Extractions: Keys to Understanding Contemporary Society Modern Nigeria has inherited a rich and often complex history. With the move to democracy, Nigerians look to retain their cultural roots along with modernity, joining together to bring peace and prosperity. The countrys three main ethnic groups are the Yoruba, the Igbo, and the Hausa, between them making Nigeria a meeting point of colorful, sometimes conflicting ethnic interests and identities. The countrys historical tapestry includes between 250 and 400 ethnic groups, their differences best defined by language. But even this seemingly definite trait provides only loose distinctions. Location and history are often as important in mapping Nigerias ethnic landscape. The nations official language is English. Government officials and many businessmen with at least secondary education typically speak it, as it is essential in cross-cultural communication. Pidgin a mix of English and colloquial terms has been widely spoken in many areas for more than a century. Nigerians are generally multilingual with at least three languages at their disposal, owing to a long history of cross-cultural and often transnational trade across a spectrum of ethnic groups.

Extractions: By Mwatabu S. Okantah I understand, now, why Langston Hughes titled one of his autobiographies, " I Wonder As I Wander." The wondering and the wandering began in my life at about the same time I discovered my affinity for the work of Hughes, and several other black writers: Zora Neale Hurston, Aime Cesaire, Gwendolyn Brooks, Leon Damas, Lance Jeffers and Toni Morrison. I did not realize then that this wondering and wandering that began in some distant place in my mind would lead me to my own cultural heritage in West Africa. I did not realize then that there was relief to be found waiting inside the culture, that there was peace to still the tension; self-knowledge to embrace the alienation.

Extractions: Country Info Nigeria Introduction Nigeria General Data Nigeria Maps Nigeria Culture ... Nigeria Time and Date Nigeria Culture Back to Top Nigeria's rich and varied cultural heritage derives from the mixture of its different ethnic groups with Arabic and western European cultural influences. Secret societies, such as Ekpo and Ekpe among the peoples of the southeast, were formerly used as instruments of government, while other institutions were associated with matrimony. According to the Fulani custom of sharo (test of young manhood), rival suitors underwent the ordeal of caning as a means of eliminating those who were less persistent, while in Ibibio territory girls approaching marriageable age were confined for several years in bride-fattening rooms before they were given to their husbands. These and other customs were discouraged by colonial administrators and missionaries. Some of the more adaptable cultural institutions have been revived since independence; these include Ekpo and Ekong societies for young boys in parts of the southeast and the Ogboni society found in the Yoruba and Edo areas of southern Nigeria.

Extractions: Secretary-General, AMARC The more global modern life becomes, the more urgent the call to support cultural diversity, to give a voice to local communities. Indeed, many initiatives already exist across the globe. But what language do these voices speak? Within what context do they transmit the knowledge and nuances of their geographical origin? Because local languages and expressions are the raw material that nourishes community radio stations, it is important to explore the linguistic riches that constitute the foundation of cultural identity. In May 1997, the South-Africa daily printed a picture titled "The last voice of an ancient tongue." They were referring to Ms. Elsie Vaalbooi, age 96. When she passes on, she will take away with her the secrets of the Khomani one of the oldest languages in the world spoken for 25,000 years in the Kalahari region until it disappeared around 1970.

Nigeria Nexus power returned to the colonies' indigenous peoples, quality of as the undisputed regionalpower of West africa. was dominated by the Islamic Hausafulani people http://www.internews.org/nigeria/history_1rep.htm
Extractions: The independent Republic of Nigeria was founded at a time when hopes were high in the Third World. The end of the colonial era came to Africa (and especially West Africa) later than it did to other regions, but still the problems that lay ahead for newly independent nations were often lost in the haze of optimism. With the yoke of colonialism removed and economic and political power returned to the colonies' indigenous peoples, quality of life was expected to quickly and dramatically improve. Nigeria, with its tremendous population and abundant resources, especially had reason to look forward to success as the undisputed regional power of West Africa. One of the new nation's first serious stumbling blocks was the 1962 census. Independent Nigeria needed a complete and accurate count of its people, so that electoral seats and federal monies could be apportioned fairly. Unfortunately, the results of the census turned out to be problematic for some. Dr. Nnamde Azikiwe, the leader of the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons (NCNC), a political party derived almost all its support from the Ibo of the Southeast region, charged that the census figures had been skewed by Northerners in an attempt to grab a greater share of the federal budget. His party tried to persuade the courts to annul the census results, but it failed.
The Cultural Implications Of HIV In Sub-Saharan Africa Like the fulani of africas Western Sahel, men apparently disastrous when combinedwith indigenous SubSaharan in order for sub-Saharan peoples to survive http://www.focusanthro.org/hiv_in_africa.htm
Extractions: The Cultural Implications of HIV In Sub-Saharan Africa By: Staci L. Larsen Edmonds Community College - October 13, 2001 After enduring hundreds of years of oppression, conflict and crisis, sub-Saharan Africans now face the most challenging threat to their survival - the HIV pandemic. In Africa, 25.3 million people are currently infected with HIV with sub-Saharan women accounting for at least 55-percent of these infections. Specific cultural ideals, identities, and gender roles are crucial factors in the development of particular behaviors that support the perpetuation of HIV. Furthermore, the lasting effects of European colonialism have significantly influenced individual and socio-cultural identity. While corporations, politicians and church leaders continue to argue over topical solutions, the epidemic rages on through the continuation of traditional cultural behaviors. Introduction Development and Distribution of HIV in Sub-Saharan Africa The Impact of Colonialism in Contemporary Africa Symbolism of Identity and Social Trauma ... References It is a paradox that the region thought of as the "cradle of civilization", the place of human origins, is presently experiencing the largest recorded death toll known to humankind.

