Assignment 1

INTRODUCTION Nigeria's social boundaries are often described as artificial.This characterisation is generally acceptable in the sense that certain ethnic groups and governmental societies were split and located within the colonial state territories of different European powers, following the 1884 Berlin Conference and the subsequent legal instruments. Thus, although Nigeria formally became one entity in 1914 after the amalgamation of the then northern and southern protectorates along with Lagos, many members of different social groups found their kinsmen and friendly neighbours just outside Nigeria's political boundaries. Yet, peoples in the pre-colonial geographical region now occupied by Nigeria and her neighbours such as the Cameroun, Chad, Niger and Benin Republics, were not only linked by blood or descent but also by trade and commerce, as well as by relations of friendship and conflict. The above factors defined the nature of international relations in the region. People of the different nationalities were not totally strange to each other. Instead, there was something natural and common to most of the people found in this pre-colonial region. Thus, Chief Obafemi Awolowo's viewpoint that Nigeria is "a mere geographical expression" (Awolowo, 1947) can only still mean that one could not speak of Nigeria as a society with a national identification in the same sense as one could speak of say the Katsina emirate, or the kingdom of Benin or lfe. Awolowo argued that Nigeria, being a multi-national or polyethnic society, could not be regarded as one nation. Top THE PAST In the very distant past, many of the peoples now located in Nigeria shared many social values and cultural traits. In this connection, Hambly (1935) refers to a substratum of African culture shared in common by peoples in the region of present-day Nigeria, particularly in its southern part. This suggests that many of these peoples main tained a high degree of homogeneity. Within the Nigerian region, there was also a history of long migrations and settlements with such a mixture of social and cultural relationships that it often became difficult to separate the people within these settlements into neat socio-cuttural groups. In recognition of the above feature of the social-cultural arrangement in the region, Arikpo (1957) I asserted that early and long contacts between Annang From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Annang (also spelled Anaang) is a cultural and ethnic group that lives in the Coastal Southeast Nigeria (also known as Southeastern Nigeria or former Southeastern State of Nigeria). At present, the Annangs have eight local government areas of the present thirty-one local government areas in Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria (Akwa Ibom State Local Government Areas), namely Abak, Essien Udim, Etim Ekpo, Ika, Ikot Ekpene, Obot Akara, Oruk Anam and Ukanafun in the Akwa Ibom State of Nigeria. They were formerly located in the former Abak and Ikot Ekpene Divisions of the Annang Province, in the former Eastern Region of Nigeria. peoples in the region promoted common understanding, shared fate and common commitments, it was I therefore possible for him to suggest the conclusion that "Nigeria is not an accident ... (and) not an artificial creation." This perspective of a high degree of homogeneity and oneness in the region is further butttressed by the language argument. It should be noted that language is a critical part of a people's culture and a powerful instrument for preserving and transmitting values and systems from one generation to another. Most Nigerian languages belong to three main language families. The first is the , NigerCongo, with its subgroups, which include such languages as the Bariba, Birom, Busa, Chamba, Edo (including Bini and Urhobo), Efik (including Ibibio), Fulani, Idoma, lgbo, ljo (ljaw), Jukun, Kambari, Nupe, Tiv, Vere and Yoruba. The second major language family, the Afro-Asiatic, consists of Angas, Bachama, Bura, Hausa, Higi, Mergi, Shuwa and others. The third major language group is the Nilo-Saharan. It includes Dendi and Kanuri, among others. People who speak the different languages belonging to the Nigerian language families have lived together as neighbours for long periods under mutual socio-economic and ) sociopolitical influences as well as under language and cultural borrowing. This language classification , is important in postulating the universality of Nigeria's peoples. The acceptance of this kind of argument must modify any contention that Nigeria's past breaks up into many "pasts," since the distinction between such "pasts" would then be a superficial and comparatively recent one. Any pluralisation of the "past" may well apply to all old or new states that are plural societies (Otite, 1975). ' Nigeria's three language families or sociocultural units evolved, over centuries of diverse historical experiences in different geographical regions, into the more recent and complex heterogeneity of nations and cultures. At some point in time, states, ) empires and complex societies, developed. As Hodgkin (1960) points out, a variety of links existed between the various states and people which were the predecessors of modern Nigeria: between Kanem-Bomu, the Hausa states, Nupe, the Jukun kingdom, the Emirates of Oyo and Benin, the Delta states and the loosely associated lbo communities. These relationship sometimes took the form of war and enslavement. But they expressed themselves also through diplomacy, the visits of wondering scholars, the diffusion of political and religious ideas, the borrowing of techniques and above all trade. Hodgkin also analysed the rise and expansion of states, foreign religious incursions, slave trade and European political and economic activities, following a chronological order of Annang From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Annang (also spelled Anaang) is a cultural and ethnic group that lives in the Coastal Southeast Nigeria (also known as Southeastern Nigeria or former Southeastern State of Nigeria).
