**Civil War (1967 - 1970):**
The Nigerian Civil War, also known as the Biafran War, was a devastating conflict that erupted in 1967 when the southeastern region declared independence as the Republic of Biafra. The war was fueled by ethnic and regional tensions, particularly among the Igbo, Yoruba, and Hausa-Fulani groups. The federal government, determined to maintain national unity, launched a military campaign to reclaim the secessionist territory. The war resulted in widespread suffering, including famine and displacement, with an estimated one to three million people losing their lives. The conflict ended in 1970 with Biafra's reintegration into Nigeria, but its legacy of division and trauma persisted

The Emergence of a Great Nation Called Nigeria | Episode 5
Colonial Era **British Colonization (1861 - 1960):** British involvement in Nigeria began in earnest in the mid-19th century, culminating in the annexation of Lagos in 1861. Over the following decades, the British extended their control through treaties, military conquest, and diplomacy, consolidating territories into the Colony and Protectorate of Nigeria by 1914. British rule imposed new administrative structures, economic policies, and educational systems, significantly altering Nigerian society. The colonial economy was geared towards the extraction and export of resources such as palm oil, cocoa, and groundnuts. Despite economic exploitation and social disruption, British rule also introduced modern infrastructure and institutions, setting the stage for Nigeria's future development.

Flags flew freely in the summer breeze. They consisted of a gray and white human brain against a black background. Scales of gold sat just overtop the image of the organ. The sun rose at just the zenith and shared its light and warmth with the attendees to one of the country-states’ greatest accomplishments: the graduation of two women who had been in a halfway house and found their passions for art design and communications. Mala and Sheltham looked on with sunglasses and cheered the graduates. With the knowledge they had months to go before being up on that stage, they looked at each other and grinned. After the ceremony, they walked into a pizza restaurant that fit their budgets.

In one corner, a team brainstorms imaginative social media campaigns (social media marketing), while others across the room employ website optimization techniques (SEO) to make information dance. This, my friends, is the universe of digital marketing: a diverse team collaborating to promote businesses and products throughout the expansive online landscape.
