1. The document discusses the 1914 amalgamation of the Northern and Southern Protectorates of Nigeria by the British into a single political entity. This amalgamation was done primarily for economic exploitation of Nigeria's natural resources rather than to create a true unified territory.
2. There is debate around whether Nigeria can truly be considered an amalgamated country, as the different regions maintained distinct political and social systems under British rule. Regional divisions and lack of a shared national identity have posed significant challenges to nation-building in Nigeria.
3. While the amalgamation achieved administrative convenience for the British, it may not have been the most suitable arrangement for governing the diverse peoples and regions within Nigeria. Celebrating 100 years of amalgamation highlighted ongoing

An historical appraisal of nigerian democratic experienceAlexander Decker
This document provides an historical appraisal of Nigerian democratic experience from pre-colonial times to independence in 1960. It discusses the indigenous democratic tenets that existed in the different political systems across Nigeria prior to colonial rule. It then examines the introduction of electoral politics by the British colonial administration and the emergence of political parties. Finally, it analyzes the political trends and failures in Nigeria since independence, including regional divisions, military coups, and the civil war.
This document provides an abstract for a study that investigated the causes of conflicts between Hausa and Yoruba ethnic groups in Mile 12 Market in Lagos, Nigeria between 1999-2014, as well as the peacebuilding initiatives implemented following hostilities. The study found the major causes of conflicts included disputes over resources, incompatible value systems, poor communication, and impatience. Post-conflict initiatives to build peace included reorganizing the market, education and training programs, interfaith cooperation, security provisions, consociational leadership, and elections. However, ongoing challenges to peacebuilding were also identified, including sanitation issues, housing problems, commercialization of conflict resolution, and lack of social amenities.
The Rise of Nationalism and Religious Politics in Nigeriapaperpublications3
Abstract: Man is basically political and religious. He is variously described as homo politicus and homo religious. In the course of the Millennia, he has also proved these affirmations to be true to his nature. However, the problem is often with the manner of man’s application of these attributes. He is either too zealous with his religious obligations or he is brutal in the use of his political power. In the combination of these extremes, man renders both politics and religion a problem and often obstacle to human progress and development. In Africa and in Nigeria, particularly, the struggle to attain independence and autonomy from colonialism led to nationalist movements and eventual regionalization of such motif. In the long run, it has become difficult to differentiate between politics and religion in Nigeria leading to the question of how successful the struggles of the fathers of independence like Herbert Macaulay, Nnamdi Azikiwe, Ahmadu Bello, and Obafemi Awolowo have been in the course of Nigeria’s history. The paper uses a historical, expository, and analytical method to view the politico-religious evolution of Nigeria and arrives at the conclusion that after fifty-five years of Independence from Colonialism much has not happened to de-tribalize the myopic attachment to religious sentiments in order to cling to selfish manipulation of power and economic dissipation of the country. There is therefore need for further and consistent research and enlightenment of the masses to achieve better development and progress.
This document provides an introduction and summary of a book titled "Human Rights, Related Conflicts & State Security in Nigeria 1999-2006" by Joseph Adeyemi Sangosanya. The summary includes:
1) The book examines the issues of human rights, conflicts, and threats to state security in Nigeria between 1999-2006. It analyzes these issues through the lens of political economy and provides accounts from Nigeria's six geopolitical zones.
2) Chapter 1 introduces the topics and provides context on Nigeria's federal system and diversity. Chapter 2 discusses conceptual frameworks for analyzing conflicts, human rights, and state security and their interrelationships.
3) Subsequent chapters provide zonal accounts of these issues
This document analyzes the issue of state creation in Nigeria and whether it has effectively resolved ethnic conflicts. It discusses how agitation for new states has occurred since the colonial period due to minority ethnic groups feeling marginalized. While many new states have been created since independence, the document aims to evaluate whether this has actually reduced conflicts or increased fractionalization of ethnic groups. The authors conducted a secondary source literature review and analysis to examine the mythology and reality of state creation in conflict resolution in Nigeria. They found that state creation has not resolved ethnic conflicts and has instead led to further division of ethnic groups. The government is suggested to promote true democracy and unity among Nigeria's diverse ethnicities.
A friendship between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson that began strongly in the Continental Congress deteriorated due to their differing political views. As founding fathers, they worked together on the Declaration of Independence but differed on their stances regarding federal power, with Adams favoring a strong federal government and Jefferson preferring limited federal power. Though they remained personally fond of each other, their political disagreements strained their friendship over time.
A philosophical assessment of the challenges of sustainability of nigeria’s f...Alexander Decker
This document discusses the challenges to sustaining Nigeria's foreign policy image between 1960-2013. It argues that prolonged military rule, identifying all of Africa's interests as Nigeria's own, and lacking an effective public relations department have hindered maintaining Nigeria's 1960 image as a "giant of Africa." The Nigerian civil war introduced instability, and military rule further damaged the country's reputation. While civilian rule sought to address this, Nigeria is still associated with problems rather than its early leadership potential. The document aims to advocate renewing Nigeria's prominent role in international affairs through improving its foreign policy and image promotion.

