Extractions: Following nearly 16 years of military rule, a new constitution was adopted in 1999 and a peaceful transition to civilian government completed. The new president faces the daunting task of rebuilding a petroleum-based economy, whose revenues have been squandered through corruption and mismanagement, and institutionalizing democracy. In addition, the OBASANJO administration must defuse longstanding ethnic and religious tensions, if it is to build a sound foundation for economic growth and political stability.

Extractions: 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. CLIMATE AND WEATHER Nigeria lies entirely within the tropics yet there are wide climactic variations. In general, there are two seasons, dry and wet, throughout Nigeria. Near the coast, the seasons are less sharply defined. Temperatures of over 900F are common in the north, but near the coast, where the humidity is higher, temperatures seldom climb above that mark. Inland, around the two great rivers, the wet season lasts from April-Oct. and the dry season from Nov.-March. Temperatures are highest from Feb-April in the south and MarchJune in the north; they're lowest in July and Aug. over most of the country.

Extractions: Kwenu! Pirating and stealing African intellectual property and treasures UGO HARRIS Nigeria Democracy and Justice Project Washington, DC abujarock@yahoo.com Friday, May 7, 2004 A frican intellectual properties work in artifacts, music, videos, movies films, arts and treasures are the new frontier for international organized criminals, and the result is the pirating and stealing of African resources, treasures, skills, and work. Yet African artists and custodian of African cultural heritage are losing and not making any money or recognition out of their work and treasures. The organized international syndicates are reaping hundreds of million of dollars from African sweat with active participation of Africans and Nigerians in this illegal business. This April 2004, an effort is being made to stop this practice by the Filmmakers Association of Nigeria USA (FAN) (www.fanmovieland.com) led by Tony Abulu and Caroline Okolo, FAN director of operations, with their partners in Nigeria Filmmakers Cooperatives of Nigeria (FCON) led by Peace Anyiam-Feberesima and Don Obaseki, President of Association of Movie producers of Nigeria (AMP). These associations and a large contingent of Nigerian movie actors, actresses, directors, and producers are on tour of the United States to enlighten the public, governments, law enforcement agencies, NGOS, especially Africans and people of African heritage on how African artists, actors, actress, and producers are suffering from the destruction of African heritage and the negative impact it is having on the Nigerian and African economy.

Extractions: As time progressed many different styles were merged with African drum beats spawning new musical styles which then went on to blend with each other to form all new styles. The outcome of these mergers were very complex and hard to trace African influences in most, if not all, Cuban popular musical styles. It is so complex that Fernando Ortiz needed a ten-volume work just to trace the cultural origins of the African instruments being used in the popular music of time. Several different dozen musical styles were the outcome. To this day, no book has come close to the work done by Ortiz.

Extractions: THEIR SOCIO-POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC ROLES Titi Ufomata Nigeria is twice the size of California, roughly the size of Texas, with over 103 million people. More than 250 languages are spoken in the country including English. Multilingualism is a way of life for many Nigerians especially those who live in urban areas. The major religions are Christianity, Islam and traditional indigenous religions. Nigeria has the second largest economy (second to South Africa) on the continent. It is easy to see that within such a country there are bound to be different groups and classes of women. Obviously, their reality would differ from one another depending on their peculiar situation. For this reason, I will narrow my focus even further as the discussion progresses, to market women in Nigeria. While all women around the world share many social disabilities, one must not lose sight of the fact that strong differences exist between them. This is where problems arise when any group of women purport to speak for and on behalf of others simply because they are all women. Whereas there are marked differences from location to location, western feminist theory has historically privileged gender over issues of race and economic location, both of which are of paramount importance in any discussion on women in Africa. It is fair to add however, that in recent years a more nuanced analysis of the `spectrum of differences' has emerged in the literature, thus making it a little more compatible with the experiences of African women and women from other locations.
