Probably 90 percent of its population relied on the small village economy, also unchanged for centuries. Political independence provided the drive, and oil the financial means to modernize. Even now the average annual per capita l income of about $500 is unevenly distributed, with many village people being very poor. National plans call for universal education and the improvement of hospitals, roads and airports, electric plan, radio and TV, and industry. Lagos, the commercial capital, already has a population of over 10 million and so many automobile that new bridges and a fine elevated highway cannot handle the traffic. Such a rapid transition naturally creates strains. Politically, the most important task is to unite three major tribal groups: the Hausa-Fulani in the north, Ibo in the east and Yoruba in the west. They speak many different languages (English is the common language) and traditionally are suspicious of each other. A serious civil war occurred from 1967 to 1969 when Biafra tried unsuccessfully to secede. The constitution provides for democratic government, and a three tier of government. Although significant European influence in Nigeria is only about a century old along the southern coast, the Moslem religion and associated ideas have been present in the north, the more arid, regions since the 12th century. (Kano, for example, was a city
the sparse population couldn’t support much industrial revolution and so they continued to get their money from natural resources
However, for the sake of this essay, I am going to focus on Islam, its introduction, its practice, and its role in the lives of West Africans in the 8th through 15th centuries. With that being said, historians date the arrival of Islam in West Africa to roughly the 8th century C.E. Islamic scholars who had come from Arabia, through the Savannah, began to write about the history of West Africa and the role their religion played [1]. With the spread of Islam came the expansion of trade routes spanning across the continent. Along these commercial highways, Islamic culture fostered intellectual development and innovation never before known in West Africa. With this philosophical and theological expansion came increased literacy among native peoples and thirst for knowledge that resonated among West Africans for centuries. In short, Islam and its practice had just as much of an effect on the material world of West Africans as it did their intellectual

One example of the impact of Christianity on traditional religions is the state of Nigeria. In the state of Nigeria, its native religion is Yoruba. Islam is also the second largest religion that came to Nigeria from the middle east by trading between merchants. With the emergence of Christianity, Yoruba and Islam felt threatened by the number of people who were either forces or convinced in converting to Christianity. Leaders of these two religions did not stand still toward the issue.They put in a lot of efforts in order to stop Christianity from spreading across the country. However, These efforts seemed to be futile against the cooperation between colonial governments and missionaries, who used their superiority in military power to keep the rebellious African chiefs in their place. Christianity seemed to be used as a tool for the colonial government to show off their superiority of their own religious point of view compared to the traditional religion of native people. Christianity was not used for the sake of spreading religion like its earlier purpose before the colonial
CULTURE COMPARISON IN NIGERIA WITHIN THREE IGBO SPEAKING LANDS AND (YORUBA) LAND. Nigeria is a west African country with over 180 million people. It consist of 3 known ethnic groups, igbo’s, Hausa’s , and the Yoruba’s. The igbo’s (Biafrans) are known as Christians, the hausa’s are known as muslims and the yoruba’s are mixed Christians and muslims. However in this three ethnic groups there’s so much cultural, language and morality differences.
By 1906 British controlled Nigeria. Britain ruled through existing political institutions rather than establishing a whole new administrative network. African officials were set up, and in most cases not accepted by the mass of the people but were able to rule only because of the British power that stood behind them. The important decisions were made by the British Governor, and the African rulers soon lost all of their authority. Under the British, railroads and roads were built and the productions of cash crops were encouraged. The country became more urbanized as cities grew in size and importance. Africa continued to have no role in higher level government issues. In 1947, Great Britain declared a constitution that gave the African authorities a greater voice in national affairs. Three major political parties developed: The National council of Nigeria, the NCNC (National Convention of Nigerian Citizens) and the NPC (Northern People’s Congress). The constitution failed by 1952 and a new one, solidifying the division of Nigeria into three regions replaced it in 1954. In 1954 the Eastern and Western regions became internally self-governing, and the Northern region as well in
While watching the film “Sick around the World,” I learned that one of the first statements made on the video was extremely true. The statement made was, “other countries do much better than the U.S but spend a lot less money.” There were numerous innovations that impressed me from several different countries. The countries with innovations that stuck out the most were Germany, Japan, and Taiwan.
The Fulani were strict about the guidelines in regards to following the Islamic religion. However, not everyone in Africa who were Islamic followers were as strict; therefore, they practiced the religion in a way that fit their needs and beliefs. Even though, the Fulani’s belief structure was not unified throughout Africa, they did on the other hand form powerful states such as Guinea, Senegal, Mali, and northern Nigeria. Afterwards, they began to try and spread their beliefs beyond the areas for which they inhabited. For example, they setup schools implementing the teaching of the Quran.
In the beginning of 1000 C.E. the introduction of Islam was brought to West Africa.
Public health is a dynamic field of medicine that is concerned primarily with improving the health of populations rather than just the health of individuals. Winslow (1920) defined public health as;
The human condition is a term which references our complicated existence by highlighting our ongoing ability to adapt and change both our perceptions and values. Through our mental capabilities of both creativity and imagination, humanity is able to achieve a sense of both self-actualisation and liberation, resulting in them acting as the core of our existence where, without them we would become susceptible to the overwhelming flaws of the human condition. Evidencing this are the three texts, ‘Dejection: an Ode’, ‘This Lime Tree Bower my Prison’ and ‘Focus’, which
"The failure to engage in the fight to anticipate, prevent, and ameliorate global health problems would diminish America's stature in the realm of health and jeopardize our own health, economy, and national security, " stated by The Institute of Medicine. Global health refers to health phenomenon that transcends across national borders. For instance, global health would address predicaments such as: infectious and insect-borne diseases that can spread from one country to another. Thus, global health should be addressed by collaborative actions and solutions. On the other hand, countries tend to focus on other essential issues that are occurring in the present day and therefore, overlook the global health issue. Some issues that countries