Extractions: Return to syllabus African Civilizations Africa south of the Sahara Africans south of the Sahara lived largely in nomadic, hunter-gatherer groups up until 200 BC. As a result, African populations were very sparse. There are several speculations as to why sub-Saharan Africans remained in hunting-gathering groups, but they are all guess-work. Perhaps the most reasonable explanations involve the abundance of resources and the protection that their isolation gave them from invasion and migration pressures. Still, early sub-Saharan Africans developed metallurgy at a very early stage, possibly even before other peoples. Around 1400 BC, East Africans began producing steel in carbon furnaces (steel was invented in the west in the eighteenth century). The Iron Age itself came very early to Africa, probably around the sixth century BC, in Ethiopia, the Great Lakes region, Tanzania, and Nigeria. Iron technology, however, only spread slowly across Africa; it wasn't until the first century AD that the smelting of iron began to rapidly diffuse throughout the continent. The instrument of that spread was the Bantu migrations Urban settlement began at a very early date in Africa. The earliest urban settlements were stone-walled towns in southern Mauritania that date back to sometime in the second millennium BC. An explosion of urban settlement in the Sahel region immediately south of the Sahara began between 600 and 200 BC. The Sahel is a hot, dry savanna that can support human agriculture and settlement. The first urban settlements were Sahelian: Jenne, Gao, and Kumbi (later Kumbi Saleh, the capital of the kingdom of Ghana). All of these urban centers grew up in oasis and river regions which could support such large populations.

Extractions: Many of the African peoples are descendants of the Stone Age peoples who lived here since medieval times. However, some peoples who live in Africa today are non-indigenous. Therefore, the history of the African peoples is a history of migrations, settlement and cultural intermingling. Given these processes a number of factors must be put into consideration to classify the people of Africa. As a result of ancestry from the Stone Age people, migration and settlement of various groups, there are at least five major ethnic groups of people in Africa. (i) Caucasians They are two stocks - the Hamitic and the Semitic. Hamites are said to have come from western Asia to form the original population of North Africa. It is believed the Berbers, the Tuaregs, the Fulani and other tribes of Ethiopia and Somalia are of Hamitic origin. Semites especially Arabs from Asia, came to Africa in the 17th century, invaded Egypt and overran the rest of North Africa. Although most Arab speaking peoples have settled in Northern Africa, others have settled elsewhere in smaller groups. In the previous unit, you saw the major reason for the coming of the Arabs to East Africa between 1000-1500 A.D.

Extractions: This paper is therefore designed as a response and contribution towards the on going debates and search for new ways to conflict management in Africa. The discussion focused on the examination of the contexts and dynamics of ethnic conflicts in Africa. Precisely, some of the forms, causes, and the underlying consequences of such with reference to some recent scenario in the continent was discussed. One of the major issues pointed out is how imperialism and colonialism impacted on ethnicity and ethnic conflicts which are traceable to the colonial masters systems of administration, arbitrary delimitation and partitioning the continent. This paper also borders on how persistent these conflicts have been and how the various western models and paradigms of conflict management have failed on the altar of peace deliberations due to their inadequacy to fit in properly into the Africa context. In conclusion, African traditional alternatives to conflict resolution were suggested for adoption in the next millennium.
