GSP2201: Foundations of the Nigerian Culture, Government and Economy: 2
Credits
The University general policy statement written in 1976 for the N.U.C. sets out its
fundamental aims under five headings, of which two may be seen as particularly
relevant to a general studies course in the area of the foundation of Nigerian Culture. These aims which also define the objectives of this segment are:
* To encourage students to come to grips with some of the moral and societal issues of contemporary life.
* To assist students to understand and promote the cultural heritage of the Savannah, the Nigerian and the African tradition. Now, if culture can be defined as man’s capacity to understand and improve upon the reality of his circumstances, then it is co-extensive with life and the process of education.The dynamics of a culture engenders, in the lives of a people. Culture, in this sense, is a people’s way of being in the world; it is their way of making the world their own culture therefore is an expression of human nature and human reality is both material and spiritual. Human nature finds its creative fulfillment in the constructs which correspond to man’s material and spiritual cultures.In order to come to grips with the problems of the modern world, a student must be able to incorporate into his general education his own cultural heritage. The thought here is that by recapitulating his past and his cultural heritage he will become better adapted to life and more equipped to deal with the moral and societal issues of his contemporary life situations. The culture epoch and recapitulation, therefore, define the main objectives of this course.
The Theoretical Base: Definition & scope of culture various views:
i. An abstract term, undefined & unlimited in scope.
ii. Cultural Typology
a. Style: The individualized totality of mental and spiritual manifestations of a
community as in traditions, customs institutions, philosophies, laws, arts, language etc. Culture as an embodiment of all human institutions: politics
religion etc.
b. Pattern: The structure of meanings and the ethnic characteristics of a community. Cultural constructs: ideas, beliefs and symbolic representations.
c. Factors involved in cultural interaction and stratification; trade, politics, religion and language.
d. Cultural zones and regions: territorial or communal. Ethnic community as the basic human entity and the substratum of culture; defined by specific set of nature conditions i.e. extra cultural circumstances, e.g. geographical, historical, social, psychological and spiritual etc. what determines cultural zones and regions? Special emphasis on geographical and/or environmental factors. Culture as the expressive phenomena by which extra cultural factors are translated into cultural phenomena; man the creator of culture.
Nigeria: Land and people:
i. Cultural zones: the savannah region; history and traditions of the Hausa states, Sayfawa states of Kanan and Borno. People of the Benue, Gongola valley and the rest of the middle belt.
ii. The forest and coastal zones: the Yoruba and the Igbo speaking people; the Kalabari, the Igbo etc. Cultural constructs and traditions.
iii. Interaction between the cultural zones of Nigeria. The trading net-work, population movement and cultural diffusion. The growth of arts and crafts
in the Savannah and the forest regions in historical perspective; pottery and iron work, architecture and sculpture etc.
iv. Pre-colonial socio/political organizations: the Hausa states, Kanemi, Borno, the Jukun, tribal entities?
Major Cultural Influences in Nigeria:
(a) i. The penetration of Islam in Nigeria: Process of Islamization and concept
of Islamic ideology.
ii. Interaction between Islam and indigenous customs and traditions. the
Islamic concept of political state. Sokoto Caliphate: its goals and objectives
iii. Penetration of Christianity in Nigeria. Early missionary activities and growth of Churches
iv. Interaction between Christianity and local customs and traditions.
(b) i. The influence of foreign cultures on the Nigerian society. African personality: a cultural conception of personality. Personality as a:
(a) motivational structure,
(b) behavioral structure and
(c) situational structure. Attempts to retrieve the cultural identity. Islamic and Christian views.
ii. The impact of Westernization on indigenous norms. The transformation
of political cultures of the people of Nigeria.
Education and culture:
i. Interaction between culture and educational process: education and culture change.
ii. Education and social order: education and social change.
Culture and the Moral Order:
i. Traditional Nigerian norms of behaviour, more, folkways, customs, traditions and concepts of human relations.
ii. Islamic ethical and philosophical systems: law, political and social
Organizations.
iii. Islamic view of education and moral development.
iv. Christian concept of moral development
v. Moral education in Nigerian Schools: causes of delinquency, drug abuse
and deviancy.
Nigerian Government and Economy:
The following words aptly summarize the objectives of this segment of the General
Studies programme. An educated man was expected to have broad based knowledge of several fields of specialization. He was expected to deal with moral issues and value judgments confronting his society as well as those relating to his own economic pursuits and political behaviour. He was then expected to relate such knowledge and value determinations to his contemporary social situation.
Accordingly, the aim of this course is, first, to make students conscious of Nigeria
as political and economic entity; second, to identify the problems and prospects of
Nigerian government and economy, past as well as present, and, finally to acquaintt themwith the mechanics to safeguard and promote those values and ideals which
gave Nigeria its identity as a nation.

political integration: Issues of national integration and political participation.
(b) culture and society: A cultural theory of society; culture as a social process. Factors involved in social classification. Classification and integration as the complimentary processes of the inner dialectic of culture.
