Extractions: 2. The Races of Africa: The puzzle of the races in Africa which the casual visitor classes under the comprehensive term negroes is insoluble at this day. But the key to the puzzle may probably be found in the repeated mingling of Asiatic and European blood in varying degrees and at divers distinct epochs with the blood of the African of the projecting jaw and the woolly locks. The history of Africa is practically the history of Egypt and then of her Carthaginian rival until well toward the Christian era. Only then did the Mediterranean coast of North Africa begin to have a tale of its own. The mention of this is significant; it suggests the repeated entrance of Asiatics into Africa through the whole period when Egypt was a world power, and of various sorts of Europeans into North Africa during a thousand years before the Mohammedan era. This mixture of races stands in the place of a historical record concerning the people of Africa. Neither the Africans nor any others can read the record. It is the misfortune of the people of this continent to have no history except as appendages to the outside world; and the whole mass of allusions to them in ancient history has the vague quality of tradition. Even the Roman records lack precision, and remain generalities which throw little light on the history of the actual people of the continent.
Adoration Of The Sacrament Mohammedanism has become an indigenous religion in africa. One of the Gospels has been tentatively translated into igbira. http://www.ccel.org/s/schaff/encyc/encyc01/htm/iii.ii.htm
Extractions: ADORATION OF THE SACRAMENT: A term of the Roman Catholic Church, where, in consequence of the doctrine of transubatantiatiop which affirms the presence of Christ in the Eucharist under the species of bread and wine, divine worship is paid to the Sacrament of the altar, a worship that includes adoration. This adoration is manifested in various ways, especially in genuflexions and, if the Sacrament be solemnly exposed, in prostrations. Certain forms of devotion are intended to promote adoration of the Sacrament, notably the ceremony called Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, the Forty Hours Devotion, and the practise of perpetual adoration which secures the presence of adorers before the altar at all hours of the day and night. A congregation of priests the Society of Priests of the Most Holy Sacrament, is devoted particularly to the worship of Christ on the altar. JOHN T. CREAGH. mentioned in a Babylonian chronicle as having been destroyed by Shalmaneser IV., the god Adrammelech is no doubt a Syrian divinity. The name has been explained as meaning " Adar the prince," " splendor of the king," and " fire-king," while others think that the original reading was " Adadmelech." Since the name is Aramaic, the last is to be preferred.

Extractions: NIGERIA Much has been said and written about Nigeria, her people and culture, economy and politics, that sheds light on the tremendous potential of this African Giant. However, little is known to the outside world about the many exciting tourist attractions available in Nigeria: Historic sites nestled amid rivers and rain forests, breathtaking mountain vistas, remote creek villages, miles of pristine beaches and exotic national wildlife reserves. There are also museums, festivals, music and dance, a rich cultural melange right down to everyday traditional markets. These are just some of the spectacular sights and sensual delights awaiting the traveler to Nigeria. Nigeria has the largest population of any country in Africa (about 120 million), and the greatest diversity of cultures, ways of life, cities and terrain. With a total land area of 923,768 sq. km. (356,668 sq. mi.) Nigeria is the 14th largest country in Africa. Its coastline, on the Gulf of Guinea, stretches 774 km (480 mi.). Nigeria shares its international border of 4,470 km (2513 mi.) with four neighbors: Chad, Cameroon, Benin, and Niger. Until 1989 the capital was Lagos, with a population of about 2,500,000, but the government recently moved the capital to Abuja. CLIMATE AND WEATHER Nigeria lies entirely within the tropics yet there are wide climactic variations. In general, there are two seasons, dry and wet, throughout Nigeria. Near the coast, the seasons are less sharply defined. Temperatures of over 900F are common in the north, but near the coast, where the humidity is higher, temperatures seldom climb above that mark. Inland, around the two great rivers, the wet season lasts from April-Oct. and the dry season from Nov.-March. Temperatures are highest from Feb-April in the south and MarchJune in the north; they're lowest in July and Aug. over most of the country.

There are a number of different traditional religions available. They usually are specific to the different ethnic groups, and the deities are usually the gods and goddesses that the ethnic group believes in, and each ethnic group had a shrine dedicated to the deities that it believed in. The deities ranged from those who created the earth, to those who offer divine protection and/or blessings to it's worshippers, to those who had control over certain aspects of the world (like weather or war), to spirits that can be somewhat controlled by human beings. Most of these religions did not have written documentation of their beliefs and practices, but they did rely on a priest to teach them and to intervene on their behalf, and the priests were usually very highly trained for this, to the extent of being raised for this task sometimes.

INTRODUCTION I would start by putting on record my appreciation to the Institute for Benin Studies for inviting me to deliver the Second Egharevba Memorial Lecture. Two years ago, the Institute organized the inaugural lecture delivered by my friend, brother and colleague, Professor Unionmwan Edebiri on "Benin and the outer world". That scholarly lecture appropriately set an admirably high standard for succeeding ones. It is indeed a great honour and privilege to be invited to deliver a public lecture in memory of one of Africa's greatest scholars, visionaries and sages. Chief Egharevba devoted his life to carrying out research into Benin history, civilization, and publishing his findings and conclusions in books that are most valuable for the study and preservation of Benin culture. There is one aspect of his work, which I consider most important for the purpose of this lecture and to which I will return later. This is his foresight in anticipating problems and wisdom in proffering fitting solutions. Ladies and gentlemen, permit me to quote from his BENIN LAWS AND CUSTOMS as follows: -

Our volunteers are engaged in youth programmes, first aid, ambulance services, disaster response, support for refugees, community based health HIV/AIDS programmes, prison welfare services,.... and a myriad of specialised programmes for vulnerable peoples". The occasion was the yearly press conference of the organisation to usher in the celebration of the Red Cross Day. For every member of the Red Cross and the Red Crescent Society, May 8 of every year is celebrated as World Red Cross Day. The celebration which is in commemoration of the birth of the founder, Henry Dunant dates back to 1922, just after World War l, when there was a general yearning for peace. According to Alhaji Musa, in the Czech Republic and Slovakia - then one State, Chechoslovakia - the National Red Cross proclaimed a three-day truce at Easter to promote peace. Thus, the underlying aspirations of that initiative according to Alhaji Musa was: "to prevent disease so that it will not be obliged to give care; it also wants to encourage our society to prevent wars rather than having to bear the serious consequences involved...". This was an intimation of what was to become World Red Cross Day, he further revealed.

