MY COMMUNITY
I come from Umunede, a conspicuous town in Ika Nation,Delta state,Nigeria with over a population of 22,611 (as at over 1991 Natuonal Population Census Figure). Umunede is no longer the traditional society it was one hundred years ago, when it was controlled and governed by ancestral spirits and cultural legends which underlined a mystical convertism in all espects of the community life. This is because between the past and the present is the phenomenon of change. The problem with change in any human community is that ot usually affects the identity and way of life of the people, not just human both animals and plants. And since development involves change, then we have a socio-cultural problem on our hands because the bewildering results induced by developmental transformations make development and constancy incompatible

KENYA'S ROAD TO INDEPENDENCE: THE MAU MAU MOVEMENT
Kenya's journey to independence from British colonial rule was marked by a complex interplay of political, social, and armed struggles. Central to this struggle was the Mau Mau movement, officially known as the Kenya Land and Freedom Army (KLFA). This movement, which emerged in the early 1950s, played a pivotal role in Kenya's path to self-determination. In this comprehensive exploration, we will delve into the historical background, the rise of the Mau Mau, the armed resistance, the declaration of emergency, negotiations and reforms, the formation of political parties, and the ultimate achievement of independence. The roots of Kenya's struggle for independence can be traced back to the late 19th century when Kenya became a British colony. Colonial rule was characterized by the imposition of British authority over the indigenous population and the exploitation of Kenya's resources for the benefit of the British Empire. The indigenous Kenyans faced a range of injustices, including land dispossession, economic exploitation, and political marginalization. The Mau Mau movement arose in the early 1950s as a direct response to the oppressive conditions faced by Kenyan peasants, especially the Kikuyu farmers who had lost their ancestral lands. This movement sought to reclaim land and achieve political independence. The Mau Mau drew its strength from a deep-seated desire for freedom and justice. The Mau Mau employed guerrilla tactics and operated primarily from the forests of Mount Kenya and the Aberdare ranges. Their methods included ambushes, raids on colonial outposts, and sabotage. The Mau Mau's armed struggle was a direct challenge to British colonial authority, and it aimed to disrupt the colonial administration. In response to the Mau Mau insurgency, the British colonial government initiated a brutal counterinsurgency campaign. This campaign involved widespread arrests, detention without trial, and the use of torture to extract information and suppress the movement. In 1952, the British colonial government declared a state of emergency in Kenya, a move that allowed for the deployment of additional British troops and the imposition of further repressive measures. The declaration of emergency marked a significant escalation in the conflict between the Mau Mau and the colonial authorities. As the Mau Mau insurgency persisted, the British began to recognize the need for political reforms in Kenya. The Lancaster House Conference, held in London in 1957, became a turning point in the struggle for independence. During this conference, political negotiations took place, leading to constitutional changes that allowed for increased African political representation. The conference paved the way for the formation of political parties that would play a crucial role in advocating for independence. Among these parties, the Kenya African National Union (KANU), led by Jomo Kenyatta, and the Kenya African Democratic Union (KADU) emerged as prominent forces in the struggle for self-rule. Throughout the 1950s, various political parties representing different ethnic groups and ideologies emerged in Kenya. These parties provided a platform for Kenyan leaders to articulate their demands for independence and to mobilize support. The most notable of these parties was KANU, led by Jomo Kenyatta, who would later become Kenya's first President. KANU advocated for a united, independent Kenya. KADU, on the other hand, championed a federal system of government and represented the interests of some ethnic communities that were concerned about potential dominance by the Kikuyu, the largest ethnic group in Kenya. In 1960, the state of emergency was finally lifted, signaling a shift in British colonial policy. The political negotiations continued, and the momentum toward self-government and independence grew stronger. Jomo Kenyatta, a key figure in the Kenyan political landscape, was released from detention in 1961 and assumed a central role in the independence movement. On December 12, 1963, Kenya achieved internal self-government, with Jomo Kenyatta as its Prime Minister. This marked a significant milestone on the path to full independence. Finally, on December 12, 1963, Kenya gained full independence from British colonial rule. Jomo Kenyatta became Kenya's first President, and the country embarked on a new chapter in its history as a sovereign nation. Kenya's struggle for independence through the Mau Mau movement was a multifaceted journey marked by determination, resilience, and sacrifice. The Mau Mau uprising served as a catalyst, drawing international attention to the injustices of colonialism and ultimately contributing to the end of British colonial rule in Kenya. However, it's essential to acknowledge that the path to independence also involved political negotiations, the emergence of political parties, and the leadership of figures like Jomo Kenyatta. Kenya's independence represented a triumph of the Kenyan people's aspirations for self-determination and freedom.
