Abstract
Thurstan Shaw and Steve Daniels, who are the founder for archaeological research proved in their research that Nigeria has been developed since 9,000 BC. At that time, people were living particularly in the low-Eleer region and even earlier that that, in the southeastern region of Nigeria known as Ugwelle-Utruru (Okigwe). Ugwelle-Utruru was the place micro lathes were used. The oldest metal work in archaeology is primarily due to the presence of Smelting furnaces which have been present in Taruga since 4th century BC. The fossil skeleton is an example of Negroid which is almost 10,000 years old and is one of the oldest examples of archaeology. This fossil was found in western Nigeria by Lii Lleru, who proved it to be the territory of ancient times in the region. Ceramic industries have pursued by Nigeria's ensuing agricultural communities. Also microlithic has been developed by savanna pastoralists since the forth millennium of BC.
In the first millennium BC; hunting and social gatherings encouraged survival farming and the cultivation of staple foods in the south (Chaudhary, 2001). The import of stone head axe from the northern Nigeria produced more opportunity for the people in the southern part to expand agriculture. In the 2nd century BC Kainji Dam dig introduced iron working. However, looking at the progression from the Neolithic period to when iron was introduced; middle sculpture manufacturing was still lacking. Researchers have proposed that technology has been inspired from the west of Nigeria to the valley of Nile. It is true that the metallurgy was introduced in the river and wooded areas of Nigeria and it have been present in the upper savanna by more than 800 years ago.
Nigerian History
The Nigeria is the most populated country in Africa. Its population is tremendously miscellaneous with well over 250 ethnic groups. Most of its population is in the concerted southern part of the country as well as in the area of opaque defrayal around Kano in the north. Throughout the 19th century, the elimination of the slave trade increased the growth of trade in agricultural produce from Africa to Europe, particularly palm oil from the West African coastal areas. The coastal commune of Lagos became a British colony in 1861, a center for extension 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 played important roles in the development of Pan-Africans as well as Nigerian jingoism. Nigeria came under the colonial rule of the British in the second half of the 19th century and the first decade of the 20th century. The United Kingdom subjugated the land of present-day Nigeria, except for the division of former German-controlled Kamerun in numerous phases.
The British dependency of Northern and Southern Nigeria were fused into a single region in 1914, and a lawmaking council, originally with limited African manifestation was created in 1922. Conflicting demands for sovereignty and innermost government by the diverse political groupings obliged the British in 1954 to establish a review of conciliation to put up incompatible demands. The federal government coincided this deal the with sizeable district autonomy. Between the 1960 and 1966, Nigeria was under the civilian rule. The major problems faced by the federal government within the era were threats to federal harmony verified by ethnic enmity and the yearning for autonomy within the federal scheme. This ushered to the configuration of miscellaneous political acts and political coalition. The development of jingoism in the social...

K. And the U.S. can both learn from these emerging nations and their dedication to improving the lives of their children. Brazil, for example, leads the E-9 countries in per-capita expenditures for young children (Levin 2005, p. 198). China has committed to the universalization of preschool education (children ages 3-6) in urban areas by 2015, to increasing enrollment in one-year programs in rural areas, and increasing overall enrollment in preschool education.
Cultural Perceptions of Time in Africa Time is a foundational factor in every culture. The perception of time is different for most cultures and the determining factor to those differences is often based on the means of production. "Most cultures have some concept of time, although the way they deal with time may differ fundamentally." (Kokole 1994, 35) Tracing the perception of the concept of time in Africa can be seen
