We are also rich in oil and natural gas. Akwa lbom accounts for more than 28 percent of Nigeria's total crude oil output. Much of the crude is located offshore which has pr*oven reserves of spectacular discoveries. We have enormous reserve of gas on - shore. Exxon Mobil, Shell, Chevron and Elf have been actively exploiting these resources for years. Our territorial water is home to a diversity of aquatic life that is ideal for deep water fishing.

Extractions: Kwenu! Of body and soul of the Sun M. O. ENÉ, Ph.D. New Jersey, USA egbedaa@aol.com Friday, May 30, 2003 PREAMBLE On May 30, 1967, the sovereign state of Biafra emerged. On July 6, 1967, Lt.-Colonel Yakubu Gowon, head of state in Nigeria from which Biafra had broken away, declared war on a people physically persecuted, morally wounded, psychologically traumatized, and spiritually scarred. He had thought a walkover police action was all it would take to stop to Biafra . Never in the history of modern warfare had there been such a deep disparity in firepower and manpower as in the Nigeria-Biafra War, yet Gowons regime could not stop Biafra. An indigenous African power had emerged. With what we witnessed in Iraq recently, the Biafran military machine was in a class of its own. It would take the unholy Anglo-Arab-Soviet alliance to make Biafra sweat. Thirty months later, on January 12, 1970, the political and military structure of Biafra dismantled. The body of Biafra is gone, and its flag no longer flies freely in the Land of the Rising Sun, but the soul of Sun lives. It lives because we are still traveling the same route that led to Biafra; we are still living the drama, and many of the original actors are still on stage playing the similar roles. Nigerians forgot to win the peace in the euphoria of enormous oil wealth. Even the Igbo who stood to lose from forgetting their past logged onto the forget-Biafra ferret and sunk deep into a dungeon of dangerous denial.

Extractions: Information contained in this report is the best available as of March 2003 and is subject to change. 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 sharingformula with the nine oil-producing states by which the latter receive 13 % of oil revenues versus the previously allotted 3 %. In February 2003, a resolution of the dispute between the federal government and the littoral states over the allocation of offshore oil and gas revenues was reached. The Obasanjo government had taken the unprecedented step of asking Nigeria's Supreme Court to intervene in its argument with regional state governments over control of the country's offshore oil and gas resources.

Extractions: Chapter 20. Technological Change and Project Execution in Nigeria: The Case of Ajaokuta Steel Plant document 21 de 29 Banji Oyelaran-Oyeyinka and O. Adeloye This work examines industrial development as it is reflected in the importation, adaptation, and assimilation of technology. Studies have established that mastery of technology can be brought about only by deployment of resources in a systematic and sustained manner. Although developing countries introducing a new technology with the complexity of an integrated steel plant do not have to master the basis of the technology, they will face formidable technomanagerial challenges without that mastery. Nigeria is a late starter; technologically, it is behind South Korea, Brazil, and India, as is reflected in the research literature. Whereas research in the more advanced developing countries deals with innovative changes in the mature industries (steel, capital goods, etc.), the effort in the present study and in most related research in Nigeria is limited to examining the introduction of technology and the mastery of production technology. Specifically, this study

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.

Extractions: Reading through the life of Audre Lorde. De Veaux breaks through the myths and iconic status of Lorde and takes us on a journey of Lorde's transformation from lesbian "gal" to poet. social activist, cancer survivor and finally black feminist lesbian warrior poet. A homage to a great Black lesbian feminist woman - no one has come near Audre Lorde as yet - De Veaux is nonetheless brave enough to give us details of the not so pleasant side of Lorde such as her taking of amphetamines and bouts of abusive anger. She also lays open Lorde's relationship to white women which up to the last 10 years, dominated her friendships and affairs and her somewhat ambivalant relationship to Black women. All of which makes Lorde even more of an exceptional human being given that she had flaws like the rest of us. Excellent first biogrpahy.

PROTEST AND REPRESSION IN THE NIGER DELTA Umuechem No compensation has been awarded for the attack to those whose relatives were killed or homes destroyed; nor have the perpetrators been brought to justice. The Ogoni Crisis In October 1990, MOSOP sent the Ogoni Bill of Rights to then head of state Gen. Ibrahim Babangida, but received no response. In December 1992, MOSOP sent its demands to Shell, Chevron, and NNPC, the partners in the joint ventures operating in Ogoni, together with an ultimatum to pay back royalties and compensation within thirty days or quit Ogoni. Sixteen members of the MOSOP leadership were put on trial for the May 1994 murders, and nine, including Ken Saro-Wiwa, were eventually convicted and sentenced to death by a special tribunal established for the case, whose procedures blatantly violated international standards of due process. One leading jurist concluded: The judgement of the Tribunal is not merely wrong, illogical or perverse. It is downright dishonest. The Tribunal consistently advanced arguments which no experienced lawyer could possibly believe to be logical or just. I believe that the Tribunal first decided on its verdicts and then sought for arguments to justify them. No barrel was too deep to be scraped. Following the execution of Saro-Wiwa and his codefendants, and the flight of many other leadership figures into exile, MOSOP lost its driving force. Twenty former activists in MOSOP, who were detained at various times in 1994 and 1995, were held in Port Harcourt prison, in deteriorating health, until September 1998, charged with murder in connection with the killings of May 1994 for which Ken Saro-Wiwa and his codefendants were hanged.

Nigeria's economy is heavily dependent on the oil sector, which accounts for 90-95% of export revenues, over 90% of foreign exchange earnings and nearly 80% of government revenues. Real GDP is estimated to have grown by 3.0% in 2001, but International Monetary Fund (IMF) estimates for 2002 see GDP declining by 0.9%. Nigeria's central bank (CBN) estimates that the economy grew by 3.3% in 2002, below the targeted 5.0%. Inflation is estimated to have slowed to 13.4% in 2002, compared with 18.9% in 2001.

Extractions: NIGERIA HAS NEVER EXERCISED RULE OVER BAKASSI EVEN IN TRADITIONAL SOCIETY n spite of the fact that the history of the Bakassi actual Founders has been preserved, very little is said of the Isangele People, (USAK- ADE), the Aborigin of the highly acclaimed Region, due to greed by the various claimants. However, the natives can be faulted too since they made no effort in projecting their area; thereby contributing to the death of informative data on the USAK- ADE (Isangele) People. In consideration of the above, the history of the Isangele people is shrouded in mystery; there is a complete death of information as regards the historical antecedents of the people of this area. It is, in fact, a perplexing and an agonizing paradox that the USAK- ADE people who were said to be the real indigenous owners of the entire Bakassi Region have been condemned to the shackles of obscurity and historical obligation. Much of the historical voyages undertaken into the past of Bakassi area have tended to gloss over the centrality of the Usak-Edet people as far as the birth of this richly endowed territory is concerned.
