Extractions: An OPEC member, Nigeria is one of the world's largest oil exporters. Nigeria is a major oil supplier to Western Europe and was the 5 th largest supplier of crude oil to the United States in 2000. Note: information contained in this report is the best available as of April 2001 and is subject to change. GENERAL BACKGROUND The election and inaguration of President Olusegun Obasanjo's administration in 1999 returned Nigeria to civilian rule. In January 2001 , Obasanjo dissolved his cabinet with all senior ministers losing their positions. On February 8, 2001 , President Obasanjo announced his choices for his new cabinet without naming an appointment for the Petroleum Ministry. Former OPEC secretary-general Rilwan Lukman remains as Presidential Adviser on Petroleum and Energy. The Nigerian parliament has urged Obasanjo to immediately appoint an oil minister. In August 2000 , a bill seeking to transfer the direct control of Nigeria's crude oil resources from the central government to the regions was introduced to the lower legislative chamber. The bill, sponsored by 15 members of the House of Representatives, sought to amend about 29 provisions in the Petroleum Act of 1990. Earlier in the year , President Obasanjo signed into law a new revenue sharing formula with the nine oil-producing states by which the latter receive 13% of oil revenues versus the previously allotted 3%.

Extractions: The Ijaws in particular and the peoples of the Niger Delta in general, should pay serious attention to what is going on around them in Nigeria and all over the world. The events seem unconnected and yet are highly connected. They should realize that as far as oil is a crucial international commodity, their lives would never fully be in their control. They must be very vigilant and proactive politically. 3. The support, especially from the outside oil interests, has made it possible for the president to continue to rule without critical commentary about his human rights record. It is not an understatement to say that more Nigerians have died under this regime than under any other regime after the civil war. The political killings that have taken place under this regime have surpassed those of Gens. Ibrahim Babangida and Sani Abacha put together. Yet, the outside oil interests remain very quiet about the killings. The most plausible explanation for the quietness is that they consider the current president to be their man. The late Gen. Abacha was not considered their man, hence, the strident attacks against him when he was in power. 5. Leaders who cooperate with the international players are protected even when their human right records are actually worse than those who are considered to be the worst offenders. Turkish policy towards the Kurds are as vicious as Iraqis policy toward the Kurds, yet, Turkish transgressions are treated as acceptable behavior while Iraqi behavior is considered unacceptable. Human rights violations, assassinations, embezzlement, and corruption continue undisturbed in Nigeria, yet, the international actors remain very quiet. There is not a single international oil actor who has spoken openly about the situation in the Niger Delta. The Niger Delta is off the news and is kept as a hidden fact. It does not even appear on the evening news in any of the major oil-consuming capitals of the world. The only time news about the Niger Delta is reported internationally is when an oil company worker is kidnapped or when an oil flow station is blockaded by youth groups.

Extractions: University of Ibadan, Nigeria Just before putting pen to paper, I thought it expedient to refresh my memory about the meaning of the word elite which I always thought had something to do with a select group or class within a society. I did a double take when Webster's Dictionary definition made a serious rethinking of the import of the title of this lecture inevitable. Says Webster Then again, membership of the social/political and intellectual elite classes may not be mutually exclusive. A man may quite easily gain admission into the former, but may be considered ineligible for the latter. So where do we go from here? I think that it is safe to assume that "elite" in this context refers to the social and political elite in Urhoboland. I make this assumption because of my impression that the Urhobo man is unduly preoccupied with the issue of elitism, particularly when it has to do with leadership. And leadership is another concept with which we have to come to grips but later. The Urhobo constitute an ethnic group, but there is great diversity in the origins of the various clans as well as diversity in their culture. Indeed, the differences are so marked that H.R.H Adjara III and Omokri, in their recent book

INDEX LIST OF RECORD GROUPS USED IN THE COMPILATION OF THE INDEX AND THEIR ACRONYMS PREFACE The need for a detailed study of the indigenous economic history of the peoples of Nigeria cannot be over-stressed. In recent years some studies have been made and books published on the Economic History of Nigeria. Such works can best be described as an extension of British Economic History in Nigeria. They are studied relating to British economic activities in Nigeria which means that no serious efforts have been made by economic historians study the various indigenous economic systems, the institutions, organisations and innovations, that made it possible for Nigerians to satisfy their wants before their march towards economic progress was unwarranted interrupted by the British economic imperialism. Economic Historians have not done much work in the study of Nigeria's indigenous economic systems before the advent of the British economic imperialists, this is perhaps due to paucity of information. This compilation is to present to the student the available archival sources which provide information on the indigenous economic systems of Nigeria prior to the changes brought about by British economic activities in the country.

Nigeria is a major oil supplier to Western Europe and was the 5 th largest supplier of crude oil to the United States in 2002. Note: information contained in this report is the best available as of March 2003 and is subject to change. GENERAL BACKGROUND The election and inauguration of President Olusegun Obasanjo's administration in 1999 returned Nigeria to civilian rule. On January 6, 2003 , it was announced that President Obasanjo won the nomination for president in the ruling People's Democratic Party (PDP) primaries in Abuja. Nigeria's presidential elections are scheduled to be held on April 19. Local and legislative elections are also planned to be conducted around the same time. Nigeria has not held successful elections under a civilian government since independence from the United Kingdom in 1960, with attempts in 1966 and 1983 ending in violence and military coups. In April 2000, President Obasanjo signed into law a new revenue sharing formula with the nine oil-producing states by which the latter receive 13% of oil revenues versus the previously allotted 3%.

