    Extractions: Nigeria CONTEXT Although human rights violations in Nigeria have been commonplace under military rule, 1993 was a particularly challenging year for Nigerian human rights groups. Former President General Ibrahim Babangida annulled the results of a presidential election, which would have brought the country back to civilian rule, and installed an interim government. In mid-November, Defense Minister General Sani Abacha forced the interim government to resign, effectively staging the seventh coup d'etat since Nigeria's independence. The regime banned all political meetings and associations. No timetable was set for the return to civilian rule. Throughout this crisis, the human rights community has banded together under a coalition called the Campaign for Democracy (CD). Riots erupted in Lagos in early July 1993 and the regime detained hundreds of protesters for a month. CD called for additional strikes and demonstrations. Human rights abuses during this time were widespread, including ethnically-based attacks, killing of demonstrators, detentions of activists and journalists, and interference with freedom of expression and association. The Nigerian press, known for being outspoken, came under even more fire from government authorities during the political crisis. The government closed down several magazine houses. Abuses by members of the police and security forces remain a persistent human rights problem. There are frequent cases of harassment and extra-judicial killings by law enforcement officers. Abysmal prison conditions have also been highlighted by the human rights community.

"This particular camp had well over 40,000 (and they have many more who don't register). I can hardly begin to explain what I experienced. I was moved by the simplicity of faith and humility displayed by everyone I met. When I got home, I asked (my wife) Shirley to knock me on the side of the head if I ever start to complain about anything!

    Extractions: RELATED Miss World 2002 ABUJA, Nigeria The finals of the annual Miss World contest are being held for the first time in their history in Africa. Nigeria is hosting the event which purports to select the "most beautiful woman in the world" from among its nearly 100 contestants. CNN's Jeff Koinange reports that while individual contestants are receiving a warm welcome in Nigeria, the contest itself has encountered some rough going. The annual pageant, which draws a global TV audience of over two billion viewers is already causing controversy even before it has begun. The timing of the event on December 7, so close to Islam's holiest month, has rubbed some people the wrong way. Aisha Mohammed, of the Federation of Nigerian Muslim Women Association of Nigeria, said: "I'm personally against women showing that they are so beautiful. "It's not an achievement, it's something that God endows on who he wants to so for women to say, 'oh look at me I'm so beautiful,' I think is unimportant."

    Extractions: COUNTRY DESCRIPTION: Nigeria is a developing West African country that has experienced periods of political instability. Its internal infrastructure is neither fully functional nor well maintained. The inauguration of President Olusegun Obasanjo on May 29, 1999 marked the return of civilian rule after sixteen years of military governments. ENTRY/EXIT REQUIREMENTS: A passport and visa are required. The visa costs forty-five US dollars and must be obtained in advance. Promises of entry into Nigeria without a visa are credible indicators of fraudulent commercial schemes in which the perpetrators seek to exploit the foreign traveler's illegal presence in Nigeria through threats of extortion or bodily harm. U.S. citizens cannot legally depart Nigeria unless they can prove, by presenting their entry visas, that they entered Nigeria legally. Entry information may be obtained at the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 2201 M Street, N.W., in Washington, D.C. 20037, telephone (202) 822-1500, or at the Nigerian Consulate General in New York, telephone (212) 850-2200. Overseas inquiries may be made at the nearest Nigerian Embassy or Consulate. REGISTRATION/EMBASSY LOCATION: U.S. citizens are encouraged to register at the U.S. Embassy and to obtain updated information on travel and security in Nigeria. The U.S. Embassy is located at 2 Walter Carrington Crescent, Victoria Island in Lagos. The telephone number is [234](1) 261-0050. The Internet address for the consular section in Lagos is: http://lagoscons@lagossf.us-state.gov. The Embassy Office in the new capital city of Abuja is located at 9 Mambilla, Maitama District.

(This is my dumb attempt at making this page more ethnic...somebody's request). This page is dedicated to Nigeria and the Igbo culture. My name is Chinelo, and I started learning the Igbo language in the winter of 1996/1997 when I was a senior in high school. I liked it so much that I decided to create a page on the language and my heritage. The rest is history (or to be PC, herstory). For those who have been here before...same mission statement. But soon the page will be completely updated (as I always say...but I really do have a creative idea for this...you'll just have to wait for that). I had been really busy with work and life and haven't had time to add new information and honor people's requests for specific topics. But it should coming, um, soon probably...yeah. In the mean time, I added an update page to keep you current on what's going on with the page. Regarding specific information requests...I will try to find out information on inquiries made in guest book entrees, so please be patient. I do try to find out information on every request (well, if it interests me, but I'm a student so you'd have to try really hard to find something that I wasn't interested in), so if you do have one, please sign the guest book.

    http://www.nigeria.gov.ng/DEMOCRACY/chapter5/cultureandtourism.htm
    
    Extractions: Prior to the take off of the present democratic dispensation, Nigeria’s cultural diplomacy had been at its lowest ebb having suffered the same fate with other aspects of her national life. However, with the restructuring of the Culture and Tourism sub-sector of the Nigerian economy as a separate Ministry in 1999, accelerated growth in both the identification and development of the sector’s diverse resources and potentials has begun to be witnessed. The nation’s Cultural sector has been quite active for the period under consideration. Not only has the Domestic Cultural Operation department finalized research activities of the first stage of the Cultural Calendar which will reflect our Cultural Festivals, places of interest, sites, museums and monuments in the country; it also packaged an exhibition of art works at the just concluded International seminar on fostering partnership between the Executive and the Legislature for sustainable democracy.

    Extractions: This comes as reports from mainly Muslim northern Nigeria say that there has been a massive increase in the number of baby boys called Osama - after Bin Laden. In one hospital in Kano, where there were celebrations after the 11 September attacks, seven out of 10 babies are said to be being given the name Osama. The Calabar woman is a Christian and her husband is a Muslim. But the BBC's Sola Odunfa in Lagos says that religion has little to do with this marital discord - it has more to do with Nigerian traditional beliefs in the influence a name has over a person's character. No ceremony The woman said: "Osama Bin Laden is a criminal with an inclination towards shedding innocent blood."
