Extractions: Introduction: In 1914, the Northern and Southern Protectorates of a colony, an administrative boundaries set up by the British colonialists, were dismantled and the colonies merged by Sir Frederick Lord Lugard. The merger became the first political turning point and a milestone development. It brought about the birth through the amalgamation of a unit geo-entity and nation called Nigeria. Consequently, Nigeria did not evolve through any known ethnographic origins. The amalgamation was cosmetic and that can be seen as such because there were no elements of homogeneity in the peoples that occupied the vast landmass. And then, in 1960, a new Nation State earned her right to self-determination and government. Nigeria, now a sovereign entity followed in the wake of the traditions willed to her by her colonialists. She readily embraced the English Language as her tentative Lingua-franca. This was not done in isolation as the country took due cognizance of the fact that Nigeria is a land of contrasts.

Extractions: Language is very important in every human interaction. It is the medium of education. This explains the fact that in Nigeria, to be educated is synonymous with literacy and proficiency in English Language English being the official language. This paper examines the concept of Universal Basic Education (UBE) and English Language in terms of definition, origin, purpose, relevance and prospects. It concludes that if both concepts are properly harnessed, synthesized and implemented, it will encourage, promote and sustain national development in Nigeria. Education is as old as the existence of man on earth. The early man learnt to adapt to his social and physical environment by observation and precarious learning. Later generations were taught to cope with their environments by the process of socialization. Over the years, governments have evolved national objectives to be attained through education because education has been acclaimed as the instrument for the development of a nation. It is a tool that appears to have been utilized by developed nations to attain national development. Developing nations particularly countries in Africa have sought national development by using education to attain desired objectives. In Nigeria, after over four decades of Independence, the degree of illiteracy is still alarming and the standard of education is fading at an irredeemable rate. It was in view of the above that the Federal Government of Nigeria evolved the Universal Primary Education (UPE) scheme1976 and the Universal Basic Education (UBE) in 1999.
Extractions: INTRODUCTION Ndi Igbo have suffered the double misfortune of being misunderstood and having a bad press. In spite of their stupendous achievements in every area of human endeavour, particularly in science and technology, religion and education, the Igbo nation has been deliberately and systematically marginalized. At the risk of sounding patriotic and accommodating, Ndi Igbo have suffered the loss of their human rights and dignity but have also shown great courage and determination to survive as a people. The questions arise. What is it that keeps Ndi Igbo going despite all odds? What is it that makes them behave, act, and move the way they do? What is the power behind the Igbo? Why was Igbo religion in conflict with Christianity? Why do the Igbo love the Christian way of life? The answers to these questions are the main focus of this paper. These answers definitely are rooted in the traditional religious life and philosophy of Ndi Igbo. It has been rightly observed that the Igbo are a highly religious people. Writing about the Igbo in the early 1900, Major A.G. Leonard in his book

This page lists the African, Egypt-Nubian, African American introduction, and a few of Western art influenced by African art. This page does not list my Egyptian non-Nubian slides, and additional African American and African European slides, which are on different lists. In addition to the above slides, I show additional works or art on the 20 videotapes I have on African art and related culture, and art processes. The timeframes of these tapes range from approximately 15 to 90 minutes. I plan to write a Web page of notes on these tapes. In teaching African art, I use all or part of these slides, videotapes, and other materials, depending on the nature and purpose of the course, and the course's place in the institution's curriculum. This list divides the continent into three geographic divisions, North, East and Southern, West, and Central. Each division is subdivided by traditional, crafts, and neo-African art as recent as 1999. The list concludes with African-influenced art and crafts, and an introduction to African American art if the latter is appropriate.

BENIN IN CONTEMPORARY NIGERIA AN AGENDA FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY BY Professor Eghosa Osagie, Ph.D Director of Studies National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru Jacob Egharevba Memorial Lecture organized by the Institute for Benin Studies, and delivered at Oba Akenzua Cultural Centre, Benin City, on December, 10, 1999 A. INTRODUCTION I would start by putting on record my appreciation to the Institute for Benin Studies for inviting me to deliver the Second Egharevba Memorial Lecture. Two years ago, the Institute organized the inaugural lecture delivered by my friend, brother and colleague, Professor Unionmwan Edebiri on "Benin and the outer world". That scholarly lecture appropriately set an admirably high standard for succeeding ones. It is indeed a great honour and privilege to be invited to deliver a public lecture in memory of one of Africa's greatest scholars, visionaries and sages. Chief Egharevba devoted his life to carrying out research into Benin history, civilization, and publishing his findings and conclusions in books that are most valuable for the study and preservation of Benin culture. There is one aspect of his work, which I consider most important for the purpose of this lecture and to which I will return later. This is his foresight in anticipating problems and wisdom in proffering fitting solutions. Ladies and gentlemen, permit me to quote from his BENIN LAWS AND CUSTOMS as follows: -

The church, at the end of its ecclesiastical council meeting in Lagos, condemned what it considers as the "unprovoked and unwarranted attacks and killings of Christians in Kaduna and other parts of Northern Nigeria." Although it endorsed government's political solution to the crisis, it warned that court decision on the controversial Sharia legal code may "create the situation of the victor and the vanguished which can threaten the corporate existence of Nigeria." Urging sponsors of riot to retrace their steps, the church pointed out that "the fall-out of incessant religious violence in the country may be too grim for Nigeria, especially for the prostrate economy." It reminded religious zealots that all religions are united in their tenets of holiness and abhorence for hatred, corruption, violence, robbery, murder and indeed any action that can cause pain and distress to fellow mankind."

Extractions: I Agree With Professor Omo Omoruyi By Ubanese Nwanganga ubanganga@yahoo.co.uk The endorsement of president Obasanjo and categorization of presidential candidates of Igbo extraction as spoilers by Prof. Omo Omoruyi, a Bini man, has, expectedly, drawn the anger of the Igbo intelligentsia. I am an Igbo man but I lay no claim to any intellectual achievements of the type of either Prof. Omoruyi or of the Igbo who have been enraged by the comments of the Bini man. Be that as it may, as a retired federal officer, I have, during my years of active service to the federal government, come to appreciate the post civil war problems of the Igbo as members of the Nigerian family. I wish to draw from this experience in my little contribution to the ongoing controversy. Prof. Omoruyi talked about lack of vision among the Igbo leadership after the civil war. Is this not a self-evident truth? Now, let us consider the following. Ukpabi Asika, as Administrator of the former East Central State, saw himself as an appointee of the federal authorities and therefore owed nothing to the Igbo. He was in office by the goodwill of those who had conquered Igboland. And he went ahead to unleash the worst form of administration on his kit and kin. But for the criticisms of Asika and his style of leadership by the Owelle of Onitsha, Asikas own brother, other Igbo leaders kept quiet and were busy struggling for crumbs from Asikas administration. It never bothered them that the appointment of a Yoruba as the federal commissioner for reconstruction and development after the war was tantamount to handing Igboland over to their arch rival for the final solution. Prof. Adedeji did not disappoint the architects of the plan.