This is a preliminary attempt at a synthesis which I hope to develop in future. Many general surveys of this sort start off as by-products of Ph.D. dissertations: this one is no exception. My fieldwork was financed by a Hayter Studentship from the Department of Education and Science, and by a Smuts Studentship from the University of Cambridge.

Extractions: advertisement The terminology "patrimonialism "is a term used to describe or distinguish a modern state from a non emancipated or failing state. It highlights the place of the state, the question of elites, the institutionalization of power and the principle of accountability in the management of state resources. The modern state is instrumental in fostering and coordinating economic growth for the greater benefit of the citizenry. The development of modern state creates a bond between the citizens and the state. The bond is beyond kingship and ethnic cleavages. The emergence of modern state meant the end of patrimonial state. Max Weber classified modern and patrimonial state as follows- A modern state is a complete break from the notion that the holders of political power have legitimate claim on the assets or resources which they administer. The public assets are separated from private assets. There are firm and institutionalized means of forcing the leadership to account for state wealth and assets. It is highly improbable that the declaration of a state of emergency will resolve the current fault line conflict in Plateau state. Repetitive conflicts have been fought in various part of Nigeria and just to mention a few of these conflicts that took place in the 1980's and 90's

Languages can be grouped together into families on the basis of similarities of vocabulary and grammatical structure. It has been suggested that languages in the same family have common origins or antecedents. Languages families are divided into branches or sub-groups. For example, some of the branches of the Indo-European language family include the Indo-Iranian languages, the Romance languages, the Germanic languages (which include English) and the Celtic languages. Similarly, the Semitic languages form a sub-group of the Afro-Asiatic language family, and the Bantu languages form a sub-group of the Niger-Congo language family. Languages of Africa

Extractions: University of Guelph Abstract Until very recently, the word "immigrant" had evoked images of people who had come to stay, having been transplanted from their original home in order to make for themselves a new home to which they would pay allegiance. This thesis questions the assumptions that minorities and migrants demonstrate an exclusive loyalty to one nation-state. This is examined by exploring the mode of social connections and frequency by which one of the most salient African ethnic communities in Toronto, the Yoruba (the pedigrees of Oduduwa from the Federal Republic of Nigeria), maintain ties on various levels with their "home community" in this period of globalization. Yoruba migration is linked to their enmeshment in global capitalism, beginning with colonialism which extracted natural resources for the development of the European industrialism, and later neocolonialism which caused the pervasive penetration of global capital in the form of loans, and the collusion of internal social forces with the Western transnational corporations, leading to the pauperization of the mass of the Nigerian population. It is argued that the crass material exploitation of Nigeria, both in the colonial and postcolonial periods is not enough to explain the Yoruba migration and their transnational practices but should be viewed in conjunction with the "dependency complex" caused by the colonial and neocolonial domination of their "psyche".

Extractions: ABSTRACT: Produce trade in Africa in general and Nigeria in particular, developed significantly in the nineteenth century following the abolition of the trade in slave and the industrialization of Europe. Resulting from the last two developments, the Calabar province attracted more than ever before, the attention of the industrialized nations of Europe notably Britain, France and Germany, in their quest for palm oil and kernel - two vital raw materials used in the manufacturing of soaps lubricants, candle and margarine. This produce trade impacted seriously on the economy of the area; it brought about a high level of transformation economically- but what was the nature of this transformation bearing in mind that transformation could be cataclysmic and could be progressive. This is the issue to be addressed in this paper.

Television The Niger River is Nigeria's most remarkable physical feature, as well as the source of its name. But Africa's most populous nation did not even have a name before the late nineteenth century, nor for that matter a national identity. Rather, British colonization brought together three vast and culturally distinctive regions - north, southeast, and southwest - and at least 250 different language groups, more than any other African country. Generously endowed as well with natural resources such as crude oil, gas, coal, iron, limestone, columbite, and tin, Nigeria in its early postcolonial years was viewed as a potential middle-level economic power. Since independence in 1960, however, corrupt military rule has conspired with religious as well as ethnic fractiousness to all but dissipate the nation's early promise. Following independence, Nigeria was rocked by political crises: disputed elections led to widespread violence, then to a coup and countercoup, then to ethnic tensions that exploded into the 30-month Biafran War (1967-1970). In the nearly three decades since the Biafran War, promised returns to democratic civilian rule have been repeatedly thwarted by military-sponsored coups, crackdowns on opposition groups, and electoral maneuverings. Many of Nigeria's most esteemed intellectuals have left the country, while others have faced severe state prosecution. By the late 1990s, many Nigerians viewed head of state General Sani Abacha's ostensible democratic transition with great skepticism. In mid-1998, Abacha's sudden death, followed a month later by the equally unexpected death of one of his greatest rivals, the imprisoned businessman Moshood Abiola, left the country's political future even more uncertain.