The document discusses the historical origins of religious tensions between Muslims and Christians in Nigeria. It notes that Nigeria emerged from British colonial rule in 1914, combining Northern and Southern territories with different dominant ethnic groups and religions. While the North was predominantly Muslim, the South was mostly Christian. This religious divide, combined with political and economic factors under colonialism and after independence, have contributed to ongoing ethno-religious conflicts in Nigeria between Muslims and Christians over issues like the introduction of Sharia law. Major events and groups like the Boko Haram insurgency have exacerbated tensions and violence.
Interfaith Dialogue: Preventing Extremism and Interreligious Conflict in Nort...inventionjournals
This document discusses the root causes of extremism and interreligious conflict in Northern Nigeria. It argues that while religious differences play a role, the main underlying causes are political and socioeconomic. Specifically, it points to the end of Nigeria's inclusive post-independence system in 1966 and the failures of subsequent governments to promote national unity. This created ethnic and religious divisions that were exacerbated by economic decline in the 1980s. Weak governance has allowed these fault lines to be exploited, resulting in over 20 major conflicts between 1980-2015. The spread of extremist ideologies both locally and globally have also contributed to the rising violence. The document argues that interfaith dialogue is needed to curb extremism and build understanding between religious groups
Africa as the centerpiece of nigeria’s foreign policy revisitedAlexander Decker
This document summarizes and analyzes Nigeria's foreign policy approach of making "Africa the centerpiece" from independence in 1960 through the 1980s. It discusses the foreign policy of successive Nigerian leaders and their emphasis on supporting African countries, organizations, and liberation movements. While Nigeria invested significant resources in African causes, the document argues this approach did not achieve genuine economic or political standing for Nigeria. It concludes Nigeria should reevaluate its singular focus on Africa and redirect its foreign policy for improved economic prosperity and reputation.

Cuba tried to help Angola become independent again in 1975 by sending lists of needs like weapons, transportation, and financial assistance. Cuba also offered to help with training trade union leaders and setting up schools. My parents knew who I was but I could only vaguely remember them from my childhood in Angola. I had not seen them since leaving for another country at age 6 but was now visiting them for two weeks in Angola to reconnect. Colonialism had negative effects on Africa by failing to teach practical skills and leaving countries dependent on others for survival. This is shown through Nigeria's struggle with threats like Boko Haram and restrictions on freedoms even after independence from Britain.

Revisiting ethno nationalism in the niger delta of nigeriaAlexander Decker
This document summarizes and analyzes the phenomenon of ethno-nationalism in Nigeria's Niger Delta region. It discusses how various ethno-nationalist groups emerged in the late 1990s and 2000s advocating for the rights and interests of marginalized ethnic groups in the Niger Delta amidst environmental degradation, poverty, and political neglect by the Nigerian state. While these groups helped elevate international awareness of the Niger Delta's plight, the document argues that the political elite and some former militant leaders have largely benefited from increased revenues and development funds, rather than the wider population. It posits that if the root causes of ethno-nationalism are not addressed, new counter-hegemonic forces may soon emerge in the
Revisiting ethno nationalism in the niger delta of nigeriaAlexander Decker
This document examines the achievements and prospects of ethno-nationalism in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. It argues that while ethno-nationalist militancy in the region helped elevate international awareness of issues in the Niger Delta and compelled some concessions from the Nigerian government, the major beneficiaries have actually been political elites and leaders of ethno-nationalist groups rather than the local populations. Using Gramsci's theory of hegemony, the document posits that if the underlying causes of ethno-nationalism are not addressed, counter-hegemonic forces may soon emerge again in the region.
Cultural-pluralism: implications for national integration and socio-economic ...Premier Publishers
The process by which nation states are created makes them to be a conglomerate of various ethnic groups or sub-nationalities. These groups, as it were, surrender some of their sovereignty to the new state with the central objective of providing security and welfare for the people. This derives perhaps from the notion that things are better achieved within a cooperative environment. The state therefore strives to create a peaceful and conducive environment to enable it attain its objectives of sustainable development using appropriate structures. The state also ensures that its various segments live in harmony in their day-to-day interactions by establishing a consensus on norms, values and ethics of engagement. This leads to forging a ‘homogeneous’ culture which further engenders peaceful co-existence and socio-economic development of the country/state. However one cannot say this about Nigeria where ethnic rivalry has continued to undermine her developmental efforts. This paper examines the plural nature of Nigeria and concludes that rather than be an asset, the country’s cultural pluralism is a draw-back to its development. Means of harmonious co-existence geared towards national socio-economic development are suggested.
Political Unrests and Agitational Politics of Decolonization in Eastern Nigeriainventionjournals
The title of this paper is Political Unrests, and Agitational Politics Unrests of decolonization in Eastern Nigeria. The study is aimed at asserting the view of the liberal nationalist school of thought which is conjectured that sometimes internal dissent and colonial unrest may result in a revolution that hastens the independence of a colony. The position of the liberal nationalist tradition which has been adopted in this paper puts the indigenous people at the centre of decolonization from a reluctant metropolitan power as opposed to the dependentista school of thought.
CIVIC EDUCATION AND IT’S IMPERATIVE TOWARDS NATION BUILDING: THE NIGERIAN EXA...John1Lorcan
Most countries of the world today originated as a result of the activities of colonialists and imperialists
who merged previously independent nations together for the sole reason of domination and exploitation.
Following the end of colonial era and the resulting freedom of previously colonized people, many countries
have been struggling to live together as the nation which their erstwhile colonial masters made them. This
has often resulted to conflicts and crises, the worst of it being the Rwandan genocide of 1994. Due to these
incidences, social researchers have intensified efforts in designing programs that will facilitate the very act
of nation-building/or prevent a devastating effect that may result from a failure thereof. This paper,
therefore, attempts to suggest Civic Education as one of the models that can help facilitate nation-building
project especially in countries affected by the effects of colonization. The work employed the normative
method of philosophy, while also not leaving behind the evaluative and analytical side of the method.
