The discovery of Terracotta in 1928 on NOK soil in Kaduna state was by?

Walter Egerton

Colonel Dent Young Correct answer

Sanni Dikiya

Turuga Jo's

Answer Details

The discovery of Terracotta in 1928 on NOK soil in Kaduna state was made by Colonel Dent Young, a British colonial administrator who was serving as the Resident of the Northern Province of Nigeria at the time. During a routine inspection of a tin mine in the village of Nok, Young stumbled upon some strange objects that turned out to be ancient terracotta sculptures. These sculptures were unlike anything he had seen before, and he immediately recognized their significance. Young made the discovery of the Nok Terracotta figurines by chance, but his efforts to document and preserve the findings helped to launch the study of ancient Nigerian art and culture. Today, the Nok Terracotta remains a crucial piece of African history, and a symbol of the rich cultural heritage of Nigeria.

Oyo empire Correct answer

Dahomey

Ile Ife

Answer Details

The Oyo empire wielded the administrative power over other Yoruba land in the 19th century. The Oyo empire was a powerful kingdom that emerged in what is now southwestern Nigeria in the 14th century. At its peak in the 17th and 18th centuries, the Oyo empire was one of the most powerful states in West Africa and had significant influence over other Yoruba-speaking communities in the region. In the 19th century, the Oyo empire continued to exercise significant administrative power over other Yoruba lands. The empire had a well-structured administrative system with a central authority and local chiefs who had various responsibilities such as collecting taxes and maintaining law and order. The Oyo empire also had a powerful army which was used to maintain its authority over other Yoruba-speaking communities and protect its borders from external threats. Despite its power, the Oyo empire faced several challenges in the 19th century, including conflicts with other Yoruba states and European powers who were beginning to colonize the region. These challenges eventually led to the decline of the Oyo empire and the fragmentation of the Yoruba-speaking communities in the region.

One of the following is not a gearing factor towards the great trek.

Freedom from British domination

Bringing back to normal the economic, cultural and political independence

The panic that emigration might decline civilization Correct answer

The fear of conflict on the eastern frontier of South Africa

Answer Details

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.

Imperialism is a system in which a more powerful country extends its economic and political control over other countries or territories. It often involves the use of military force to acquire and maintain control of foreign lands, resources, and markets. Imperialism arose as a necessity for capitalist countries to find new markets for their products and new sources of raw materials to fuel their industries. Imperialism is often characterized by the exploitation of the labor and resources of the colonized people for the benefit of the imperial power.

Ethiopia's lowlands and high plateau protected the country from external invasion. This means that because of the geography of the country, which includes lowlands and a high plateau, it was difficult for foreign armies to invade and conquer Ethiopia. The rugged terrain and difficult to access areas made it hard for enemies to reach the core of the country and successfully invade it. This helped to protect Ethiopia from being taken over by other countries.

Egyptian nationalism in late 18th century and early 20th century majorly aimed at ________

manipulating the Suez Canal

turning out military dictatorship in Egypt

ensuring Egyptian independence Correct answer

Upholding the monarch stance

Answer Details

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.

The method of order used by Europeans to take over the present day Nigeria is________

Explorers, imperialists, trader and missionaries

Explorer, trader, missionaries and imperialists Correct answer

Trader, colonialist, indirect rule and freedom

Freedom, trader, colonialist and imperialist

Answer Details

The method of order used by Europeans to take over the present-day Nigeria was explorers, traders, missionaries, and imperialists. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, European powers, particularly Britain, France, and Germany, began to explore and colonize many parts of Africa. They sent out explorers to map and survey the land, followed by traders who established trading posts and began to trade with local communities. Missionaries also played a significant role in colonization, as they sought to convert Africans to Christianity and establish churches in the region. Finally, the imperialists came, backed by their respective governments, and established colonies and protectorates in Nigeria and other parts of Africa. The Europeans used force and coercion to maintain their dominance, and their methods of colonization had a profound impact on the social, economic, and political structures of the region that is still felt today.

At the Berlin Conference of 1884/1885, European countries met and divided up Africa among themselves, with each country claiming certain territories. As a result of this scramble, Nigeria became a British colony in West Africa. The British ruled Nigeria until 1960, when the country gained its independence.

Freed slave settlement Correct answer

Social activities

Answer Details

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.

ebruary 3, 1976

Answer Details

The second military coup d'état in Nigeria took place on July 29, 1966. This coup was carried out by a group of military officers, mainly from the Igbo ethnic group, in response to the first military coup which had taken place on January 15, 1966. The January 1966 coup was led by mostly Igbo officers who overthrew the democratic government of Nigeria, which led to the assassination of several prominent Nigerian politicians from the Northern and Western regions. The July 1966 coup was a retaliatory response by Northern Nigerian military officers who overthrew the military government that came to power after the January coup. The coup was a violent and bloody one, and it led to the death of the then Head of State, Major General Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, who was from the Igbo ethnic group. This event further exacerbated the already-tense ethnic and regional divisions within Nigeria, which ultimately led to the outbreak of the Nigerian Civil War in 1967.

Answer Details

The first African to be ordained bishop by the Christian missionary school and consecrated as bishop of the Niger territory is Ajayi Crowther. Ajayi Crowther was a Yoruba man from western Nigeria who was captured as a slave when he was a child and taken to Sierra Leone. There, he was rescued by Christian missionaries and educated at the Fourah Bay College in Freetown, where he became a teacher and a Christian missionary. In 1843, Crowther was selected to be part of the Niger expedition, which aimed to explore and open up the River Niger for trade and missionary work. Crowther played a key role in the expedition, acting as an interpreter and mediator between the expedition members and the local communities they encountered. After the expedition, Crowther continued his work as a missionary and was ordained as a deacon in 1847 and later as a priest in 1852. In 1864, he was consecrated as the first African bishop of the Niger territory, which covered the area now known as Nigeria. Crowther is recognized as a pioneer in the spread of Christianity in Nigeria and played a key role in the translation of the Bible into Yoruba and other Nigerian languages. He is also remembered as a symbol of the resilience and determination of Africans in the face of slavery and colonialism.

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.

Ibadis believe in the importance of consensus and consultation in matters of governance, and they reject the use of violence in religious disputes. Abdullah Ibn Ibad was a scholar who lived in the early Islamic period and is considered the founder of the Ibadhi branch of Islam. The majority of Oman's population is Ibadhi, and the country has a long history of tolerance and coexistence between different religious communities.

Answer Details

Before the advent of colonialism, the South-Eastern part of Nigeria was organized into village or clan-based political systems. Before the arrival of European colonizers, the indigenous communities of the South-Eastern region of Nigeria had their own traditional political systems. These political systems were based on the village or clan, and each community was governed by a council of elders or a traditional leader. These leaders were responsible for making decisions for their community and resolving disputes. The traditional political systems in the South-Eastern region of Nigeria were highly decentralized and relied on the cooperation and consensus of the community members.
