No Fiancé, No Baptism
In 1953, officials of the Roman Catholic Mission (RCM) Church in Benin City, Nigeria, requested schoolgirls of Benin-Edo ethnic origin at the local Convent Primary School preparing for baptism to bring their fiancés to school as a condition for baptism. The demand for the presentation of their fiancé was the first time such a condition for baptism was given to young teenage girls since the establishment of the RCM in Benin City in 1923. The condi…
The 1951-52 Benin City Catholic Church Crisis
This paper draws attention to the neglected episode of a crisis that engulfed the Benin City Roman Catholic Station from 1951 to 1952. It examines how a disagreement between an Irish priest and an African catechist degenerated into a crisis that pitted the majority of the African laity against the Irish clergy. This crisis was not only reported in national newspapers and taken up by nationalist agitators, but also attracted the concern of Roman C…
African Colonial Urban Experience
The urban experience of Africans during colonial rule derived only partly from colonization. Old patterns of urbanization were not displaced but they continued to contest, resist, appropriate, and localize colonial ideas. Colonial urbanization was predicated upon the tripartite objectives of achieving financial self-sufficiency of colonies, ensuring the good health and well-being of European populations, and securing the unstated rule (except und…
Minority Rights and the National Question in Nigeria
Development and education in British colonial Nigeria, 1940–55
A major area of conflict between the colonial administration in Nigeria and colonized Africans on the one hand and missionaries on the other hand was education. Though the Christian missionaries and the administration found a common ground in the adaptation policy of 1924, it was at the expense of Africans who sought better quality education for their communities. The introduction of new development policies, starting with the 1929 Colonial Devel…

In African societies, their role varies and includes religious, moral, and judicial roles in addition to social entertainment. They are known to be ubiquitous and more widespread…
The Owner of the Land
Colonial forest reservation in the Benin Division of southern Nigeria was remarkably extensive, with reserves taking up almost 65 per cent of the Division by 1937. This paper explores both the various strategies employed by the colonial government in order to bring about large scale reservation and the role of reservation in changing land politics. In doing so, it provides nuanced insights into the interaction between the colonial government and …
A Comparison of Jacob Egharevba's Ekhere Vb Itan Edo and the Four Editions of Its English Translation, A Short History Of Benin
One of the most popular and most widely cited books in the study of precolonial Africa, particularly of the forest region, is Jacob U. Egharevba's A Short History of Benin . It was first published in the Edo language as Ekhere vb Itan Edo in 1933, and due to its popularity and very high demand, it quickly sold out and was reprinted in 1934. It was then translated by the author and published in English as A Short History of Benin in 1936. This Eng…
The Scholarship of Jacob Egharevba of Benin
Uwadiae Jacob Egharevba was born in 1893 to a descendant of Ohenmwen, the Iyase of Benin Kingdom during the reign of Osemwende, ca . 1816 to ca . 1848, and Okunzuwa, a granddaughter of an Ibadan chief. Jacob's parents were long-distance traders, and he claimed to have traveled with them in the Benin and Yoruba regions until his father's death in 1902. The brief sojourn in the Yoruba country afforded him the opportunity of attending school for a y…