Extractions: DAWODU.COM Dedicated to Nigeria's socio-political issues Why Not Build More Refineries? By Mobolaji E. Aluko, Ph.D. Burtonsville, MD, USA Alukome@aol.com July 7, 2003 A reader (and he knows himself!), on reading my latest essay, wrote to me as follows: QUOTE Please educate me on this. How much does it really cost to build a brand new and economically viable oil refinery? My uneducated guess is that the money spent on the failed attempts to rehabilitate the existing refineries since 1999 is probably sufficient to build a new one. Also, what is stopping the SW governments in collaboration with private investors (or preferably these governments enabling private investors to do this) from commercially developing the bitumen resources in these states? These are rhetorical questions, since my guess is that something in our military constitution has taken these rights away from the people of these states.

Extractions: This list includes links to websites made by Nigerians, on Nigeria and on Nigerians. I'm collecting this link list mainly because of my own interest. Still I hope it finds some other users too. One target group I hope find this list useful are people like me: those who want to know the country, maybe visit it. Also I hope the Nigerian children and other Nigerians in diaspora could use this to stay in contact with their homeland. As I am studying media studies, I have included some links to pages that have material I don't quite agree with. This is for the purpose to not only know about Nigeria but also to study the image Nigeria has in the net. So please bear in mind that some pages tell more about their author than about their topic. Note that I use the Finnish system in dates: dd.mm.yy. For example 1.3.99 means first of march. Send your suggestions and comments to rkorpela@levi.urova.fi . Thank you for visiting.

Extractions: Non Governmental Organisations now play a key watchdog role in society. Along side the media, these organisations be they trade unions, human rights, community based, professional, or single-issue organisations between them either represent or protect the rights and interests of millions of people. In countries where the institutions of democracy are undermined by undemocratic governments, business interests or external influences, these organisations often play a vital role in defending or promoting the rights and welfare of many. An important aspect of their work involves scrutinising the activities of governments, intergovernmental organisations and business interests. Media coverage of their work is therefore important in order to help them reach a wider audience which will in turn help promote accountability. NEWS On the eve of the hearing set for 30 March in Tunis, Amnesty International is launching an urgent appeal to the Tunisian authorities to put an end to the travesty of justice that has so far tainted the trial of Hamma Hammami, Abdeljabbar Madouri and Samir Taamallah, who are accused of membership of an unauthorised organisation, the Parti communiste des ouvriers tunisiens (PCOT) Tunisian Workers' Communist Party.

Extractions: (no images shown) I now have 709 African art slides. Of these 542 are African (incl. Egypt-Nubian), 117 Egyptian (non-Nubian), and 47 African American introduction slides. This page lists the African, Egypt-Nubian, African American introduction, and a few of Western art influenced by African art. This page does not list my Egyptian non-Nubian slides, and additional African American and African European slides, which are on different lists. In addition to the above slides, I show additional works or art on the 20 videotapes I have on African art and related culture, and art processes. The timeframes of these tapes range from approximately 15 to 90 minutes. I plan to write a Web page of notes on these tapes. In teaching African art, I use all or part of these slides, videotapes, and other materials, depending on the nature and purpose of the course, and the course's place in the institution's curriculum. This list divides the continent into three geographic divisions, North, East and Southern, West, and Central. Each division is subdivided by traditional, crafts, and neo-African art as recent as 1999. The list concludes with African-influenced art and crafts, and an introduction to African American art if the latter is appropriate.

Extractions: Political Violence Against Americans , formerly Significant Incidents of Political Violence Against Americans , is produced by the Bureau of Diplomatic Security's Office of Intelligence and Threat Analysis (DS/DSS/ITA) to provide readers with a comprehensive picture of the broad spectrum of political violence that American citizens and interests have encountered abroad on an annual basis. This publication encompasses anti-U.S. incidents; however, some incidents have been omitted due to the sensitive information associated with them. Incidents for this study were based upon lethality, substantial damage to property, use of unusual tactics or weapons, and perceptibility of targets as U.S. or representative of U.S. interests. Special Report The "year of anti-U.S. demonstrations" may best describe 1999. During 1999, there were 921 demonstrations directed against U.S. interests worldwide. Approximately 97 percent of the demonstrations were directed against the U.S. Government or diplomatic facilities. Forty-four of the demonstrations were violent. Anti-U.S. demonstrations were held in response to various world events were the U.S. Government's involvement was perceived to be pivotal. These events include the NATO air strikes on Yugoslavia (Operation Allied Force), the rendition of Kurdistan Worker's Party founder and leader Abdullah Ocalan, the East Timor referendum vote for independence, and the U.S. Supreme Court's upheld conviction of Mumia Abu-Jamal sentence for the murder of a Philadelphia police officer.
