Bayanin Amsa

The protectorate of Nigeria in 1914 became regions in 1946. This means that Nigeria, which was previously divided into different territories for administrative purposes, was restructured into larger geographic units known as regions. Each region had its own government and was made up of several provinces. The move towards regional governance was part of the process of granting more autonomy to the different parts of Nigeria and laying the foundations for its eventual independence from British colonial rule in 1960.

Bayanin Amsa

Egyptian nationalism in the late 18th century and early 20th century mainly aimed at ensuring Egyptian independence. During this time period, Egypt was under the control of various foreign powers, including the Ottoman Empire, Britain, and France. Egyptian nationalists believed that their country should be governed by its own people and not by foreign powers. They sought to establish a sense of Egyptian identity and to create a government that was responsive to the needs and desires of the Egyptian people. One of the key figures in the Egyptian nationalist movement was Saad Zaghloul, who led the Wafd Party in the early 20th century. The Wafd Party called for an end to British occupation and for the establishment of a democratic government in Egypt. The party also demanded that Egypt be granted full independence and control over its own affairs. The Egyptian nationalist movement was also influenced by the rise of pan-Arabism, which sought to unite the Arab world and create a single, independent Arab state. Egyptian nationalists believed that Egypt should be at the forefront of this movement and should lead the way in creating a strong, independent Arab nation. In summary, Egyptian nationalism in the late 18th century and early 20th century aimed at ensuring Egyptian independence, as nationalists sought to establish a government that was responsive to the needs and desires of the Egyptian people and to end foreign control over their country.

The method of order used by Europeans to take over the present day Nigeria is________

Bayanin Amsa

The method of order used by Europeans to take over the present-day Nigeria was explorers, traders, missionaries, and imperialists. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, European powers, particularly Britain, France, and Germany, began to explore and colonize many parts of Africa. They sent out explorers to map and survey the land, followed by traders who established trading posts and began to trade with local communities. Missionaries also played a significant role in colonization, as they sought to convert Africans to Christianity and establish churches in the region. Finally, the imperialists came, backed by their respective governments, and established colonies and protectorates in Nigeria and other parts of Africa. The Europeans used force and coercion to maintain their dominance, and their methods of colonization had a profound impact on the social, economic, and political structures of the region that is still felt today.

Bayanin Amsa

The person who formed the name Nigeria after the amalgamation of the Southern and Northern protectorates was Flora Shaw. She was a British journalist and writer who was married to Lord Lugard, the first Governor-General of Nigeria. In 1914, Lord Lugard oversaw the amalgamation of the Northern and Southern protectorates, which created the country now known as Nigeria. Flora Shaw, who was then a colonial correspondent for The Times newspaper, suggested the name "Nigeria" as a way to describe the newly created territory. The name "Nigeria" was derived from the Niger River, which flows through the country, and was suggested by Flora Shaw in an article she wrote for The Times. The name quickly gained acceptance and was adopted as the official name of the country after its amalgamation. In summary, Flora Shaw was the person who formed the name Nigeria after the amalgamation of the Southern and Northern protectorates. She suggested the name "Nigeria" as a way to describe the newly created territory, and the name was quickly adopted and became the official name of the country.

One of the following is not a gearing factor towards the great trek.

Bayanin Amsa

The panic that emigration might decline civilization is not a gearing factor towards the Great Trek. The Great Trek was a movement of Boers (Dutch-speaking farmers) who migrated from the British-controlled Cape Colony in South Africa during the 1830s and 1840s. The Boers had a number of reasons for undertaking the Great Trek, including a desire for freedom from British domination, the restoration of their economic, cultural, and political independence, and a fear of conflict on the eastern frontier of South Africa. The Boers believed that the British were encroaching on their way of life and that they needed to establish their own independent republics in order to preserve their culture and traditions. The fear that emigration might decline civilization was not a factor that motivated the Boers to undertake the Great Trek.

Ethiopia's lowlands and high plateau protected the country from __________

Bayanin Amsa

Ethiopia's lowlands and high plateau protected the country from external invasion. This means that because of the geography of the country, which includes lowlands and a high plateau, it was difficult for foreign armies to invade and conquer Ethiopia. The rugged terrain and difficult to access areas made it hard for enemies to reach the core of the country and successfully invade it. This helped to protect Ethiopia from being taken over by other countries.

In whose regime was illegal West Africa aliens living in Nigeria expelled?

