    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.

Based on this data, supplemented with additional museum specimens (23 selected specimens belonging to 10 species) and reliable literature reports, we present an annotated checklist of the 51 snake species known from Niger. Psammophis sudanensis is added to the snake fauna of Niger. Known localities for all species are presented and, where necessary, taxonomic and biogeographic issues discussed. Key words.

    Chapter 3: Current Situation of the Water Reservoir and Categorization

    Chapter 3: Current situation of the water reservoir and categorization 3.1 Situation of the construction 3.1.1 First phase According to the document titled "Repertories of the main dams and their characteristics in Niger: September 2004" published by the Direction of Management and Rural Agricultural Equipment of the Ministry of Agricultural Development, during the first phase (2001-2002) of the Special Program of the President of the Republic, the construction of 54 water reservoirs was planned in the zone of this study. For one of these reservoirs, that of Angoual Denia, works do not yet start, although an advance on this work was given to the contractor. On the other hand, the reservoir of Aoka whose construction was planned 1 km upstream the water reservoir of Aboka changed destination during execution, and is used as dam to prevent from sand accumulation in the reservoir of Aboka, this makes it not possible to fulfill the functions of a water reservoir. In addition, a new additional reservoir, that of Edouk, was built. The reservoir of Guidan Bado remains always unfinished and the contract with the profit service provider for its construction was terminated to be given to another more able to complete it. Thus, today (August 2009), among 55 water reservoirs object of the first phase there existed in the area of this study 52 built reservoirs, and 1 reservoir almost completed although partially unfinished, making a total of 53 reservoirs.
