A woman who just refuses to be bogged down by age is Mrs. Geraldine M. Spooner. At 83 she is one of the oldest Ð and liveliest Ð people in Phokeng, Rustenburg. And Rustenburg Ð the place of rest Ð is only about 104 old! She came to South Africa in 1915 with her late husband, the late Reverend Kenneth Egerton Spooner, to do missionary work among the Bafokeng. They first started off with a grass-thatched roof for a church and six years later they added a school next to it. (Photograph by Drum Photographer ©Baileys Archives) NegT633

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)

Description: DRUM NOV 1958 Ð THE STRENGTH AND INFLUENCE OF ISLAM ON WEST AFRICA. NIGED:SOCIAL:CULTURE:RELIGION:NOV 1958 Ð The Strength And Influence Of Islam On West Africa Ð The Central Mosque, Lagos. The rich, the poor, the retired and the unemployed: they are all to be found in the mosques. The floors of the mosques are lined with carpets, some ornate, some threadbare. Worshippers shed their shoes before entering. It is difficult to be precise about the number of Muslims in West Africa, since in most territories religious statistics are not recorded in the census. The vast majority of the population of Northern Nigeria is Muslim, though some pagan tribes have survived, especially in the Middle Belt. In the predominantly Yoruba Western Region of Nigeria, conversion to Islam is taking place rapidly, and it is estimated that in some of the big towns, like Ibadan, between 50 and 60 per cent of the population is already Muslim.( Photograph by Drum Photographer ©BAHA)

To most Nigerians, Alhaji Sir Ahmadu Bello, the Sardauna of Sokoto and premier of the North, is more a legend than a man. But man he is. A truly remarkable man who disdains wealth, who rules the giant North yet owns only ten acres of land, who works and prays for his people with such inspired energy that he sleeps only in snatches, whose exemplary life has shamed the corrupt.( Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)

His party faces the election as the most powerful and most masterful political group in Nigeria. The emergence of the NPC as the most masterful and powerful political party in the federation has been greatly helped by its opponent parties. The NCNC has been working the federal government in coalition with the NPC during the past few years and has been determined to do nothing that could be interpreted by its partner as an unfriendly act. It has progressively been submerging its image under, and selling many important ideological passes to, the NPC. (Photograph by Drum Photographer ©BAHA)

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
