Abstract

This paper examines the invasion of Midwest state by the Biafran Secessionists Government in August 9, 1967. The occupation of the state by the rebels also came to focus. The consequence of the invasion and liberation of the state by the federal troops were demonstrated. Data for the study was obtained through oral interview as primary sources and the secondary sources like books, newspapers, articles, journals, theses, projects and dissertation were also used. It was found that August 9 on which the people of the Midwest celebrate the yearly anniversary of the creation of their state was the day rebel troops invaded the state. It was demonstrated that while the state was invaded by the rebels on August 9, 1967, September 20, 1967, the people regained freedom. It was also found that Ojukwu’s conquest and occupation of the Midwest was a miscalculated strategy to prolong the war and annex Southern Nigeria. In conclusion, the economy of the state was badly affected by the disruption of trade and movement of the population in search of safety.

Abstract

The paper examines Itsekiri Middlemen, the rise of Sapele and its negative effects on the Benin trade with the Europeans. It discusses the shifting of trade from Ughoton to the factories or warehouses nearer the sea by the Dutch. It assessed the factors behind Dutch’s action. It demonstrated the role played by Itsekiri in the British invasion of Benin in 1897. The data was obtained from primary and secondary sources. Oral interview constitutes the primary sources. Books, newspapers, articles, theses, dissertation etc were used as secondary sources. The study found that the shifting of trade from Ughoton to the factories nearer the sea affected Benin-European trade negatively. It was also found that the purpose of the Dutch shifting the trade to factories along the main Benin River was to reduce the control of Oba of Benin over the trade. It was demonstrated that the Itsekiri now possessed more power and they contributed to the British invasion of Benin in 1897. It concludes that the sudden rise of Sapele was due to the establishment of the vice-consulate of the Benin River in the town.
