THE COAT OF ARMS
This coat of arms is an emblem which shows the unity of the country and stands for authority and
power. It is also called the armorial bearing. There are certain things drawn on the coat of Arms
which are commonly known to be in Nigeria. The black shield represents the good soil of Nigeria. The
Eagle represents the strength of Nigeria. The horses represent the dignity and pride of Nigeria. The Y
shape on the shield represents the Rivers Niger and Benue which flow through the parts of Nigeria.

found in most parts of Nigeria. They are common and found at roadsides and in the coat of Arms
stands for Nigerian motto – the way Nigerians are expected to act or believe
Nigeria coat of arms -The official Seal of the nation
THE NATIONAL FLAGS
The Nigeria National flag was design by a Nigerian, whose name is Taiwo Akinkunmi in 1959. The
National flag was unfolded for the first use on midnight of 30 th September 1960 shortly before
Nigeria’s independence on 1st October 1960. The National flag has two colours divided into three
parts green-white-green. The green colour stands for farmlands and forests, on which the wealth of
the nation depends, and in which most Nigerians are employed; the white colour stands for peace
and unity which are important in the growth of the Nation and its peace.
3
The flag is hoisted on important public buildings or private establishment to fly freely as Nigeria’s
symbol of Nationhood. Before our independence, the official flag was that of the British flag known as
Union jack.
The National Flag.
THE NATIONAL ANTHEM
Since independence, Nigeria has adopted two National anthems. The first one was adopted on 1 st
October 1960 and it reads.
Nigeria we hail thee;
Our own dear Native land;
Though tribes and tongues may differ;
In brotherhood we stand;
Nigerians are proud to serve; Our Sovereign Mother land.
This old anthem was faulted on three main reasons.
I. It was composed by a Non-Nigeria.
II. It emphasized our different culture and traits rather than experiences.
4
III. The spirit of patriotism, faith and loyalty was not sufficiently recognized. The old Anthem was
composed by Miss I. J. Williams, a Briton and rendered in song form by Miss Flora Benda who
was also a Briton. The new Anthem composed by a Nigerian Mr. Benedict Elise Odiase took
care of all the anomalies of the old anthem and it reads.
THE NATIONAL ANTHEM:

1. Arise O compatriots;
Nigerians call obeys;
To serve our fatherland;
With love and strength and Faith;
The labours of our heroes pasts;
Shall never be in vain;
To serve with heart and might;
One Nation bound in freedom;
Peace and unity.
2nd stanza
2. Oh God of creation;
Direct our Noble cause;
Guide thou our leader’s right;
Help our youths the truth to know;
In love and honesty to grow;
And living just and true;
Great lofty height attain
To build a Nation where peace;
And justice shall reign.
PLEDGE
The pledge was adopted after the end of Nigerian 30 months of bitter civil war which started in 1967
and ended in 1970. The national pledge was written by Prof. Mrs. Felicia Adebola Adeyoyin in
September, 1976.
THE NATIONAL PLEDGE:

I pledge to Nigeria my country,
To be faithful, loyal and honest,
To serve Nigeria with all my strength,
To defend her unity,
And uphold her honour and glory,
5
So help me God.

Nigeria, The Naira and Kobo is our official medium of exchange. Some are in coin form while others
are in note form. The naira and kobo are in various denominations of 10k, 25k, 50k, #1, #2, #5, #10,

TOPIC: OBJECTS OF NATIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS
CONTENT: 1. National consciousness and identity

2. Purpose of establishment of national institutions
Sub–Topic 1: NATIONAL CONSCIOUSNESS AND IDENTITY
(a) Meaning of National Consciousness
8
This is the feeling of love for one’s country. This is called National Consciousness or
Nationalism. The love for one’s country is paramount in the mind of such individual. People in
a Nation share the following:
(i) Common territory,
(ii) Economic life,
(iii) Political system,
(iv) Constitution,
(b) National Identity

