dc.description.abstractIn order to fully understand the colonial epoch, it is crucial to think in terms of the economic partition of Africa, which had no fixed or visible boundaries unlike the political partition of the 19th Century. It should be made known that Colonialism was just one aspect of Imperialism. Colonialism was based on alien political rule and was restricted to some parts of the world, whereas imperialism underlay all colonies, extended over the world except where replaced by socialist revolutions, and it allowed the participation of all capitalist nations. Economic partition and re-partition of Africa was going on all the time because the proportions of the spoils that went to the different capitalist countries kept changing. Surplus from Africa was partly used to offer a few more benefits to European workers and served as a bribe in form of wages, better living standard, etcetera, to make the latter less revolutionary. Essentially, vital aspects of how indigenous Igbomina economic resources, and indeed Africa as a continent were siphoned to the benefit of the metropolitan states and to the grave detriment of the colonies compelled me to embark on this academic odyssey. Furthermore, the sum total of Igbomina experience under colonialism, and the footprints left by colonialism in the sand of time, form the prop of this exposé.en_US
