THE CAPITALIST NIGER Chika Onyeani ………………………Every African must internalise this book - period….DAA INTRODUCTION In October 1960, Nigeria received its independence from Britain. By then, Ghana the former Gold Coast had been independent for three years under the great Osagyefo Kwame Nkumah. It was a time for celebrating Africa’s coming of age, as more and more African countries received their independence either from Britain or France. It was especially a poignant time for Africa, as then British Prime Minister Harold McMillan articulated his now famous “winds of change” sweeping Africa. We had high hopes for Africa, for the Black race, that the insidious imposition of foreign rule on us, the looting of Africa’s natural resources by our colonial masters accorded us would be things of history. That is more than forty years ago. Unfortunately, the promise of independence has not been fulfilled. Today, Africa has become more desolate; th...

Although the Boers were defeated, the British gave limited independence to South Africa in 1910 as a British dominion. South Africa contains some of the oldest archaeological sites in the world. Flag I flag After the Anglo-Boer War the English people desided to make British Union Flag a national flag of South Africa II flag The second flag was designed in 31 May 1928, becau...

Zoos are sometimes seen as necessary alternatives to a natural environment. Not only people are trying to keep endangered species and rare animals in the nature reserves, but also the number of zoos built around the world is slowly growing. Do we actually need those kind of man-made "homes" for animals or is it better for them to live outside cement walls in their natural habitat? First of all, nowadays we need to help the nature and animals that are the ones facing quite big danger of becoming extinct. Mostly it is caused by our selfish attitude: we do not take care of nature. Zoo is one of the solutions to help to preserve nature and to protect it from poachers. For example Loxodonta africana is an African elephant who has been hunt down and whose population was significantly reduced in 20th century.The population in the Tanzanian Selous Game Reserve, once the largest of any reserve in the world, dropped from 109 000 in ...

Equality Equality is a very important subject in todays world. Even though people of all races, social statuses and of both sexes have more equal rights in just about everything today, than they have had throughout history, there are still many places in the world and lots of topics, where equality is still a big problem. The point of equality, is for everyone to have the same opportunities. In a society with perfect equality, everyone would be able to do what they want, no matter where they are from, how wealthy their parents are, what color their skin is and so on. A persons gender or skin color wouldn't matter, if he or she would apply for a job or candidate for a political position. The same goes for voting rights and the laws would also be the same for everyone. A good example of how modern countries have more equality among their citizens is the United States of America. Just 56 years ...

KEENIA Hiljutine ajalugu Tänapäeva Keenia riik, nagu paljud teised Aafrika riigid, kasvas välja 19. Ja 20. Sajandi Euroopa kolonialismist. Berliini konverentsil, aastal 1885, jaotas vägev Euroopa Ida-Aafrika ,,mõjusfääriks". Aastal 1895, rajas Briti valistsus Ida-Aafrika Protektoraadi ja avas Kenya viljaka mägismaa valgetele asunikele. Suurbritannia tegi Keeniast ametliku Briti koloonia 1920. Aastal, aga ei lubanud aafriklastel osaleda nende oma valitsuses kuni 1944. Aastani. Kohalik ärevus iseseisvuse üle jätkus Keenias ka Teise maailmasõa ajal. Riigile anti iseeisvus Suurbritannia poolt 12. Detsembril, 1963. Seda päeva tähistatakse igal aastal riigipühana. Võrreldes teiste endiste Euroopa kolooniatega Aafrikas, oli Keenia üleminek sõltumatusele oli tähelepanuväärselt korrektne ja rassilisest riiust vaba, tänu osaliselt valitsuse tundlikusele poliitilistele õigustele ja vabadustele.

The most unusual pets Elephant They live in Africa. Her/his body color is gray. Elephant ears have thick bases with thin tips. Elephants usually have 26 theeth. An elephant’s skin is generally very tough. In walking, the legs act as pendulums, with the hips shoulders rising and falling while the foot is planted on the ground.Fast- moving elephants appear to ’run’ with their front legs, but ’walk’ with their hind legs and can reach a top speed of 18 km/h (11mph). Elephants eat massive amounts of food — in the case of the African elephant, as much as 660 pounds¹ in a single day. They communicate by touch, sight, and sound; elephants use infrasound, and seismic communication over long distances. I choosed that animal becose I love this animal and it's so big and strong.

Endangered species The Giant Panda lives in central-western and southwesterns China. Although the panda is a carnivore, he has a diet which is 99% bamboo. Like most subtropical mammals, but unlike most bears, the giant panda does not hibernate. The Giant Panda is endangered as there are only 2,000-3,000 of them living in the wild and about 270 living in captivity. They have become endangered due to the destruction of their habitat and the variety of bamboo that is decreasing. They are also illegally hunted for their fur. To protect them, there have been many special wildlife parks set up. Elephants live in Central Africa and are the largest land animals alive today. They eat grass, twigs and some fruit.

Tourism is one of the most developing kind of services in the world. However, it brings us not only benefits, but also dangers. I would like to discuss the problem in the following composition. Tourism can be very profitable. Especially when the country or an area is attractive and good weather is guaranteed. The most popular places to which people come are mountains, sea or lakes. The advantage of tourism is the mutual cooperation of the tourists and people who are working in this branch. These first can spend their time relaxing themselves. These second earn money. It's said that travel broadens the mind. I think it's true because we can meet another people and visit various places all over the world. We can find out more about foreign cultures and traditions or languages. In this sense traveling can be an instructive experience. On the other hand, tourism can be really destructive for the envir...
