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.

Awọn alaye Idahun

The three existing groups before the creation of the Organization of African Unity in 1963 were the Casablanca Group, the Brazzaville Group, and the Monrovia Group. The Casablanca Group was made up of African countries that supported a more unified, federal approach to African independence and the formation of a united African state. It included countries such as Egypt, Ghana, Guinea, Mali, Libya, and Morocco. The Brazzaville Group, on the other hand, was made up of African countries that supported a more gradual, step-by-step approach to African unity and independence. This group included countries such as Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Gabon, and Madagascar. The Monrovia Group was made up of African countries that were considered more aligned with the Western powers and supported a more conservative, non-aligned approach to African unity and independence. It included countries such as Liberia, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and Senegal. These groups had different ideas about how to achieve African unity and independence, and their different perspectives and approaches eventually led to the formation of the Organization of African Unity in 1963, which aimed to promote unity and cooperation among African nations.

This means that they act as intermediaries or go-betweens who facilitate trade and communication between these two groups. The Efik were skilled traders who were able to navigate the complex trade networks of the region, and they played an important role in the exchange of goods and services between the coast and the interior.

Awọn alaye Idahun

Before 1963, the Privy Council was the highest court in Nigeria. The Privy Council was a judicial body based in London, England, that served as the final court of appeal for the British Empire and Commonwealth countries, including Nigeria. The Privy Council was made up of senior judges and legal experts appointed by the British monarch. Nigerian cases that could not be resolved by the Supreme Court or the Court of Appeal were appealed to the Privy Council. However, in 1963, the Nigerian Constitution was amended to establish the Supreme Court of Nigeria as the final court of appeal in the country, effectively ending the appellate jurisdiction of the Privy Council in Nigeria.

Freetown was use to facilitate ________ from 1822 to early 20th century.

Awọn alaye Idahun

Freetown, which is the capital city of Sierra Leone, was used to facilitate the settlement of freed slaves from 1822 to the early 20th century. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, several British organizations and individuals began advocating for the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade and the emancipation of enslaved Africans. After the British Parliament passed the Slavery Abolition Act in 1833, which abolished slavery throughout the British Empire, many enslaved Africans were freed and needed a place to settle. In 1822, the British government established a settlement for freed slaves in Freetown, which had been founded by the Sierra Leone Company in 1792 as a home for repatriated Africans and other people of African descent. The freed slaves, known as the "recaptives," were resettled in Freetown and other parts of Sierra Leone. Freetown became a center of resettlement for freed slaves from all over West Africa, and the settlement of the recaptives continued until the early 20th century. Freetown also became a hub for the anti-slavery movement and the promotion of Christianity, as many of the recaptives were evangelized by Christian missionaries and educated in Christian schools. In summary, Freetown was used to facilitate the settlement of freed slaves from 1822 to the early 20th century, as the British government established a settlement for them in the city.

Awọn alaye Idahun

The Mfecane, also known as the Difaqane, happened between 1815 and 1840 in Southern Africa. During this period, there were widespread conflicts and migrations among various African ethnic groups in the region, including the Zulu, Sotho, Ndebele, and others. These conflicts were often sparked by competition over resources like land and cattle, and were exacerbated by the introduction of firearms by European traders. The Mfecane led to the displacement of many people, as well as the formation of new states and alliances. It also had long-lasting effects on the political and social structures of Southern Africa, shaping the region's history for generations to come.

Awọn alaye Idahun

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.

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

Awọn alaye Idahun

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.

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

Awọn alaye Idahun

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.

Through the Lagos Daily News, Macaulay was able to champion the cause of Nigerian nationalism and promote the political aspirations of his people. The newspaper was a powerful tool for political activism and played a significant role in the eventual attainment of independence for Nigeria in 1960. In summary, the establishment of the Lagos Daily News by Herbert Macaulay helped to fast-track the activity of nationalists in Nigeria by providing a voice for the nationalist movement and serving as a platform for the expression of political ideals and the dissemination of information on political developments.

Awọn alaye Idahun

The Mahdist rebellion against the Egyptian authority was successful due to widespread support. The Mahdist rebellion was a religious and political movement that began in the late 19th century in Sudan. The movement was led by Muhammad Ahmad, who claimed to be the Mahdi or savior of Islam. The Mahdi and his followers were opposed to the Egyptian authorities, who were seen as corrupt and oppressive. One of the main reasons for the success of the Mahdist rebellion was the widespread support it received from the Sudanese people. The Mahdi was able to mobilize large numbers of people by appealing to their religious beliefs and promising to overthrow the Egyptian authorities and establish a just and fair Islamic state. The Mahdi's message resonated with many Sudanese who were unhappy with the Egyptian authorities and saw the Mahdi as a legitimate leader who could bring about positive change. In addition to the support of the people, the Mahdi's forces were also successful in military engagements with the Egyptian authorities. The Mahdi and his followers were able to defeat Egyptian armies in several battles, which further strengthened their position and weakened the authority of the Egyptian government. While the leadership skills of Gordon, the British Governor-General of Sudan, have been questioned in the aftermath of the rebellion, it is important to note that the rebellion was largely a result of popular dissatisfaction with the Egyptian authorities and their policies in Sudan.

The ANC's efforts eventually led to the end of apartheid in the 1990s and the election of Nelson Mandela as the country's first black president in 1994.

Awọn alaye Idahun

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.
