Question 2 Report
The Ogiso dynasty in Benin failed due to ____
Answer Details
The Ogiso dynasty in Benin failed due to a combination of factors, including economic disorder, weakness and dependence on rulers, and resentment against the system. During the Ogiso dynasty, which lasted from approximately 900 BC to 1170 AD, the rulers of Benin were regarded as divine and enjoyed significant power and wealth. However, over time, the economic system became increasingly disordered, and there were growing tensions between the rulers and the people. In addition, the rulers became increasingly weak and dependent on their subordinates, who often acted as de facto rulers. This weakened the overall authority of the Ogiso dynasty and made it more vulnerable to internal and external threats. Finally, there was growing resentment against the system, as many people felt that the rulers were abusing their power and failing to provide adequate protection and support for the people. This led to growing unrest and eventually contributed to the collapse of the Ogiso dynasty. Therefore, it was not just one factor but a combination of economic, political, and social factors that contributed to the failure of the Ogiso dynasty in Benin.
Question 4 Report
The system the colonialists introduced in Nigeria to administer their function was regarded as?
Answer Details
The colonial system introduced by the colonialists in Nigeria was known as "Indirect Rule". Indirect rule was a system where the colonial government relied on local leaders, such as traditional chiefs, to govern and administer the local population on their behalf. The colonial authorities would provide these local leaders with guidelines and directives, and they would then implement these policies in their own communities. This allowed the colonial government to exert control over the colony with a relatively small number of colonial administrators. The aim of indirect rule was to maintain control over the colony while minimizing the costs of administration and minimizing resistance to colonial rule. This system was seen as a more efficient and cost-effective way to govern the colony than direct rule, where colonial administrators would directly govern the population.
Question 5 Report
The method that was used by the Europeans to control the admininstration of the Southern Nigeria was
Answer Details
The method that was used by the Europeans to control the administration of Southern Nigeria was "Divide and Rule". This approach involved dividing the people of Southern Nigeria along ethnic and regional lines in order to weaken their unity and make it easier to control them. By exploiting existing rivalries and tensions among different groups, the Europeans were able to maintain their dominance and prevent the emergence of a united front against their colonial rule. This approach was particularly effective in Southern Nigeria, which was home to a large number of diverse ethnic groups with their own distinct cultures and traditions. By playing one group against the other, the Europeans were able to maintain control over the entire region without facing significant resistance. Overall, the "Divide and Rule" method was a key strategy used by European powers during the colonial era to maintain their control over the regions they had conquered. While it was effective in achieving their goals of dominance, it often had long-lasting negative effects on the societies and cultures of the regions affected by this approach.

Question 11 Report
How many people died in the Mfecane war?
Answer Details
The Mfecane, also known as the Difaqane, was a period of widespread chaos, violence, and displacement in Southern Africa in the early 19th century. It was caused by a combination of factors, including the rise of the Zulu kingdom under Shaka, droughts, and the arrival of European settlers. Estimating the number of deaths during the Mfecane is difficult because of the lack of reliable records and the fact that many people were displaced and may have died of starvation or disease. However, historians and researchers generally agree that the number of deaths was significant. Based on the available historical records and estimates, it is generally believed that the number of deaths during the Mfecane was somewhere between 1 to 2 million people. However, it is important to note that this is a rough estimate, and the actual number may be higher or lower. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is: - Over 1 to 2 million people died in the Mfecane war.

All of these except one are the motives of the Britain for colonizing Africa during the imperialism?
Answer Details
The motives of Britain for colonizing Africa during imperialism were political and military interest, economic interest, and humanitarian and religious goals. 1. Political and military interest: Britain wanted to expand its territory and gain strategic advantages over its rivals. They established colonies to serve as military bases, which allowed them to control important shipping routes and ports. Additionally, colonizing Africa gave Britain access to resources and raw materials that were essential for its industrial growth. 2. Economic interest: Britain was interested in the vast resources of Africa such as gold, diamonds, and other valuable minerals. They exploited the natural resources of Africa, exporting them to Britain and other countries. British colonies also provided a market for British manufactured goods, which fueled Britain's economic growth. 3. Humanitarian and religious goal: There were British citizens who believed that it was their moral and religious duty to bring civilization and Christianity to the people of Africa. Some British colonizers believed that they were helping to end slavery and bring about social and economic development in Africa. However, these humanitarian and religious goals were often used to justify the exploitation and oppression of African people. Social interest is not a motive for British colonization of Africa. While some British colonizers may have believed they were bringing social benefits to Africa, such as modern technology or education, these were not the primary motives for British colonization.

Question 35 Report
The division of Sokoto caliphates into emirates is due to ________
Answer Details
The division of the Sokoto Caliphate into emirates was primarily due to geographical reasons. The Sokoto Caliphate was a vast empire that covered a large area of what is now Northern Nigeria, and it was ruled by an Islamic leader known as the Sultan. However, as the Caliphate expanded, it became increasingly difficult for the Sultan to effectively govern such a large territory from one centralized location. Therefore, the Sultanate was divided into smaller emirates, each with its own Emir who was responsible for administering the affairs of the local population in his domain. This helped to bring governance closer to the people, making it easier to provide for their needs and address their concerns. While the Sokoto Caliphate was established through a Jihad war led by Usman Dan Fodio, the division of the empire into emirates was not due to this war or the autocratic rule of Dan Fodio. Instead, it was a practical solution to the challenge of governing a large and diverse territory effectively.

Answer Details
The formation of the first 12 states in Nigeria took place in the year 1967. Before 1967, Nigeria was divided into three regions: Northern, Eastern, and Western regions. Each region was made up of several provinces, and these provinces were further divided into districts. However, in May 1967, the then military Head of State, General Yakubu Gowon, announced the creation of 12 states in Nigeria, which replaced the previous regional structure. The new states were designed to reflect Nigeria's diverse ethnic, cultural, and linguistic groups and promote national unity. The 12 states were: Lagos, Western State, Mid-Western State, Eastern State, Benue-Plateau State, North-Eastern State, Kwara State, Kano State, North-Western State, Cross River State, Rivers State, and South-Eastern State (later renamed to Anambra State). The creation of these states was not without controversy, as some ethnic groups felt they were not adequately represented in the new state boundaries. Nevertheless, the move was seen as an important step towards addressing Nigeria's diverse and complex sociopolitical landscape. In summary, the formation of the first 12 states in Nigeria took place in 1967, replacing the previous regional structure and reflecting Nigeria's diverse ethnic, cultural, and linguistic groups.
