Abstract:
One of the oldest traditional crafts that provided employment for a significant proportion of the Nigerian population and practised specially by the Oyo Yoruba, is dressmaking by hand. The introduction of colonial rule and sewing machine in the region in early nineteenth century, not only revolutionised the art of dressmaking, but it also created a new and non-traditional craft: tailoring--the art of making clothes with the aid of a sewing machine. Over the years, dressmaking by hand has given way to tailoring, and tailoring has gradually become a dominant industry in the field of informal sec

Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Although Nigerian church leaders have made important contributions to Nigerian society through education, the health services and other forms of social service, they have, nevertheless, had a minimal impact on the political and economic sectors which are the major sources of policy formation, infrastructure development, job creation, industrialisation, poverty reduction and the control of environmental hazards. Accordingly, this study, within the ambit of theology and community development, seeks to understand how, through devel

Abstract:
The thesis focuses on the phenomenon of Boko Haram in Nigeria, attempting to give an understanding of the group based on the academical analysis that has been elaborated through time. A contextualisation of the movement’s evolution introduces two cases of study, currently under scholars’ scrutiny: the birth of the splinter-cell Ansaru and the Chibok kidnapping. The work is integrated by on-going debates among scholars and the most recently published contributions to the research.

Abstract:
This study looks at the economic, political and social history of women in the Yoruba area of south-western Nigeria in the 19th century using contemporary sources which have remained previously largely untapped for historical studies of women. The century encompassed many key historical developments which affected women; in particular, the decline of the Atlantic slave trade and the growth of an export trade in locally produced palm oil and kernels. Whereas the slave trade had been dominated by men, the processing, transport and trade of palm produce was dominated by women. The extent, nature

Abstract:
The resource curse literature, which links natural resource abundance with negative political and economic outcomes, is largely based on large-N cross-national studies. This thesis examines the effects of oil production on women’s political participation at the sub-national level, comparing the 36 states in the Nigerian federation, of which some are oil-producing. Shedding new light on the negative effects of oil production at the local and community level, and exploring the gender-related dimensions of the resource curse, I argue that the effect of oil varies across different forms of politic

Abstract:
This thesis studies print culture in colonial Lagos against the background of the public sphere, and brings together a variety of English-language and Yoruba-language newspapers. Such an approach allows for highlighting the practicalities of newspaper production and foregrounding the work accomplished by newspapermen in a changing 'information environment' and political context. It offers insights into Lagos politics, contributes to the history of the educated elite, and to more global histories of communication. Using newspapers as well as archival records, and focussing on events that striki
