Extractions: ISLAM ACROSS THE SAHARA TO WEST AFRICA There was little contact between North and West Africa in Roman times, but with the camel the Arabs and their Berber allies moved freely over the desert. They were attracted by gold and slaves. `Uqba raided deep into the Libyan desert, demanding 360 slaves from each town he came to. Far to the west, abîb ibn-abî-`Ubayda, grandson of `Uqba, raided Sûs (southern Morocco) and the land of the Blacks. "He achieved a victory over them such as was never seen and got all the gold he wanted. He also captured some girls." For many years gold was the main export of West Africa to the north, and slaves the main export of Central Africa. `Uqba's exploits entered West African legend, and he is made out to be the ancestor of the western Saharan Kunta tribe and of the Fulani. The various Berber tribes of the desert quickly became Muslim as a result of contact with the Arabs and integration in the trans-Saharan trade. An interesting characteristic of the early Muslim outposts in the desert and the Sahel was their separate Muslim identity. Awdaghust and Tadmakka served as exclusively Muslim jumping-off points in close reach of Ghâna and Gao respectively. Moreover, Ghâna and Gao each consisted of two separate towns, one for the indigenous people and their king, and the other for the Muslim foreign population. Little is known about the life of the Muslim Arab communities in Kanem, except that Zawîla was their important relay point for exporting slaves to the north, and they must have had settlements within Kanem itself.

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.

Self-help economic ventures empower participants to increase their income through activities such as buying and reselling of local food items, production and marketing of pomade, soap, detergent, beads, clothing, slippers and local soft drinks. The Primary Health Care component of the urban project focuses on AIDS/STD education, exclusive breast-feeding and environmental sanitation.

Thread Index INDIGENOUS PEOPLE AND THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL RIGHTS Dear networkers, As the world summit on Sustainable Development 2002 (the Earth Summit) draws near we will focus on some of its resolutions and how it affects indigenous people in Nigeria. Here in Nigeria we have over 300 ethnic groups and numerous indigenous people who still live harmoniously with nature and who over the centuries have developed indigenous knowledge and technologies for survival. We have the Cattle Fulani who roam the vast Savannah plains of West Africa with their herds of cattle. They are very similar to the famous Masai of East Africa. We have the Ijaws of Niger-Delta who are nomadic fishermen and can be found through out the Niger-Delta living off the rich habitat. Most of these Nigerian citizens' way of life and culture has evolved over centuries is being threatened by pollution, environmental degradation, globalisation and oil exploitation. The Cattle Fulani of Nigeria The Fulani are another Hamitic people who live throughout the Western Sudan from Senegambia in the West to the Chad territory in the East: and also in the highlands of the Cameroons.

Extractions: In the late 1300's, civil strife within Kanuri territory began to seriously weaken the empire. By the early 1400's, Kanuri power shifted from Kanem to Bornu, a Kanuri kingdom south and west of Lake Chad. When Songhay fell, this new Kanuri empire of Bornu grew rapidly. The Kanuri grew powerful enough to unite the kingdom of Bornu with Kanem during the reign of Idris Alawma (1575-1610). Idris Alawma was a fervent Muslim and set about building a Muslim state all the way west into Hausaland in northern Nigeria. This state would last for another two hundred years, but in 1846, it finally succumbed to the growing power of the Hausa states. Pictured above are Bornu trumpeters sounding the Frum-Frums. The Bornu were well known for their chain-mailed cavalry. These trumpeter may have served to lead the medieval African kingdom's powerful shock troops into battle. (Photo courtesy of WSU) The Hausa Kingdoms Being in close contact with one another, these kingdoms all shared a common language, Hausa. In the late 1300's Islam began to filter into Hausaland through traveling merchants. But the pace was relatively slow. It was not until the 1450's that a group of people from the Senegal River, known as the Fulani, began immigrating in large numbers into Hausaland that a strong Islamic presence took root. The Fulani immigration was driven by the desertification of north and western Africa. A pastoral people, the Fulani were in search of a land that could support their herds. Devoutly Muslim, with a great deal of indigenous beliefs therein, the Fulani not only brought Islam and its books, but also began to set up Islamic schools and learning centers all throughout Hausaland. Pictured above is a 1959 picture of Kano, a city that traces back to one of the early Hausa kingdoms. (Photo courtesy of WSU)

Extractions: The Hamitic subfamily is generally considered to include ancient Egyptian (see Egyptian language) and its descendant, Coptic; the Berber languages; and the Cushitic languages. Ancient Egyptian and Coptic are extinct. Some linguists also place the Chad languages within the Hamitic subfamily. Those Hamitic tongues are or were spoken in N Africa, much of the Sahara, the Horn of E Africa, and parts of central and W Africa. They were named after Ham, the second son of the biblical Noah, whose descendants supposedly were the original speakers of the Hamitic languages.

Ethnicity In Nigeria Once a nomadic people, they believe themselves to be They do maintain an indigenous home, however the was established to avoid the fulani s annual slave http://www.scholars.nus.edu.sg/landow/post/nigeria/ethnicity.html
Extractions: The ethnicity of Nigeria is so varied that there is no definition of a Nigerian beyond that of someone who lives within the borders of the country (Ukpo, p. 19). The boundaries of the formerly English colony were drawn to serve commercial interests, largely without regard for the territorial claims of the indigenous peoples (38). As a result, about three hundred ethnic groups comprise the population of Nigeria (7), and the country's unity has been consistently under siege: eight attempts at secession threatened national unity between 1914 and 1977. The Biafran War was the last of the secessionist movements within this period (3). The concept of ethnicity requires definition. Ukpo calls an "ethnic group" a "group of people having a common language and cultural values" (10). These common factors are emphasized by frequent interaction between the people in the group. In Nigeria, the ethnic groups are occasionally fusions created by intermarriage, intermingling and/or assimilation. In such fusions, the groups of which they are composed maintain a limited individual identity. The groups are thus composed of smaller groups, but there is as much difference between even the small groups; as Chief Obafemi Awolowo put it, as much "as there is between Germans, English, Russians and Turks" (11). The count of three hundred ethnic groups cited above overwhelmingly enumerates ethnic minority groups, those which do not comprise a majority in the region in which they live. These groups usually do not have a political voice, nor do they have access to resources or the technology needed to develop and modernize economically. They therefore often consider themselves discriminated against, neglected, or oppressed. There are only three ethnic groups which have attained "ethnic majority" status in their respective regions: the Hausa-Fulani in the north, the
