Item The Pan-African Nation: Oil and the Spectacle of Culture in Nigeria(The University of Chicago Press, 2008) Olaniyi, R.Item Nigerian Immigrants and Xenophobic Violence in South Africa(Department of History and Diplomatic Studies, 2009) Olaniyi, R.The author argues that in many parts of Africa identity-politics and "nativist" narratives link migration to crime by making mobility a contentious political issue. This study exemplifies this by examining the experiences and adaptation of Nigerian migrants in South Africa and the confrontation with xenophobic violence this frequently involves. In South Africa, stereotypic reproduction represents the past in the present within the context of nation- building and contradictions of "African Renaissance "Despite the leading roles Nigeria and South Africa are playing in African politics and business, the xenophobia against African immigrants undermines the prospect of regional and continental development.Item Review of The Nupe and the Origins and Evolution of the Yoruba(2008) Olaniyi, R.Item Review of Slavery by Another Name: The Re-Enslavement ofBlack Americans From the Civil War to World War II.(Kennesaw State University Press, 2008) Olaniyi, R.Item Hausa-Yoruba Relations 1500-1800: A Historical Perspective(Government College University Faisalabad, 2007) Olaniyi, R. O.From a revisionist perspective, this paper demonstrates that the history of Old Oyo empire and Hausa-city states were closely interwoven especially in commercial interaction, cultural exchange, the propagation of Islam and state building processes. The paper argues that the articles of trade suggest that beyond the movement of goods and peoples in both societies, an enormous degree of diplomacy and politics existed to facilitate the process of exchange. The relationship between Old Oyo and Hausa-city states was closely linked to the political economy of the states especially slave trade, export and import of horses, cowries and firearms. It is then argued that the relationship was more complex and mutually reinforcing. Contrary to widespread accounts, there is no material to show that the term Yoruba was originally used by the Hausa to describe the people of Oyo-ile. There is every possibility that the people of Oyo ile whose language was Yoruba described themselves as such. The first reference to the term Yoruba could be found in the work of the famous Songhay scholar, Ahmad Baba Al-Timbukti.Item Urban Violence in Kano, 1999-2001: The Yoruba Experience(Institute of African Studies,, 2006) Olaniyi, R. O.Item Child Labour and Nigeria’s Informal Economy since the 1990s(Humanities Publishers, 2005) Olaniyi, R.Item ‘Pay Back Time’: Ethno-religious Violence in Nigeria, 1999-2004.(The Ford Foundation, 2005) Olaniyi, R.Depuis le retour a un regime civil en 1999, la translocation du genocide reciproque sous forme de violence ethno-religieuse a ravage des communautes au Nigeria. Les hostilites et I’intolerance sont en augmentation, et les attaques de represailles se multiplient. Cette periode a connu /’agitation de la jeunesse, la resurgence de milices ethniques, religieuses et politiques, d’armees privees ainsi que de mercenaires recrutes dans les pays voisins usant d’armes sophistiquees pour un carnage massif. Entre 1999 et 2004, plus de 1000 affrontements communaux ont eu lieu faisant plus de 50 000 morts, et plus d’un million de citoyens interieurement deplaces, et des milliards de Nairas perdus par les victimes et par l’economic locale. Les points traditionnels de violence ont continue de faire I’objet de carnage regulier, tandis que des zones qui etaient jusque la relativement paisibles se sont transformees en champs de bataille, comme on I’a constate dans I’Etat du Plateau. Cet article soutient que la translocation de la violence ethno-religieuse a mis en lumiere la fragilite de la Nation nigeriane, la faiblesse du constitutionalisme tel qu’il se rapporte au principe de citoyennete et la militarisation accrue des identites ethno-religieuses. II conclut que la spirale de violence ethno-religieuse etait caracterisee par un debordement des conflits mais une telle violence avait des questions saillantes, notamment le contrdle des ressources, la dichotomie indigene/ colonisateur, un espace politique contracts, l’exclusion sociale et les reponses a la recession economique.Item No way out: the trafficking of women in Nigeria(2003) Olaniyi, R.
