and protection of Human and Peoples’ Rights.

  • The Political Economy of Migration in Sub-Saharan Africa
    Identity, Culture and Politics, Volume 1, Number 1, January 2000 THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF MIGRATION IN SUB-SAHARAN AFRICA John K. Akokpari here are fundamental factors driving migration dynamics in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) that are either not perceptible to, or adequately captured by, T academics and politicians. Although migration remains largely undocumented in SSA, making accurate data on the phenomenon extremely scant, it is generally known to be on the increase. The increasing trend of migratory patterns seem poised to remain irreversible, even uncontrollable, given the interplay of economic, social and environmental conditions in the region. These internal factors are reinforced by the menacing international economic arrangement, which simultaneously marginalizes and incorporates the region, and in the process either exacerbate or create further salutary migratory conditions and population displacements. This paper re-examines the causes of migration in SSA. It interrogates some of the conventional assumptions on migration in SSA. In particular, it argues that the orthodox attribution of SSA's migratory patterns to mainly politico-economic factors is inadequate and superficial. It argues that migration, whether voluntary or forced, intra- or interstate is both an effect and cause of SSA's political and economic conditions. It is argued further that political and economic factors frequently cited for migration and population displacements are themselves the product of the state's inaction in addressing critical economic, political, population and environmental issues. The paper is divided into four sections. The first section attempts to explain the various forms of migration in SSA. The second reconstructs the conventional perceptions on the causes of migration and explains the extent of their 57 Identity, Culture and Politics inadequacies.