Bayanin Amsa

Illegal West Africa aliens living in Nigeria were expelled during the Buhari/Idiagbon era. In 1983, General Muhammadu Buhari became the military head of state of Nigeria after a military coup. He appointed Major-General Tunde Idiagbon as his deputy. During their regime, a policy was put in place to expel illegal immigrants who were mostly from West Africa, particularly Ghana. The policy was known as the "Aliens Compliance Order" and it gave illegal immigrants a two-week ultimatum to leave the country or face deportation. The policy was part of the government's effort to tackle economic challenges, including high unemployment and a shortage of resources, which were exacerbated by the presence of illegal immigrants. The government also believed that illegal immigrants were responsible for criminal activities and other social problems in the country. As a result of the policy, an estimated two million immigrants, mostly Ghanaians, were forced to leave Nigeria. The move was widely criticized by the international community and human rights groups, who accused the government of violating the rights of the immigrants. However, the Buhari/Idiagbon regime defended the policy, arguing that it was necessary to protect the interests of Nigerians and maintain law and order in the country.

The spread of Islam across East Africa was a major impact of the _________

Bayanin Amsa

Bayanin Amsa

The Portuguese were the first set of people to land on the present day Nigeria territory for trading activities. In the late 15th century, the Portuguese began exploring the West African coast, seeking a direct sea route to Asia for trade. In 1471, the Portuguese explorer, Rui de Sequeira, landed on the coast of what is now Nigeria and established trade relations with the local people. The Portuguese were particularly interested in trading for gold, ivory, and pepper, which they found in abundance in the region. They established trade posts and forts along the coast, including in Lagos, which became a major center for trade and commerce. The Portuguese also introduced Christianity to the region and attempted to establish a permanent settlement in the area, but they were met with resistance from the local rulers and were eventually driven out. Overall, the Portuguese played a significant role in the early European exploration and exploitation of West Africa, including what is now Nigeria. They were the first Europeans to establish contact with the local people and to begin trading for valuable resources in the region.

__________ is the economic control and exploitation of foreign lands arising from necessity to reverse the impediment to the accumulation of capital.

Bayanin Amsa

Imperialism is the economic control and exploitation of foreign lands arising from necessity to reverse the impediment to the accumulation of capital. Imperialism is a system in which a more powerful country extends its economic and political control over other countries or territories. It often involves the use of military force to acquire and maintain control of foreign lands, resources, and markets. Imperialism arose as a necessity for capitalist countries to find new markets for their products and new sources of raw materials to fuel their industries. Imperialism is often characterized by the exploitation of the labor and resources of the colonized people for the benefit of the imperial power.

Bayanin Amsa

The strained relationship between Nigeria and Britain during Murtala/Obasanjo's regime in 1975 led to the nationalization of British petroleum and Barclays bank. This means that the Nigerian government took control of these companies and made them state-owned. This move was seen as a way for Nigeria to assert its independence from Britain and to take control of its own resources. The nationalization of these companies caused some tension between Nigeria and Britain, but it was also seen as a way to promote economic growth and development in Nigeria.

The Muslim reform movement have grown due to inspiration from all the following except

Bayanin Amsa

The Muslim reform movement has grown due to inspiration from Pakistan, North Africa, and Arab countries. However, Argentina is not typically recognized as a source of inspiration for the Muslim reform movement. Pakistan, North Africa, and Arab countries have all seen significant political and social changes in recent years, which have led to increased interest in reforming traditional interpretations of Islam. These changes have been driven by a variety of factors, including political instability, economic hardship, and social inequality. As a result, many Muslims in these regions have sought new ways to practice their faith and have turned to reform movements as a means of achieving this. In contrast, Argentina is not typically recognized as a source of inspiration for the Muslim reform movement. While there is a small Muslim community in Argentina, it is not a major center of Islamic scholarship or activism. Therefore, it is less likely to be a source of inspiration for the Muslim reform movement compared to Pakistan, North Africa, and Arab countries.

The United Nations is an international organization consisting of 193 member states and is dedicated to promoting peace, security, and development around the world. Unlike the League of Nations, the United Nations has been successful in maintaining international peace and stability through diplomacy, conflict resolution, and peacekeeping efforts.

The first African to be ordained bishop by the Christian missionary school and consecrated as bishop of the Niger territory is Ajayi Crowther. Ajayi Crowther was a Yoruba man from western Nigeria who was captured as a slave when he was a child and taken to Sierra Leone. There, he was rescued by Christian missionaries and educated at the Fourah Bay College in Freetown, where he became a teacher and a Christian missionary. In 1843, Crowther was selected to be part of the Niger expedition, which aimed to explore and open up the River Niger for trade and missionary work. Crowther played a key role in the expedition, acting as an interpreter and mediator between the expedition members and the local communities they encountered. After the expedition, Crowther continued his work as a missionary and was ordained as a deacon in 1847 and later as a priest in 1852. In 1864, he was consecrated as the first African bishop of the Niger territory, which covered the area now known as Nigeria.

Bayanin Amsa

The main factor that led to depopulation of Nigerians around 1715 to 1789 was the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. This involved the capture, transport, and sale of millions of African people, including Nigerians, to European slave traders who took them across the Atlantic to work on plantations and in mines in the Americas. The slave trade resulted in significant loss of life, separation of families, and displacement of communities, which led to depopulation in many parts of Nigeria and other African countries.
