Decolonisation of Africa

By -
The decolonisation of Africa was a series of political developments in Africa that spanned from the mid-1950s to 1975, during the Cold War.

Major events in the decolonisation of Africa included the Mau Mau rebellion, the Algerian War, the Congo Crisis, the Angolan War of Independence, the Zanzibar Revolution, and the events leading to the Nigerian Civil War.[1][2][3][4][5] Scramble for Africa: Africa in the years 1880 and 1913, just before the First World War The Scramble for Africa between 1870 and 1914 was a significant period of European imperialism in Africa that ended with almost all of Africa, and its natural resources, claimed as colonies by European powers, who raced to secure as much land as possible while avoiding conflict amongst themselves.

Motivation: Concept and Significance of Motivation By Iamshalomshalom

By -
Motivation: Concept and Significance/Importance of Motivation! Concept of Motivation: The term motivation is derived from the word ‘motive”. The word ‘motive’ as a noun means an objective, as a verb this word means moving into action. Therefore, motives are forces which induce people to act in a way, so as to ensure the fulfillment of a particular human need at a time. Behind every human action there is a motive. Therefore, management must provide motives to people to make them work for the organization. Motivation may be defined as a planned managerial process, which stimulates people to work to the best of their capabilities, by providing them with motives, which are based on their unfulfilled needs. “Motivation means a process of stimulating people to action to accomplish desired goods.” —William G.

South Africa closes embassy in Nigeria after xenophobic violence

By -
South Africa has temporarily closed its diplomatic missions in Nigeria following reprisal attacks by Nigerians triggered by xenophobic violence in South Africa. Between Sunday and Wednesday, mobs looted and destroyed shops, many of them foreign-owned, in South Africa's commercial hub, Johannesburg. Nigeria's government has been outspoken in its condemnation of the violence. Police say the unrest has subsided and more than 420 arrests have been made. South Africa's Foreign Minister, Naledi Pandor, called the violence an embarrassment for her country.

CULTURE NAME IN REAL WORLD SETTINGS

By -
Countries and Their Cultures Countries and Their Cultures Ma-Ni Culture of Nigeria Nigeria Culture Name Nigerian Orientation Identification. Though there is archaeological evidence that societies have been living in Nigeria for more than twenty-five hundred years, the borders of modern Nigeria were not created until the British consolidated their colonial power over the area in 1914. The name Nigeria was suggested by British journalist Flora Shaw in the 1890s. She referred to the area as Nigeria, after the Niger River, which dominates much of the country's landscape. The word niger is Latin for black. More than 250 ethnic tribes call present-day Nigeria home. The three largest and most dominant ethnic groups are the Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo (pronounced ee-bo). Other smaller groups include the Fulani, Ijaw, Kanuri, Ibibio, Tiv, and Edo. Prior to their conquest by Europeans, these ethnic groups had separate and independent histories. Their grouping together into a s...

Video Suggests Nigerian Military Engaged In Pogrom In Zaria Read more: http://newsrescue.com/video-suggests-nigerian-military-engaged-in-pogrom-in-zaria/#ixzz3wT11DVj4

By -
Gathering shuddersome evidence is increasingly painting a picture of a deliberate pogrom at involved centers in the December military massacre in Nigeria’s Zaria. The 1000+ massacre has been described as the worst single-event atrocious event in Nigeria and perhaps the world since 911, second only to the Baga 2500 Boko Haram genocide of January the same 2015. A video released by the “academic unit” of the Islamic movement has hard-to-watch footage of the army patiently surrounding the Husainiyyah Baqiyatullah Islamic center’s entire perimeter. In the 22 minute video, soldiers who are not taking fire are seen being carefully positioned in combat formation every 3 meters along the entire hundreds of meters perimetry. This arrangement is to ensure that “no one leaves alive.” The hundreds of deployed soldiers are all put to lie down and point their barrels at the Islamic center. What could prompt such battle-mode arrangement ahead of the pogrom is left to be imagined. Even when Jesu...
