Processing Juvenile Delinquents at the Salvation Army’s Boys’ Industrial Home in Lagos, 1925–1944
This chapter takes up Chris Jenks’s claims set out above about the ways in which institutions designed for children seek to “process the child as a uniform entity.” How were children processed, or not, in the institutions that were established to deal with juvenile delinquency? What did processing mean in the context of Nigeria in the colonial era? How might we extend or critique Jenks’s argument from the historical perspective of the Boys’ Indus…

Liquor Licences and Spirit Boycotts
Imported liquor was the most valuable single item of external trade in Nigeria from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century. Previously accustomed to mildly alcoholic indigenous beverages, the import of potent alcoholic drinks significantly and irrevocably altered Nigeria’s drinking scene. Imported liquor was an alien substance, and, as such, in the eyes of Nigerians, a desirable object to buy. Concerned to keep the lucrative revenue g…
Their Days are Spent in Gambling and Loafing, Pimping for Prostitutes, and Picking Pockets
In recent times, Lagos Island has been hit by a cyclical crescendo of juvenile crime perpetrated by “Area Boys,” jobless youths who deal in robbery, extortion, and blackmail. Such deviant behavior has historical roots back to colonial times, when youths labeled “ alkali boys,” “ boma boys,” and “ cowboys” roamed the heart of the capital of Britain’s colony of Nigeria between the 1920s and 1960s. Examining the various types of juvenile delinquents…
Those that are Cooking the Gins”
Southern Nigerians developed a habit for drinking potent distilled liquor during the 19th century. Such alcoholic beverages were manufactured in Europe and exported to the British colony of Nigeria. Nigerians did not know how to distil alcohol themselves. In the 1930s, however, the technology of alcohol distillation swept the colony, as Nigerians made drinks comparable to imported spirits: ogogoro. Ogogoro made serious headway against the long-st…

The Quality of Liquor in Nigeria During the Colonial Era
The Nigerian liquor trade provoked fierce debate: was it advancing development or fashioning an economy based on the unproductive consumption of alcohol? The liquor trade was caught between two prevailing colonial perspectives on African economic development: the Darwinian-based principle that Western civilisation had a duty to protect Africans from all bad external influences, and the civilise-through-trade concept seeking to modernise Africans …
We Think Prohibition Is a Farce
Lors de la Conference de Bruxelles en 1890 qui departagea l'Afrique entre plusieurs pays europeens colonisateurs, une mesure inclua l'interdiction de la vente d'alcool et de son importation dans le Nord du Nigeria. La raison invoquee etait la protection de la population de religion musulmane. Cet article analyse les faiblesses de la politique coloniale quant a cette derniere mesure. En presentant les principales sources historiques sur ce theme, …
Jaguda boys’
By examining the development of pickpocketing by juveniles ( jaguda in Yoruba) in the later colonial era, the paper provides important information on popular urban society in the most populous city in Nigeria and tropical Africa: Ibadan. Representations of the urban experience for a group of criminally-minded citizens are detailed through explorations of street-life, public order, citizenry and neighbourhood reactions. It contributes to the emerg…