Meaning of National identity
National identity refers to the characteristics by which a Nation can be recognized.
Identity is a situation in which things are the same or alike. In this wise, people from particular
cultural group are different from another and can easily be known because of some common
characteristics they possess. For instance, the Igbo’s are different from Yoruba’s. The features that
distinguish them from the Yoruba’s are language, mode of dressing, greetings, marriage practices,
dance patterns, art, values, festivals, customs and tradition. Each tribe in Nigeria has its own specific
cultural features that make it different from other tribes.
ETHNIC COMPOSITION OF NIGERIA
Nigeria is inhabited by people with different traditions and socio-cultural set up. It is almost a matter
of controversy in trying to ascertain the number of ethnic groups in Nigeria. Over 250 ethnic groups
have been identified to be in Nigeria, though some are sub-groups of a larger group. Nigeria has
three dominant (major) ethnic groups namely; Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa. Other ethnic groups exist.
These are Gwari, Kanuri, ShuwaArabs, Angas, Tiv, Nupe, Edo, Urhobo, Izon, Ibibio, Itsekiri, Efik and
others.
The Yoruba ethnic group occupy the south-west of Nigeria and they are found mainly in Ogun, Oyo,
Ondo, Ekiti, Osun, Lagos and in parts of Kwara, Kogi and Edo states.
9
The Hausa-Fulani ethnic group occupies the extreme Northwestern part of the country and borders
of Middle belt. Such states are, Zamfara, Kano, Kaduna, Katsina, Jigawa, Bauchi, Sokoto, Kebbi, and
Adamawa.
The Igbo occupy the South Eastern part of Nigeria. The main States are: Abia, Anambra, Enugu,
Ebonyi, Imo and parts of Delta and Rivers States.
Other notable ones are the Izon found mainly the coastal states of Nigeria, Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta and
coastal areas of Ondo State; The Nupe in Niger, parts of Kogi and Kwara States; The Tiv and Idoma in
Benue State, The Efik and Ibibio in Akwa-Ibom and Cross-River States; The Urhobo, Isoko, Itsekiri in
Delta State, The Kanuri, Shuwa Arabs etc in Borno and Yobe States; numerous others intermixing with
these and the major ethnic groups across the country are regarded as the minority tribes.
ASPECTS OF NATIONAL IDENTITY
1. We can identify with our country as a member and citizen of Nigeria. The federal
Government controls the whole Nation and we are part of it.
2. The international passport which is issued by Federal Ministry of internal affairs for
intending travelers outside Nigeria serves as a National Identity.
3. We can also identify with our constitution which controls both the government and
the people of Nigeria.
4. There is also the National Identity card which is issued to all Nigerians to serve as
means of identification.
5. We can also identify with our National symbols like the flag, Anthem and the pledge
which serve as a symbol of Nationhood.
6. Our currency (Naira and Kobo) is another major form of National identity.

Sub–Topic 2: PURPOSE OF ESTABLISHMENT OF NATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
The Federal government in the past years made series of efforts aimed at maintaining peace and
progress in the society. Some of these efforts led to the establishment of the Federal government
institutions to promote national unity. The following can be considered in the light of this
development.
1. The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) was established in 1973 to enable fresh
graduates to serve in other states of the Federation. In the process of this service, they
will be able to come in contact with people and culture different from their own. This
is to promote National Unity.
2. Unity schools were established throughout all the geo-political zones in the country.
This is to present an opportunity for students of other ethnic groups to be admitted
into these unity schools, Student can be admitted into any part of the country. This is
to promote National Unity.
3. Federal character principle was entrenched in the constitution in which all ethnic
groups would be represented in all our National life. Such as the appointment into
Federal Civil Service, Ministerial appointment, recruitment of players into our National
team. All these are aimed at promoting National Unity. Criteria to be fulfilled by
political parties are such that reflect federal character before they can be registered.

