Extractions: 24 June 1999 CELLULAR phone company MTN, which has a bullish expansion strategy in Africa, is in the final stages of securing a licence to operate mobile and international services in Nigeria. MTN and its partners launched commercial operations in Uganda, Rwanda and Swaziland last year, where they already have investments totalling $110m, and MTN is making the fastest inroads into Uganda where it has acquired 35000 customers. Macdonald, who is responsible for MTN's Africa strategy, is optimistic about the potential of the populous Nigerian market, but says MTN, once given the go-ahead, will start with a limited roll-out until it is more sure of the political risks. MTN has a $20m investment with local partners, including Rwandatel, in Rwanda, which permits only one cellphone operator. MTN has about 7000 customers there and expects the customer base to expand now the service has been extended to more towns outside the capital Kigali. It has found the Rwandan government, which badly needs foreign investment, supportive and finds its overall economic policies sympathetic to business. In the Swazi market, MTN and its main local partner, Swazi Postal and Telecommunications, have the only operating mobile licence and have invested about $20m.

Oyo State being the 'mother' state from where each of the states were carved. At the amalgamation of the Northern and Southern part of Nigeria, three regions came into existence namely; Northern, Eastern and Western Regions. The area known today as the South Western part of Nigeria was the Western Region. Thus, the seven States have some common features: (i) they have a common history having originated from the ancestor; (ii) they are Yoruba speaking states although their dialects are different. The Yoruba spoken in Oyo is understood by all of them. (iii) their culture is closely related (iv) the area was the first to benefit from free primary education which started in 1955

Extractions: Skip redundant navigation Introduction In May 1999, Nigeria ushered in a new era of democracy by inaugurating its first democratically elected government in fifteen years, ending a cycle of military dictatorships that devastated the country's economic and social capital. Nigerians have cause to be optimistic with the country's political transition. Engagement and partnership with the international community are replacing sanctions and isolation. At the same time, Nigeria has begun to slowly rebuild an economy derailed by years of corruption and mismanagement, and reclaim its position of leadership in Africa. The stakes for the new democracy are high; Nigeria's regional neighbours, the international donor community, and the Nigerians themselves are all watching the civilian government as it faces a delicate period of transition. But while the full dividend from the democratic transition has yet to reach many Nigerians, a majority are nonetheless willing to give democracy the time necessary to redress the problems of the past (71% in August 2001). History and Overview of USAID's Nigeria program USAID reacted quickly to political changes in Nigeria in 1999, including activities to mobilize women to vote and run for office - building upon USAID's pre-democracy work with women's grassroots organizations. Added to this was direct support of the election process, which included assisting the electoral commission with its administration, helping civil society and political parties deploy nearly 260,000 poll-watchers and, under the direction of Office of Transition Initiatives, training 10,300 newly-elected officials.

Lev. 25:8; Lk. 4:16-20; Isa. 61]. The People of God raise arms in thanksgiving prayer to our heavenly Father. This jubilee year is a blessing from God. As one Family we take time out, rest, celebrate, know the Lord more intimately, review our life together, in order to assume with greater fervour into the next millennium the mission confided to us by God through his Son Jesus Christ. Our country, Nigeria, is made up of many peoples, cultures, and ethnic groups having rich histories and traditions. This wealth and variety are brought into our praise of God and the review of our Christian life. Before our contact with Christian traders and missionaries from Portugal our lands had been in touch with Arabs from North Africa. Trade in hides and skins, salt and other commodities existed with North Africa before the shameful trade in slaves and later in palm oil and palm kernel. These contacts are the channels through which both Islam and Christianity were implanted in Nigeria to stay side by side with the many forms of African Traditional Religion.

Extractions: Dr. Olayemi Akinwumi provides us with useful insights into the activities of a popularly known group of Nigerian entrepreneurs, the alajapa and alarobo of Western Nigeria. These are wholesale and retail sellers who deal largely with agricultural commodities in various parts of Yorubaland. Akinwumi briefly identifies some of the pre-colonial references to female entrepreneurs. He sees a distinction between the scale of their development in this era and their subsequent decline in the colonial and early post-colonial periods. The alajapa and alarobo female entrepreneurs have increased significantly over the last two decades, however. Akinwumi tells us why in his illuminating discussion. He also provides us with a list of commodities that feature in their commercial activity and the West African regions from which they are obtained. Some of these areas are within the Nigerian region but we should note the commercial contact with the Benin Republic which contains a large

Extractions: Nigeria Before the colonial period, the area which comprises modern Nigeria had an eventful history. More than 2,000 years ago, the Nok culture in the present Plateau state worked iron and produced sophisticated terra cotta sculpture. In the northern cities of Kano and Katsina, recorded history dates back to about 1000 AD. In the centuries that followed, these Hausa kingdoms and the Bornu empire near Lake Chad prospered as important terminals of north-south trade between North African Berbers and forest people who exchanged slaves, ivory, and kola nuts for salt, glass beads, coral, cloth, weapons, brass rods, and cowrie shells used as currency. In the southwest, the Yoruba kingdom of Oyo was founded about 1400, and at its height from the 17th to 19th centuries attained a high level of political organization and extended as far as modern Togo. In the south central part of present-day Nigeria, as early as the 15th and 16th centuries, the kingdom of Benin had developed an efficient army; an elaborate ceremonial court; and artisans whose works in ivory, wood, bronze, and brass are prized throughout the world today. In the 17th through 19th centuries, European traders established coastal ports for the increasing traffic in slaves destined for the Americas. Commodity trade, especially in palm oil and timber, replaced slave trade in the 19th century, particularly under anti-slavery actions by the British Navy. In the early 19th century the Fulani leader, Usman dan Fodio, promulgated Islam and that brought most areas in the north under the loose control of an empire centered in Sokoto.
