Bayanin Amsa
The Centenary Anniversary of Nigeria was a celebration to commemorate a hundred years since the Amalgamation of Nigeria on January 1st, 1914. The Amalgamation was a historic event that brought together the northern and southern protectorates of Nigeria to form a single entity, which was the foundation of the modern state of Nigeria. The celebration was a way to reflect on Nigeria's history, achievements, challenges, and aspirations as a nation.

In summary, the Centenary Anniversary of Nigeria was a celebration of a hundred years since the Amalgamation of Nigeria on January 1st, 1914, which was a significant event that brought together the northern and southern protectorates to form a single entity. While the celebration also recognized other significant events in Nigeria's history, such as the country's independence and transition to democracy, the main focus was to reflect on Nigeria's past, present, and future as a nation.

The Ife Civilization is therefore regarded as one of the most advanced and sophisticated civilizations in pre-colonial Africa.

Bayanin Amsa
The Nigerian Second Republic, which existed from 1979 to 1983, adopted a Presidential system of governance that was modeled after the American system. This system featured an executive president who was both the head of state and head of government, a bicameral legislature, and an independent judiciary. Under this system, power was separated among the three branches of government, and each had checks and balances to prevent the abuse of power. The Presidential system was intended to promote stability and efficiency in governance by providing a clear separation of powers and a strong executive to enforce laws and policies.

All the following except one were the motivating reasons behind the Great Trek
Bayanin Amsa
The Great Trek was a mass migration of Boers (Dutch settlers) from British-controlled Cape Colony in the 1830s. The Boers were dissatisfied with British rule and sought to establish independent republics in the interior of South Africa. The motivating reasons behind the Great Trek were: - Insecurity about the conflict on the Eastern frontier of South Africa: The Boers were concerned about the aggression of the Zulu kingdom and other indigenous peoples, which threatened their security. - Restoration of economic, cultural, and political unity independent of the British power: The Boers sought to establish their own independent republics where they could control their own affairs and be free from British influence. - Threat of liberalism by the new colonial regime: The Boers were opposed to British policies such as the abolition of slavery, which they believed threatened their way of life. The option that is not a motivating reason behind the Great Trek is "the fear that the emigration might lead to a decline of civilization." There is no historical evidence to suggest that this was a motivating factor behind the Great Trek.

Bayanin Amsa
The Colony and Protectorate of Lagos and the Protectorate of Southern Nigeria were merged in 1906 to form the Colony and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria. In the late 19th century, the British established a number of colonies and protectorates in what is now Nigeria, with the aim of controlling trade and exploiting natural resources. The Colony and Protectorate of Lagos, which had been established in 1861, was one of these territories, while the Protectorate of Southern Nigeria was formed in 1900. In 1906, the British government decided to merge these two territories to form the Colony and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria. The merger was part of a broader effort to streamline British administration in Nigeria and create a more efficient colonial system. The new colony and protectorate was a vast territory that included a diverse array of ethnic and linguistic groups. It was governed by a governor, who was appointed by the British government, and had a legislative council that included both appointed and elected members. The Colony and Protectorate of Southern Nigeria continued to exist until 1914, when it was merged with the Protectorate of Northern Nigeria to form the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria, which was administered as a single entity until Nigeria gained independence in 1960.

Bayanin Amsa
A policy central to the Kanem-Borno Empire was that of imperial expansion and firearms trading. The Kanem-Borno Empire was a medieval state that existed in present-day Chad, Nigeria, Niger, and Cameroon from the 9th century to the 19th century. During its peak, the empire was a major center of trade and commerce, and it controlled a vast territory that stretched across the Sahel region of Africa. The empire's rulers were known for their military prowess, and they employed a variety of strategies to expand their territory and influence. One of the most important policies of the Kanem-Borno Empire was that of imperial expansion. The empire's rulers constantly sought to expand their territory and increase their power, often through military conquests and alliances with neighboring states. In addition to military campaigns, the empire's rulers also engaged in diplomacy and trade to expand their influence. Firearms trading was another central policy of the Kanem-Borno Empire. The empire was a major center of trade in the Sahel region, and its rulers were known for their ability to acquire and trade firearms, which gave them a significant military advantage over their rivals. Firearms were often acquired through trade with Arab and European merchants, and they were used extensively in the empire's military campaigns. In summary, the Kanem-Borno Empire's central policies included imperial expansion and firearms trading, which were essential to the empire's military and economic power.

