Home Contact Staff HISTORY AND PEOPLE NIGERIA Much has been said and written about Nigeria, her people and culture, economy and politics, that sheds light on the tremendous potential of this African Giant. However, little is known to the outside world about the many exciting tourist attractions available in Nigeria: Historic sites nestled amid rivers and rain forests, breathtaking mountain vistas, remote creek villages, miles of pristine beaches and exotic national wildlife reserves. There are also museums, festivals, music and dance, a rich cultural melange right down to everyday traditional markets. These are just some of the spectacular sights and sensual delights awaiting the traveler to Nigeria. Nigeria has the largest population of any country in Africa (about 120 million), and the greatest diversity of cultures, ways of life, cities and terrain. With a total land area of 923,768 sq. km. (356,668 sq. mi.) Nigeria is the 14th largest country in Africa. Its coastline, on the Gulf of Guinea, stretches 774 km (480 mi.). Nigeria shares its international border of 4,470 km (2513 mi.) with four neighbors: Chad, Cameroon, Benin, and Niger. Until 1989 the capital was Lagos, with a population of about 2,500,000, but the government recently moved the capital to Abuja.

The country's industrial policy places great emphasis on monitoring and coordinated planning for the country's accelerated development through rapid industrialisation. Other aspects of the policy include: The exportation of processed products with high local raw materials content which are readily available in the country; and b) Increased production of food, raw materials and exportable cash crops.

NigeriaExchange Urhobo and the Nigerian Federation: Whither Nigeria? By: Peter P. Ekeh Buffalo, New York, USA Return to Formatted Version November 6, 2001 A guest lecture presented at Urhobo National Assembly's Seminar on Whither Nigeria? The Position of the Urhobo at Petroleum Training Institute, Effurun, Delta State, Nigeria, on October 27, 2001. I thank Dr. Igho Natufe, Senior Policy Research Advisor for the Government of Canada, Ottawa; Mr. Onoawarie Edevbie, an engineer in City of Detroit Water Resources, Michigan; and Professor Isaac James Mowoe, State University of Ohio, Columbus, for their important help in reading through the draft of this paper and for several suggestions for correction in it. They are my worthy colleagues in Urhobo Historical Society from whose chair I serve the Urhobo people, the Niger Delta, and Nigeria. It is an indication of the stress and turbulence of our times that Nigerians are everywhere re-examining the purpose of the Nigerian state and the relationships between their ethnic groups and the Nigerian federation. There has been no other occasion in our history when men and women, otherwise engaged in professions far removed from politics and public affairs, have been so concerned about the future of their ethnic groupings and about the purpose of their country's political arrangements. I believe that this is an important and forward-looking development that wise leaders would do well to embrace and to help advance. In worrying about their future and about the prospects of their ethnic groups, Nigerians have leaned backwards to probe their own foundation histories. In that process, they have raised important questions concerning the nature of Nigeria's constitutional arrangements that have implicated their cultural groupings.

The Clash of Titans Where Is ESAU in Biblical Prophecy? Who is modern day "Esau" or "Edom" in terms of Biblical prophecy? Where are the descendants of the brother of Jacob located today? Some think the "Jews" are the real descendants of Esau instead of "Judah," the son of Jacob?. Is this true? Is there a connection between Esau and the peoples of Spain, Italy, and Rome? Where did the descendants of th is historic figre go? Here is the astonishing story the TRUTH made plain for the very first time! William F. Dankenbring A little understood but vitally important rivalry, down through the corridors of time, is briefly highlighted in the pages of Scripture. This intense and fundamental conflict and sibling rivalry began even before the birth of the two brothers, Esau and Jacob! Notice! "And Isaac entreated the LORD for his wife, because she was barren: and the LORD was entreated of him, and Rebekah his wife conceived. And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it be so, why am I thus? And she went to enquire of the LORD.

Introduction This small pamphlet, is actually a first step, that will eventually lead in the next few months to a larger documentation of the actual facts about the present and true political situation in Nigeria. It is being diffused over the Internet as Olusegun Obasanjo the successor to one of the worst dictators Nigeria has ever seen arrives in Germany. The purpose of this visit is to attract more international investment. Which is a euphemism for increased riches for the already wealthy, ruination for the poor, terror for those who resist and destruction for the environment. We welcome the participation in our project of all democratic individuals and groups who oppose this naked pillage protected by military force. What we are seeing is the re-enactment of a century old scenario. The transfer of riches from the oppressed Nigerian masses to giant western multinationals and a handful of brigands in Africa. With the difference however that unprecedented technological means and propaganda are being mobilised to carry out the plunder on a scale never before seen. This is why we

Political and Other Extrajudicial Killing On May 5, a member of Lagos deputy governor's security detail allegedly killed a young woman when she obstructed the security detail as it was trying to clear traffic for a motorcade. Reports vary as to whether she was in a car or was a pedestrian. The security officer was charged with murder by a magistrate court. At year's end, the case had not been transferred to a court with jurisdiction over murder cases and a trial date had not been set. Police and military personnel used excessive and sometimes deadly force in the suppression of civil unrest, property vandalization, and interethnic violence, primarily in the oil and gas regions of Lagos, Kaduna and Abia states. Confrontations between increasingly militant "youths" (who tend to be unemployed males between the ages of 16 and 40), oil companies, and government authorities continued during the year. Reportedly 28 Delta youths were killed in such conflicts over protests or suspected vandalization near oil flow stations.

Kwenu! CONSTITUTIONAL CONUNDRUM Cuddling Colonialism N o one accuses Nigeria of apathy toward democratic designs. Diverse and distinct Africans had lived under popular institutions for centuries before 1900. These institutions had checks and balances and provided vents for the contemptible cancer of absolute authority. The 1913 Council Order brought together of the largely democratic South for the 1914 Amalgamation with the structured and largely feudal North. It was a sociopolitical and bureaucratic bad dream, a very Nigerian nightmare. The first gathering of legal Nigerians was undaunted. They took the tiger by the tail. But, as the Igbo would have told them, you must not touch the tail of the tiger, dead or alive. They did just that: toyed with a tail of a sleeping but vicious tiger. Generations thereafter have found themselves in a circuitous swing that produces one failed constitution after another. Nigeria has had nine national constitutional conferences in 75 years. It started in 1920, soon after the exit of Lord Lugard. Chaired by Sir Clifford, the conference laid the foundation for a republic. It also marked the involvement of locals in policy-making process. The 1922 Clifford Constitution thus opened the Golden Gate of flowing failures in a fabricated federation. From retirement in England, Lugard frowned; London scrapped the constitution. By the end of the World War II, colonial Britain realized that Herr Hitler had dealt their colonial dream of grandeur a fatal blow. They lost India, the crown jewel. The world was getting smaller the world according to Grandeur Britannia. It was no longer if but when Nigeria would be freed. The National Conference of Nigerian Citizens, NCNC, was formed under the charismatic leadership of American-educated Benjamin Nnamdi Azikiwe, a Northern-born and Yorubanized, urbane publisher of Igbo parentage.