TOPIC: COMMON CRIMES, CAUSES AND EFFECTS
CONTENT: 1. Examples of Common Crimes
Sub-Topic 1: EXAMPLES OF COMMON CRIMES
1. FALSEHOOD
This is the property or characteristics of being false. It is a false statement, especially an
intentional one. It is the state of being untrue.
2. THEFT
This is the act of stealing. This can come in any form whether taking of property, money or
document that does not belong to someone
3. ACCESSORY
The charge of accessory can be brought against anyone who helps someone else commit a
crime, either before the crime takes place or afterward. If you know someone who is planning
to commit a crime and you do anything to help - plan the crime, loan him or her money or
tools, or even just give advice - you can be charged with accessory before the fact.
Likewise, if you know someone who has already committed a crime and you do anything to
help - such as give him or her a place to hide or help him or her destroy evidence - you can be
charged with accessory in the court of law.
4. AGGRAVATED ASSAULT
Aggravated assault is causing or attempting to cause serious bodily harm to the victim or using
a deadly weapon during an assault.
In most cases, a person has to have intention to do bodily harm, before being charged with
aggravated assault, but in some states the charge can be brought if someone negligently
causes an injury to another with a deadly weapon.
5. Arson
Arson is the intentional burning of a structure or building.
15
The structure does not have to be a residence or business; it can be any building to which the
fire causes structural damage.
Laws provide for different degrees of arson charges, such as first-degree or second-degree
arson. Usually, first-degree arson is charged when someone is injured or killed as a result of
the fire. Second-degree arson is charged when the damage caused by the fire is extensive.
Arson can also be charged against anyone who maliciously sets forest fires, crop fires or any
kind of wildfire.
6. Battery
Battery is any unlawful offensive physical contact with another person. The contact does not
have to be violent for the crime of battery to take place; it can be merely any offensive
touching.
Unlike the crime of assault, battery requires that actual contact be made, while assault
charges can be brought with only the threat of violence. This is in form of: Simple battery
which is usually any form of unlawful contact, criminal battery means there was intent to
cause injury while sexual battery is any non-consensual touching of the intimate parts of
another person

In its most simple form, perjury is lying under oath. The crime of perjury is the willful
swearing, either spoken or in writing, to tell the truth and then giving false information.
Perjury can occur even if the person has not been sworn to tell the truth, such as in a
courtroom. Merely signing a document under penalty of perjury that contains false
statements can be a crime. Signing an income tax return that contains false information is an
act of perjury

WEEK 6
DATE: ………………………
CLASS: JS1
CONTENT: 1. Causes of Common Crimes
Sub-Topic 1: CAUSES OF COMMON CRIMES
 Weakness
People are not bad by nature, but sometimes simply too timid to resist the vicious demons
that play on their weaknesses and cut their bond with the source of their Power. Humans are
good by default, but not everyone is made of steel so as to defend themselves against the
demonic forces - destructive emotions and detrimental attitudes: There are two core reasons
why weakness prevails with some:
1) lack of faith, not believing enough in the power of one's own internal weapons (against
inner demons), such as:
2) imbalance - most criminals are simply too strong physically, pumping up the body muscles,
but not enough the mental and emotional muscles. The reason why their strength becomes
weakness is because they are not balanced.
 Poor judgment
Lack of proper education and great role-models causes many to fail to distinguish right from
wrong.
In most cases offenders don't think they are doing something wrong, it seems right from their
point of view.
Poor judgment is also reflected in knowing it's wrong, but thinking they could get away with it,
18
not getting caught.
 Lack of love
Being raised in a dysfunctional family, or coming from a disadvantaged background, or feeling
discriminated, none of it alone can cause crime. There are so many others in the world with
such conditions, but nevertheless don't turn to crime. However they cause the lack of love and
respect for others. That, endorsed with some other factors, can be a major issue related to
crime.
 Poverty
Poverty is often blamed for leading to crime, however underneath is something more vital -
society bombards us with commercial values, making us want more and more material things,
to the point when some would do anything (including criminal acts) to get them.
Unemployment is another factor in this category that contributes to crime through looking
ways to earn money by any means possible.
 Social environment:
Social root causes of crime include; overexposure to television as a means of recreation, lack
of good leadership in the community, low value placed on children, real or perceived
inaccessibility to services.
 Ecological
It has long been known by police officers that cold winter nights keep criminals off the streets
and crime levels down. Crime scientists speculate that one of the hidden consequences of
global warming will be an increase in street crime during mild winters. Studies have suggested
that warmer temperatures boost aggression hormones such as epinephrine and testosterone.