Bayanin Amsa
The Local Government Reform of 1976 was the programme initiated to institutionalize the local government system in Nigeria. The Local Government Reform of 1976 was introduced by the military government of General Murtala Mohammed with the aim of decentralizing power and promoting grassroots development. The reform created a system of local governments across Nigeria, which were responsible for delivering basic services to their communities, such as water, sanitation, and primary healthcare. Under the reform, each state was divided into local government areas (LGAs), and each LGA was to have a democratically elected council responsible for governing the affairs of the local community. The councils were expected to generate revenue, manage local resources, and prioritize the needs of the community. The Local Government Reform of 1976 was a significant milestone in Nigeria's political history, as it marked a departure from the centralized governance that had characterized the country's post-independence period. The reform helped to bring governance closer to the people and empowered local communities to participate in decision-making and development. It's worth noting that while there was a Local Government Reform of 1979, it was a follow-up to the 1976 reform and did not introduce any significant changes to the local government system.

Bayanin Amsa
The division of the Sokoto Caliphate into Emirates was largely due to the geographical reasons of the vastness of the territory under the Caliphate's control. The Sokoto Caliphate was a vast Islamic empire that covered a large area of present-day Northern Nigeria and some parts of Niger, Benin, and Cameroon. The administration of such a vast territory was challenging, and it became necessary to break it down into smaller administrative units for effective governance. To achieve this, the Caliphate was divided into Emirates, with each being headed by an Emir who was responsible for the administration of his Emirates. This administrative structure made it easier to control the territory and provided an opportunity for the decentralization of power. While there may have been some rivalry between the Hausa Jihadists and the Fulani scholars, and some economic factors may have influenced the decision to create the Emirates, the primary reason was the need for a more efficient administrative structure due to the geographical vastness of the Sokoto Caliphate.

Imperialist powers in Africa used the "Divide-and-Rule Policy" to maintain control and domination over the continent. This policy involved dividing different ethnic, religious, or cultural groups against each other, creating conflicts and preventing unity among the people. By doing so, the colonial powers could easily maintain control and exploit the resources of the African countries without facing much resistance from the local population. In simple terms, the "Divide-and-Rule Policy" was a strategy used by colonial powers to weaken the solidarity of the people and make it easier for them to govern.

Bayanin Amsa
Decree No. 34 of 1966 was the Unitarism Policy of Major General Aguiyi Ironsi. After taking over the government in a military coup in 1966, Major General Johnson Aguiyi Ironsi introduced several policies aimed at consolidating his grip on power and addressing the country's political and administrative challenges. One of the most significant of these policies was the Unitarism Policy, which was introduced through Decree No. 34 of 1966. The Unitarism Policy was designed to replace the existing federal system of government with a centralized unitary system. This involved abolishing the regions and replacing them with a system of 12 states, each headed by a military governor appointed by Ironsi. The policy was also intended to reduce the influence of regional and ethnic interests in national affairs and strengthen the central government's control over the country. However, the Unitarism Policy was highly controversial and unpopular, especially in the North, where many felt it would give undue advantage to the South. The policy was one of the factors that led to Ironsi's overthrow and assassination in a counter-coup in July 1966. Overall, Decree No. 34 of 1966 was a major policy initiative of Major General Aguiyi Ironsi's administration that aimed to centralize power in the hands of the federal government through the establishment of a unitary system of government in Nigeria.

Bayanin Amsa
In the 17th century, Dutch settlers largely relied on black South African slaves to build up South Africa. The Dutch East India Company, which controlled the Cape Colony, needed a large workforce to establish a settlement and grow crops to supply their ships. To meet this demand, they imported slaves from Angola, Mozambique, and other parts of Africa to work on farms and in households. Over time, the slave population grew and became an essential part of the economy. They were used for a variety of tasks, such as farming, construction, and domestic work. Despite the harsh conditions and treatment, the slave population also contributed to the cultural diversity of the region. It's worth noting that while natural resources, government proceeds, and basic social infrastructure were also important factors in building up South Africa, in the 17th century, it was the labor of black South African slaves that played a crucial role in the development of the region.
