Ellsworth Arizona State University Comments, Criticism, and Citation Welcomed kevin.ellsworth@asu.edu www.public.asu.edu/~ellswork Identities' Conflicts: Wedding Nigeria's Subnational and International Identities and the Conflicts they Enable Introduction At the very least, this paper presents the problematic effects of democratization in Nigeria's deeply divided society. But it promises to do much more. Many scholars describe various manifestations of the relationship between ethnicity and democracy. Still others prescribe institutional remedies to prevent or restrain the violence that sometimes results. None, however, explores the representational practices that bind the manifestations of ethnic and democratic identities to each other across their domestic and international environments. Nor do they explore how these practices affect the likelihood and magnitude of the communal conflicts that sometimes accompany democratization. I propose to begin that explorationto consider issues of communication, meaning, and identity in order to explain how democracy is imposed, adopted, written and read across the international-domestic divide, and finally, to reveal how that process affects communal relations. Central to this study lies the notion of political identity.

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.

Rain Queen Modjadji I of Balobedu (South Africa) Chief Mugodo was warned by the ancestral spirits of a plot by his sons to overthrow him. To fulfill the desires of the spirits he had all his sons killed and told his daughter that according to the wishes of the sprits he must marry her on his death. By doing this he ensured that the new heir to his throne would be a queen and thus a new dynasty of woman was founded. When the new queen gave birth to a son that was fathered by her own father, he was strangled at birth. Her second child was a girl, and she signaled the start of the female dynasty. This was the first Modjadji and ever since the queen lives in complete seclusion deep in the forest where she practice the age-old secretive rituals to make rain.

But Africa's most populous nation did not even have a name before the late nineteenth century, nor for that matter a national identity. Rather, British colonization brought together three vast and culturally distinctive regions - north, southeast, and southwest - and at least 250 different language groups, more than any other African country. Generously endowed as well with natural resources such as crude oil, gas, coal, iron, limestone, columbite, and tin, Nigeria in its early postcolonial years was viewed as a potential middle-level economic power. Since independence in 1960, however, corrupt military rule has conspired with religious as well as ethnic fractiousness to all but dissipate the nation's early promise. Following independence, Nigeria was rocked by political crises: disputed elections led to widespread violence, then to a coup and countercoup, then to ethnic tensions that exploded into the 30-month Biafran War (1967-1970). In the nearly three decades since the Biafran War, promised returns to democratic civilian rule have been repeatedly thwarted by military-sponsored coups, crackdowns on opposition groups, and electoral maneuverings. Many of Nigeria's most esteemed intellectuals have left the country, while others have faced severe state prosecution. By the late 1990s, many Nigerians viewed head of state General Sani Abacha's ostensible democratic transition with great skepticism. In mid-1998, Abacha's sudden death, followed a month later by the equally unexpected death of one of his greatest rivals, the imprisoned businessman Moshood Abiola, left the country's political future even more uncertain.

The President History (Sites open in a separate window) The religions in Nigeria are roughly 36% Christian, 56% Muslim, and about 8% 'everything else', including traditional religions and beliefs. There are a number of different traditional religions available. They usually are specific to the different ethnic groups, and the deities are usually the gods and goddesses that the ethnic group believes in, and each ethnic group had a shrine dedicated to the deities that it believed in. The deities ranged from those who created the earth, to those who offer divine protection and/or blessings to it's worshippers, to those who had control over certain aspects of the world (like weather or war), to spirits that can be somewhat controlled by human beings. Most of these religions did not have written documentation of their beliefs and practices, but they did rely on a priest to teach them and to intervene on their behalf, and the priests were usually very highly trained for this, to the extent of being raised for this task sometimes.

Extractions: There are several thousand languages spoken in the world, however it is estimated that about 100 account for 95% of the world's population. Languages can be grouped together into families on the basis of similarities of vocabulary and grammatical structure. It has been suggested that languages in the same family have common origins or antecedents. Languages families are divided into branches or sub-groups. For example, some of the branches of the Indo-European language family include the Indo-Iranian languages, the Romance languages, the Germanic languages (which include English) and the Celtic languages. Similarly, the Semitic languages form a sub-group of the Afro-Asiatic language family, and the Bantu languages form a sub-group of the Niger-Congo language family. Languages of Africa

