Thomas Holyoake, of Alexandra, reads order which reclassified him as a coloured. The Holyoake Children even attend a school for Coloureds exclusively. His wife looks on. From the end of last year the coloureds have been harassed by the need for the reclassification of their racial status in terms of the population Registration Act of 1950. To be reclassified as an African could, everybody understood only too well, mean a whole new train of daily embarrassments and disabilities, but hundreds of Coloureds went over to the Native Affairs Department and there cam up grim stories of comb and pencil tests, nose and ear inspections and of people being summarily classified as African. It seemed that the whole process was pretty cursory and foregone. Of course, most of those grim stories were strenuously denied by the Governme

The chances of such small parties like the Dynamic Party, the Northern Elements Progressive Union and the United Middle Belt Congress are difficult to gauge. None of these parties (although the same may not be said of some of their leaders), has been able to establish a public image that can command the attention of the voters.

Pa Isaiah Fajuyi added his testimony: ÒAs you know, I am nearly 95 years old and I never like to miss my attendance at the church. 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. That boy was there when he was killed. I never got the car. I never saw him again.Ó (Photograph by Drum Photographer ©BAHA)

Present day demand is for the democracy of the secret ballot. The people want to have more say about how they are governed. This doesnÕt mean that the emirs no longer have important functions. The emirs should adapt their institution to fit the new order.

First launched his bombshell calling for the resignation of Zik at a meeting of the NCNC national executive. Then he stormed the country. He once called Zik the tallest tree in Nigeria. He loved playing with words: reasoned ones, abuse. As long as they were words. And he drew deep from his store of invective when he decided the tallest tree was getting a bit too big for its roots. In the middle of last year, in the City College building in Lagos, Dr Kingsley Ozuomba Mbadiwe, at the head of more than twenty other men, surprised the national executive committee of his party, the National Council of Nigeria and the Cameroons. He caused to be read a letter demanding the resignation of Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe as president of the NCNC and premier of Eastern Nigeria. ( Photograph by Drum Photographer �BAHA)

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)
