Like others who do research in Africa, I frequented local and regional markets during my stay in Cameroon, from November 1988 through July 1989. The large markets draw traders from all over the country as well as from Nigeria, Ghana, and the Republic of Benin. Many are women selling local goods; men sell furniture, electronic equipment, and automotive products. On one trip to the market in the coastal town of Limbe, I saw a woman offering fabric she described as "George" cloth (1) obtained in nearby Nigeria. The seller identified herself as Suwu, an indigenous ethnic group of the Limbe and Bimbia regions of Cameroon's Southwest Province. After Limbe, her venues included small markets on the way to Bimbia. Since our itineraries coincided, I offered to take her by car, but she declined, preferring her canoe. I then left to visit villages bordering the neighboring creeks formed by the Mungo and Tiko rivers, especially Mabeta, Bimbia, and unmapped Ijo fishing settlements.

Opinions expressed by contributors are theirs alone - they do not reflect the opinions of the Africa Centre, London. 30 Oct 2002, by Neville Grant - Educational writer and consultant John Pepper Clark-Bekederemo was born at Kiagbodo in the Ijaw country in 1935 - the same region that features in The Ozidi Saga. He was educated at Government College, Ughelli and obtained an English degree from University College, lbadan. For a while he worked as a newspaper editor, before going to Princeton University in the United States where he was a Parvin Fellow. On his return to Nigeria he became a Research Fellow at the University of lbadan. He spent ten years as editor of the highly influential literary magazine Black Orpheus. He then moved to the University of Lagos, as Professor and Head of Department. Clark-Bekederemo remains a controversial figure in some respects, but there is no doubting his prowess as a poet. Many critics claim that his most lasting contribution is likely to be his translation and reconstruction of The Ozidi Saga, an Ijaw traditional drama cycle - a major contribution to the rehabilitation of the oral tradition.

Extractions: Dreaming Africa by Lennox Honychurch The people of Africa who were brought across the Atlantic ocean to work on the sugar and coffee plantations of Dominica from the early 1700s up until 1807 came from West Africa, from areas inland beyond the coast in a region that extended from what is today Senegal down to Angola. Two other periods of African arrival refreshed the cultural influences from across the Atlantic. After the first stage of Emancipation in 1834, a small group of workers from West Africa voluntarily agreed to contract themselves to come and work in Dominica for wages and settled near some estates. Then in 1837 and at other times around those years, ships carrying enslaved West Africans across the Atlantic Ocean and destined for colonies and states where slavery had not yet been abolished, were captured by the British Royal Navy. The slaves on board were disembarked on the islands including Dominica and were liberated. Areas where these persons were placed included Soufriere, Woodford Hill, Castle Bruce, Portsmouth and St.Joseph. Some African family names still with us that were handed down are: Akie, Cuffy (Kofi), Carbon (Gabon), Quamie, Quashie and Africa: Africa A family name originating from the village of Woodford Hill. The descendants of West Africans brought to Dominica after slave emancipation and who were landed as free people. They did not experience plantation slavery. The British Royal Navy had orders to search the seas, and to capture and liberate the people on any vessels carrying enslaved Africans that were heading for Brazil, Cuba, the USA and other destinations where slavery had not yet been abolished. Some of these vessels were seized near Dominica and the people on board were set free here. The Dominican ÂcreolesÂ, born and brought up on the island for many generations, called the new arrivals ÂThe AfricansÂ. A group of them at Woodford Hill took the name as their surname. Other places receiving free Africans were Portsmouth, Castle Bruce, St Joseph and Soufriere.

Vodoun, Voudou, Voodoo,Sevi Lwa) is commonly called Voodoo by the public. The name is traceable to an African word for "spirit"'. The Mysteries of Voodoo " Voodoo first records may date back to Nigeria and Dahomey, an early African faith based on the cult of the serpent, setting out to protect man from the perils of daily life: wild animals, rival enemies, and preserving on the other hand a healthy body and soul. During the time of slavery the magic was transported from Africa to the Americas. It is an instinctive magic, relating man to the essentials. The fundamental of Voodoo is the manifestation of the spirit world through the channel of a human being." Vodou Greetings in the name of God/Goddess, the ancestors, and all the lwa!

Extractions: Back to Refugees Nigerians culture health refugees immigrants Background on Country of Origin Nigeria is the most populous black nation in Africa with an estimated 112 million people. Nigeria is located on the West Coast of Africa, along the Gulf of Guinea, occupying approximately 356,670 square miles (slightly larger than twice the size of the state of California). The country is a federal republic consisting of 30 states, and 543 local governments. Nigerians capital city, Abuja, is located in the center of the country. In 1960, Nigerian achieved independence from British rule and a relatively peaceful and prosperous time followed. However, the large agricultural sector failed to keep up with the rapid population growth, and Nigeria, once a large exporter, now has to import food. Nigeria has large oil reserves, but since 1973 oil profits have diminished at a rapid rate, due first to political instability, and later to falling oil prices. A western style democracy was attempted in 1979, but collapsed in 1983. In 1993, attempts were made to restore the 1979 constitution, but this also failed. Currently, a repressive military regime controls the country. The People Nigeria is a complex cultural, linguistic, and social mosaic with over 250 ethnic groups speaking many different languages and dialects. Members of each ethnic group are typically concentrated in one area; however, many have migrated to urban areas, thus producing modern cities composed of mixed ethnic groups, with problems sometimes resulting. Ethnic rivalry and jealousies exist as part of the Nigerian culture although many ethnic groups are related to one another in some way.
