Nigeria History & Pre-Colonial Era

NIGERIA THE GIANT OF AFRICA

After the abolition of the slave trade, there was an expansion of trade in agricultural produce from Africa to Europe, particularly palm oil from the West African coastal areas. The coastal enclave of Lagos became a British colony in 1861, a center for expansion of British trade, missions, and political influence. Late 19th century and early 20th century Lagos was also a center for educated West African elites who were to play prominent roles in the development of Pan-Africanism as well as Nigerian nationalism.
By the end of the 19th century, Britain began an aggressive military expansion in the region. A protectorate was declared over northern Nigeria in 1900.
Despite the loss of sovereignty, the strong political and cultural traditions of these societies initially enabled many to accommodate nominal British rule with little change in their way of life.
Nigeria came under the colonial rule of the British (United Kingdom) during the second half of the 19th century and the first decade of the 20th century. The United Kingdom conquered the territory of present-day Nigeria, except for the section of former German-controlled Kamerun in several stages.

The British dependencies of Northern and Southern Nigeria were merged into a single territory in 1914, and a legislative council, initially with limited African representation was created in 1922.
Traditional native rulers, however, administered various territories under the supervision of the colonial authorities. In 1947, a federal system of government was established under a new Nigerian constitution introduced by the United Kingdom.
This system was based on three regions: Eastern, Western and Northern. The idea was to reconcile the regional and religious tensions as well as accommodating the interest of diverse ethnic groups: mainly the Ibo (in the east), the Yoruba (in the west) and the Hausa and Fulani (in the north).
Nigeria was granted full independence in October 1960, as a federation of three regions (northern, western, and eastern) under a constitution that provided for a parliamentary form of government.
Under the constitution, each of the three regions retained a substantial measure of self-government.

IMPORTANCE AND ADVANTAGES OF SIWES

STUDENTS INDUSTRIAL WORK EXPERIENCE SCHEME (SIWES) The Industrial Training/Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme, IT/SIWES is a new Directorate under the Vice-Chancellor’s Office.  It was established on 20th April, 2012 The Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) is a skills training programme designed to expose and prepare students of universities and other tertiary institutions for the Industrial Work situation they are likely to meet after graduation.  It is also a planned and structured programme based on stated and specific career objectives which are geared towards developing the occupational competencies of participants (Mafe, 2009).  Consequently, the SIWES programme is a compulsory graduation requirement for all Nigerian university students offering certain courses. The Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES), is the accepted training programme, which

How to Reset HP Elitebook 8460p BIOS/Administrator Password

Have you  forgotten HP Elitebook 8460p password , bios or administrator account password? How to do if both of them lost? It seems hard though there may be lots of ways that can solve it. But if we talk about it separately, such as in two parts,  HP elitebook password reset  would be not so difficult. Part 1: Reset HP Elitebook 8460p BIOS password Part 2: HP Elitebook 8460p Administrator password recovery Part 1: How to Reset Forgotten HP Elitebook BIOS Password? Generally, there are two ways to  reset forgotten BIOS password .  One  is forcing BIOS/CMOS to reset itself to its stored defaults by removing all power from it.  The other  is to use a program to either locate or identify the password, and reveal it to you or erasing the password clearly. And the most easiest and convenient method for erasing dynamic BIOS/CMOS settings is to remove battery directly from the motherboard. However, it applies to most motherboards besides HP Elitebook BIOS. Fortunately, HP Eliteb

Ethical Hacking - TCP/IP Hijacking

TCP/IP Hijacking is when an authorized user gains access to a genuine network connection of another user. It is done in order to bypass the password authentication which is normally the start of a session. In theory, a TCP/IP connection is established as shown below − To hijack this connection, there are two possibilities − Find the seq which is a number that increases by 1, but there is no chance to predict it. The second possibility is to use the Man-in-the-Middle attack which, in simple words, is a type of network sniffing . For sniffing, we use tools like Wireshark or Ethercap . Example An attacker monitors the data transmission over a network and discovers the IP’s of two devices that participate in a connection. When the hacker discovers the IP of one of the users, he can put down the connection of the other user by DoS attack and then resume communication by spoofing the IP of the disconnected user. Shijack In practice, one of the best TCP/IP hijack too