BENIN IN CONTEMPORARY NIGERIA AN AGENDA FOR THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY BY Professor Eghosa Osagie, Ph.D Director of Studies National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru Jacob Egharevba Memorial Lecture organized by the Institute for Benin Studies, and delivered at Oba Akenzua Cultural Centre, Benin City, on December, 10, 1999 A. INTRODUCTION I would start by putting on record my appreciation to the Institute for Benin Studies for inviting me to deliver the Second Egharevba Memorial Lecture. Two years ago, the Institute organized the inaugural lecture delivered by my friend, brother and colleague, Professor Unionmwan Edebiri on "Benin and the outer world". That scholarly lecture appropriately set an admirably high standard for succeeding ones. It is indeed a great honour and privilege to be invited to deliver a public lecture in memory of one of Africa's greatest scholars, visionaries and sages. Chief Egharevba devoted his life to carrying out research into Benin history, civilization, and publishing his findings and conclusions in books that are most valuable for the study and preservation of Benin culture. There is one aspect of his work, which I consider most important for the purpose of this lecture and to which I will return later. This is his foresight in anticipating problems and wisdom in proffering fitting solutions. Ladies and gentlemen, permit me to quote from his BENIN LAWS AND CUSTOMS as follows: -

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.

Extractions: AFRICAN THEOLOGY AND THE STATUS OF WOMEN IN AFRICA [a work in progress] Presented to the Canadian Theological Society May 25, 2001 by Ian D. Ritchie, Ph.D. St. John's Anglican Church, 41 Church St., Kingston, ON., K7M 1H2 The paper assesses the role played by African theologians in advancing the status of women in Africa. The perception (common in western church circles) of the African church as a bastion of conservatism and patriarchy will be examined critically. Starting with a brief overview of gender in precolonial Africa, moving to an analysis of the influence of mission Christianity and the African Initiated Churches, the paper concludes with an evaluation of the influence of African theologians. The conclusion that Christianity may be moving African women towards equality more rapidly than in western societies speaks of a positive relationship between academic theology, church and society.[ An earlier version of this article formed a chapter of the author's 1993 doctoral dissertation, African Theology and Social Change.

It may be possible to add these in a subsequent version. Also left for future versions are italics and the dots under the letters e, o, and s, as described in the note on orthography below. Yoruba specialists will easily be able to supply them, and non-Yoruba specialists will not be particularly worried by their omission.] These latter variables are central to the final chapter which deals with social stratification. Discussions of stratification based on Marxist or Weberian categories and discussions of ethnic identity stemming from the work of Abner Cohen have been pursued largely in isolation from each other. This is a preliminary attempt at a synthesis which I hope to develop in future. Many general surveys of this sort start off as by-products of Ph.D. dissertations: this one is no exception. My fieldwork was financed by a Hayter Studentship from the Department of Education and Science, and by a Smuts Studentship from the University of Cambridge. During the course of my fieldwork I was affiliated to the Institute of African Studies, University of Ghana, Legon, and to the Department of Sociology, University of Ibadan. My thanks are due to all these institutions, together with Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, for a period of study-leave during which much of the thesis was written and the present study planned.

Adoration Of The Sacrament This adoration is manifested in various ways, especially in genuflexions and, if the Sacrament be solemnly exposed, in prostrations. http://www.ccel.org/s/schaff/encyc/encyc01/htm/iii.ii.htm
Extractions: ADORATION OF THE SACRAMENT: A term of the Roman Catholic Church, where, in consequence of the doctrine of transubatantiatiop which affirms the presence of Christ in the Eucharist under the species of bread and wine, divine worship is paid to the Sacrament of the altar, a worship that includes adoration. This adoration is manifested in various ways, especially in genuflexions and, if the Sacrament be solemnly exposed, in prostrations. Certain forms of devotion are intended to promote adoration of the Sacrament, notably the ceremony called Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament, the Forty Hours Devotion, and the practise of perpetual adoration which secures the presence of adorers before the altar at all hours of the day and night. A congregation of priests the Society of Priests of the Most Holy Sacrament, is devoted particularly to the worship of Christ on the altar. JOHN T. CREAGH. mentioned in a Babylonian chronicle as having been destroyed by Shalmaneser IV., the god Adrammelech is no doubt a Syrian divinity. The name has been explained as meaning " Adar the prince," " splendor of the king," and " fire-king," while others think that the original reading was " Adadmelech." Since the name is Aramaic, the last is to be preferred.
