Ethics in Nigerian culture
Get PDFThis book examined various aspects of life among some Nigerian tribes and analyzed their ethical content. There is no claim here to complete coverage of the subject, either in breadth or in-depth, but perhaps enough has been said to give a general picture of Nigerian ethics. Among the facts that stand out is the part played by religion in enforcing ethical precepts. It is doubtful whether religion, imported or native, can continue to play this role, for already it is apparent that fear of the gods is diminishing steadily. A substitute for religion which could have the same emotional appeal will be hard to find. Even humanism is inadequate. Yet something has to be done to support the legal system, for, as is well-known, there would be far more crime if fear of punishment were the only deterrent. Conscience and religion probably constrain criminal behavior at least as much as the fear of punishment.Religion; Secret Societies; Murder, theft, and adultery; Supernatural crimes; Warfare; Slavery; Concepts of goodness; Social discrimination; Sexual discrimination ;Awuf ; Leadership

The Lost treasure of ancient Benin.
Get PDFBenin art is essentially a court art, not an art of the people because the Oba had the monopoly of the works. He maintained specialist guilds of bronze-smiths, wood and ivory carvers and bead workers. The bronze-smiths, in particular were forbidden under pain of death, to work for anyone outside the court where everything was concentrated. The origin of Benin tradition which was during the reign of Oba Oguala in the fourth reign of Oba of Benin of the present dynasty dating to AD.1400 was that the Oba requested a bronze-smith to be sent from lle-lfe, his ancestral home to teach the craft in Benin. Furthermore, another tradition maintained that the heads of the deceased Oba of Benin were normally returned to lle-lfe for burial at the site of Orun Oba Ado’and in return, the bronze memorial heads of the deceased Oba were sent to Benin to be kept there and this has given rise to one speculation that Benin court art was derived from lle-lfe.Introduction, Punitive expenditure, Federal Government efforts at restitution, Recent acquisitio
causes, events (1953 - 1967).
Get PDFThe decision to embark on this work was taken soon after the first fall of the avalanche-the military take-over of power on January 15, 1966. Later, the decision was suspended as a sequel to the rapidity with which similar incidents cropped up. They followed one another in quick successions, and as if directed by a divine order, they happened almost at regular intervals. Here was the May 29 disturbances? in the North; here were the July 29 army revolts in Kaduna, Zaria, Ibadan, Abeokuta and Ikeja; here was the August 29, mass killing in parts of the north; and here also were the incidents of September 29, 30, and October 1 and 2. The motives behind this chain of events were unfortunately, closely related.Background to crisis; Soldiers grab government; Easterner on the crisis; Northerner on the crisis; Seven charges against Ibos and the replies; Solutions to crisis; Calling Nigerian youth; Ibos, Jews of Nigeria?
Privy Council judgments: Opinions of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in Appeals from West Africa 1841 to 1973.
Get PDFThe 254 judgments contained in this volume are the opinions of the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in all appeals from Nigeria (95), Ghana (124), Sierra Leone (29) and The Gambia (6) to the Privy Council from 1841 to 1973. Of these 215 have been traced to the regular law reports. Before now the others (39) have probably not been reported. The bulk of the material in this Report was collected in 1968 and 1969 and the editing was completed early in 1976. The Table of Cases records in detail the various reports in which the judgments can be found. For the previously unreported opinions, the relevant Privy Council particulars are given. There has also been included a comprehensive Index of Subject-Matter. This Report serves a twofold purpose: first, it is in some way a history of the association of the four Anglophone West African Commonwealth countries with the United Kingdom in their various stages of growth from being merely colonial possessions to their attaining full self-governing status, during which period the judicial framework and outlook of the Privy Council remained virtually consistent. Secondly, by including all the pronouncements of the Privy Council in all the appeals which were heard..Reports included in the work and their abbreviations; Alphabetical table of cases; Table of cases; Index of subject Matter; Judgments
the emergence and overthrow of the Sarauta system and the establishment of the emirate.
Get PDFThis study is concerned with the nature of the historical process which
over a period of five hundred years, (c. 1400—1883), produced the
successive political systems to which the inhabitants of an area of the
West African Sudan which has come to be known as ‘Katsina’ belonged.
This area is now a part of the Savannah and Sahel regions of Nigeria
and the Republic of Niger.
The study was conducted primarily to discover whether this process was
essentially composed of the movements and conflicts of racial, tribal
and ethnic'units and groups and their armies. For this is the conventional
and still widely-held view of the historical development of the people
of the area, and indeed of the whole of the African continent. It is doubts
about this view and concern about its contemporary political significance
which led to this study.
These doubts arose in the first place over the theoretical issue of what
meaningful categories and terms are to be used in the definitions of the
substantive units of this historical process. Or, more concretely, the issue
of the actual meaning at particular historical moments and in particular
historical contexts, of categories and terms like ‘Hausa’, ‘Fulani’, ‘Barebare’, ‘Nupe’, ‘Katsinawa’, ‘Sakkwatawa’, ‘al-Barnawi’, ‘al-Sudani’ and
many others. And secondly, because of the way the conventional view is
contradicted in many respects by the primary, especially internal, sources
of the history of the area.■ The emergence of the Sarauta system: c. 1400—1684; ■ The pattern of settlement in the eighteenth century;
