    Title: End of Round One
    Path: african.pictures / Bailey's African History Archive / Drum Social Histories
    Description: DM2000012516:SAED:POLITICS:PERSONALITY:BOXING:SEP1957 - Treason: End of Round One - To keep fit, Nelson Mandela, solicitor, was at Jerry Moloi's boxing gym at Orlando every evening. He's shadow-sparring with Moloi (right) a professional featherweight. As the biggest case in South Africa's history lumbered to the end of its first stage this August 1957, the 156 accused men and women wondered how many of them would be back in court again. The 156 national leaders had first appeared at a preparatory examination into treason at the end of 1956, in the specially constructd court at the Drill Hall, Johannesburg; they had spent their lives in and out of court for most of 1957; and they could now see the possibility of the same prospect for the third calendar year, 1958, if they were committed for trial in the Supreme Court.

More than 40 people have been arrested following the Sunday stampede. And all over Van Coller. The entire township was non-torn on Sunday afternoon as young men went from house to house, street by street, chanting ÒVan Coller must go, we donÕt want him hereÓ. Several people ho didnÕt join the marchers were beaten up. Bela-Bela residents decided to dump all their permits at Municipal offices. Those who defied the strikers were assaulted on their return from work. Their homes were attacked. (Photograph by D

It was a very successful adventure in co-operation,Ó he said. In May 1962 a crisis flared in the Western Region. Then in stepped Dr Moses Majekodunmi, doctor and scientist. His job as administrator was to replace chaos with order. His chief weapons were a cool brain and courage. Since 1941, he has been a very well-known man. That he was appointed a senator some few years ago by the government of the federation did not in itself take the scientist from science to politics. It was subsequently announced that Dr Majekodunmi the senator, would also be Dr Majekodunmi, the federal minister of health. ( Photograph by Drum Photographer ©BAHA)

A few weeks before his death, Adekunle came home and noticed that I usually walked the two miles from my house to the church every morning. He was very disturbed about this and he told me to send his immediate brother, Sunday, to him when he finished his tour and he would send me a small second-hand car. Two weeks, later, I sent Sunday to him. When Sunday arrived in Ibadan the conference of obas and emirs was just beginning and Adekunle asked his brother to wait until the meeting was over.

NIGED:SOCIAL:CULTURE:RELIGION:JUN 1958 Ð Mr Drum Sums Up The Effects Of Christianity Ð A Sect Derived from Christianity: Members of the Cherubim and Seraphim sect in Lagos find religion a lot of fun. They say they have adapted Christianity to West African Life. It looked as if Christianity had come to stay, and in the ensuing years the church strove to stabilize its position in the social life of the people. ( Photograph by Drum Photographer ©BAHA)

She is so smartly dressed and looks so cool and fresh that we thought you might like to copy her elegant striped frock. Her name is Miss Pinnie Matlale. We think that loose panel with the big, useful pocket is a grand idea, and would look smart on any plain tailored dress. Top marks, Pinnie, for looking so stylish!

    Description: NIGED:POLITICS:PERSONALITIES:DEC 1967 Ð Why The War Broke Out? Ð AfricaÕs youngest head of state, Major-General Yakubu Gowon, is fighting hard to keep total Nigerian unity. Many people thought that Major-General Gowon, in view of the strained relations between the North and the Ibos, would seek to consolidate a northern hold on the rest of the country. Others secretly feared that the young general was out to launch himself on a political career. But by the creation of twelve states in the federation (even when it was known that many northern leaders were opposed to it), Major-General Yakubu Gowon has disabused the minds of people. His appointment of a federal executive council embracing, undiscredited civilians as well as inclusion of civilians in his war cabinet is enough evidence that Yakubu Gowon did not set out ambitiously to establish a military dictatorship.

    Description: NIGED:SOCIAL:CULTURE:SEP 1959 Ð The NorthÕs Great Durbar ÐThe horsemen Strut their stuff in splendid pomp and glory. From all parts of the North they came. The bold cavalry-men on their fiery steeds, their swords and spears glistening in the sun. The women from the Zaria Province, tall and erect in their colourful robes. The men dancer, bursting with smiles and vitality. Such a day had not been before, the day a durbar was held to celebrate self-government in the Northern Region of Nigeria. It was enormous, vast, diverse, majestic. Taking part were over 10 000 men and women, 3000 horses. Dancing and singing crowds came from all thirteen provinces of the Northern Region.

    Description: DRUM FEB 1965 Ð WHY HATE THE IBOS?. NIGED:POLITICS:PERSONALITIES:FEB 1965 Ð Why Hate The Ibos? Ð Nnamdi Azikiwe Ð A painful cry of a member of a persecuted group. ÒBesides the Jews, probably no other linguistic group has suffered so much persecution in history as the Ibo have been obliged to endure in Nigeria.Ó This statement was made by President Nnamdi Azikiwe in 1964. It brought into the open the truth of tribal discrimination in Nigeria. The anti-Ibo feeling that swept through the federation received its main kick from the publication of the 1963 census, its acceptance by the governments of Northern and Western Nigeria and its rejection by both the government and the Ibos of Eastern Nigeria. Minor issues such as the sharing of board appointments between the Eastern and Western members of the NCNC Ð have also gone into fanning its embers. (Photograph by Drum Photographer ©BAHA

He then focused on the Yoruba people in Western Nigeria which culminated in a new political force Ð the action Group. Obafemi Awolowo is the most powerful in Western Nigeria. He rose from a fatherless, almost helpless village boy to a leader of six million Western Nigerians. He is leader of the action group , now in power in Western Nigeria, and one of three Nigerian premiers to emerge from the haze and dust of West African politics after Kwame Nkrumah of the Gold Coast. He is author of The path to Nigerian freedom and an unwavering leader along his chosen path. ( Photograph by Drum Photographer ©BAHA)
